About Tribeca clones

[PukinG]

First, please excuse my bad english.

I've tried all the recipes I've found tribeca clones, and the most I've gotten has been spoiling the DRY4.
Besides that, and as a curious note I have not read through any forum, I have observed both the Tribeca and the Bebeca, two curious things I have only been with these two liquids (do not know if someone with more experience they serve as tracks):

1. In the fibers remains a "blob" like caramel (I attached a couple of photos, although not very good, can give an idea of what I mean)
2. When I give a puff, I hear in the resistance a kind of clicks or pops. I have tried several atomizers and all of them are doing the same, but only with these and no with any other liquid.

The "blob" will inhibit wicking eventually. Can "wash" the atomizer with water or alcohol to try to get rid of it. Dark and/or sugary juices tend to clog with blobs moreso than more transparent juices.

The popping is usually a good sign of a clean hot coil. Some atomizers do it more than others.

Hola and Welcome,
As mentioned above....seems pretty normal.

Good luck
Have fun

Do you known some flavor that produce these "blob" over the fibers with a homemade liquid?

Bingo.

I got my answer.

So we have a club of vapers. We all suffer from ADD and need WTA.
We can taste it in the minutest of qty.

We also cook our own NETs WTA mixes. Its not easy and if we could buy it for a reasonable price locally we would.
So yesterday I got a call from one of the members in the group. He was like chk out Tribeca it has it. No where near the level off what we guys make and smoke but its there.

Spent a few minutes searching for info / clues and found this post.
The build up you see in your tank is IDENTICAL to what happens when we mix our WTA / NETS with another flavor.
The juicy stuff gets wicked up and there is a formation identical to your picture left behind in the tank.

We only observe this on Genny tanks. On regular tanks it all burns up and just gunks up the coil. We prefer the genny cause the right stuff seems to climb the wick and get vaped and whats left behind we just flush.

We extract 100 ML for every 100 Grms of cured leaf. We then mix this with just about any tob flavor. RY4, M-Type, Black Honey etc etc. And it makes for the most satisfying smoke. It hardly matters what flavor we mix it with. It just vapes super duper.

ronchinoy, What has been your best method for extracting so far ? PG / VG % ?
Do you add grain alcohol ?

 

[ronchinoy]

read my posts Ive documented as much as I could. Without getting into the acid/base method. Which seems to be taboo topic on here.

I dont much care for the acid / base method anyway because you dont get flavor.
Since as of now this is just for a small group of people Im happy sticking to the NET route.
Because we all love our flavors. And are willing to live with the gunking of coils. But if one where to take it comercial.
Then scaling up NET is not as easy as scaling up WTA. But trust me when I say NET gives you 100 times better flavor.
There is no comparison. Between a good Net and just WTA with an artificial flavor.

I have a question for OP. Do you find that your coils tend to gunk up more with this juice ?. If yes they are extracting flavor also.
If no. They are using pure WTA and using synthetic flavors.

I feel bad for American Vapers. They only seen to get mostly Synthetic flavors. In my country we only get Natural flavors.
Totally different even when compared to so called American Natural flavors.

VG dont do squat. Other than its good for you. And makes good clouds. PG works. Alcohol works. I steep for a month. With daily mashing. Heat with pressure / vacuum cycling.

Im a noob so take everything I say with a pinch of salt. If only I could figure out a way to combine the NET and Chemical route that would be my ultimate goal. i.e. first do a NET. Then just get rid of the organic compounds. Like Molasses. But its stuff like molasses which give the rich flavor.
