Boba's from the twilight zone

[hrtim]

After hearing all the good things about Boba's Bounty, I decided I just had to try it out.
My all day vape is called "Primo" from All About Vapor in Round Rock, TX. They are a rapidly expanding custom mix shop and are always busy. I have been told the Primo is their version of BB. I can't say for sure.

Anyway, I ordered30ml of BB from AVE back on Aug. 26th and received it a few days later. IT came in a blue capped bottle with it's born on date and other info on the label.
Everything looks good except that I noticed that it actually came from alien Vapor, not Alien Vision. Are these the same companies?

To my taste, it is putridly awful. My wife says it smells bad. Something like rotten strawberries. When I vape my Primo, I get lots of "that smells really good" responses.

Trying to sleuth this thing out to see if I got a counterfeit juice, I tried logging on to Alien Vapor's site and they say they have never heard of me. The same with Alien Vision.

Alien Vapor doesn't even list Boba's in their product line.

Here is my order confirmation with them. The personal info has been redacted.

What the heck is going on here. I would really like to taste some real BB just to see what the fuss is all about. I'm pretty sure what I have, ain't it.

Any light you could shed on my dark cavern of confusion would be most appreciated.

Pretty sure you went to the wrong site, brotha...

Alien Visions E-Juice

 

[BlueSnake]

I have no idea what you got but it is definitely Boba's Bounty. For one thing that is definitely the wrong company and number two Boba's is 100% VG.

Here's where you want to go: Alien Visions E-Juice

If you read on the site they are out of stock for a few days. Read on the site for stock updates and ordering times.

Added: Whatever you got is not available on that site any longer.

You can also get it here: https://smoktek.3dcartstores.com/Bobas-Bounty-E-Liquid--by-Alien-Visions_p_177.html

They sell authentic Boba's too.

Fixed that for you to head off any confusion.

You shouldn't say you ordered that from AVE when you obviously didn't.

 

[Underwhelmed]

Yep, that's a bogus knock-off juice. Boba's is 100% VG. It doesn't come any other way.

AVE does have re-sellers for their juice, but that's not one of them.

AVE was closed during the time you bought that and no one had any BB in stock. They are out of stock again now, but you can get some from-
Alien Visions Boba's Bounty

or
Boba's Bounty E-Liquid - by Alien Visions

I don't think he is deliberately trying to mislead. I think he just got scammed by an unscrupulous copy-cat and just trying to figure it all out.

 

[gthompson]

There should be a sticky about Alien Vapors. They've ripped off a lot of folks.

I understand, but he said "Alien Visions", when his link takes you to "Alien Vapors".

 

[damthisisfun]

That just aint right..........

Yes, he got hosed.

 

[CayCay]

I'm sorry about your knock-off. I have been meaning to visit the shop in round rock, a few others have talked praise about it too. I'll have to check out the juice you love.

Google Alien Vapor and this is what comes up, 1st hit on the page:

Alien Vapor Signature Flavors. Check out our outstanding collection of flavors including Boba's Bounty and Gorilla Juice. Don't see your favorite flavor?

These guys are obviously rip-off artists. Avoid.

Pathetic. Sounds like a bunch of winners to me.

Thanks for the responses.

Since their log in procedure or password retrieval doesn't even recognize me, I'm betting a refund is out of the question.

I don't have a clue how I wound up at Alien Vapor.

I'm going to try to return it but my hopes aren't very high that anything will come of it.

Live and learn....

 

[gthompson]

Don't feel too bad. You aren't the first, and probably not the last, to fall for that.

If they don't accept the return, maybe a CC dispute would work? Wouldn't this come under some type of misrepresentation?

Excellent question!

Unfortunately, he paid for juice, and they sent him juice.
