Seems like many people regard Boba's from AV as THE juice to end all juices. As a new vaper who's still getting his kit together and hasn't even scratched the surface when it comes to trying the immense variety out there, should I just bite the bullet and buy a 30ml bottle of Boba's while it's on sale today? I'm sitting here with it already in my shopping cart, CC info plugged in, and only a single click from confirming my order. So either stop me with reasons why not, or push me over the edge... GO!



Oh, and if anyone has a coupon code or something that'll knock down the shipping cost or save a noob a few pennies, I won't stop you from sharing ;)

It'll either be disgusting, or become your ALL TIME FAVORITE!!!!!! Juice.
If you don't try it while it's available, then you'll only have second thoughts, doubts and depression.

So Boba's is really that black and white then, you either love or hate it? I mean, I've already got second thoughts, doubts, and depression to last till my dying days, I sure don't need more, lol. :)

Oh. I haven't tried it. And I won't, until AVE proves to be a reliable, professional vendor by keeping it's doors open and juice available.

I don't always have cash available for juice, but I expect anyone doing business to have their products available. That's business.

I don't know about that part... Along with a partner, I run my own IT solutions firm, and as a small business owner I know there's only so much I can do at this level of the game before I spread myself too thin, start making promises I can't keep, and let the quality of my work suffer. There's a really well thought out post here in the juice forum about realistic expectations, give it a read. I'm not going to ignore someone's business because they're not yet "big" enough to operate globally 24/7/365. If they have a quality product or service, it's going to be in demand, and that demand may exceed their ability to provide it, whether that's in terms of operating capital, manpower, or hours of availability. Too many small businesses hit this level and try to expand faster than they should to cover the demand, but they end up having to cut corners, allowing their products or services to drop in quality. If someone is willing to hold themselves to a slower pace of growth even though they could be raking in the dough if they move faster, to me it shows not only responsibility, but genuine desire to continue offering quality over quantity.

I find Boba's Bounty and Gorilla Juice from AVE to be "really good" right out of the mailbox. Having said that, it does go from "really good" to "excellent" after 2 to 3 weeks steeping. I have had nothing but positive experiences with them and everything is handled professionally in my opinion. To me, its a win/win situation. YMMV (in terms of taste, which is subjective). Peace. :2cool:

Totally agree.

I wouldn't say that! I started vaping on Dekang back in the dark days of '09. Tried BB without ever trying another USA made ejuice, and disliked it with a passion. Well, after a year of trying other USA made ejuice I decided to give BB another try and it's now part of my ADV. Taste is subjective, but it also evolves. No different from foods you tried as a youngster and found disgusting. As an adult it's now part of your diet. Give it a try!

Do it! Personally I don't like it at all but it gives you something to compare to that almost anyone that has vaped for more than a few months has tried. A lot of people love it a lot of people hate it, which category do you fall in? If you don't try you won't know. I would order an 18ml of each of the following:
Hype
Boba's
Gorilla Juice
You will like at least one of these. These are thick and strong juices that hold up to high wattage yielding a lot of flavor which is great for a new vaper whose tastebuds are still a little muted from analogs. My money is on hype followed by the Gorilla but who knows.

Agree completely! The evolution of taste.

Well, I've tried a small handful of USA made flavors from Johnson Creek so far, but that's as deep as I've waded into the ocean of flavors out there. I figure I'll test the waters by sticking with the popular juices and bigger names at first till I find three or four I really like and want to use in my regular rotation, then maybe try a new flavor or supplier every now and again in hopes of discovering something great.

In a perfect world, I'd find a straight tobacco, a spiced "exotic" tobacco, a menthol tobacco, a choco/mint tobacco, and a dessert flavor of some variety for my "usuals".

But, with BB having the hype it does, Jefsview's "get it out of your system" makes sense to me. I have the opportunity to get some below regular price, so I may as well bite the bullet. If I don't like it straight out of the mail, I can wait a couple weeks and try it again, I can mix it with others, and if It's just not my thing, I doubt I'll have trouble finding someone willing to trade so I can try something else.

Personally, I'd put BB in the dessert catagory. I really don't taste 'tobacco'. Not saying it's not good, but I would classify it in the tobacco catagory although many seem to. Guess everyone tastes something different. I don't taste raisin either.

I hear a lot about bobas bounty and that's like the only mainstream juice that almost everyone and there dog talks about.
I was wondering other then bobas bounty what is another very popular e liquid in the vape community in still looking for my ADV

The other "big name" I keep seeing is Kringle's Kurse, from Halo. I'm guessing if you're not a fan of peppermint then it's not ADV material, but it's another one that seems to get lots of hype.
