Natural Tobaccos

[Bronze]

I know I'm digging up a dusty old post here, but I've been reading throught this thread for like 3 weeks and I haven't got to the end yet! Just wanted to express my sheer envy re: the DF stash. I think this is my favorite juice so far.

In all truthfulness, in my vape world, there is Dragon's Fire and then there is everything else. DF connects with me on every conceivable human level. I vape it exclusively the last 50% of my day. I force myself to vape other things the first half of my day. Vape it in an RBA and it goes to even another level.

Welcome to my world.

I honestly can't see how someone DOESN'T taste graham cracker in Bobas. To me there's not a hint or a similar taste, it's ALL honey graham cracker.

Here's my DIY recipe for BB. Crush up some honey graham crackers, preferably the Nabisco brand. Add pure glycerin to cover, and let sit for a month. Filter well, add some vg nic, and boom.. Boba's Bounty. Chop up a banana to extract with the graham to make Gorilla Juice.

Good guess, but what accounts for the non availability of 0mg? See, I really don't mind the BB talk. I mind the same questions, sometimes 2 or 3 with the same or very similar titles.

All of the flavors in their "tobacco" line don't come in 0mg nic. Doesn't necessarily mean it's a NET, just means where they source their juice (they don't make their own flavorings) doesn't offer the flavoring in 0 nic, or maybe AVE just doesn't feel the need to obtain or sell the 0 nic version.

And if it does contain a NET as an ingredient (it doesn't), it's alongside a bunch of graham cracker flavor lol.

I'm not insinuating it being a NET. But maybe a NEGC.

No matter what it is, it's a monster of a juice. I should start a thread or three on it

See, that is why I need to sample some from your personal stash...because what I tried was downright nasty...and that means questioning everything you ever say for all eternity. I don;t want to live in that world

Like, say, for instance...a conversation on Smooth Criminal?

It's an NEOwR.

Got my latest netcom order today. First up, Fire-Cured Burley. 18mg, 50/50, extra extract. Wow. This is the smokiest vape I have had so far... Like a delicious campfire. The description on the website is quite accurate. If you like your tobacco in the background, don't bother with Fire-Cured Burley. Personally, I love it.

Also, dgmcferrin is no more... I am now Evil Speakers!

I'm still waiting for my NETcom order to ship... nearly a week since I placed the order, but it's a wait that's worth it.
BTW, I'm the vaper formally known as DasFreak.

Perique is referred to as the "caviar of tobacco's" and not just because it its high end stature. That said, it IS a must try. Mix it up. A couple burley's, some Virginia, a Latakia, a perique

Personally I am ordering all of the single leafs from NETCOm and going to play with blends

So if Perique is yeasty/fungal tasting, wouldn't that make it the "Truffle of Tobacco's"?

 

[boomerdude]

I've had Rimboche Perique Blend from Ryan and Daughters Tobacco Farm don't know if it's the same. The tobacco was really strong and a bit peppery which is why I didn't order anymore. You might like it. My advice would be to start out with a 20% dilution and take it from there. Oh, this is when I smoked tobacco. I didn't dilute it for ejuice. It was several years ago.

Are any of you pipers familiar with these blends?

2 Daughters Rimboche Perique Blend
Drew Estate Meat Pie (a Balkan Blend)

After several successes with Scarf's Slow Cooker method I'm ready to go for more distinctive flavors.
My tobacconist recommended these and they are on order. Couldn't find any reviews at tobaccoreviews.com

LOL!!! I hope you love DF BJ. But in all seriousness, it wont change either of our lives if you don't. Most everyone has a "DF" in their rotation.

I agree, Jerms.

If there's a speck of natural tobacco extract in BB, then I'm a, well, Boba's uncle. To my palate, BB is a synth TINO, all the way.

That said, BB is a great juice, deserving of its mythic reputation. For the past six months, I've been tweaking (and vaping) my own Boba's clone recipe made with synth TFA flue-cured and TFA DK-TAB flavorings plus cola, graham cracker, and raisin flavorings---I call it "Boba's Brother," but I finally broke down and ordered a 100ml bottle during AVE's recent sale. My clone turned out to be surprisingly close to BB and a darn good juice in its own right, but I'm pleased as punch to have authentic Boba's back in my stable.

Now I'm mixing my Boba's Brother clone 1:1 with real Boba's Bounty. Yum.

I also picked up 10mls of El Kamino last week, GoodLifeVapor's offering that some folks call a "Boba's Killer." It's not---BB easily dodged that assassin's bullet---but El Kamino is nonetheless an intensely flavorful and compelling juice.

A terrific by-product of having so many home-brewed NETs in great quantity is that I can experiment with adding natural extract tobacco to various synth tobacco blends to give them that extra oomph of NET flavor and authenticity. My Nat Sherman MCD and American Spirit Organic extracts are ideal for this. While delicious, they're more neutral (or at least less idiosyncratic) than my aromatic pipe NETs, so they augment synthetic artibacco blends especially well in hybrid use, rather than clashing with them or muddying the flavors.

I seriously cannot fathom why anyone would vape Boba's when there is Smooth Criminal. It makes no sense to me at all. Unless you haven't tried SC? In that case, get on it...because personally I will never vape Boba's again...and that is saying something.

Well...a late 2nd vape mail just wandered in my door...from Wake Forest...

So a pretty epic vape day. and yes, I am loading up the Dragon's Fire right now. The orangey pinking brown liquid already has me spooked. The smell is...familiar...that artibacco Tampa/Highbrow smell I know all too well. Of course vaping is the true test...

 

[Big Juicy]

The aroma is...not pleasant...

Poor Boba's.

I don't get the BB allure either BJ. I mean, it's so so to me. It doesn't suck (as Arthur would say). But in the end there are lots of people who love that stuff and if it keeps them off the cigs then they are well-served and BB's deserves lots of credit.

I think what we have a problem with here is the advertising. Once past that argument, BB's has been a very positive contributor to the vape community.

 

[Big Juicy]

OK...this stuff isnt horribe. It has a thick, warmth to it...

I am getting ... chocolate?

What'yuh vaping BJ?

EDIT: Missed your post. Can't believe that package made it to you already. When did I mail that thing? Yesterday? You're 3,000 miles away!!!

 

[Big Juicy]

Dragon's Fire. On inhale I get a warmth/body that is quite unique and pleasant...and something both woodsy and almost nutty. Then as I power vape I get the unmistakeable chocolate. There is a reason many choco vapes fail (I don;t know what it is) and I have never been interested in trying one. This works at first then quickly wears on me. It reads like a dusty, dried out chocolate. Not loving it at all.

If I need a palate cleanser the vape doesn't work for me. I am gargling London right now.

Gotta vape 5mls before you make a final judgement.
