Well, I heard all the hype and how hard it has been to get recently so today at precisely 0800 hrs, I logged on to AVE and ordered myself some Boba's Bounty and some Gorilla juice. Between ordering that and some of Janty's RY4 I feel like I have move a big step towards vaping with the big boys.

Is it weird that I look at that as kind of a milestone in my vaping life just like buying my first mod?:vapor:

No, it's just weird that you felt like you needed to start a new thread instead of using one of the other Boba Bounty's thread that are currently active.

Well ya done good to get in and get some Boba's and GJ, I've been wanting to do that for at least a month. I do still have some Janty's RY4 but it takes a back seat to BB and GJ. BB is just good, but to me, GJ tastes like nothing but tobacco after using it all day long. It got kinda annoying after awhile. I can see how Janty's RY4 got to be so popular, it's tasty.

Just curious, was Boba's Bounty a popular juice before PBusardo started going nuts over it?

I'm honestly skipping Boba's, along with AVE's website inconsistency and shoddy service, and just going for something I've heard was similar - El Kamino from GLV. I don't know what I'm missing if I haven't tried it, right? :p

Describe the difference between El Kamino and Boba. Por favor.

They taste nothing alike. EK is a tobacco with fairly strong spice notes, like gingerbread. I liked EK, but not enough to re-order at the moment.

BB is more complex, its also a tobacco and while everyone tastes different things I personally get honey/raisin/mild graham. Thing about BB is that even though its 100% vg and even at only the 6mg which I vape it has a strong throat hit and robust flavor...vapor production is off the charts.

Unless and until AVE will let me order juice whenever I want...say 2 am which is when I'm up and home from work, I will most likely never order anything from them. I don't blame them or anything. Obviously they're a rather small operation with an extremely large customer base to be able to fill their own order capacity in as little as an hour a day. But I can get great flavors from 1000 other vendors whenever I want. AVE juices seem to have a factor of "exclusivity" that would just make me feel pretentious if I were to buy from them.

In other words, getting something like Boba's Bounty is a reason to brag to others, while getting something from HHV, MBV, or HDV is a reason to refer others so they can share in your joy. When AVE becomes more like that, I'll give their juices a shot.

I totally feel ya here, but....I have a history of participating in nerd-sport (i.e. comic book collecting, Star Wars stuff, etc.), so getting my hands on something like Boba's (I mean c'mon...it's named after Boba Fett. What self-respecting fanboy could pass that up?), Radiator Pluid, etc., I just kinda, well, HAVE to try em. If only 'cause they are hard to get. So I can shriek about how they didn't live up to the hype. Or rave about how they did. Either way I'm pretty much fine with, but my inner nerd is on the bridge in his Darth Vader underoos demanding "Bring me that juice, Commander! There will be no one to stop us this time!"

They'll get caught up eventually and be open round the clock. It's just gonna take a little while. The demand is high for two reasons right now. First all of us junkies got really low or ran out and made a big fuss about it. This fuss was noticed by people who are new or have never tried it. They got to thinking " Man I gotta try some of this stuff, it must be awesome." When the doors finally open there is a stampede from both camps. The dust will settle. It's happened before and it'll probably happen again. If you get hooked on it, be sure and stay well stocked. I ran out once about two years ago. Since then I've survived every drought including this one. I did get down to about 30ml, making me very nervous. Luckily I scored this weekend and got shipping notice today. Got an HHV order in the mail today. Somehow I ran out of Dragon's Fire while being obsessed with Boba's. won't let that happen again either.

I just became a sheep and ordered my first bottles of BB and GJ. Tiny 6ml bottles, though. Want to try them out first.

You probably will not be disappointed. I LOVE BB. El Kamino was a HUGE let down. I doubt I will vape it again. Going to give it to a friend.

I sympathize with your inner/outer nerd. For pretty much the same reason, I had to order two things from Diamond Vapors: Bacca's Bacco (haven't tried it yet as I'm letting that steep a while), and Kryptonight (sadly tastes like Sprite). I saw those names and instinctively clicked "add to cart." When I got my order confirmation e-mail, I read it and asked "Wait...why did I think these were a good idea?"
