Hey, Bronze ... no knock on you, buddy! I was just expressing a little sympathy for one of my favorite vendors. I'm a small businessman myself, and I know what a catastrophe it can be to have something out of your control drive off your customers. I know people have to have something to vape when their favorites aren't available ... I mean, what are you going to do? Quit vaping until BB and GJ come back on line? I don't think so ... :laugh:

Scott, I know you well enough that you weren't knocking on me. You're a class act and don't need to explain yourself to me. I don't know why AVE has limited their ordering window for so long. Maybe they don't want to add more employees or get any bigger than what the two of them can produce. I have no idea. I do sympathize with the OP though because if HHV limited purchases similar to AVE, I would likely find alternatives myself. There are lots of folks addicted to AVE so it has to be very disappointing to them. I hope it works itself out.

I will always be Bobas/GJ customer but selfishly I am kinda glad of the shortage, it helped me get off my .... and get into DIY. In the last 3 weeks I've converted 5 of my friends quit analogs with my own fruit combination flavorings a lot of it inspired by PG Hype and other AVE fruit flavors.

Bpbas/gj has a peppery taste. No idea what this is. Also, it seems gj/bobas sometimes loose taste .. Certain flavors die etc all together. I hope ave has heard of this ... Sure they have. Still great juice though.

HHV georgia peach = slightly sweet peach + bland tobacco = juice saved by the peach. Its good if this is what your looking for ... But after bobas/gj i must have the peppery taste and th.

RAWR vapor = Malty tobacco + tarty cooked banana(Not close to ave) = these two combined some say taste like a wet dog, and I can see it. I think of it as cooked banana's ... Because banana's become tarty when cooked.

Well, to be fair, they aren't the same thing. Gandygate was a screw up on a single juice. And yes, they heard about it from me (and others). I think the OP was open to looking at other options because he tired of trying to place orders. I'm not an AVE customer but I do know their limited purchasing opportunities has been going on for quite some time. I would never deny anyone to vape what they want and I certainly don't want to diss the AVE owners. Especially since I don't know them. I just wanted to give the OP some alternatives since he asked for them.

yes, i'm looking for something else similar to BB and GJ, so i have backup all day vapes when i can't get them. it's not just the flavor, but also how it "feels" inhaling the vapor. i notice different juices have a different sensation when inhaling to me. i've ordered some sample packs from places, but still haven't found anything that could replace it temporarily. i may just get into DIY, who knows. i see that BB and GJ will be available friday, but the chances of actually getting an order placed friday is probably slim to none since everyone will be stalking the site lol.

i'll take a look at HHV and BWB, but what is BWB?

i really need some. with it being out of stock, the 3 week move, and the store only being open 10 minutes a day after the move, it's impossible to get. i really need something to fall back on, thats similar, these are 2 of my 3 all day vapes, and i'm jonesing so bad, i have 2mL of GJ left, and it's like a fine wine, i don't want to vape it until the right occasion. i have been googling for 2 weeks looking for something to replace them, haven't found it yet. i ordered Johnson Creek Rad Oak Tennessee Cured which somebody recommended to someone, don't like it, also ordered Copper Creek House Blend, which i haven't tried yet.

Does anyone have any great recommendations for me? thanks alot!

Come find us on on the NLV pow-wow thread

I think renegade and bounty hunter and a few of their other flavors would be right up your alley.

Michael, I'm confident I could help you. But I know a long time AVE vaper who could probably be even better than me. I'll get him over here to help you out.

I honestly don't know what to suggest if someone single mindedly just has to have those juices, because nothing is really similar to Boba's or GJ that I've found. Renegade and Bounty Hunter certainly aren't. There are lots of good juices out there made by quality vendors, but none of them are "like" the AVE juices. You may have to branch out and try some of them. A flavor profile that includes something other than "I want something that tastes like Boba's" would be helpful for getting suggestions.

well, my 3rd all day vape i can't live without is Basics Banana sold only at Cignot. i guess it is hard, but those are the only 3 juices i have found that i can vape all day long and not get sick of. i have tried so many different juices from so many different vendors and most end up in the garbage, so i'm trying to avoid wasting money like that. it's part flavor, and part Texture of the vape i guess, nothing i have found "feels" like BB, GJ and the Banana i vape.

There you go Michael. I didn't think you'd find anything like Boba's or GJ. If you want alternatives, I think you're going to have to consider opening your mind to other flavors. You wouldn't be the first one (the Chimp is one of them). Again, I can help you with what works for me (HHV). You can come over on this thread below and I (we) can break you down to get an idea of what you might like and set you up with some recommendations. A word of caution though. There's a good chance by the time we get done with you that you will not want to vape Boba's or GJ anymore. Just a warning.

EDIT: BTW, this thread is not sponsored by HHV. We're just a bunch of HHV enthusiasts that have nothing to do with HHV.

Did you see my earlier post of alternative vendord with 12 mg in stock?

Not the same but equal in the the flavor sensation to me would be Gollum, then Huntsman, followed by Dark Horse. In my opinion.
