Very curious as well Lamarrk, If AVE kept it in stock we would not have to look elsewhere. now.....I feel like Swagger from Pinkspot tastes like bobas, but I havent side by side vaped them. When i tried it i was immediately reminded of Bobas. And Not buying a product based on the way the owner looks is kinda like judging a book by its cover. But the 100mg is pretty extreme i will say.

ill have to try out swagger. a local vape shop carries pink spot so im hoping it's close to being like ave's

My cc was charged. Don't remember getting any email confirmation from the web site. Hope it arrives in the next day or so.
Will let everyone know it when it shows up as I'll definitely "do it" asap.

Please keep a close eye on your CC his website shows no sign of a safe secure checkout or verification. just 2 very shady blurry logos of a visa and mastercard on the bottom of his website

glad you liked it but its hard for me to support somebody who is trying to rip off the originator. im sure catskill is old enough to put his big boy pants on and make a unique flavor of his own instead of trying to clone a flavor that is perfected. Trying to steal customers is a big red flag in my book. This is just my opinion not trying to start an argument over bobas bounty there are hundreds of threads already created. Just saying Im glad you liked it but im going to stay away from catskill because of all the horrible reviews of the guy having a short fuse and horrible customer service.

Agreed, not cool at all!

I'm all for the fun in DIY trial & error by the consumers to clone perhaps the most prolific US made ejuice ever. But to simply state as a US vendor that you have a clone of a product and sell it that way is downright wrong. Time for Catskills to move shop, believe the city of Guangdong, China would welcome his business.

you guys are one tough crowd. I let the product speak for itself. Ordered - payment was secure, received order confirmation email & transaction approval email.

We shall see. I just can't use anything less than 70PG in my juices now. So i'm glad that is being offered. I am highly skeptical given the many bad reviews about his business practices, but am a firm believer to give anyone a chance to proof themselves.

There are reviews complaining about how he mixes his juice - kitchen style. Dear vapers, I am certain half if not more of all vendors mix their juice in the kitchen or garage. Just FYI.

a lot of us are being tough because as a business why not create your own line of premium juices instead of trying to clone something? he is a big boy and he has all the flavors he needs to create something unique and to draw customers in which is the right way of building a company from ground up. instead he is cloning something to step on the toes of the originator of boba's and he is hoping to take all of ave's customers to buy from him. im not jumping to conclusions its a fact that those are his intentions hes thinking like any other owner of a company/business "well I have bobas it tastes the same, and its cheaper. theres no reason why my competitors customers wont buy it from me" but honestly at least name it something else.

pepsi, rc, cocacola, there is a reason all those sell and taste similar, competition might get ave in check and they might up there game in the process... in the end the consumer wins, i dont care about his business i care about the product, if my "herbal blend" dealer doesnt have stock i'll make a phone call to the next guy, and buy his product, might not be as good as my regular guy but it will do in time of need.

See, this is why I don't trust what people say online. Swagger tastes NOTHING like Boba's Bounty.... not even 1%.

I ordered last Friday, received notification of order but no word on shipping yet. Didn't pay anything for shipping, so don't know what's up with that. Definitely a lil shady, but any port in a storm as they say. The customer registration on his website is also super obnoxious with EVERY field required! I made sure to comment on that. As far as the clone goes, he is definitely not making his whole business based around copying bobas. With all the availability BS for bobas, I would be glad if someone cloned it, so more power to him.

I called them today and was told my order had shipped and that I would have my tracking number in the morning.

The phone call seemed kinda sketchy for a place of business

I don't think Pepsi tastes ANYTHING like Cokecola! :p

Seriously, I would be wary of this company. Too much on the nets about this owner and his company. You may want to watch this video for an example of his "professionalism: : Catskill Mountain Vapor Store: Rainbow Sherbet & Vendor Review - YouTube

There is a REASON this company and person is banned on this and many other vaping forums.

Got my shipment in. Initial drip test didn't wow me. More of an ashy taste, with a very very slight hint of something similar to BB.
I'll have to free up a tank and give it a longer test using a carto. Will be back with the result. As of right now, I'd recommend a big NO to anyone thinking of buying it. Might change with steeping and further testing.

Have given my wife permission to freely use all this she wants. I have to hide the real thing from her.
