I was going to post my review here, but didn't have enough posts. I have now, lol. My review caused quite a stir, while I was exited to let people know that there is a Boba's Bounty available that tastes just as good, if not better, I was first called a shill/plant for reviewing the juice but I guess some members were genuinely concerned as there was a horrible bottle ( not looking like the one I have received) of e-liquid supplied by them.

I personally love the Boba's Bounty clone. I was pretty upset to find out AVE was still down and already going turkey for not having any of my favorite all day vape. I found a review on YouTube by the maker of the juice and I gave it a try. Glad I did! I ordered extra flavor and sweetener, but you probably dont need it. i like loads of flavor. I called prior ordering as I wasn't sure what ratio to use. I went with 50/50.

I'm very happy to have my Boba's fix, for a good price! I had problems ordering and he sorted it out for me right away. Some people said that a tax Id is required, I just entered 000, as I don't have one. I believe it's just the website template. Here is my review that I wrote earlier:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...271-catskill-mountain-bobas-bounty-clone.html


I love the product, vapor production is great and my order got here within 4 days. I will order again, and I also wanted to agree with the prior poster for pointing out the Black Friday marketing from AVE, many times I wasn't able to order my juice. I couldn't order any PG ratio and they stopped selling the big bottles. And last but not least the order page stays closed, probably for weeks.

Lost me as a customer for now.

That is how it tastes to me, like a mix of the two. I like the hint of banana in there :) bnrk

I just received his Boba's clone and it smells like a mix of Bobas and Gorilla Juice. Juice looks great. and I can't wait to load into my tank.

Really looking forward to this one.

I agree with everything you wrote and my thought process is very similar. Because AVE doesn't offer the right PG/VG ratio that fits my needs I stopped ordering from them.

We have three people here that received the BB Clone and like it. That's reason enough for me to order again - until I have reason to say otherwise at least.

No way?! How did I miss that....

The price doesn't change when you change the quantity. I ordered the 60ml bottle and was charged the same price as the 30ml.
Still don't like it ... it's still steeping. My wife does like it but I doubt I'll order more IF I can get the real thing from AVE.

Buyer beware

Bank of America just shut down my card and told me it was compromised

They said that one of my recent transactions was with a vender that has been known to have fraud issues.

Catskill is the ONLY place that I ordered from recently that wasn't one of my normal places that I buy online from.

I can't say 100% that Catskill was the reason but I didn't buy anything from anywhere else out of the norm

Oh wow. I had heard of people having issues with them before. I used a gift card to buy my juice from them.

checked my credit card and all good. I'm with BOA as well. Please report back once you have more info/concrete proof.

It's funny because since I started vaping I've ordered from tons of places and never, ever an issue. Meanwhile I read this posts about fraud here and fraud there... You just never know it could be you have keylogger/virus etc etc.

For that matter I order online ALL the time and never ever an issue.

Not saying it was NOT from CatSkill, but nothing has happened with my card. Again, please let us know what BOA said. you should be able to talk to a fraud specialist who can tell you what/who/where.

I'm heading to the bank now to pick up a new debit card.

To clarify, nothing was actually taken from me but When I made a purchase it threw a red flag with BofA. All they would tell me was that it was a vendor in one of my last 5 purchases. :-(

I hope it wasn't Catskill as I really like the juice but I just don't see how it couldn't have been them.

Ok guys -

I'm throwing this juice away.

I ordered 18mg strength and it's way, way, way more than that. I'm light headed and at first thought it was just my morning coffee, but that's not it ... Guess the reviews are right ... very inconsistent.. What a pity as I really like the flavor, but this has got to be strongest Nic level juice I've ever vaped...

Be careful guys - this is not cool.

Chiwen, I can't give this to anyone. It's highly overdosed.. Trust me - I'm a stim junkie and this is has my head spinning.. This is going into the trash. Be careful Sir..

Oh.. That bad eh? My order was for 18mg too. I've gone through a couple of tanks already with no issues. Maybe you should contact them and see if they will replace it.

Trashing juice always sucks, but having to trash juice that tastes good really sucks hard.

My two cents. I spoken with the owner (he called me to work out my order). I was wanting the clone in 0nic. to make a long story short, he has ended up ordering new supplies and working out a new recipe to keep the taste the same and the nicotine down. when it arrives i'll let you know how it is. But personally, if he's going to go through all that trouble to make a juice just for me i think that has to count for something.

i'm extending the benefit of the doubt.

I just got mine today. Ordered it almost a month ago so not the best shipping practice. But, I must say it is very good. Tastes like it has some banana in it though. I'd say its closer to gj than bb but its still a great juice in my book.

I think it's funny though, this guy screws up and he should be arrested? While ave is turning into a crap business oh but that's growing pains. Give me a break neither is perfect. On a more serious note, if you don't trust the juice, then don't vape it. I don't think he should be selling his natural tobacco/the one that turns green and starts smelling. Dangerous.

Ok. I thought I'd come back to this thread. Honestly, after doing some more reading I'm concerned. Not just regarding the findings of the nasty bottle of the natural tobacco and what the well respected member pointed out what he had found to be in the juice, but after another thread with 100 pages about CMVS that took me 2 days to read on another forum.

I'm seriously confused by now and a little mad. Mad, because I do not have money to throw away. The juice is stronger than other 18mg juices I've received, which intially didn't raise a red flag until after the replies here on the forum. It does taste really good. But with every vape I'm getting a bit paranoid on what dangerous stuff might be in there. This made me think, if he is blind..how does he do the measurements? I assume it can be done, but do I really want to take a big risk like this?


I read he has help, but do these people really know what they are doing? In the other thread someone posted a Video review where the Lady stated that it was way to strong. Just now someone mentioned he is throwing it out because it is too strong. I noticed the same, and while checking back on the website, I realized I haven't seen the option to order up to 50 mg Nicotine anywhere else.


Now imagine if there is a mistake and someone doesn't know what they are doing. With all the bad reputation I really don't feel comfortable at all anymore. Now if one was out to give him a bad reputation and put him out of business, well done. You got me to worry. But honestly after doing a little more research, and reading the long thread on another forum I probably will not re-order and it's a shame as I'm a Boba's Bounty lover. The price was really good too, I mean $15 for 4 OZ...nobody beats that.


But I will not be mad, I'm just going to look into DIY. At least I'll know what is in the juice. Who knows, maybe I'll turn into a really cool e-juice mixer.
