What's fun about it is that it seems to taste wildly different to everyone. Factors like voltage also seem to make the flavor vary quite a lot.

Has there been an official "what does Boba's taste like to you?" thread? Maybe this could be it!

I think most would agree it's sweet, though I don't get ginger flavor in there..
I get graham cracker, honey, banana, and tobacco. Sometimes I can taste some horehound in there.

In my opinion, it has a very different taste. I cannot describe it. I received a bottle the other day. I personally don't like it. It doesn't work well in my eGos or my 510s for some odd reason(tried dripping and carts with blue foam and polyfill)
I do like GJ though.

Have you tried adding up to 2 drops of distilled water per ML? Recently started adding water to AVE juice and it helps it perform better in cartos.. Would expect this to dilute the flavor, but it actually improves it because more liquid gets to the atomizer in the carto. Maybe same would work in your ego carts...

I will have to try that.

Yeah, me too, lol!

I ordered Bobas, GJ, CD, 555, & some others.

I always add distilled water to all my VG juices. IT DOES seem to enhance the flavor (& yes, probably because more is getting to the coil).

I use an eGo-T type B tanks with lo res attys exclusively. I really, only vape VG. But VG seems to make these attys get hot fast. So, only thing is have 2 going to switch back & forth, as if they get hot the atty will blow very quickly.

I just got my first order of BB in the mail today and I love it! :hubba:

To me, it tastes like pipe tobacco with a hint of Irish Creme, or maybe its Hazel Nut, or maybe its Roasted Almond, or...I give up! Whatever it tastes like, it is good and has become my new all day vape! :p

What he said... lol except for the all day vape part but you never know after it steeps for a while. Something keeps forcing me to vape this even though I can't put my finger on the flavor. Somehow I got 2 of BB and no GJ so I will have to wait to try that one but this bobas is quite tasty. I haven't had too much of a problem with my ego-t either. The liquid is very thick but as long as I don't try to take a double hit or something it works fine for now.

I get none of those tastes and none described thus far. It is very difficult to describe and after you try it, you can vape it on diff. attys and will still taste diff. After trying it for yourself, you will discover that everyone has a diff. opinion and remember to carry that over in your thoughts when reading reviews on flavs. All diff. opions - taste is subjective. What one person likes 20 others will hate.

I've heard so much about this flavor, does it have a ginger flavor? ( I heard this on a You Tube video).

Or, does it taste like:

1. RY4 (sweet)?
2. Johnson Creek Tennessee Cured (medium sweet (to me - not as sweet as RY4) / smoky)?
3. 555: less sweet than RY4, a bit nutty flavor?

Thanks!

The first time I tried BB, it was sooo good and I vaped so much of it that I made myself sick. Now, having to go without BB or GJ for a few weeks, I really miss it. I placed an order and it should be here Tuesday or Wednesday. But this time, I will vape in moderation :)

Yea, about that... :oops: I have already gone through more than 1ml and I recieved it today. Far from sick but I can understand how that happened to you lol.

I started one months ago:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...l-bobas-bounty-review-thread.html#post1700838

I did it for the exact reason...
No one has seemed to really figure it out...
A few people have sworn they know...
oh it's cola... or oh it's toasted coconut etc...

Here's all we really know...
It has tobacco and something else "simple" in it.
Ben said it was "simple."
He said his initial customer base kept requesting this flavor...
SO whatever it is... it is something that a whole bunch of people ask for...

So I would assume that it's nothing complicated like chocolate covered cherry graham cracker with oba oba and rose petal...
or something too random like ginger honeysuckle...

I imagine that some of the flavor magic occurs due to Ben's masterful mixing... the VG itself and possibly even the possibility that the flavor concentrate isn't "the brand" everyone else uses.

My best guess was a desert ship tobacco and toasted coconut... but Ben shot that one down ;-)

Well, I got my BB and GJ on Saturday and have been trying to decipher what the heck is in it. And all I can come up with on BB is a tobacco type mixed with a graham cracker and some sort of spice. When I first opened it, that's really all I smelt. I don't know if its because I was tainted by reading it here, or if it was for real. So I gave it a couple of days and it hasn't changed at all, so that's what I'm stayin with. And the GJ to me is a tobacco type flavor also, but mixed with banana.

The vapor production on both are outstanding, the juice is thick, and the flavors are unique. I'll keep them in my rotation and see how I feel when the bottles get low. If I start to get nervous, then I'll know that I like'em enough to keep them around. But I have a feeling that I'll be ordering more of these juices.

Simply put Bobas is a very mild taste somewhat resembling RY4. The longer mine steeped the mellower it got. Actually I wish that it had more flavor to it. To me it tastes alot like a new pack a ciggys just opened with some sweetness finishing it. Granted it is a good juice that I could vape all day (if need be) but I don't understand all the hype about it. It's not all that. I could list several other juices that would prefer over Bobas. I still buy it once in a awhile. The thing is though I don't get a good TH from it. There are several RY4s out there that I prefer much more than Bobas. Bobas does not have a definitive taste to it. It's too mild for me to pin down any definite flavors. All I can say is its got a very mild tobbacco base with a very smooth sweet after taste. It has other flavors but they are very subduded, nothing I can really nail down and idenify. If any that makes any sense.
