    Yes the Captain Black had an overwhelming cherry candy smell to it so I didn't go for it. The other brand that I'll try if I don't get the desired results from Borkum Riff is Super Saver. That was also a strong contender. I'm sure there are others out there.

    Thanks for the info! Have you tried extracting cherry cavendish yet? And if so what are your thoughts on it.

    Thanks for the tip - makes a lot of sense! It cant come out any worse than my cooking so I'll give it a shot!

    No doubt its a net derived from pipe tobacco. This is not something complicated that was created in a laboratory over a long period of time. The assumption that there are 3 separate tobaccos used for the base is based on the following quote: "It is "basically" Boba's with some Banana-esque...

    You might be onto something there with the pomegranate. There is definitely something giving the juice that distinct dark orange/ reddish color that I have yet to see in a net. All of mine come out more brownish and diluting them makes them more orange but not quite the right color when you...

    Thanks for the tip! I see that's its VG based as well. I cant tell though from the pic of the bottle what color it is. Is it red like the red hue you would see in certain juices? Yep those pipe tobacco flavors can be interpreted by the nose in many ways - the proof is in the flavor!

    I think nets are definitely the way to go at this point. I tried black and mild also and while it is awesome it's not exactly a match as you have experienced. Based on a fresh batch of bobas I just got I'm stongly leaning towards a cherry cavendish. The base is definitely a rich pipe extract...

    The thing that intrigues me so much about Bobas is not so much the tobacco flavors but the honey smooth vape you get from it. I've not experienced that with any other eliquid. I have some fresh Bobas on the way but have been sniffing a well steeped bottle for a while now and I'm now actually...

    There is definitely some wiggle room for some of the flavors to be alcohol or distilled water based. Quotes from early 2010: 1) A more suitable term might be "PG Free Liquids". Most of our Juices are 100% VG but some flavorings are based in alcohol or distilled water. The point being that...

    Very good points. I take the zero nic reference to allude to the assumption that the extracts will contain some residual nicotine left from the process even if the quantities are very small and barely measurable. Therefore you can't positively guarantee absolute zero nicotine when using them...

    Thank you for the clarification! I also concur with your theory that the flavors being used are commercially available. I have stated that I do not have much experience working with tobacco flavors but my take on the mix would be very similar to yours though yours I'm sure are much better...

    I've been following this thread with great interest and don't recall any reference to the small particles that are found floating in the subject juice - my apologies if this has been covered already. So my question is are these particles commonly found in certain tobacco extracts or are they...

    TPA Toasted almond

    I find it intolerable - dry and funky/bitter at any percentage. I've ruined quite a few good mixes trying to incorporate it. Possible I got a bad batch based on some of the prior posters input but I had to chuck it and have no plans to ever re-order. To each his own! Vape On!

    Your thoughts on kids who vape, but have never smoked an analog before?

    No concerns here. Most likely they would be picking up an analog habit if not for the vape. The alternative is much better IMO. Vape On!

    OK... now I'm getting frustrated..

    Many times simpler is better. Try a Pro Tank. Real simple to use with stellar results. Great investment and the replacement heads are real cheap and rebuildable if you desire to do so. Vape On!
