Depends on you, really. Boba's is different for everyone, and Boba's is the most reactive to different wattage and voltage than any liquid I've tried.
It's thick, since it's all VG, so it may gunk up your coils and wick fairly efficiently on both.
And, a lot of people let it steep, some love it right away. Boba's is a different journey for everyone.

Well I got the bottle of Boba's and I decided to put it in my Vivi V5, I excitedly threw it on my mod hit the button and took a huge drag.... Nothing. I hit the button again and to my disgust noticed an error reading. Apparently I had a connection problem with the post so I delicacy poured the elixir into the Iclear 30b. Before I even had a chance to try a taste I noticed a serious leaking problem. Sweet brown juice all over the places it shouldn't be, granted it smelled good, not the experienced I expected. Fast forward after a lot of delicate tweezer work and determination..... I get hints of my first taste. I slowly puff off the now doctored Vivi V5 and get a burst of a overwhelming vinegar soaked raisin infused with honey flavor. I take a few more drags while my brain processed what I was tasting vs what I was expecting to taste. While it wasn't the worst thing I have ever vaped it, was the most conscious i have ever been of flavor considering the legendary status of this juice. Mindful of everything I've read on this forum, my expectation's, and that after all "its just some juice" i decided to give it a day or two and go back to my ADV.
Not to my surprise (considering what i have read) when i gave it another try the next day it tasted drastically better. Not the sublime vaping nirvana i foolishly hoped but much better than pickled gape . Not so vinegary, slightly less raisin heavy and a gram cracker/horehound flavor was peaking through.
Don't get me wrong, im well aware everyone has there own taste and opinion considering i let my brother-in-law try it tonight and he said it taste like bubble gum and schonzberrys! (Yea, i know hes a little nuts!)
Needless to say im gonna sit on this stuff and let it ferment for a while. If the current flavor maturation is a trend this WILL be something worth its considerable reputation

Boba's Bounty can be a challenge for most juice attachments, especially those which depend upon a wick to bring the juice to the heating coil. As others have stated, it's thick. It also has a large amount of tiny particulate matter in it (flavoring particles?). This can quickly clog up the string wicks of clearomizers and the polyfill of a cartomizer.
The best solution, should you end up having issues with Boba's in a clearo or carto, may be a drip atomizer. No wicks to clog, and even more flavor than the aforementioned. Also good in a bottom feeder box mod.
I had to try some Boba's because of its popularity. It turned out to not be my cup of tea. Not a fan of tobacco flavors in general, and not a fan of honey grahm crackers with raisens. I keep pulling it out every month or so to see if more steeping will improve it, to no avail.

Well its coming up on a month since I got my bottle and the metamorphosis is drastic. Gone is the strong vinegar/raisin flavor, instead now im getting a complex ginger/clove/tobacco blend with still a hint of horehound and a muted cinnamon flavor on the exhale. The flavor is very mellow and enjoyable. Im vaping it @ 7.oVW. I wish it tasted like this off the bat but at least I know what the effects of steeping are.
Just a side note in the meantime ive fell in love with GLV's high 5 right out of the mailbox. Not the same flavor profile, just a delicious no waiting vape.

I can easily see that happening. Im not about to rent a billboard proclaiming this being the greatest juice but it does get better with age. I do hold it in a special place in my heart though considering it was the first juice I paid so much attention to every hint of flavor. It has a tremendous reputation to live up to and does for better or worse.
You got it today and vaped it today? It needs to steep a long (very long) time.....and then it's amazing for many
I vape mine straight from the bottle. If someone sells a juice that needs to steep, I think they should steep it before they sell it.
That said, I vape BB in my Novice RDA hybrid, with a 1 ohm coil (from 17.5w down until I feel like changing the battery). Tastes fine to me.
To me, Boba's tastes like tobacco, chocolate, raisins, and a touch of sweet, maybe honey.
For anyone having issues with wicking, just add 1 drop of distilled water for every 2 ml of juice. There is no noticeable drop in flavor, and the juice will wick well through any device. I use Kanger cartos and EVODs. Without the H2O, I would get constant dry hits. Once I added the water, the juice flowed beautifully.

I just ordered 10 ml today to test the waters - plus a couple more from the same place. Am I in for a disappointment? By all the users, I'd think I'd be begging to get more. What's the deal? 've already tossed Nickoticket N1H1 or whatever... because it was so highly rated. Not my cup of tea, I guess.
The original Boba's Bounty from Alien Vision is only available in 6, 12, 18, 30 or 100ml and is 100% VG only. Otherwise, it's the fake Boba's. Just saying.
Best vaped in an RDA or HH.357 atty. My brother likes his in a Stardust, go figure.

Anyone get a slight coconut out of this stuff?
Incidentally, I'm doing a Volt spinner w/ an aspire mini nova and it burns totally fine.

I'm one of those fools who vapes BB straight out of the mail. I love the stuff and can't help but compare everything else I try to it. I did, finally, get smart and buy enough to have some steeping on standby, so we'll see if my opinion changes. For right now though, I'm perfectly content with it in a KFL with a 1.4-1.7ohm coil. Nirvana indeed.
(edit)
Forgot to mention, BB is definitely a coil-eater. I get about one good tank out of it before I have to re-wick and coil.

. I love the weird fermented raisin taste straight out the mailbox. AND I love its progressive change as I work through the bottle. I definitely had to thin it out with the drops of distilled water when I only had clearos to put it in. Anyone who loves the BB and is considering learning an RDA or RBA, it's definitely worth it to do so. Great in the Reo or any RDA. Using cotton, it's easy to dry burn and rewick every day, takes under a minute. I recoil every 10-15ml run through the coil. I agree that it is outstanding around the 1.4-1.7 ohm range.
10ml? Ugh, you may have ordered the fake stuff, from the fake site. If so, it will likely be a great letdown. Sucks to be bit on the rear by a crooked company.
H1N1 and BB are two completely different animals. I'm not a fan of the Virus, myself--not my flavor profile at all. BB is, well, different. It's a love it or hate it sort of liquid. But I feel that at least testing it out (the authentic stuff--from Verify Your Age To Enter Alien Visions E-Juice Website) is a good thing for anyone to experience for themselves at least once.
I ordered some too just to try. I want to see what all the hype is? It hasn't gotten here yet. I'm gonna try it right away (cause I like instant gratification) and then let it sit for awhile to compare.
Are you asking if I get more enjoyment from the juice or the device?
It's possible. JK. A lot of people have said that. I believe I saw a DIY recipe that called for coconut.

See, that's the weird thing, I don't get the raisin thing at all. I just don't taste it. I get the tobacco notes, I get the graham cracker / honey thing, maybe a touch of chocolate, but that's it. It does change over time, but to me most of the tastes I mentioned mellow into a smooth tobacco flavor.
I do agree with adding a few drops of water though, it's the only way I could make it work reliably in the KFL.
