July Monthly Clone Challenge

submitted about 7 years ago by ID10-TWinner of the 2nd DIYorDIE World Mixing Championship

Howdy Mixers!

Here go again. /u/oddkode is the MVP of the June Challenge and will be contacted about a small token of appreciation.

The purpose behind this monthly clone challenge is always to gather the community behind an effort to clone just one juice.

The subject of this month's challenge is.... drumroll please...

#Boba's Bounty

This can of worms was opened by /u/nox_mani, who said,

> With the re-release of Boba's Bounty, I'm wondering if anyone has started work on trying to clone it again. > > I recently ordered a bottle of it and comparing the flavor to the recipe attempts people made previously, they seem like they might be quite a bit off. I definitely notice an oatmeal raisin cookie flavor more so than anything else with it, especially the raisin aspect. > > More so than a direct copy, I think I'd be interested in some sort of oatmeal raisin cookie flavor (minus the tobacco) that was inspired by Boba's. I actually just ordered some FLV Oatmeal Raisin to experiment with. >

Don't forget to make use of the valuable resources in this subreddit, including flavor reviews and flavor of the week posts.

Please respond with recipes for Boba's Bounty (hahaha), ideas about how to start an attempt to clone that flavor, your own delicious oatmeal raisin cookie tobacco-ish type thing (I guess) recipe or thoughts about such recipes, general thoughts about having a monthly clone challenge, hate mail, love letters, lewd artwork, dirty limericks, comments, questions, concerns, anything remotely on topic. Thank you. Love you all.

Dear Boba's Bounty,

Hundreds have tried to find you since you went on your pilgrimiage, thousands of forum pages dedicated to your essence white buffalo of a recipe. Long I have pondered your return, that I spent outrageous amount for a small taste, lo and behold it was bitter and sweet. Your monkey cousin, Gorilla Juice, could not fill the void that your staining juice left on my coils. You returned, brought back into this world that made your eyes open, the Aliens who visioned you.

I don't think you truly returned, your glory now leaves vapors of today, with their regulated devices, and loopity-doopity Clapton coils, a language that you now find unfamiliar. Your presence leaves them confused and confident that they will clone you.

For that, I say, Nay, in my mind, you are truly gone and I will say my goodbyes. Thank you for the memories.

Signed,

DarkJester89

on a side note, it's an everlasting flavor change, as with most tobacco flavors, coconut, chocolate, raisin/plum, and cinnamon, oatmeal raisin, not just a oatmeal raisin by itself.

..since we are on the topic of 2014 long-sought, we should try to clone Heather's Heavenly Vapes too, for shit's and giggles lmao

•Black Cigar ( H ) 4%

•Tuscan Reserve ( EcX ) 4%

•Almond Amaretto ( TFA ) 4%

•Graham Cracker ( TFA ) 4%

•Coconut ( TFA ) 1%

•Cinnamon ( FA )1%

•TA ( PG ) 1%

•ACV 1%.

This recipe has been floating around forever, it was one of the first ones I tried like 4 years ago. The Black Cigar is FE or VZ-SC (same thing), and the Tuscan Reserve is FA.

4% Tuscan Reserve is objectively foul. I still occasionally taste it in my nightmares. I noobishly kept it around for like a year, waiting for the magic of steeping to turn it into something palatable, and it just never happened. Now I have trust issues.

I use it for a lot of tobacco recipes, (menthol cig but personal preferences/objectively.) I wouldn't say its noobish to use at 4% lmao, I mix it with other tobaccos though

I'm guessing the old abbreviations for Hangsen and Ecigexpress's house flavor?

Is there a company that does this, clones ejuice? I have a juice I would like to know the recipe to making it. Its not a rip off its something someone gave me and he can't remember what it was. I have a small bit of it, obviously, for reference.

So...

2% FLV Oatmeal Raisin
1.25% FLV Connecticut Shade

Almost certainly isn't the original recipe, but probably close enough to what it supposedly tasted like.

I don’t reckon that’ll be very close, or even very good. .3% FLV Oatmeal Raisin gave me dog food vibes.

I got down to 0.05% FLV oatmeal raisin in my cookie recipe I was working on and it was still too strong. I basically gave up on the flavor for now.

Just thinking oatmeal raisin makes me want to vomit. So I understand, mostly.

That matches the description... oatmeal raisin cookies are an abomination. PB Chocolate Chip (or oatmeal chocolate chip) is what cookies should be.

I've have good food version of orc, and really bad ones. Gotta find that awesome grandma to bake it just right, pull it out of the oven and give it to you, but forgot to tell you that that she just pulled it out of the oven. lmao
