has anyone actually made a good Boba's clone or GJ?

[JoeDerty]

Ive been hunting for the past week for a Boba's clone but have yet to see someone say they got it! Has there been any luck? or GJ

Close but no cigar so far. Many people working on it.

 

[mourningshadow]

So far nothing has been close to be honest. However many amazing recipes have been made in the trying, a few of which for some are better than Boba's

Seems #7 is going to be a good tasting alternative.

RBA dripping atties were used.

Other important notes,
- not all flavorings were 100% VG
- all bases were 12mg at 100% VG
- 15% flavor to base
- B&M Plus = Ecig Express
- Tobacco Express Captain = Ecig Express
- Black Honey Tobacco = Ecig Express
- Coconut = Capella
- Cotton Candy = LorAnn
- Chocolate Fudge Brownie = Capella
- Cinnamon Danish Swirl = Capella
- Graham Cracker = Capella
- Bannana Nutbread = FlavorArt
- Cherry = Canvape Pro Series?

I've never had Boba's. But I mixed up a batch of number 7 (with a couple of unavoidable substitutions) and it made quite a good juice. Freshly made, it seems a bit weak at 15%, but I'll let it sit awhile before making any final determination.

Thank you for the recipe!!

So to make Bobas #7 I am supposed to mix the flavorings first? Like I want 30ml of flavoring so I mix that up based off the percentages but how long do I let theses flavorings steep before I mix up my batch with nic to let steep? Sorry for the dumb question but I want to get this right.

I'm pretty sure you just make it with everything and then it steeps.

You want to make a 30ml of just flavoring?
If that's not what you were asking then all u need to do is break those numbers down to a 20% ratio as the op said. Get an eliquid calculator that will allow you to put in total flavor % so you can just use those percentages without having to work too hard lol There's one out there but I can't think of the name of it...maybe someone else knows?

 

[Bryan lord]

E juice me up or e juice calculator. Just google e juice calc.

So when you say vinegar, are we talking apple cider vinegar?

 

[MamaTried]

>- 15% flavor to base

does this mean 15% of total (15f +85b) or literally 15 to (15f + 100b)?

Should be 15f + 85b

I finally received my Boba's and Gorilla Juice today from AVE. I was a bit underwhelmed. The reason being that I made some Boba's Clone #7 a few weeks ago now, and I can say it is in the ballpark to the real deal in my opinion. While not a perfect match it certainly is just as good a juice if not better. This was sampled on a squid-style RDA.

The Black & Mild cigar flavor dominates. If anything, I would add just a bit less vinegar next time to my #7 mix, but I agree it needs to be there. I also taste malt (aroma of malt sugar) in the real Boba's.

The 100% VG in the real Boba's makes for a smoother, fuller vape, but you can get your clone to 10/90 or 15/85 depending on how strong you like it. You'll need a VG nicotine source if you're particular about it. My mix is about 70/30 PG/VG and it's real nice.

As for Gorilla Juice (and Clone #6), I haven't made that clone but the real GJ has a spot on Banana Nut Bread flavor I've tasted before. I'm currently out, but I had some Banana Nut Bread Concentrated Flavor from Vaping Zone... it tastes just like it. I'm sure Capellas or FlavourArt is also very good.

Nice recipes!
