Just placed my first order for Authentic Boba's Bounty

[R. Scott Kennan]

I'm excited. I also got some menthol drops in case I need them. I have a feeling this juice will be the one that lets me fully transition off of cigarettes.

I'm using Evod tanks for now- is there anything I need to do or know? I've only vaped a 50/50 PG/VG, so I'm a bit nervous that the VG won't have enough flavor, or might have wicking issues.

I have a *little* extra cash, so I can pick up a new tank at my local store if I need to.

Edit: It's definitely the real deal, I got it from AVE. Just wanted to head that debate off right away.

You won't have flavor issues. That's for sure. You may have wicking issues but I get it to work just fine in a protank 2 and protank minis.

 

[R. Scott Kennan]

Thanks. Should I take some wicks out before trying it in an EVOD?

 

[Just Me]

It's in one of my evods with no problems.

BB will develop more complex flavors over time if you don't use it all up right away. Enjoy.

 

[Kirkwood]

I wouldn't take out any flavor wicks until you see how it's going to vape.

I would recommend letting the boba's breathe for a couple weeks at least. I don't like it that much when it's fresh from the mail.

Give it a taste test after each week, and remember to give it a shake everyday.

You can also use a hot water bath to age it a bit quicker.

I use my BB in an Evod all day everyday with zero problems. I might change the wicks out every other week just because. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I have let at least 10 people try it, only one didn't care for it and most of the others ordered their own. I even purchased the Gorilla Juice in my second order. People say it Is BB with banana flavor. I personally get the banana flavor but not the BB in it. It is very good in its own right.

 

[R. Scott Kennan]

I shouldn't have any problems with using it all up too quickly, I bought 100 ml. I know that's a bit ridiculous since I don't know for sure that I'll like it, but I took a gamble.

 

[Optimo114]

I just received my first order of BB and GJ last night. I had to try it because of how many people talk about it. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it if I didn't have it. I just put it in my closet to steep for a couple of weeks before I try it again.

I usually get all of my juice from VCV and BB tasted a lot like their Campfire juice ( Smores ) and GJ tasted like their Monkey Business ( Chocolate Banana ) so the taste was a little familiar. That was just my first impression of the two.

I also noticed quite the throat hit from BB and GJ compared to any other VG juice I use. Makes me think there is some PG in them

I just ordered my first BB too, max bottle size, 100ml. I am almost out of juice so I had to do something. Also ordered from VapeOholic. I am a cloud chaser.

 

[BillyMac814]

I got my (real) BB in a few days ago and of course I had to try it. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either, I really couldn't feel any throat hit at all. I just left the lid off for a while and set it in a drawer hoping it'll get better. This is my first non menthol liquid which may be why I don't feel the TH.

I too ordered menthol drops with mine, has anyone added menthol to it? It's a weird flavor and I can't quite imagine if menthol would go well with it or not. I'll probably give it a shot if I still don't like it after a while. I think if it had a better TH I'd like it better. It's 12mg.

I didn't care for BB when I first tried it. I actually preferred Dorky Stud from Vapetrik and Tribeca from Halo for my 'tobacco' juices.

But then I tried it again, and it was alright, so I bought a 30ml and vaped around 5ml and set it aside.

When I bought my VMOD XL, I thought I'd give it another go - and wow. The complexity of the juice really came through, and now BB is one of two juices I vape all the time. (Other is hawk sauce when I want a fruity vape)

I'm not sure I would recommend anyone buy 100ml of a juice they have never tried, but even if you don't really like it, you could always sell it in the classifieds.

I'm not sure I would add any menthol to it. I personally would buy it straight and then you can add a couple of drops of your own menthol to a few mls to see if it's going to work for you.

 

[tricci]

Let the 100ml bottle steep for a month. Don't try it when you first get it. Leave the cap off for 24 hours. The cap it and shake it once a day for a month, then enjoy.

The menthol came separately. I figured it would be good to have on hand for when I start mixing my own juices anyway.

Unfortunately, I can't do that this time around. I have a limited nicotine budget to keep my wife happy, and that's all I'll have for the next month aside from a few liquids I got locally. If I even moderately like it though, I'll buy an extra one to steep next time.

Unless I outright hated it (which I doubt), anything would be better than the first juice I started with. It's supposed to be a Marlboro flavor, but I can't taste anything in it. I also have a Dekang 3&5 style flavor that I actually like when I can taste it. I find that the more I vape it, and if I drink a lot of tea throughout the day I can't taste anything from it for a while. I use a menthol flavor I like to get me past those times.

I only have a few bottles of those though, so most of the month I'll have to vape Boba's Bounty whether I like it or not.

Don't worry about steeping if you can't. I enjoy fresh boba's. It has a strong black tea taste, and it evolves into something even better.

The whole thing with using ratios to figure out wicking is kinda bs. Boba's is 100% vg, but I have thicker 50/50 liquids. The really sweet and/or dark flavors are the real identifier in delivery method. AVE's english toffee is 100%vg, and it won't work with anything outside of a dripper. It destroyed a non-punched carto before i really had time to vape it. I'd feel fine using boba's in a single punched carto.

 

[HDVaper]

I vaping some right now!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!

Beautiful. I love black tea, and drink it constantly.

So I got the email that my package shipped today, however, when I go to track it (I've tried several times), the USPS site says it's "Not Found", with the following message:

Delivery status information is not available for your item via this web site.
A return receipt after mailing may be available through your local Post Office.

Is this a common issue with mail order juices, or AVE in particular, or just my bad luck? I sent an email to AVE, but haven't heard back yet. I know they're busy over there.

I just received my Boba's, Gorilla Juice, and Sweet Tart today.

The Boba's tastes a lot like tea but isn't bad. It will be interesting to see what it tastes like in a week. The Gorilla Juice is pretty darned good, though. Haven't tried the Sweet Tart but I imagine it will taste like Sweet Tart....lol


I don't think there was updated tracking on my order, either, so it will likely just get there when it gets there.
