Yeah, and that's where the similarities end. Fans of BB may be a little better off with Gold from NLV. Hell, maybe even Harbor Night.
I remember that thread. I ordered a single bottle back in 2010, never ordered again. Why? To complex at the time for my taste buds, I was vaping Dekang at the time and the switch was drastic. Enter the end of 2011, came across BB from a friend, and boom! love the stuff. Now this would be after trying many other US made ejuice vendors.
The thread gives us no answers, just more questions. Is is possible that AVE modifies his BB ever so slightly? I know that's a bit of a stretch, but the gambit of described flavours is crazy. Hazelnut? Cherry? Baby Diapers? (what's that? powder?) so many distinct flavors, that I've never encountered.
The one that as always spark my attention as been Dill Pickle...I never tasted that in any vape, and perhaps that's the one very distinct ingredient (acid) that makes the others change from user to user. So, #7 suggests vinegar...now, combined with honey, is an ancient elixir believed to be started in China and very pleasant to drink.

I hear you, or rather, I read you clearly. That said, Boba's just so happens to be a juice that many, MANY people have vaped. What I mean is, most "mystery" juices have not the following that Boba's has; thus, most other juices will not have as many crazy "reports" due to fewer vapers having tried it. I have seen plenty of juices that are not "normal" flavors that get wild associations (ask Smooth Criminal). I understand that Boba's takes the cake with wild associations, but I firmly believe that people try so damned hard to pick up something that nobody else is tasting--likely so they can crack the code--that most of their "findings" are just examples people reaching (though some of it is totally understandable).
For me, Boba's tastes like a honey boba flavor (tapioca pearls) and tobacco. The tobacco is what I believe to be a steam distilled tobacco much like that used in Darth Vaper's extracted tobaccos. It takes a while to come through, i.e., steeping, (just like DV's tobaccos), but its there. A lot of people don't believe that there is tobacco in Boba's, or that it is artificial if it is there. I beg to differ. Not only do I believe that it is in there (because I taste it), but I believe that it is a natural tobacco.
I vape a myriad of tobaccos and, after awhile, tasting tobacco in a juice becomes second nature (if it's in there): tobacco absolute, M-Type (gross), lab tobaccos, steam distilled tobacco (almost like an absolute or essential oil, but not quite--SD produces more of a "essential water" as opposed to oil, though a trace of oil will be there), macerated tobacco (tobacco leaves soaked in PG or PG/VG), alcohol extracted tobacco, carbon dioxide extracted tobacco and various combinations of all of those. Aside from TA1, M-Type or synthetic tobaccos, natural tobacco is never going to be able to yield a true zero nic juice because some nic will remain from the extraction. Boba's (or "any" of his tobaccos) is not offered in zero nic because one of the ingredients contains nicotine2 (read). Is it graham cracker? LOL. Doubtful.
1As to why TA supposedly does not carry nicotine is still just out of the grasp of my research. I am still trying to find out why.
2 The fact that Ben won't sell any of his tobaccos as zero nic--in all likelihood the nicotine content of his tobaccos without added nicotine would be extremely low--is an example of how straight-up the guy is.

In my quest for something good since ave is down, I have tried a few new vendors so far nothing has compared to bobas in taste , but i will say Kick bass vapor has some good 555 and ry4. Not like ave but smooth and able to vape all day.
But grumpys' hootch to me is unvapeable. Im letting it steep and hoping for the best. Nothing at all like bobas.
Got some oorah and capt.ron from indigo coming today. I have read good things about this vendor but you never know till you taste it.
Got some stuff from prime vaping that was good too. I am glad i am trying new juice so i won't have to be dependent on ave so much
Wow i miss my bobas . I just squeezed my last bobas and gj out of all my droppers a fewweeks ago and have been sad since.

quick update on the Indigo right out of the mailmans hands into the atti and this stuff is really good, not bobas but they have simalarities. I'm liking it. I also heard they have a mix of oorah and capt ron so i dripped a little of both in the attie and fantastic!! This may be it!! The substitute. Also the mailman brought another present which is a reo grand but I didn't order the 18650 till the next day so now I wait and just look at its beauty. It sure is built nice
Sorry if this is out of place but it's been mentioned here, where can I find some Grumpy's Hooch? Their website is down and I can't seem to find it anywhere else. Maybe someday i'll get to try Boba's Bounty, but I don't get up very early so I doubt that'll happen anytime soon.
SORRY! I had to close down all web sites until this thread of BB is done!
