I find when I try to use Bobas in a tank it never feeds right, or if your are just dripping in a carto it has trouble soaking into the poly fill. I always use it with an atomizer. You can try to thin it down with distilled water or PG. Be careful though I added distilled water to it once and it ruined the flavor, I think I added too much.

I have had Boba's Bounty in my IClear 30 for two days with no wicking issues whatsoever. I have also had it in a Kanger EVOD with one flavor wick removed for superior wicking action! The IClear works better then the Nova as it has more wicks for the thickness that is Boba's. You will still have to give it a bit of a "swirl" once you get down around 1-1.5ml.

Happy Vaping!

I am a regular vapor of Boba's and it's cousin Gorilla Juice. I have used it on a Vivi Nova, iClear 30, various atomizers (HH 357, cisco 901, IKV 901 and 510), carto tanks using various cartos (Ikenvape Fusions, boges, boge fusion, Smoketech), plain cartos (smoketech emdcc, boges, joye), and BCC tanks like the Kanger EVOD and the T3/MT3.

Only device for me which had bad wicking issues were the Vivi Novas. Well to be fair it was a race to either have wicking issues or gunk up the coil. Either way I am not a big fan of sucking a watermelon through a straw. If you choose to go the Vivi Nova route I recommend that you stay below 7.5 watts because you will gunk up the coil and get a nasty burnt taste out of it. Unfortunately Boba's only starts to get really fun at around 7.5-8 watts.

iClear 30 does a great job. No real wicking issues to speak of but you still have to be wary of gunking up the coil. It can definitely take more power than the Vivi Nova because it's a dual coil device.

Atomizers are fine for BB but tough to drip while driving (I should know. I've tried (sshhh))

The Kanger tanks were fine for a while but I had a string of bad luck with the EVODS. All the Kanger BCCs use a very short silica wick. I filled a few tanks with juice and since I have several tanks in rotation they sat for about a week without use. When I tried using them again the silica unraveled and shot straight into my mouth and lungs. I started rebuilding the coil and wick with cotton but it always imparted a funky taste to my juices. I've set them all aside for now and moved on to my current favorites. (see cartomizer/tanks)

My current favorite/s are cartomizers/tanks. As long as you properly prime your carto you should not have issues with wicking. I have not yet tried to punch my own but the pre punched cartos I've bought from Ikenvape, Carolina Vapes, and the ones that came w/ the Boge F16 tank had absolutely no wicking issues in my experience but YMMV.

All of the above are just my personal opinions so please don't take offense if your preferences differ.

Thanks a lot wookie, lots of great info right there. I suppose I can go to the 7.5-8 watt range with an iclear 30 and enjoy the bobas, which is kind of the point :)

I haven't tried the ikenvape cartos yet, can't seem to find any in stock :/ so I hope I will soon.
I think I'll start out with the iclear and keep my carto Pyrex tank for the cracking juices, then try kanger pro tank once I get my hands on one of those.

Any more info and experience is welcome
