They're not even competing, they're just reselling an identified brand. As to Sweden, it may have a king, and a parliament, but it's a very controlled socialist economy. In 1980 I was trying to buy some vodka for a party, and they asked for ID, then only sold me one bottle. I went to another store. They took my ID, and said "sorry, you already bought one bottle today". Everybody, whether they worked or not, had a little apartment, a bicycle, a potted plant and a radio. Low stress. Yet the suicide rate was astronomical. The musicians of the group ABBA moved because they were being taxed and controlled to death.

I tried the BB and GJ, see it turned out as a good advertising move, talk of shortage'll get your curiosity aroused every time. Well, at least these are all VG juices, big step in the right direction. And if ya knows your flavors and where they come from, both those juices' recipes are pretty obvious, anybody can make some. What I'm curious about is this: does everybody like that use of "pepper spray" ingredients as a throat hit? The Gorilla is pretty restrained in that respect, but that Boba's ... Ayi!! Holy cojones piqantes!

It depends on what I smoke BB out of. Sometimes the throat hit is a bit much (DCCs for example). I think I also tend to use higher resistance atomizers with BB than most people (2.5 ohm at least). Just wondering what you would peg the taste of Boba's at if you are willing to say, because it's been bugging me for ages...

Fernand.. Fernand... It's true that we have special stores for stronger alcohol and you have to be 20 to buy it. The restriction of alcohol amount disappeared in 1930-something and if I'm not mistaking it was the same in your country at that time ;)
It seems to me like you were full of alcohol when you was in Sweden so they didn't wanted to sell you any more or you have mixed up what country you where in...
How nice for you to be personally friend with the members of ABBA. Did they tell you they was controlled? By whom? The record company maybe...
But it's true we have taxes but we also have some nice benefits for it too.. Don't you pay tax?

About the suicide rates... a quick google search..

Jackass, jackass, the formal mottbok quota system was abolished in 1955, not 1930, but there was a computerized system I ran into in 1980 where they tracked purchases in (the only allowed) state owned liquor stores. Absolut vodka was until recently owned by the government. The members of ABBA were recently cloned to replace the aging ABBA-robots that were retired to the Diskö Cultural Goods museum in Plötföt. Sweden is a lovely place, full of Swedes with charm and grace.

Wow..! I live in a "very controlled socialist economy" and I'm "controlled to death"
I always thought my grandparents left those countries years a go (Hungary and Former Jugoslavia) to make a better living.
I'll maybe should increase the "suicide rates" a little bit ;)
All these years I thought I lived in a country with mixed economy with the benefits of both worlds and it have kept our country high in the Democracy Index.
Luckily I have a little bit more than "a little apartment, a bicycle, a potted plant and a radio" as I work in a private owned school with profit interests:2c: :)

Btw. I'm looking forward to some Boba's from SmokTek as they willingly ships to socialist countries. I'm on the site frequently hoping for a stock update and make my order :)
