The Rochford Project Black Vine clone?

Me realising I’ve never clicked “compare with original”
That’s handy!

I love it much higher than most seem to use it. It’s so good at 8%+. I’ve tried it from 1-20%
Apparently they make a clear version which is sweet but I never knew till years later.

I’m not sure if the coming soon is an US based option? As of now it’s Canada with their rapey import bs. Maybe @SessionDrummer knows more.

@RicklePick-Eddie1z yes, they’re legit. Good prices, sometimes more expensive shipping, but good none the less.

If you’re talking of having to pay tariff’s, YOUR president Donald J.Trump did that to YOU.

Place blame where it came from. I am Canadian, I don’t pay that, and actually I order from the UK.

It really doesnt need much of a steep honestly, id say 3-5 days its where it at, i mean at around 2 weeks’ish it does kinda settle a little more just as any other mix does, it doesnt really change the way it tastes/vapes much at all though it stays pretty consistent.
& thank you for your kind words, means a lot.

I personally like how low the value of the US dollar is these days. It works well for me on the other side of the world importing stuff for my business :laughing:

If theres anyone in the uk that would like to try the original black vine & the clone/remix, reply to this commenr, i have enough OG black vine to be able to send out 3x 30ml samples (freshly mixed/not 20ml of concentrate), i will also add 2x 30mls of the last 2 versions of the remix i posted above.
So the first 3 people in the uk to reply to this comment (or just tag me) will get - 20ml of the black vine (original) + 30ml of clone/remix + another 30ml clone/remix (2 different versions) all will be freshly mixed the day before i send them at whatever ratio, whatever nic strength & whatever nic type you want (i have freebase, salt-B, salt-S.

Hi, I’ve been following this thread and would be interested in comparing the OG to your last two iterations, if any left. How tremendously generous in time and energy! Please dm me and we can sort postage etc.

I’m talking about in general it cost more to get it imported from Canada than the UK. The blame is wasted energy.

Of course, you’re the first to comment so…
I do have to add though, im not just giving them away for people to vape for fun, i do actually need some feedback on them too, doesnt have to be a professional eliquid review, just a “its close, it needs X” or “its nowhere near the original black vine”, just something like that would suffice, anything that could help give me/us an extra nudge.
As soon as 3 people comment here ill DM for addresses etc, if 3 people havent commented by friday i will try & get them sent out to you/anyone else that has over the weekend.

Ive been following you guys on this and live in the uk.
Id have picked up the juice and tried to help early on but im not a fan of grape, cant stand sweetners, and get a slight off note from the forrest fruit due to being strawberry blind.

Honestly you wouldnt even notice there was grape in this at all & you could leave it out it wont drastically change the recipe. The forest fruit & sweetener is a fair point, but to be fair i think everything else in the recipe kind of covers up the strawberry in forest fruit & pulls more of the darker fruit from it instead? I guess you could still try it just leave out the grape & seeetener? If you’re used to no sweetener then it should still give you an idea on what its like?

The grape thing in this has surprised everybody that has tried it, even grape haters. I’ve never been fond of grape vapes, but I gave this a try because of what reviewers were saying about how this was done and I’m glad I did try it, the stuff blew me away and has been my ADV for over a year, to think that the grape in the description almost put me off!

All I can say about the sweetener is it’s been used to do what sweetener does best when used correctly, especially with fruits to balance acidity, tartness etc and also enhances the perception of taste. Taste is definitely subjective and If you hate it, you hate it, but I personallly couldn’t vape this particular recipe without it, for me it’d be like cooking pasta without adding salt to the water, would be so bland.

FA or CAP for the Passionfruit guys? It seems that most of the recent recipes are using Capella but I can’t seem to find discussion of why it was changed looking over the thread again. I noticed @Dj35 still used FA in his most recent recipe.
Or if they really are that similar, which one would you choose to be the only passionfruit in your stash if you had to?

Edit: sorry I now see @RicklePick-Eddie1z was going to compare the two mixed up side by side. Hope he’s doing okay with his personal stuff.
I also notice he dropped the FA Blackcurrant (ribes) out of his latest version but that wasn’t really discussed either? @SessionDrummer you updated your recipe to reflect that too? Do you know the reasoning?

@RicklePick-Eddie1z said there very similar using the (cap) and (fa) “passion fruit’s” so stick with the (fa) It’s easier to source. Both versions using 1 and 2 different “blackcurrant’s” are both really good but personaly the version with 2 is closer to the OG. I’m vaping the last version with 2 blackcurrant’s now and it’s really good.
You can vape it almost straight away but it’s better after 24 hours when it’s still bright but the flavours have settled a little.
