Ok so in the elusive hunt of trying to locate the tastes and pleasures of these two juices, I have finally dedicated an atty to exclusively these two flavors. I run a Provari with HV 306 (3.7.-9 ohm) aty.

So I'm not sure if everyone is familiar with wattages but I really want to find that sweet spot.
Any VV users may be able to tell me their preference in wattage.

Otherwise non VV can use Ohm's Law Calculator
plug in your voltages and you're ohms resistance and "power" that comes up is watts. might have to reset and re-enter sometimes. but i'd curious as to how you like it at that level.

I am just very curious to see exactly what wattage/setup all the BB and GJ lovers are enjoying this juice at, and I would like to replicate that. I'm currently around 7ish watts, but is it crazy to go to like 10? I want to taste this BB like the vaping kings.

Feedback appreciated, lets find the sweets! of course YMMV

I think it depends what your looking for out of your Boba's, for example I get a more complex flavor at a lower wattage then I do a higher wattage, on the higher wattage I get more of a tobacco and throat hit is better, so really there are a couple different ways to look at the Boba's. I think flavor wise I would say some wheres around 5-6 watts, for a vape where I need that kick Azz vape I would be more at 8-9 Watts. That's the best I can describe my thoughts on this for now, also LR has a different taste to me as well when I use a 1.5-1.8 ohm Atty
 
I just got sample bottles of BB and GJ for the first time. After fiddling with the Darwin for a bit I've decided on 9.5 watts on a 4.9-5.0 ohm atty. This puts the voltage at around 7 with 1.4 amps. Gives a nice warm hit with loads of vapor and flavor. I must say, BB really didn't seem like something I'd like at first but it's rapidly growing on me. I think it tastes a bit like Graham crackers, which I love. :vapor:

I almost felt the same exact way, except, I did like it at first. I didn't think it was the bees knees until I ran out and wondered why all of a sudden I cannot live without it :D It is now my all day vape :laugh:

9.5 watts,7v takes all the subtle undertones away from the Boba's in my opinion and you only taste one flavor at that number, dont get me wrong its a good vape but to fully experience all the flavors in the Bobas you need to vape it at different numbers and ways to get the full effect of the stuff

I experiment with this all of the time. With different atomizers and cartomizers rated at different resistences. Personally, I really like a standard Joye atty at just a little over 5v. But, right now, I am really enjoying it with a Cisco 1.5ohm at just a little under 3.8v. I change it all of the time with every new atty/carto I try, and it just never seems to get old to me :D

I agree about the subtle flavors being lost at higher wattages. I like to run a Cisco 306 2.0ohm atty about about 4.3 volts.

No joke, I was looking at page one saying to my self, "for me 4.3-4.7 is just right" 4.3 gives me great flavor, and a smooth vape,4.7 is more for my workday nic fix, just a nice little quick head change

My only two options for Boba's at this very second are a 4.2v at 1.5 resistance (11.76 watts) and 3.7v at 2.8 ohms (4.88 watts) and the latter (4.88) is bringing out so much amazing in the Boba's while the 11.76 watts is just mashing it up into a really burnt up chocolate taste. I think with Boba's more than any other of the (admittedly limited) juices I've tried, lower wattage is the way to go. At 24mg it still has a really nice TH as well.

I run my GJ for the most part on my REO at 6v with a 3.5Ω stealth 510 and that works out to a whopping 10.2 watts. Its shouldn't work but it does. The flavor is great.Complete and complex. The throat it is right on for my insane taste and the Vapor is out of control!!

I also vape it in a MAP tank on my Provari from time to time. the CE2 is 3Ω and the voltage is 5.1 so thats 8.6W. The vapor and throat hit is more mellow and the flavor is still as complex as the REO setup but I find it to be sweeter. I like this setup after dinner :D

I hope this helps but I'm sure you will find prime wattage will vary from set up to set up.

Happy Vaping:)
