I didn't like Boba's. People say it tastes like Raisin Bran cereal and its kind of true. That said, Raisin Bran is a pretty lame cereal lol.

I'm giving it as much time to steep as needed but I don't think the flavor is going to instantly turn enjoyable for me. It tastes like Almonds + Vinegar + a little bit of sweet honey and I'm still puzzled by the hype. Different strokes, I guess.

Definitely different strokes. I remember I read reviews on the ave website (when they had reviews) before and after trying boba's. The one I agreed with the most about the flavor was this person that said it tasted like bran cereal and such... however his was a negative review, and I was happily enjoying boba's bounty agreeing with his description of the flavor.

rounding third and heading home...
after smoking menthol for 45 years I discovered vaping and this money pit called ECF. ordered the wrong bobas from the bogus company -hated it. realized my mistake and ordered the correct bobas, tried it and thought "what's the big deal?". put it away in the steeping shelf and forgot about it for a long, long time(months). and the a funny thing happened, my tastes totally changed- no longer did I even enjoy menthol. straight tobaccos tasted great. found the bobas and tried it again and now it's " wow, this is delicious". now along with virgin vaper's kona coffee milkshake it is a MUST have- sometimes it takes awhile to actually appreciate some juices after destroying your taste buds for so many years.......

My first order of Boba's Bounty was for 30ml. My next order was 100ml. I plan on ordering another 100ml when I am half finished with the first 100ml...then, rinse and repeat. It is my ADV.

I have tried most of the tobacco flavors from my local vendors, as well as a few of the top-rated, oft-mentioned tobaccos here on ECF, but keep coming back to Boba's. YMMV, but I am very happy I found it early.

I got mine the other day. Vaping it right now. Tastes like maple syrup and raisins to me :) Lol, doesn't seem like it fits anyone elses description but I like it!

I would be in heaven if I ever found a juice that tasted like that. I've always been scared away from BB due to some saying they taste graham cracker. The thought of the spices in those... I think ginger... scares me away. And other describe strong vanilla which I wouldn't like either. I've also read recently that even long time BB vapers are starting to taste vinegar in it with the most recent batches. So add those all that together and I haven't taken the plunge. But, oh, you're description sounds sooooo good it makes my mouth water. Actually I'm imagining that combo being like mild molasses... love that stuff.

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 ;)

Just push the button and end the thought of wondering and find out. I had heard all the hype and when it last became available I had to find out for myself. So I got a small bottle and when it arrived opened it up took a whiff and said OK smells really good like graham crackers. Vaped some and thought OK but what's the big deal? Well put it down went back to it a few times and 160ml later don't want to be without it. I swear every time I vape it the flavor is just a bit different in a good way. It plays on how the taste buds are at the moment. So just do it.

Bobas is a really shifty juice. The aforementioned raisins and maple syrup and graham cracker favors do present themselves, but the mix of each is constantly changing. Sometimes it's graham cracker and raisin. Sometimes it's a smokey vanilla. All depends on whats been on your palette previously. As a former cigar smoker, there are certainly sticks that present their best qualities after a good meal. To me, Boba's is that kind of juice.
