I really want to like these, so trying not to screw it up. My husband is sort of relying on me to get it right since he's been working 24/7 and all our current flavors are getting "old" or hurting (Atomic fireball). When I told him about Boba's and Gorilla juice he just said "ok, order it" like meh, whatever. So hoping to knock his socks off with one or both of these, he's missing analogs more than me. Must have good daily vape, and he expressed interest in a tobacco one so here's hoping.

Plus, I'm pretty tired of fruity ones and don't like cinnamon. Been using caramel macchiato as a daily vape, and I think I have a problem seeing as how I can smell it on my clothes from my hoodie to my underwear. I don't want to trade one stench for another.

1. We have ego-t's. Are these better in a Stardust or the stock tanks?

2. We use 24mg currently. I hear juices taste better at a lower nic content. Should I do 18 or lower for these? If nic is a problem we can have a higher level one in another tank. More concerned about flavor than nic fiending for now.

I'm open to carto/atty suggestions. I have no idea what the functionality of a drip tip is, but donotwant if it's as messy as it sounds. I don't plan on changing anything else as of yet, because I have my heart set on a provari but just paid for summer camp for 2 kids so it will have to wait since I don't do credit cards!


Any guidance here would be appreciated!

I'm new to the game, and I read so much about Boba's and Gorilla, that I just had to order some. They are really thick (pure VG), and they taste just fine. I'm really picky about juice, and they were OK. I'm still not sure why they've obtained such legendary status. But one thing I've discovered is that tastes vary enormously. What makes one person rave, makes another person puke.

So far in my 43-day vaping life, I've found only one juice that truly knocked my socks off: Dueling Banjos, from High Desert. One thing that turns me off is smell. This one smells great out of the bottle. And the taste is just so mellow and consistently delish. It's a carmel/maple/honey thing. But not overly sweet, just tasty.

Both of my orders have been for 12mg nic, 60/40 pg/vg. I'm thinking I'll up to 18mg next time for a bit more TH.

If your husband is really missing analogs give Alien Vision C&D a try it's the closest thing to a true tobacco I have tried. I've been vaping for over 4 years now and Alien Vision has been my exclusive juice vendor for past 1 1/2. Good look to you and your husband. Stay strong and keep on vaping.

Thanks you guys, I won't give up on AVE. I like everything I've read about them and sure I'll find something good. I'll def try Boba's, GJ, and C&D.

Personally I'm excited to try some of Ms T's creations, but I saw the thread regarding her son and now I just hope she gets some rest before getting back to it! Very glad to hear he's doing better.

Bobas is a strange one.

Loved it, hated it and back to loving it again after a month layoff.

Read similar stories from other posters but most like it. I think the reason why is that you can rarely put your finger on what exactly you are tasting other than it is good.

Gorilla Juice has been a face since first vape. If you add Bounty Hunter you have my three firm go to juices at the moment.

I'm off Boba's for the moment, I used to really like it but it's lost its appeal to me. Gorilla Juice is still a juice I vape on a regular basis. I think both juices are well worth a try, the only cartomizers I've found that handle the thick VG juice really well are the Smoktek single coil 1.7 ohm (sometimes called rejuvenators or similar).

Been vaping for two years and finally got some bb. The only tobacco flavor I love. Coworkers who still smoke analogs said they would switch to that flavor as it resembles real tobacco. I describe it as tobacco with honey and after hints of chocolate.

I still love the fruit flavors but bb is my daily driver since I got it.

For tobacco juices, I personally think Backwoods Brew offers the best selection of the best flavor and highest quality juices. Casablanca is definitely one of my all day vapes, and was the one that got me to put down the analogs for good. Boba's is another one of my all day vapes too though. I will say, when I first got it, I did not like it at all! I couldn't figure out what it tasted like, and I just did not like it. Given how many positive reviews there were though, I went back to it 2 weeks later and absolutely loved it! Since then its been one of my all day vapes...up there with my other Backwoods Brew tobacco juices. (Primarily Casablanca and Melonbacko)....but he has several other tobacco flavors that I haven't tried, but people on the forum really seem to love.
