After rading all the good things (hype) people had to say about bobas bounty, I ordered 60mils of it from AVE. Please tell me this juice needs to sleep a bit in order to taste good, because it tastes pretty bad at this moment!

So all you bobas lovers, what atty ohm and voltage are you guys using it at? Maybe Im not using the right combo?

Hate it. I mentioned before that if I wanted to suck cheap scotch and stale beer through a dirty gym sock I would go back to college. :)

I get why people like it, I really do. But it's really not for me.

Well I got some juice from BWB too, and Im not too crazy about those either! I got honey flue cured, hazle nut tobacco and vanilla bean. I think Im going to let them sleep for a week and give them a try again.

It sounds like you need to get away from the Tobacco based juices. Try some of the sweeter variations instead. There's tobacco flavour lovers and dessert flavour lovers. You may belong to the latter clique.

I love Boba's, and vape it every day, but I will admit that the first few times I tried it I was kind of baffled. I think it may be an acquired taste. After a vape or two it started to taste good, within a week or two I wondered how I lived without it. Set it aside for a day or two and maybe try it again, give it a little time, it may sneek up on you. I use a LR 2.0 ohm cartos on my REO for all my vaping, but have been trying the CCV Ressurectors lately. Jury is still out on those.

Folks *do* say that Boba's evolves as it ages/steeps, and I've seen quite a few report that it took a little while before the flavor really grew on them (either extended vaping or multiple test tries).

I have a sample & have only done three or four test tries and, so far,...meh. I feel like I should give it one more try, now that it's older; if the final verdict's that it's not for me, I'll mix the little bit left into something that'll overpower it and be done with it.

For your larger quantity, if you decide you don't like it, I'm sure you could sell it on the classifieds. It has a lot of devoted fans.

I had pretty much the same experience. The first time I tried it wasn't love at first vape, I thought it was interesting but wasn't sure it agreed with me. It took vaping a bottle of my old favorite sweet juice to appreciate how unsatisfying it was compared to the boba's and that's when I was hooked.

Honestly threads like this one make me nervous, but I went ahead and bought 30ml myself a few days ago and I THOUGHT it was gonna be here today, but unfortunately not. I'm really excited about it, but also nervous because of the "love it or hate it" posts. We'll see and I'll be back to give a better reply as soon as it gets here. Thanks for the advice though.

One good lesson I learned about buying e-liquid is to never, ever buy anything larger than a sample because of hype, reviews, recommendations or inexpensive. It's very tempting to buy 30ml when almost everybody raves about it especially when it's on sale.

Honeyville Vapor had a sale last week on there 5ml samples for 99 cents each and I ordered 1 each of all 24 flavers. That's 120ml for almost $24 ($.20/ml). If I like just 2 or 3 flavors out of the 24, then I'm happy. If I don't like any, then at least I didn't spend $60 ($.50/ml). HV is teamed up with Gourmet Vapor, which makes some pretty good stuff. Maybe they use the same ingredients, but mix their own flavors. I don't know.

I generally agree, but I figured with Boba's, even if I don't like it I can sell it REALLY easily because of the following and not be out that much either. And I hate getting a sample that I love and then not havin the money to buy more any time soon. This time I had the capitol and thought what the heck? We'll see. Thanks though.

Good thinking. You can't go wrong with Boba's reputation. However, it looks like most people steep it first, which means tying up money for awhile. But I agree, there's nothing worse than impatiently waiting for something you can't do without.

Nate, are those a couple of F-18 Hornets in Rhasps avatar? Mr Vet. Congrats!
