Can't help you out.. yet.. I should get my juices tomorrow though, and I'll review them as good as I can.
These are the flavors I got:
Boba's Bounty (Looks like this is their most popular?!)
Very Berry Blueberry
Strawberry Cooler
Gamel
Since they're 100%VG and I use a tank, I will add 1 drop of distilled water to my cartridge. (hopefully it won't mess with the flavor). Anyways, I'll review once I get them tomorrow.

I LOVE the strawberry, been my all time favorite, next is caramel, but that's just me... not much into tobacco flavors. Unless they have changed since my last order a few months ago, all the flavors I've tried from AVE have been A+, I just like some more than others.
I'm a Boba's fan, though with my latest order I've been using it to enhance other flavors. For some reason it isn't tasting the way it used to, or maybe I've lost my mind. The 555 really impressed me. If Boba's is sort of a tobacco with peanut butter and chocolate (my current impression), 555 is a lighter version that seems more like an actual tobacco. When I mix the Boba's down, I'm actually going for a 555esque sort of flavor.
Gamel is good if you're into the Dekang Desert Ship thing (ashy real cigarette taste). They're quite similar, but I think the Gamel is more intense... it took the DS several months of steeping to catch up.
The Blend 4 hasn't been doing it for me. It actually reminds me of BWB's 555, which has a sharp and unusual flavor that I in no way associate with tobacco. This weird flavor is much more subdued in Blend 4, however.
The chai is pretty good. As a reviewer on ECF said, it concentrates more on the spice and to a lesser extent tea of a chai than the creamier components. My one complaint is that it's super dry. It could use some sweetness and a creamy note, though I guess the lack thereof is good if you're trying to avoid diacetyl. I think it mixes well with Top Vapor's chai, which is sweeter and less "real."
The Caramel Kicker is, as far as I can tell, more of a concentrate than an actual flavor. Sort of an old-fashioned, deep caramel. A couple of drops per 3 ml goes a long way.

Thanks for the responses, this is very helpful - tea, your post is especially helpful, as you compared some juices that I am familiar with. I do like the BWB 555, but also note that it has something unusual about it - which I occasionally crave - but would prefer something more subdues, so maybe AV's Blend 4 would do it for me.
The closest I've had to an ashy cigarette experience is BWB's RY4, but then I haven't tried any of the Dekang stuff, so I can't compare - could be interesting, though...

AVE's Flue Cured is without a doubt my favorite tobacco flavor. Mellow tobacco, very slightly sweet, not overpowering. I ordered a sample in 24mg and just ordered more yesterday. Also tried the C&D. Very bland.
Got my shipment in, but as it worked out I've been stuck vaping Boba's Bounty... It's amazingly awesome. Hard to believe I will ever find anything better than BB. Recommend to everyone..
I'm emptying my tank cartridge as we speak and will try the Strawberry next.
Edit: Vaping Strawberry Cooler right now, and it's just ok. Nothing Special. Has a mellow light taste to it, but nothing overpowering. There is however a weird aftertaste which I can't figure out..spice?... anyways, doesn't compare to Boba's Bounty.
Edit #2: So as mentioned, I didn't like the Strawberry, so I filled a new tank with Gamel (Camel?!) and its a good tobacco juice. I smoked Camel Lights, and the similarities are def. there. Good for tobacco juice.
Edit #3: This morning I filled a tank with the Very Blueberry, and it's pretty good. Tastes kinda like Blueberry Pie or something in that direction. Again a mellow flavor. IMO better than the Strawberry.

i ordered that same selection from them plus blueberry crumble. In addition to Boba's (which is part of my regular rotation) I really enjoyed the blueberry, and the flue cured. I was a little disappointed in the Blend 4, but its getting more to my liking as it ages. I didn't care for the english toffee or the 555. Not saying they are bad, just not to my liking is all. As always YMMV
Havana Gold (That's my every day go to juice) Also good with a splash of Strawberry. 
With the English Toffee, I am basically looking for some kind of methodone to hold me over until Don gets some more Malty Toffee in stock...I'm also trying KBV's candy bar with similar hopes...but that may be a high expectation from either...

I will definitely order a sample of the Havana in my next order - I have some Vaperite Strawberry around I could add a splash from...
Get ready to put a big order in for Boba's....my favorite everyday vape. I enjoy most of the tobacco juices from AV, and the few non-tobacco juices I've tried have overpowered my atty, so I tend to steer clear. I am, however, thinking about trying the Chai Tea...probably get it with my next order.
Great juices at AV, without a doubt!

Same here, the BlueBerry is soo thick it barely moves in my tank cartridge LOL.. Same with the Strawberry even though it's a little less thick..
Just placed a bigger order for Boba's Bounty..
Nice! Now I'm really looking forward to these. This is a big week of samples for me - I'm also trying some new BWB's, and firsts from KBV and VaporBomb...hopefully I'll have some new favorites before the week is over.
Just remember, Boba's is very unique. If at first you don't like it, keep at it. It can be an acquired taste. It was for me, I hated it the first few times I vaped it.
hey guys you seem pretty knowladgble about bens juice over at ave. anyways i wanna first +10 him for doubling my order for being number 5000 woot!!!! so i ended up with 4 bottles of bobas and 2 of his flue cured. my question is how long does the flue cured have to steep i mean i have been trying it on and off for a little over a week now with the very first day i left the cap off for an hour and the capped it and let it sit. For some reason all i can taste when i vape it is a burnt atomizer taste and ive tried putting less drops more drops (even flooded the sucker) let it sit... im currently in the middle of putting it in a 808 carto IMO gives great flavor. is it a long steep time or is it just me?
also btw... been vaping bobas 3 days straight its too good to put down.

After hearing so many people rave about BB I just had to try some out. My birthday is this week afteralll so its certianly time for a treat. I got the sampler pack of 5. BB, C&D, Flue cured, Blend 4, and blueberry crumble. My two favorites so far have been Halo freedom and FSUSA Wyatt Earp. Do any of the AVE-juices compare to those two?
I absolutely love the Blend 4.... I like to add a drop of TV AC to it, or menthol or just vape it plain. To me, it has a wonderful, "different" taste to it. My husband is really into the Boba's, even though it makes him cough a lot after using it for a while (he's pressing through anyway-ha!).
English Toffee is REALLY good for the first couple of vapes, but it seems to take on a burnt taste to me after that. As for the watermelon and cravenloupe - blech! Tastes like medicine in my opinion.
