Just received my bottle of El Kamino...I'd say its a cross between Boba's and Gorilla juice, leaning a bit more towards the Gorilla flavor, its very nice, but is it better than Boba's...IMO I'd have to say no, would I buy it again...absolutely, it's a quality product that I CAN ACTUALLY GET IT WHEN I NEED IT !

Got my El Kamino today! Well...it taste good...really good. The flavor is hard to describe, but there is definitely some hints of banana on the exhale. Hard to compare to Bobas because imo they taste nothing alike. Which they shouldn't, as this isnt meant to be a clone. I can see why some like the flavor better though.

I did hit a major downside (for me) however...at 18mg imo there is absolutely ZERO throat hit. TH is a big deal for me so I probably wont reorder for this reason. Its too bad because otherwise this would have been at the top of my list!

I had the privilege of meeting the Boba's creator Ben today, a quick 40 minute ride and I was at the legendary AveJuice production facility...a new facility they've just moved into recently, their infrastructure is very close to completion, and soon you'll be seeing an up to date site working as it should, very possibly by weeks end. So hang in there Boba's fans, you'll be happy very soon...the days of "we've reached our daily capacity" are soon to be over.

With a 100ml bottle, and lots of complimentary samples in hand I headed home. As previously stated, El Kamino is not a substitute for the venerable Boba's Bounty...but it's damn good, different...but really good.

Got my El Kamino today I like it alot. Smells like boba's but has a heavier graham taste. For the price and availability I like it. My tastebuds pick up the flavor more on the El Kamino than the Boba's I like the Kamino more call me crazy :). Tried some of the other juices too 925, Deadly Sin, Magic Fairy, Black Fairy, Pain Killa, Tahiti Pearl, and still waiting to try Our Y Chai and Pain Killa but so far all juices I've loved (minues black fairy =/). Everything else has been the goods. 925 and Kamino though top two fav's.

I just recieved my order from glv. El kamino, deadly sin, Mellon boba, and the keys. On first vape I have to say, I enjoy them all which is something I have never said of an order before! There's always a juice or two that I just don't like, sometimes I don't like any of them!
GLV's juices all taste like they'll improve over time, they are fresh and taste like it straight from the mail.
I put some El kamino in my RBA and I have to say that it's growing on me, first impression is of a sweet, dekang tobacco. On its own it's a good juice, sweet honey tobacco with maybe some gram cracker or something, tastes like it'll come out with age. The most notable thing in the negatives column is that it doesn't have the thick mouth feel that I like. Is it a Boba's killer? I dont think so but, as a bobaholic, I find el kamino to be a nice change of pace and is definitely on my top shelf.
I'll have more info after these juices age a few weeks but on first vape I'm pretty excited to have found GLV.

Well I got my El Kamino in, and have been vaping on it for a few days now. Its really good, but not quite as good as Boba's. (or Grumpy's)

But that being said its probably already in my top 5 juices, so I will be buying more of it for sure!

Caramel tobacco, banana, graham cracker, & some faint gingerbread. (cookies)

Geeky Star Wars trivia alert~ Kamino is the planet on which Boba Fett was born/cloned.:p

I was trying to think of where I heard that. I wouldn't call this a BB clone though. Two different mixes, but equally delicious. Nobody has described the taste I get, but that's okay, I'll wait and see if anyone ever does.
