Boba's Bounty Doesn't Taste That Good...

[retrox]

Just got my 12ml "sample" of Boba's in today. I say "sample" because now that I look at the bottle after vaping this stuff, it looks pathetically tiny. I've got a feeling I'm gonna blow through this 12ml in no time. I've never taken to a new juice this quickly. It's unlike anything I've ever had. There are all sort of things going on in here... Honey graham crackers, raisins, molasses, oak, sweet pipe tobacco, oats, ....... I mean.... ...?!

I think I'm gonna need a bigger bottle.

I've tried to order from Alien Visions several times. I always seem to get in when the electronic order system is down or it's not between 8 am and whenever they get 300 orders for the day. It's almost like you need to know someone or be lucky to get through the system and complete an order.

I've read about the health issues of the owner and the pressure of trying to fulfill demand and I understand completely. If you aren't physically able to run a business due to health problems it's understandable.

I guess that I'm just not persistent enough in trying to get through. This morning around 10am I tried and got my cart filled, but couldn't check out because it wasn't yet 8am PST. Later in the afternoon when I could get back online around 4EST/1PST the order system still wouldn't let me check out. I guess they reached the 300 bottle limit pretty fast. That's fine, but most order systems let you place the order after hours and they fill it the next morning. Isn't that common? I'd be willing to be on the list for whenever as long as I could get my order processed within a week.

Lack of persistence is probably the reason I have yet to vape Boba's Bounty. I was in the local Longhorn Steak House a couple of years ago around Valentines Day and the wait time was an hour and a half. I remarked that maybe the owner should expand the restaurant. A guy leaned over and said, "Trust me ... I know the owner and he is making all the money he wants to make. He won't expand it in the near future". He hasn't. The guy was right.

No sour grapes here, just an observation. I have my favorite juices and I'm satisfied with them. I was just curious about the hoopla over Boba's and thought I'd try it.
