Ok so I liked Bobas bounty so much I had to try the Gorilla juice. My favorite juices range from Vaperite to Halo. alien Visions is becoming a favorite.

Equipment: Stock Riva 510 (3.7v) with Boge LR 2.0 ohm Cartomizer

FLAVOR:
The best I could describe this would be...
If you use Bobas Bounty as a refference of what AV produces, picture a similar product with a banana flavor. Not too sweet but it is sweet. Not a candy flavor though. It is nice and warm. Some similar qualities to Bobas Bounty but definately a creature of it's own. Like if you order an italian sub and a roast beef sub from the same sub shop, similar qualities but totaly different subs.

I really like Gorilla juice. It could totally be an all day vape.

THROAT HIT:
I ordered this in 12mg and this has GREAT throat hit. More than most 12mg liquids would have. I usualy vape pg/vg 70/30 to 50/50 but this has TH as if it was 70%pg 30%vg or better. I would guess it was 18-24mg based on TH alone.

Vapor:
Doesn't get any better than Alien Visions for vapor production. At least the 2 I've tried. PLUMES of vapor!!!

Conclusion:
Gorilla Juice goes in my "must have" list!!!

Alien Visions: I came for the Boba's..I'm staying for the Boba's and the GJ. Completely agree with OP. I've found my 2 all day vapes finally..now if I can find an atomizer/clearomizer/fluxomizer brand that's reliable, I shall vape happily unto death on my Chuck.

FWIW, I've had by far the best luck with a SR Joye 510 atty and clear tank carts (like these), modded with blue foam in place of the wicking material. Have yet to try the Boge cartos, but they have a reputation for reliability and consistency so they're next on my list.

It's not realistic in the sense that it doesn't taste like a fresh banana (to me). But it doesn't taste "fake" either. If you've ever had freshly baked banana bread, that's what it tastes like to me. The thing that impressed me most was the depth of the flavor. Imagine pulling a loaf out of the oven and the room fills with that smell. Then you take a bite while it's still warm and the flavor just completely coats your mouth. That's the best description I can give.

ive always wanted to try GJ but have been to afraid it will taste like fake banana that i have never ordered it. i do love Bobas Bounty though. i just hate that fake banana taste. like the Laffy Taffy banana flavor. is that the same banana flavor in GJ or is it more realistic?

I love me some GJ but I think the flav is bobas with laffy taffy banana in it.

Thanks, good to hear it as I just ordered 4 of them! I'll definitely give the blue foam a shot as I've had zero luck with the normal polyfill.

I've been about 75% successful with the Boge atomizers. Just ever so often one will crap out at the most inopportune moment ever.

I was pretty happy with the ce2's I bought awhile back...for about two weeks, then one completely fell apart on Chuck and another started leaking while it was just sitting there.

Month's ago I ordered both Boba's and GJ (18 mils ea) and when I got down to 2-3 mils I panicked and mixed em together to make it till more came. Not bad together or by themselves. No GJ doesn't taste fake it's very tastey. But to really experience these flavors I believe you have to drip that stuff directly into the atty, or a carto at the very least. The less there is between me and VG heaven the better.

Vaping some Gorilla Juice (12mg) on a dual coil carto on my eGo 1000 mAh battery. Extremely yummy.

I taste (and smell) the tobacco first, and it's a nice mellow tobacco flavor. TH is good (but these cartos help with that), and the vapor production is amazing.

I've been looking for a cheaper alternative to the Intellicig products in 100% VG, and this is definitely one I would order again.

The banana is very subtle, most noticable on the exhale. Does not taste like the banana runt candies. I've seen other reviews describe it as tasting more like ripe plantains - I think that's an accurate description. It's also not overly sweet - which kicks it into the "all day vape" category for me. The liquid itself is not as thick as some of the 100% VG juices I've tried, doesn't seem like it would be an atty killer.

Would be a nice vape enjoyed with a cup of coffee, or a good craft beer.
