So I'm vaping some boba's today for a change. I usually vape my DIY ADV but recently bought a bottle of boba's just for the heck of it and it also reminds me of when I first started vaping. I use my A7 rba to fine tune my juices because I can single out certain flavors a little better with it for some reason. Juices that tasted well mixed, where the flavors melded together nicely on my HH.357 suddenly taste partitioned and completely separate after I got my A7.
What I taste in Boba's and intend to test are gingerbread, a little coconut, possibly spiced rum, and possibly a cigar. Gingerbread would lend the honey, gram cracker, and raisin flavor to the mix and then add some spiciness to the background tobacco flavor if it really exist. What throws you off that trail is the coconut. By normal standards coconut has no place in that mix but actually mixes well with the spices in gingerbread. I think the tongue gets confused between two well defined culinary standards. The spices in gingerbread include (but are not limited to) Cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and clove which are the same spices that you would find in spiced rum. When I think of Rum the first thing I think of is pina colada which is made with coconut cream. The second thought I have is Rum and coke. The coke might not be in there. The Rum might not be in there. Just having the coconut and gingerbread together gives us those impressions. Furthermore we may be getting that missing flavor effect like when you cook something and "something is missing" but you don't know what and it's driving us crazy. Ben did say it was simple, simple for him to mix for sure but the flavors are creating a sort of flavor illusion. Just a thought and I'll try it out and see what I come up with once I get all the flavors I need to test which might be a while.
