My thinking is always that if a culture has come to love a cuisine, it's because its phenomenal.

I spend/spent most of my time in a kitchen. That thought is logical. However Food is not logical. Culture is by far not logical. Just to prove this... according to your thoughts... McDonalds is edible platinum.

I got to try Boba's for the first time recently. For me the hype makes sense.. I am in love with the stuff.

Tastes like fine pipe tobacco with a hint of dark maple syrup

I am now afflicted with the Boba curse.. until I happen upon something even tastier that is actually buyable without having to jump through fricken hoops.

All I taste with Bobas is RAISIN.......steeped 2 weeks and just RAISIN......another week and nothing but RAISIN.......I hate RAISIN.......I am letting mine steep for another 5 years......maybe I won't taste .......RAISIN! um...so what's the point?

my thoughts exactly

i'm liking PG Hype though, will reorder

Wow...everything is going to be OK. This may not be the juice for you...

I love Boba's Bounty. Graham cracker goodness, not a hint of raisin when I vape it.

I really want to try and review Boba's and Gorilla. 1. they are super hype. 2. Some people love them some people hate them. We all have different vape pallets. So I think it's worth a try. 3. I am not looking for any juice to blow me away. I get curious. And I love to try new flavors. And I love doing reviews. Which apparently people seem to like. :) Thank you all who watch and dig them.

Sure but would any culture proudly put forth McDonalds as representative of its cuisine. I know we do by default (because McD is so aggressive with worldwide franchises), but won't most Americans admit to being embarrassed by that trash? I know I am.

I'm now a BB convert, but other liquids are better. It's too sweet for an ADV (and yes I still love it in the way I love a nice dessert but don't want dessert all day). Try Ahlusions.
 
I feel ya. I got a bottle and was sooo excited! But...meh. Didn't like it at all at first. After 3 weeks of sitting on my dresser, it got ok. Just ok. I've had SO much better, from many diff vendors. Didn't live up to the hype at all in my humble opinion. I've had a 30 ml bottle for 6-7 weeks, and it's still a quarter full. Meh.....

Well after 6 months of Vapeing I finally got in an order for BB and GJ 10 days ago, I've ordered from ave before and got my package np love the 555 and Hype.

I'm hoping to recieve my BB and GJ tomorrow or the next day. Crossing fingers it makes it across the border. If not I'll move on, never knowing if I'll like them, but that's ok I have plenty of Hype and 555.

I had to jump on the bandwagon. I started "stalking" the AVE website, anxiously awaiting the day they had Boba's Bounty in-stock again. Then I set my alarm for 10:45am EDT, so I could get a cup of coffee, turn on my laptop, and transfer my "wish list" to my "shopping cart" at exactly 11:00. Success! I did a happy dance. Then, the panic set in. What if I'm disappointed? What if I built this up so big in my mind, only to be disappointed when the bottle came? What if I discovered I didn't like tobacco flavors, and it tasted like poo? What would I tell my bf or my vaping friends at work who knew of my quest and were eagerly waiting to vape BB vicariously through me? How would I face my ECF friends who referred to this elusive elixir as "heavenly," "crack," and (gasp!) their one and only ADV? It arrived a mere 3 days after I ordered. I wasn't sure if I was ready. I had planned on it steeping a bit more through the long, drawn-out shipping process I'd been reading about, but here it was before me. It taunted me. I put the bottle through a quick, hot-water-in-a-coffee-cup steep and let it cool down to room temperature before filling my brand new Nova I'd been saving for just this occasion. I gave it a minute or ten to wick and settle, and then I took a deep breath. I hit the button, inhaled deeply, and...
Meh.
Non-descript. Slightly bitter tobacco. No sweetness, no graham cracker, raisin, vanilla, or any of the other flavors BB zealots swear is in there. Not much of a flavor at all. Did they forget to add the yummy? Did I somehow manage to order the Alien Vapor knockoff instead of the real BB? Is there something wrong with ME? I wouldn't be deterred this easily. I put it aside for a few hours, then went back to it later that evening. Hmmm... I tasted a little something more. There was something coming through. The vapor production was very satisfying. I played with it. I swished the vapor around in my mouth, blew smoke rings, and enveloped my own head in a cloud of BB. I still wasn't getting all the excitement over the flavor, but I was having a blast. I entertained the thought of adding a little honey or blueberry to give my fun-clouds a better flavor, but I resisted. I was afraid the vapor police would find me and put me in ECF jail for abusing the golden liquid orgasm in a bottle that was Boba's Bounty. The next day, I found myself longing for it, needing it. I topped off my Nova and chain-vaped. I was tasting graham crackers, sweet tobacco, and... and... I DON'T KNOW! I've never been this happy vaping any other flavor. It is possible to smile while vaping, and I close my eyes and sigh deeply every time I vape this magical juice. I may load a cart of honeydew pear or blackberry cream to take to work, but it is always accompanied by that Nova full of BB. A few hits of something fruity, and I can't get my fingers around the threading of that BB tank fast enough. Euphoria. Bliss. Nirvana. I still can't explain it, but I'm developing a theory: Crack.:2cool:

Yeah, I think it's pretty okay stuff too. ;)

If Ben is smart and slick, he will list the contents as something along the lines of "cosmetic samples" or something like that. You should get your BB and GJ no problems.

Ave's Hype has been a favorite of mine for a long time, and the performance is awesome. I believe I've gone as long as a month using the same coil....and without having to clean it or dry burn it even once! To me BB is to die for, but I don't really like it all that much before it's aged a bit.....but that doesn't stop me from using it staight out of the mailbox! That way it just gets better and better each day and I can experience the changes it goes through as it ages. I think the honey flavor in BB is the same that's in Bees Knees, but much less of it and it seems to fade away after steeping.

I've been wondering if anyone else gets what I get from GJ. It's pretty good, but not nearly as good as those other two IMHO. But the thing about GJ that really turns me off is that after using it exclusively for many hours my taste buds dull to the flavor (most any juice does this to some extent) and then....then....all I can taste is tobacco! The banana flavor just seems to disappear and all I get is tobacco...and it's not so good any more! Yuck! But BB is not like that at all, can barely taste anything that reminds me of tobacco. It's just yummy.

BB can grow on you. I liked it from the first hit, but put it away to go back to some of my regular flavors. Went back to it from time to time and always enjoyed it, but wasn't in love. After numerous back-and-forth episodes, it eventually became my favorite flavor, hands down. GJ is the runner-up. Then it's Bounty Hunter and El K. I no longer vape any others.

Sounds like a love story, doesn't it?
