My Boba's clone

[The Wolds]

Is there anything that comes close to Black & Mile Plus ?

Reason I am asking is that living in the UK means postage and customs tax would be high for a bottle of the stuff from ecigexpress

All the other flavours I can get over here

BTW is the Vinegar White distilled or something else ?

Thanks in advance for any replies

I'm also from the uk and would be interested in any alternatives, I'm currently using black mild from PA.

Is the Black Mild close enough ?

Which UK supplier sells it ?

Here you go pal
Mild Black

I have this mixed and testing side by side with Boba and its very close, Hope it helps.

Right now I used distilled white vinegar. I may try to experiment with using other kinds of vinegar in the future. Such as apple cider vinegar, or malt vinegar. But right now even with vinegar in my mix, I really don't understand why its in the recipe. I can't taste it in the final mix. The same goes for the Almond oil. I'm using the exact same brand of almond oil the is recommended in BB clone #7.

The almond oil has almost no smell direct from the bottle. I have to really put my nose in there in order to smell something, and the smell is not strong at all. I have some vinegar and almond mix left over in individual bottles. The next time I have a clean coil and wick I will sample each on their own to see if if I can taste anything and to see if these are ingredients worth having in a BB clone.

I have some BB clone ideas that I'm working on to try and make a better recipe. Right now, the BB #7 recipe as it stands is pretty good...Good enough to be an ADV. But I also think that it's lacking on some flavors that the real Boba's has.

I think Black and Mile is not part of Boba. So that is why, although #7 is an excellent recipe, it doesn't share the base flavor with Boba.

 

[Sad Society]

That's right aalwani. PPl talk about how they speculate three different types of tobacco flavors in the real Boba's.

I'm not trying to figure those out. I'm just speculating on flavors that I taste in Boba's and trying to recreate what I taste. If I figured out the real recipe, then it wouldn't be a clone. But getting the real recipe is not going to happen. Ppl have tried and we're still here...what page are we on in this thread?

That's great ...The mix you are using, is it the number 7 recipe ?

 

[Menthologist]

Yes mate number 7,
All flavours mixed at 15% in separate bottles.
Just need to have a play with them now.

 

[The Wolds]

Keep me updated ... I'd be interested in the results

Just been having a smell of Boba and I'm getting Mcvities chocolate Hob Nobs .....

OK guys, I got a new Ejuice Calculator, and I was able to reverse engineer the BB Clone #7 recipe that Slowhand posted.

What some ppl didn't understand was: All flavors were added at 15%.

I know that looking and the original recipe with the numbers and then the 15% added flavoring...it can be confusing.

Here is the original recipe:

Boba's Clone #7
Black and Mile Plus 40.0%
Cinnamon Danish Swirl 20.0%
Almond oil 20.0%
Coconut 7.1%
Graham Cracker 7.1%
Vinegar 5.8%

Now here are the actual flavors added. (tfnc was right in his post #1789)

Black and Mile Plus 6%
Cinnamon Danish Swirl 3%
Almond oil 3%
Coconut 1.06%
Graham Cracker 1.06%
Vinegar .87%

Just add those percentages to your ejuice calculator and you can make any amount of the recipe you want.

I am a little confused on the cigar flavor used. I see it called "Black and Mild" and "Black and Mile" I found vendors with each name. This is not a flavor I've worked with yet. Can someone clear this up for me and recommend the best vendor to get this from?
Thanks!

 

[glasseye]

Black Mile Plus by Tobacco Express 10ml - ecigExpress
There ya go Shooter.

 

[jcal]

Black and Mile Plus 6%
Cinnamon Danish Swirl 3%
Almond oil 3%
Coconut 1.06%
Graham Cracker 1.06%
Vinegar .87%

That's how I made my first batch and didn't care for it .now I'm going to try individual flavors and mix together and see what happens
thank you guys for all your input

 

[44shooter]

Thanks Glasseye. ordered some

Would love to try this clone. Im gonna use the Mild black (thnx Menthologist) since shipping cost for B&M is over $27 to my country What i cant get is the Almond oil. Instead i guess i just use the Capella toasted Almond.

In the clone there is 15% flavour used. How much % to use when im adding all VG base?

Has anyone ever tasted 1 year old Boba's? I have.

Last week before the holidays my friend brought a sample bottle of Boba's that he had bought about a year ago. He had forgoten about it and it had about a ml left in it. I loaded up 3 drops in my atty and vaped away.

The first image that popped in my head was a pine tree air freshener that you hang on your rear view mirror. It was nasty.

Anyway, I have been mixing up some of the old tobacco's that I didn't care for when I started vaping 7 months ago and guess what tastes like 1 year old Boba's?

TFA 555 tobbaco at 2.5% and Tobacco Absolute blend at 1% steeped 1 week.

I've had older-than-one-year-old Boba's and Gorilla juice and they were fine. The fresh stuff just tasted a little better IMHO. But I had full bottles essentially that I'd stocked up on, so there wasn't a ton of room for oxygen, and they were kept in pure darkness.

I'm a little old fashioned with my vaping, so to speak. I see a lot of people using RbA's, clearomizers, and the sort, but I honestly think that those devices stifle the flavor.

I use de-bridged 510 attys, and I've found nothing else comes close to to bringing out Boba's full flavor (as full as I would describe the taste, anyways). It seems like, when comparing to dripping in a 510, that a clearomizer, or even my own built coils (using silica, cotton, hemp, and well, I've tried nearly everything but SS mesh) reduce some of the flavoring of Boba's.

Some may disagree, and that's fine. But I've been vaping Boba's for nearly 3 years, and to me, it tastes at its highest potential dripped into a 510 atty. In fact, I believe even Ben utilizes old school attys for his personal vaping (bottom fed through a Reo, if I'm not mistaken).

Anyhow, I've never tried any Tab flavorings, but I've recently graduated and became licensed and I just got a new job, so, I'll have a LOT more money now to experiment with flavorings, etc. I'll likely jump back into the thread to see if I can help discern the mystery that is Boba's Bounty.

Agree 100%. A good atomizer definitely lets you taste more depth. I use a SS mesh micro coil 28g on my Reo and Rm2. Just as good if not better than an atomizer for tasting IMHO.
An example is,I have several friends that buy liquid from me. One in particular, everybody is fond of is a coffee with vanilla, chocolate, and caramel. The one guy uses cartomizers exclusively and with that setup the chocolate and coffee are just dominant. All you can taste. The others all use BF's with atomizers or the above set-up and with that the caramel and vanilla shine through. I may reduce the chocolate and coffee anyway, just making a point. I know cartomizers are low of low as far as tasting goes.Just my$0.02 for those trying. Plus you don't have to fill a whole tank.

All the effort (and wasted liquid) is appreciated. I know how it goes. Took me months and about 500ml of wasted liquid to figure my favorite out. Would think I had it on a small test sample after a decent steep, make a big batch, then end up finding out I had made garbage.
Not an expert by any means and I'm sure there's far more experienced people here but, the advice I can give from my experience is:

use an atomizer or something of equal tasting ability. Atomizers, for new users do need break-in

The earlier in the "steep"you can taste the liquid the better. Start picking apart the day you receive it. Once they're melded together completely, it's hard to distinguish the individual components. From what I've read bobas doesn't need to really steep which makes it tricky. If there is a steep, the earlier the better.

And stick to small test samples 5-10ml and really wait for them to finish before making a big batch or posting that you've done it. Guilty of both a bunch of times.

I have black mile and have to say when I first smelled it I thought Bobas. Might start tinkering with this. From reading this thread I think it's simple probably. Obviously not to figure out, just the actual recipe.

I just made my firs attempt at #7.. I am getting a very strong almond flavor too.. I haven't let it steep at all.. I just couldn't wait... But I'll revisit in about a week and see.. I love the smell of the b&m , but not tasting it as much as almond

 

[vapolator]

I've finded than the Bitter Wizard of FA do more the job than a bunch of almond flavors (toasted or not, i'm hating almond taste, it's for that).
