Interesting. For what it's worth, I'm liking the brown sugar extra from TPA. It's not perfect but fairly natural tasting to my buds at least.
My chocolate is from tpa as well, but I'm looking for a better one.
Just a quick one guys.
I was reading on the uk forums about oba oba the other day and was wondering if this oba oba was about when Boba's bounty was made.
The reason i ask is, Some of the guys say its similar to Bobas, The other thing is the obvious oba , Put Bens first initial to oba and it becomes
Boba, I wonder????.

Interesting...I've never tried Oba but I will check it out.
I've actually read somewhere the exact same analogy of the Oba to Boba thing, I've also read results that say a BIG Negative on the Oba-Oba. I would post a source but after reading as many posts as I have on the subject I have no idea where. No reason to not try it though, maybe you will like the taste.
Any alternative to Black mile plus for recipe #7 ? Its always out of stock on ecx, i heard that boomerdude is using black cigar by hangsen but couldnt find such flavor on ecx hangsen section!!
Any alternatives from TPA or FA maybe?

Also, if Ben is using 3 tobaccos, I think he is using:
#1-Perique----This would supply Raisin notes, with a slight vinegar aroma.
#2-Air cured Burley-----This would supply nuttiness and notes of chocolate
#3--I believe is either a Turkish or Bright Virginia flue cured.

Some of the older Boba's reviews, mostly on Youtube have some interesting comments, some may be very worthy of possible experimentation and may even help get closer to the Boba's riddle.
I've tried, and tried, and tried, and tried to replicate Boba's. He's using an NET. That's the secret.
I've given up on getting it and just order it now. Far easier
I've spent so much money trying to replicate it I could have had a TON of Boba's instead of all these DIY materials!

I agree, and buy my Boba's in the 100ml bottles, I've read and watched everything I could find on Boba's, reviews, clone/recipe thoughts, and threads. All of that tends to lead me to agree on some kind of NETs being the main taste ingredients. I don't think this will ever be 100% duplicated. I think experiments with various Pipe, and Cigar TAB extracts would end up getting close. If you search a bit you can find cigar reviews where the reviewer mentions taste very close to Boba's. A mention of Ben making up the first Boba's for a friend to mimic his favorite smoke, drink combination was mentioned some where. A reviewer said it tasted like one of his favorite pipe Tabs.
All of this is worth nothing, but are clues to follow. My problem is hunting down, and spending the cash to buy all of these Tabacs to try it. Don't think anyone will ever duplicate this by using the various flavors from TFA, FW, Etc. I'm sure Ben sits back and gets a huge smile when he reads these threads! Hats off to him for producing such a great medley of flavors!
I tend to agree he is using at least one NET.
To quote him:
We are glad you are enjoying the Boba's Bounty and Gorilla Juice. However, all of our tobaccos come with a flavoring that contains nicotine. This addition prevents us from producing our tobacco line in 0mg. Only our sweet flavors are available in 0mg.

You would be right. It is "basically" Boba's with some Banana-esque flavorings but I take 2 base tobacco elements out of the Gorilla Juice to help it interact better with the--best word is-- "potassium" side of the banana flavors. The lack of those 2 tobacco flavorings though have been why many people love Gorilla Juice but can't do Boba's.
P.S. - excuse my over use of quotation marks, I do that whenever I want to truncate some lengthy explanation into one word or phrase.

There are 3 tobacco flavorings in BB, at least one of which is most likely a NET. He removes 2 tobacco flavorings from BB and adds banana-type flavorings for the GJ. GJ is still considered one of his tobacco juices (can't get it in 0 nic), so it must contain a NET.
His BB formula could contain 2 artificial tobacco flavorings and one NET, 1 artificial flavoring and 2 NETs or 3 NETs. It has to have at least 1 NET, which is the one he leaves in GJ. When he says I take 2 base tobacco elements out of the Gorilla Juice , we don't know if those 2 tobacco elements are artificial flavorings or actual NETs.

Like I said before, I believe he is using 3 net"s-----I will be experimenting with these soon.
Perique= throat hit, raisin, with slight vinegar notes.
Air cured Burley=Nuttiness and chocolate notes
Smooth Virginia or Turkish=These will round the other two out.
Now as far as the last two ingredients.....I have a couple solid Ideas.

Wow, it looks like you guys/gals are onto something! I've since given up, as mentioned earlier.
FARRRR easier and cheaper to just buy the real stuff from Ben

The Real stuff unfortunately isn't real anymore. It has changed taste. It is somewhat grassier and honeyer.
If he is using an NET. Some batches of NET could have come out differently. Whether the extraction process is different or maybe he got a slightly different tobacco to use. Or aalwani could be right, and one or more of the ingredients are no longer available...or used. Maybe since AVE is making profits...they got a machine to do extractions, instead of doing it by hand. I haven't had BB in a while so IDK if it tastes differently than what it used to before.
