I would be interested in a comparison, too. I'll have to try to get my hands on the real thing. I guess I'm a sucker, but I do like it, and will order again.

That's awesome you ended up liking the bootleg stuff I guess. That bootleg site also sells ridiculous sounding flavors like skunk cabbage. :?:

I thought I was the luckiest person ever when I saw it was available on the first try after reading about how hard it is to get! I ordered a small bottle, it showed up on time, it was pretty underwhelming when I tried it (as expected), it got better in a week (as expected), and after two weeks I really liked it. Or was it the power of suggestion...am I vaping anti-freeze mixed with graham cracker crumbs and only convincing myself it's good? Was it steeping or was this counterfeit mystery juice destroying my taste buds one at at time? Is this going to kill me?

Now I've got to try the real thing, which I will no doubt hate. I've lost all credibility as a juice reviewer...after only one juice review!

I can't wait to see you compare the two (remember to steep the real stuff too). I imagine the real deal is hard to match, though, as it has a hard to define fullness to it. It's what people mean when they say it satisfies. That bootleg site scares me. There's no info at all about who they are, where they are, etc. Their product descriptions are ridiculous - not that those matter all that much, but "try this one, it's pretty good" is a bit scant on useful info. And that elicit substance line is pure laughs. :facepalm:

gamedesigner, I post this awhile back,
Hi everyone, new member here. Been reading this forum for awhile and really like what I have read. I have learned a great deal for the members here and that I thank you all. This post is about everything that I have read about Boba's Bounty from AVE. I just had to order some for myself. I did after days of trying and could not wait until it arrived. However when it did, I am sorry to say I was disappointed. I just want to ask your opinion on the flavor of this or if there may have been a mix up in the blending of this juice. I get a taste that is very similar to the smell you get after blanching tomatoes to make them easier to peel before canning. Has anyone else had a similar batch with this flavor? Do you think this may have been a bad batch? Is this the way it is suppose taste? Thank You for your feedback.

since then it has steeped for several weeks and is actually pretty good so give it time. I am not saying it is the best but it is vape-able
 
I just got my 100 ml bottle of Boba's in the other day. I just love it. This was my first "love it" juice, and I hate that it's hard to get. But it always feels like a real treat when I have it! Sometimes, it does need to steep. It's like a fine wine, I guess. Put it down in the cellar with the wine and leave it for a bit. :)

I ordered 30ml of Boba's last week after reading all of the hype. Needless to say my head was filled with many many things expecting it to be the best thing ever. I've read that it needed to steep a while. Me, being the stubborn German decent American that I am just couldn't wait as I pulled it out of the mailbox yesterday. I put a few drops in my rewicked squid, took a few deep breaths to prepare myself for the ensuing orgasm that was suppose to happen in my mouth. Hit the button on my Zmax and....

Was somewhat disappointed. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't really that good. I got stale cinnamon/raisin toast with maybe a hint of honey. Tried it again today after work and it was slightly better. It's gonna sit on my juice shelf for a week or two before I try it again. From what I've read on here it will improve. /crossingfingers

So I have my first bottle of BB coming this week. While at my local Vape Shop, which I work at, I was talking to one of our regulars Gary McRoy, who is a member here. Well Gary had just gotten in a bottle of BB and gave me an EVODs worth. This is fresh juice, and OMG it so lives up to the hype. And the fact that it only gets better with time. Im gonna have to order a bigger bottle next time. This stuff is so freakin tasty! Thanks again Gary!

What is Hype?
I've found it in their store, however they've neglected to fill in descriptions for about half of their flavors... Maybe it's just me, but that seems a little silly after taking two months to redesign a web site.
:facepalm:


ETA So I stay on topic: I received my first taste of Boba's this week. I can't wait for it to steep :)

boba's is one juice that doesn't need to steep, it tastes great right out of the bottle... i can't do that with any other juices

    Yep, count me into joining the hypewagon. well.. in the process of anyway.

    Made me an AVE order the other day, goods should be here tmrw morning. Got Bobas, Gorilla Juice, Hype, and a couple others.

    Ive got plenty of other juices, so Im going to do what I almost never do, and just put these all to steep. Im big on first impressions, and though I have found like 2 juices out of about 40 that I really enjoy(and a bunch that are "good"), I haven't yet found that, "OMFG I could vape this forever". the Flavor profile described of BB, SOUNDS right up my alley, in a big way. Im going to give it the best chance possible.
