Savoir-Faire is everywhere!
I've only dripped it in an HH.357. It's not bad and still tastes a lot like unsweetened tea. I don't get the sweet part which is good. I don't want this to be sweet.

I'm dripping it right now after a couple of days steep. I'll keep checking back to it because it isn't unpleasant at all, just not a yummy yet. That might change.

I am pretty sure it has alcohol in it.
If he's as true to form and honest as I think he is, there is no alcohol in it. The peppery flavor (throat hit) is probably some type of actual pepper flavoring in one of the tobacco flavorings he uses. He has stated that Boba's Bounty doesn't contain alcohol.

Give it a while to blend, 2-3 weeks. It changes. It was okay for me fresh, better over time, still good after a month. It's a deep, interesting, complex vape.

It is a very complex flavor right out of the bottle. I do enjoy it, I just don't dig the punch to the throat I am getting from it. Again this is day one and I only took one sample. I just hope it mellows out.

I kinda like that punch...lol

Still, me and the Gorilla Juice are getting along better than the Boba's at the moment.

Just got my first bottle today (30ml @ 24mg). Put some in an IGO-L and loving it. Put some in a Russian 91% and liking it a lot. I think this is the first juice that I've noticed such a drastic difference between these two devices.

At this stage, it reminds me quite a bit of HHV's Sludge at ~3 weeks. I think I'll have to order more since I suspect I won't be able to keep the bottle long enough to steep. Or maybe I'll just hit "Proceed to Checkout" on my Amazon shopping cart - it has an ultrasonic cleaner just waiting for me.

Or both! Yep. That's what I'll do.

I think one of my first comments here on Bobas was that it was vapable but not the life changing experience it's made out to be.
This was a few days after getting my first 30ml bottle. Then I let it steep for a while, checking every so often and it was still meh. Then one day it just happened, now it's been my ADV for awhile. I'm down to about 130ml...AVE needs to have another sale soon!! ...or I'ma have to actually pay full price >.<

I sure agree with all the comments about "fresh" Bobas. I ordered a small bottle and was less than impressed when I first vaped it, straight out of the mailbox. After about a week though I really loved it and just got my second shipment yesterday of two 30ml bottles. It's now one of those juices that I will never be without, at least if I can help it. There are a couple of Zeus Juice flavors that I will also always have on hand. I've got 3 shipments on the way (Fast Tech, Deejstuff and more Zeus Juice). I can hardly wait! The world of vaping is WAY more fun than analogs!

I don't love it, but the complexity is what keeps me ordering it. Fresh, it has a very strong tea feel, and I can definitely tell it is a tobacco flavor. Plus, the nicotine feels twice as potent fresh. After steeping, it has several elements to it, and some may be a little stronger throughout the day. There's a definite cocoa. Other flavors noticeable are nuts like pecan and macadamia, some floral aspect, and the tea flavor is still there, but not nearly as strong.. there does seem to be a touch of honey too..and I can't think of anything else.

Edit no comparisons..and it feels dry, compared to most things I use.

Bobas is primarily a tobacco juice. Its tobacco base is far removed from the grassy, floral, herbal tasting type, but rather a deeper, darker, more robust and heavier cured type of tobacco. Although, as with most tobaccos, it is a bit gamey... but with this juice, it's a good gaminess. On top of that you've got a strong grain, cereal type of flavor. When I first tried it, I got the impression of sour mash sans the alchohol. With the rich tobacco, the gaminess, and the grain/cereal/mash notes, one gets the sense of an adult type of flavor... meaning one that the youngins wouldn't appreciate. Then on the finish, you get the delightful sweetness of caramel with maybe just a hint of hazelnut.

It's a complex juice, and I find it highly rewarding to vape.

Have you guys ever read cigar reviews? They read like that... a hint of this, with a slight that on the finish...

I guess I'm too simple? I don't have that kind of palate. LOL

Sent using my typewriter

Sure, I've read plenty. I've smoked and enjoyed plenty a cigar... still do once in a blue moon. I used to love all the descriptive terms they used to describe the flavor of cigars. I can kind of relate to you, as my palate is nothing near that of a conniseur's. To this day, I've never been able to discern what the hell they meant when they'd describe a cigar having coffee notes. I've detected many different nuances of cigars, and never once could I detect coffee. Leather maybe, but coffee??? :) Vape on.

AV is going to be having a 25% off sale on Bobas pretty soon and I plan to try it for the first time then. In the meantime, I've got some El Kamino in the mail on its way. This will be the first time in several months that I've strayed from my main vendor. He is currently working on a couple new flavors including a new tobacco one. Most of the time I am more than content to vape his offerings but I've got a craving for a more dramatic, complex and bold tobacco lately. I even went as far as to pick up one of my husband's little cigars and smoke it a couple weeks ago. I think I also will pick up some Grumpy's Hooch and see what that's like while I'm on this bend lol
