I used to smoke cloves back in my high school days. Id love to vape a recipe using clove that replicates a "Djarum Select" if I'm not mistaken. Hard to remember which ones they were back in 1996-1999 time frame, just remember Djarum on the thin wide box
Like one of these?

Clovert Operative is awesome. I even have a bottle I literally just finished I keep at a much higher mg nic and drip a little on my coils for right after work every day to zing up whatever I’m hitting. It’s essence of clove without the spicy burn.
Klove by cheebs I never really liked. It’s off balance and needs tweaking ime unless, and this is a big unless, you really want a mouthful of clove. Even then, I’d argue you could seriously improve your experience with a few tweaks.
That last one is new to me. I’m not so sure RB can manage all the mod notes needed to offset that much arabian and clove. Cap SS in that mix is just plain laziness imo.
FLV Clove is the best flavor I’ve tried for authentic clove. Used brilliantly in Kinderground’s dune recipe
Not an entry. I don’t know what a clove is but I remember some two decades ago a very distinct smell from a person from Indonesia IIRC smoking a clove cigarette. It was a very sweet kind of smell unlike the tobacco smell from a traditional cigarette
TPA Clove accurate and is my favorite for actual use in mixing FA clove is like the candy clove in a spiced jelly bean or gumdrop assortment FLV is potent and accurate but I feel like I’m doing too much math to get it to be the TPA usefulness. The FLV doesn’t really steep the same and turns from a authentic clove to something else tannic. I use TPA in my Cloved Apple Cider recipe which is my ADV. Just never the same with FLV after steeping
Clove? I remember smoking a few of them. Usually I was pretty drunk by then. I remember them being really heavy, thick and kind a hard to smoke. This will be an interesting show. I hope there is time for recipes. It'll be interesting to see what you all come up with. Anise may pair up well with clove.
