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.

He just nailed it. ^^^^

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 well discussed Juice is RY4 clones (the original RY4 Ruyan #4 is lost forever except to the lucky few that still have some hoarded away someplace) The Really Big RY4 Roundup (long) I am currently starting the epic quest for my choosen RY4 and tobacco juices.

At least a week, two is better. That said, I'll vape it right out of the bottle. It tastes different every time, and every day. I have 3/4 of a bottle of 12mg sitting in my box that I haven't touched for several weeks. I should take it out and see what it's like, I guess.

I vaped BB for a month straight, and I'm seriously sick of it for the time being. Kinda like that time I drank all those martinis at that wedding (I thought I was clever, getting around the no-shots policy with, basically, pure vodka and/or gin. Couldn't eat olives for at least a year after that). Or that time when I was 16, that I drank an entire bottle of Southern Comfort (smelling So Co made me nauseous for YEARS).

my wife can't stand the smell of Shasta cola since she had a session with my Grandmother drinkin SoCo an shasta, the harder SoCo

one o f the things that dothers me about Alien Visions E-Juice is that they have NO description of their juices on the page at all. What is PG Hype? what am I getting? Cake? cola? energy drink? chocolate? pickles??!!?? you have NO IDEA! ugh...
I realize everyones taste is different but come on they know what they mixed together.. or I hope they do anyway.

Do it! I have been hesitant too. I've heard all the hype but have never been able to place an order due to site closures. I finally got in there and ordered some. It arrived very very fast. Not 5 minutes out of the mailbox and it was in my dripper. I took a drag not really expecting anything. Holy jeezis on a razor scooter this stuff is fantastic. Love it!

I started on cheap lava juice, then tribeca for weeks, got sick of it, bought bobas and thought it was just OK... Then I vaped it down and I really missed it. It is really dynamic like others have said. If I would've bailed on it early, I would've missed out on a lot. I have to have it on hand always now. The main thing I realized in the short time I've been vaping is nothing can ruin a fluid like cruddy or faulty equipment... And not steeping for a bit. My brother hates Boba’s Bounty but vapes lemonade like a smoldering hippy - which is nasty to me. ... With all these flavors and combinations available in vaping I wonder how we smoked regular cigarettes with only REGULAR and MENTHOL as choices haha

That's funny. I honestly didn't get a vape-gasm like everyone else seems to, but the more I think about it, I think I would miss it if it were gone :)

Right :) it seems to adjust to my tastes throughout the day. Not too overpowering, not to subtle. I take a couple pulls off my cinnamon roll or a couple other flavors on my 510 occasionally when feeling really frisky, but bounce back to bobas for most of the day. Sometimes a hit tastes like raisin bran with graham crackers, sometimes graham crackers with a little chocolate, sometimes like a cigarette with coconut, sometimes like vanilla with a marshmallow, sometimes like creamy chocolate with raisin bran marshmallows graham crackers with a bit of coconut. And it usually depends on if I am drinking coffee or a good beer.

Had my first experience with BB yesterday.....dripped in a 510 bridgeless atty....
The raisin bran/graham cracker was there....but I also detected a honey undertone....not excessively SWEET, mind you...but pleasant, nonetheless.....
Can't say I'd do this as an ADV.....but it IS a nice change-up from Cuban Coffee...or even CLS!!!
If what everyone says is true...I'll taste "something else....." in BB today!!:D
Happy (vaping) Trails!!

Can anyone help me with the "graham cracker" thing. Graham crackers themselves contain, depending on the brand or recipe, different amounts of cinnamon, brown sugar, honey and some replace the brown sugar and honey with molasses (which can taste a little like raisins.) Some in the minority also contain ginger or allspice and that's what I really can't tolerate. I avoid brands that say "spices" on the ingredients actually. And I've bought graham cracker juices that were so strong with those spices that they nauseated me and the ginger/allspice only got stronger with steeping. So I guess I'm simply asking if anyone detects ginger or allspice in BB. Thanks.

Edit: Oh, and one more question. Are BB and GJ major atty cloggers?

Never noticed a ginger or allspice flavor (dunno if id even recognize it).

And yes, it definitely is a coil gunker, but worth it IMO.

Im in the same shoes as you skymutt. Did you wind up ordering it?

Oh yeah, I sure did. A bunch of other juices I got from someone via the classifieds arrived too, and so did a couple SI Volt bats and clearos another member gave me a super deal on!

I started tasting last night, and didn't want to try the Boba's first for fear it might be so good I'd hate all the others. I started with MBV's pineapple upside down cake, which I think might grow on me, and another one (I forgot which it was) that I just don't like at all. I fought the urge, but lost out and just tasted a few drops of BB about an hour ago and I can't stop vaping it!

I got the graham cracker just from smelling the bottle, and its the first flavor I tasted, followed by the raisin. Then I started getting the raisin bran (and I love the cereal). It keeps morphing on me while I try to nail it down, too. I'll get graham, raisin, lightly burnt raisin, raisin bran, cinnamon raisin, cinnamon graham, and combinations. What's really putting it over the top for me is that at times it tastes exactly like those raisin spice bar "cookies" that have the vanilla icing drizzled on top. It's hitting me exactly like a specific recipe I used to go mad over, and I can't remember if it was the ones I used to get at a local bakery that closed years ago, or the ones the lunch ladies at my high school made. Then there's the very light tobacco taste left behind at the finish of an exhale... Holy fraking WOW, I'm an instant fan.

I just hope I haven't ruined all these other flavors I now have a ton of, let alone ruin me on any others in the future.

I bought a 30ml bottle since everyone seemed to rave about it. It wasn't horrible but didn't really care for it. So I put it away and would try it every so often but it still wasn't tasting that good. Finally one day it just changed and has quickly become my ADV. Ordered a 100ml bottle during the last sale and just ordered another 100ml bottle during this current sale. It got here yesterday :D
For me it really needed to steep but for some reason the second batch I've been able to hit it just fine without steepage.

...now this 30ml bottle of Pluid is freaking horrid. Ain't no amount of steeping going to make this stuff vapable for me.

I took the chance on the Pluid hype. I saw it was available so I bought it before I researched it. After I bought it, I watched Rick's review and found out just how licoricey it was but figured eh wth I'd give it a shot. Tried it and wow they weren't kidding about this stuff it was strong. My boss liked it, so I filled up my protank and left it with him for a week... I still haven't been able to get the Pluid smell or taste out of the damned thing!
For now I'll just tuck the bottle away and maybe trade it or something
