Bringing the original full set of recipes forward.

Sorry for the long delay in my promised results ... life happens :)

Here are the seven (plus a Gorilla Juice) Clone recipes that were tested by at least 14 vapers. The real Boba's was always vaped first and all others were tried against it and never in the same order.

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?
- Almond Oil = LorAnn
- Sweetner = Ethyl Maltol Crystals in VG
- Steep time one week through to three weeks by end of trial

"Teas: As much as tea is one of the healthiest beverages around, it also contains some amount of nicotine. Green and black tea, whether caffeinated or decaf, does contain some nicotine. Black tea, for example, has content of about 100ng/g of nicotine. Instant tea, as compared to natural brewed tea, may have a nicotine reading going up to 285ng/g."

This is a fun and interesting thread, only took me a week to read it all. :laugh:

Regarding cola, it is a flavor that can crack tanks. I haven't yet seen anyone mention BB cracking a tank. Surely there are some BB vapors who use clearomizers. But, even before I got to the posts about Coca Cola, I was thinking Cherry Coke.

I've never had BB, so I don't know how to compare any flavors, but I see a lot of posts about almond and some thoughts about cherry. However, I've never seen anyone mention maraschino cherry flavoring (maybe I missed it along the way). The flavoring in maraschino cherries is almond flavoring. That would at least kill two birds with one stone, so to speak...

I've also seen cinnamon mentioned in some of the posts. Coca Cola itself also contains cinnamon. So there you go. I think you guys are onto something!

This thread reminds me of a soap opera, lol. I hope someone figures it out!

Found this roaming around the forum in another DIY thread:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ce/179588-0mg-nicotine-juice.html#post3022790

Their tobacco flavorings contain nicotine.

Good find. He was pretty vague with the word "flavoring" though, because that could simply mean that he flavors all of his tobaccos with some other ingredient that contains nicotine, like Coca extract. He didn't clearly state that his tobacco flavorings themselves contain nicotine.

Happy Birthday Levitas!

I mixed up 3 tobaccos last night, but I haven't had time to mix up juice. Maybe later. Anyway, the tobaccos are Cherry Cigar (Chinese flavoring from RTS but I see HS also has a Cherry Cigar), HS Gold & Silver (helloooo, Bounty Hunter. lol) and HS Desert Ship (the pic on ECX kinda reminds me of Jabba's Desert Skiff <geek). The smell is freaking phenomenal. I'm a little torn at this point what to mix it with. Continue with the whiskey and a splash of cola, a little AP or nut or what. I'll let you know. :)

I forgot to mention- putting all these things together, about AVE tobacco flavors not being able to be made with 0nic, and if the supposition that he's blending pre-made juices is true, well Hangsen liquids...the lowest is 6mg. Maybe a clue, maybe not. HS has a Korean tobacco liquid that I would LOVE to get my grubby mitts on but I don't think it's available at all here.

Hey everyone. I am new to this forum, and also this thread. However, I have been following this thread, and reading a lot of the input by everyone and I think that I have a lot to offer. I have been trying to figure out boba's now for over a month. Let's just say I have access to plenty of flavoring, and I have tried so many different combinations of tobacco and flavorings with no luck. This might be one of the hardest juices I've ever tried to crack! I did want everyone's input on one thing. Why do you think with boba's that there is constant fizz, or bubbling going on at the top of the bottle? I'm curious to know what everyone's input is on why that is. I've made a lot of juices, and have never seen that happen like it does in a bottle of boba's..

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that I also got that fizz when using TPA's Banana Nut Bread. It's been a few months since I've used it though.

Fizz as in carbonated fizz? I have gone through 180 mls of Boba and never noticed but then again never took it out of the green bottles except with a syringe to load a tank. Describe this fizz.

My neighbor makes a very bad wine that fizzes but that's probably because he doesn't rinse out his sterilizer thoroughly enough :p
