My Boba's clone

[buffaloguy]

Can someone consolidate where we are at with recipe #7 and and all of the tweaks. Please post the flavors and exact percentages with the full names, not the acronyms and the best places to acquire the flavors.

If someone could cut and paste the below recipe then in BOLD add the substitutes and vendors to acquire the substitutes and recipe percentages that would be so helpful for people to order what they want and need.

I would really appreciate it if anyone wants to take the time to do this.

Here is the original #7 from slohands post on page 42 post #411:

1. Black & Mild 6% (ecig express?)
2. Cap Cinnamon Danish Swirl 3%
3. LA Almond Oil 3%
4. Cap Coconut 1.06%
5. Cap Graham Cracker 1.06%
6. Vinegar (your local grocer) .87%

Thank you!

Black n mild is ecigexpress.com. Cap is capellas flavorings. LA is loranns. Youll have to find vendors for them. They are all over. Just google em. The diy fourm has stickies with common acronyms. You may want to read the stickies.

TA is tobacco absolute. The ways to use it are pages back and all over ECF. This has all been stated in the thread many many times. I know maybe you are in a hurry but its a great thread to learn from if you take time to read it.

Im hoping someone will make it exactly the way I did. I really think by adding anything else you might throw it off by alot. I really believe its spot on the way I had it flavoring wise. As I said the only thing I might try different is eliminating the extra seedmans added in the buffalobacco part I used.

BUFF, can you repost your exact recipe and percentages and where you got each flavor and not do acronyms?...LOL

I would really appreciate it.

Thank you.

So 8% total flavoring?

Can you post where you got all of your flavorings and what is "TA?"...thank you.

Wizardlabs has the 555, Tobacco Absolute Blend, Cinnamon Danish, and Brown Sugar Extra.

Since I do a 50/50 PG/VG mix, the total flavoring works. But if you try 100% VG you might try higher percentages.

If I were in USA I'd be getting all my flavors from Dawn. Anybody committed to boba's would be crazy to shop anywhere else.

On a (sort of) different note, the (unofficial) forwarding agent who supplies many Australians with products from Alien Visions and other leading US juice suppliers is out of business for 2 months or so. My missing package along with 4 others disappeared mysteriously on 3 July or shortly after. Customs in his country also seized his imported liquids at about the same time. So he's relocating. That's bad news for people like ColinD and myself. Anybody out there who would like to set up as a forwarding agent to Australia would be doing a great service and could make a decent profit too. Anybody interested can PM me if you don't want to talk about it in open forum.

Where does Dawn work- Alien Vapors?

DIYflavorshack. She basically helped Ben get started way back when he was in Korea.

I bet if I used the 555 from DIYFS it would be closer to BB. Wouldn't that be something if the 3 Tobaccos were indeed: B&M, 555, TA. The other two could just be distilled water (that was mentioned earlier), and a sweetener or maybe Vape Wizard.

 

[phanto]

As far as I know, all ingredients are made in the U.S.A.

My guess, as previously noted, he's having flavorings (made and) sold to him exclusively, likely from One Stop.

I thought that most USA products, and Australian ones, were made in China (or Korea). And it's also legal to put 'made in USA' on anything which is assembled there, even if every component is brought in from other parts of the known Universe. And since Hangsen + Dekang supply 90% of ejuices and concentrates throughout that Universe, well, you can come to your own conclusions.

So, here we go again. I suspected this to happen. Somebody tries to clone the fake BB.

FYI: The real BB is made by Alien Vision or AVE not by this knock off fake company - their "product" reportedly tastes like something my cat would drag in....

Cheers.

I have tasted this knockoff. I think your cat would leave it outside.

@wharfrat, I did post what sorta haphazardly threw together a couple pages back. As far as translating it without acronyms I just dont have the time right now.

Ill put together a more concise recipe maybe tomorrow night, but if you simply make 6ml of the buffalobacco recipe of mine and then add 2 drops cinn danish and three drops black and mild, thats all I did.

Is anyone making it? or is no one taking it seriously now that so many versions have been tried we just think they all fail or.fall short? Im just curious cause I can keep this my little secret.... well not really, but I could stop encouraging people to try.

I have it. I know it is likely 555 and black and mild flavoring from diyfs flavor shack being used, but I dont have those. Im serious when Im telling you that this is it. I vaped it all day. Again percentages might need tweaking but the flavor profile is spot on. My palate rarely lies to me. Ive been cooking daily since I was five years old.

Try it, or....

Mines not even close.... not at all!

Psh, at least they could follow this thread and make something closer than the swill they produce.

Hey Buffalo, Im gonna try it, I have to order the flavors.

Put the wrong quote in with message....Doh!

 

[WharfRat1976]

Just ordered a 10ml bottle of BB from AV so....BOOM

 

[Mr. Buttflakes]

Out of all the tobacco's I just ordered 555 wasn't one of them...go figure. I'll also need the cinnamon danish, but I do have cinnamon bread. I'll have to order those but It'll we a while. I know Ben uses some sort of sweetener, maybe stevia? I can taste it plain as day in my boba's. Also I never really thought there was a cinnamon in it, and figured it was the nicotine so never gave it much though after. But now I am noticing the light cinnamon aftertaste and sweetener. I'm looking forward to hearing what everyone thinks about your new Mix buffaloguy.

 

[buffaloguy]

The mix as I have it, does have a sweet profile. A slight bit of cinnamon in food actually enhances natural sweetness. One of the reasons cinnamon was used in apple pie recipes was to cut down on added sugar so the natural sweetness of the apples could be enhanced. Plus the TA blend used does have EM in it and it is mostly still VG.

I do not believe it needs any sweeteners at all.

I want to try it but the thing is that I don't mix TA the same way everyone else does. I don't use drops, I mix bigger batches and use a 1mL syringe to measure out the TA in bigger batch sizes than most. I simply don't like relying on drops. I'll take a closer look at your buffallobaco recipe and see if I can customize it slightly according to my TA.

 

[buffaloguy]

All you really need for it is TPA's TA Blend which is Scubatdan's recipe, pretty much the same as Ive read and been using for a long time. Its 10ml of pg or alc as a base, 1/4 teaspooon of EM crystals, and two drops TA pure.

Alternatively you can do 10 ml of VG base, and two drops of TA pure, BUT you will want the TA and VG both warmed when you add the TA. Omitting the EM.

If that helps you?

 

[buffaloguy]

This is exactly what I mixed the other night with the math all worked out properly. I did it in VG nic base with IN A 6ML tester size.

VG Nic of choice / Plain VG (I made it at 10mg)
Seedmans Commercial Concentrate @4% (Wizardlabs)
TPA Dk/555 Tobacco @ 2% (Wizardlabs)
Black & Mild @ 2% (Vapingzone)
TPA Cinnamon Danish @ 1% (Wizardlabs)
Distilled Water @ 12.5% (Local Supermarket)
Dan's Mix @ 1.5% (premix tobacco base)

How to make what I call Dan's Mix. Its one part TPA Tobacco Absolute Blend in either PG or ALC, and 2 parts Seedman's Commercial mixed together then used at 1.5% as in the above recipe.

As TPA tobacco ansolute blend is also hard to come by you can make that on your ownas well via the post above.

Now, as I said, precentages might need playing with, and Im not certain on that additional 4% of straight seedmans I have in the recipe above but it seems to work as far as the flavor profile goes. Also to try is reduce the cinnamon danish to 0.5%, and the 555 to 3% (just things to play with). I do think Ben prolly used all DIYFS tobaccos except for the TA which means he likely used Scubatdan's or Nuck's Tobacco Absolute recipes which would be why using TPA Blend works.

But make the recipe above first without modification and say your piece on it. I wont get mad and tell you you are wrong unlike some others. Just give feedback and constructive ideas.

Call me insane, say Im wrong if you like, but Im throwing in my towel on this one. I will help refine it if others think its spot on profile wise, as I do, but I will not attempt another clone after this. As far as I am concerned, bobas is cracked.

What amazes me is this is why the flavors of bobas were so familiar to me, and I never realized it. Ive been sitting on half the recipe for nearly 2 years. Believe me, I was stunned.

Ill order another small bottle of bobas to check and see if Im crazy tho... lol.

If you look at Ave premium juices you see a 555 so I suspect it would be in bb as well. Great findings buffalo. But if we want to stay true to what Ben mentioned it has to be: TA BM 555 CD and brown sugar.

The CD and brown sugar might be a cinnamon roll that his friend ate along the cigar or something (or was it drink something along the cigar, can't remember)
