The bizarre part about the Buffaloguy recipe is that I SWEAR you can taste the coconut. And there is no coconut. It must just be something about the combination of flavorings playing off of each other.

Your probably tasting the Vanillin/Ethyl Vanillin in the Cinnamon Danish flavoring, which is in Coconut Candy flavorings. That or less likely the d-Decalactone in the Graham Cracker flavoring, which taste like coconut.

EddieAdams must have either cracked the code to bobas or gave up on finding the recipe...
FRAT warning
The first and it's terribly simple and just not anywhere near the hoopla surrounding it. All the stories about special flavors, magical extract, 70% flavoring, unicorn horn, pixie farts.....

I was skeptic like many for the same reasons. He made it very early in his career and nothing even in the same ballpark since. Not taking away, the guy made the most popular eliquid ever. Even if it's his only hit ever it was HUGE. (GJ doesn't count it's a variation of BB) I'd have guarded it and made up rumors surrounding it too.

Which brings me to sharing it. I've written the post containing the ingredients several times now and deleted. Partly out of selfishness (hundreds of mls wasted, good bit of nicotine gone, hundreds of dollars in wrong flavoring I'll probably never use, why share it with a bunch of people I don't really even know or owe anything?) but, mainly because I'd feel bad affecting someone's business. Maybe I'll watch that video I posted a bunch of pages back to not feel bad...[emoji23]

I'm certain I have the flavors correct and pretty confident about proportions. Still waiting on feedback from those I shared with. It's most likely 20% flavoring and I'm leaning towards equal parts of each which will make using any Vg/Pg combo easy by simply reducing the total percentage. A drop of TA/EM mix. Also making all the bobas enjoyment not such a gunker.

Even if I'm dead on there will be a bunch of naysayers. I'll post as soon as I hear back from people...

Happy 4th!

Ok Eddie .... Lets cut through all the BS, and just post the formula you feel you have mastered.

Nobody here cares whether or not you somehow offend the guy that created Boba's ... He more than likely don't even read anything in this forum anyway.

Don't be shy ... tell us what you think is in it ... you will be but one of many that think they have figured it out.

Again, tell us what you think in in this stuff ... We don't need any drama!

Who are you? And why should I care what you think?

What have you contributed here?

Well, that's a good question you just asked me.

My name is Ron, and I live in Florida. And to be honest, I have not contributed anything to this particular thread.

And as far as I see it ... If you don't tell us what you believe is in the Bobas formula, you have not contributed anything to this thread either.

Got anymore silly questions?

So you've literally done nothing to help or contribute then post in disbelief that no one has figured it out..
Jeeeze .... Over 2,000 posts now and nobody has been able to clone Boba's yet?

Has anyone ever tried calling the guy that actually created the recipe and asked him what's in it ... Or is the secret locked up in a big steel vault someplace. :)

How about asking one of his previous employees that was fired or quit? ... They have nothing to lose by telling you what's in it.
Then when someone has something they're confident about and has spent the time and money figuring it out you have the gall to insist they share and belittle if they don't immediately. I'll take the time to PM everyone except you with the recipe. Good luck figuring it out there champ....

Eddie, no offense Ive seen posts like yours saying "i think i got it but Im not gonna post it" kinda things in this very thread before.

Frankly, if you've cracked it, great. Waiting on some people to try it and report back before you do is kinda ludicrous considering you have lots and lots of people here who can and will give you all the feedback you want. Alot of us have done alot of work on this, me included, and frankly Im a little offended you dont trust us enough to just come out and show your work. You arent the only one who has put in effort here. Ill be the first to say good job and yay for you if it is indeed a good clone.

Now with that being said, the adage is, "put up or shut up".

Edit... I hope you take that last part more as prodding/joking but still a challenge ;)

Don't let one poster get your guff. He's speaking for himself (at least not for me). I haven't contributed by posting anything meaningful. I didn't think it made sense to post my failed attempts.

I've become more hopeful when I made a test batch of Scubadatan plus chocolate and graham cracker. That seems like it's getting close. I plan on adding a few different HA tobaccos that my notes indicate had 'boba like qualities'. Regardless, I don't like to post unless I have something meaningful and I've always been a step or two behind the crowd.

I hope you'll publish your findings in the spirit of the forum. I appreciate the time it takes to develop a recipe, especially when you're targeting a specific existing juice.

Just a note, Eddie did share it with me just now. Im not posting it. Its his work so its his to share. I shared my thoughts on the recipe with him based on what I know of the ingedients he is using, and have my doubts, but Ill take a shot and see if its a close approximation to bobas. I may have to order a couple things tho to give it a totally fair shot. I just dont have one or two of the flavorings he is using out of the over 150+ I do have at home.

In the hopes EddieAdams has it, I'm reposting some links where Ben mentioned some hints. Mostly, just so I don't have to dig back 1500 posts to find them again. Curious to see how much of what Ben said holds true.

I keep a folder of BB info, might as well dump it here...
5 flavors, but none of these.
40% flavoring.
Tobacco hints.
Boba's with 3 tobacco flavorings.
No alcohol in Boba's Bounty.

The 40% flavoring is crazy...

I know he said that but, it's literally like 2 vapes before your coil is a block of crud...

Back to pm ing everyone my recipe to be tested and tuned...

It does sound absurd, but to be honest Boba's creates gunk on my coils stupid fast, I can taste it within a ml consumed at both 15 and 30 watts. It's far longer for it to get to the point of needing a dry burn, but being primarily an unflavored guy I'm exquisitely sensitive to burnt crap (my coils go months and my wicks go weeks at with .5 duals on a mech) and I can pick it up readily.

Thanks for the PM bro!

I think if it is 40%, like 20% is coming from one super weak flavoring. I have a few VG based flavorings from back around that time period that take really high percentages, due to the fact they're mostly VG, and not super concentrated like a lot of the stuff is now.

I'm running a 1.0 micro 28g with SS mesh REO and it gunks in 3 vapes. Regular bobas gunks but, not that fast...

Lol I'm crazy with the dry burns too...

Good to know. Maybe that's it or maybe he's adjusted with the higher concentrations now...
