I have just recently begun mixing my own and have been trying to clone a juice called Grape Ape. I've purchased tfa grape juice, tfa, grape candy, fwd grape, Flavah grape, and flva grape (inawera on order). I can tell by the smell of my grape ape at least which ones are not a match and based on that i've been mixing with tfa grape juice.
The trouble I'm assuming is the sweetener because what I end up with is never close to the sweet aftertaste of the grape ape I'm trying to clone. I've tried tfa bubblegum, dx marshmallow, cotton candy EM, and sucrolose with lack luster results.
You would think a simple single or possibly dual fruit flavor would be easy but it has been a beating, 10 test mixes later and I still can't get it. I'm going for a front of the tongue grape juice taste on inhale and a sweet after note on exhale. I've spent hours and hours scouring the Web for some insight and reading reviews, notes, etc., which has resulted in my buying almost every grape flavor available but I really think its the sweetener that I have wrong, or possibly my percentages are off. I've come up with some decent end results but they are just not the same as the one I am trying to clone. I've been keeping my total flavor between 10-15%.
Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated.
