Create BB and GJ??

[Proetus]

Since we obviously can't buy this stuff right now we need to create it with some off the shelf juice! I don't even know where to start with BB other then some graham cracker and with GJ obviously banana! Someone has to have made a fairly decent attempt at it! Help me out here!

Sorry didn't clarify, for those of us that don't DIY.

There's plenty of great juice out there you can buy not named Boba's and GJ.

I'm well aware of other juices, and i have plenty. I do enjoy these two juices and thought it would be nice to be able to emulate them if we could with off the shelf jucies. Both of these are of the few that i would consider an ADV for me.

no one has emulated them in years... or they'd be selling them... as popular as they are... someone would have cashed in by now. hundred+ threads on this over the past 3 years.

if you like these... try reading the ry4 round-up thread for many suggestions...

try/explore: bounty hunter from nitelite, mr. miagi from fuzion, casablanca from bwb, vanilla tobacco shake from nhaler, taboo from liquidxpress, my sin from goodlife, bananas foster from vaperite, dark honey tobacco from aroma...

*******edited to say, I understand your original question better -

no good answer though - I really don't think there is a good answer.

lasttango has become my guru here. I think I remember reading that Ben said that BB was a simple recipe. Riding a unicycle is simple too if you know how to do it.

iirc, Ben said something like "people would be shocked at how simple it is".

I have my strong hunches... one, I think the base is the twist no one can get quite right... and I think his flavor supplier for bobas isn't a supplier that is overused... when he runs out of the flavoring, it takes him longer than we want for him to get it back in stock... and it's gone quick...

The friends I have made that are vendors frequently have this happen with very small suppliers and overseas suppliers.

imagine it's four years ago and alien visions is one of the much fewer mom and pop vendors out there... This is at a time when lots of folks are selling chinese juices...

and Ben is teaching in Korea....

...and Ben's loyal customers keep asking him for a certain flavor...

Seriously, 4 years ago were people really requesting unicorn blood and pluid? geez, three years ago it seemed revolutionary if someone added a little chocolate to the tobacco ;-)

so, given all these clues... I have always imagined that Ben makes this incredible base... and uses a relatively scarce brand flavoring that is a relatively ordinary flavor... the whole is much greater than sum of the parts... or however cliche goes ;-)

in any case, I have always felt that it was incredibly special... unique and.......

Oxygen thief, thanks for the kind words... and I love the unicycle quote!
