Bobas vs. Legend

[tastyjuice]

I just received my BOBAS I got off the FS/FT forum. I havn't had BOBAS in a long time so Ive vaped a lot of juice since then. I have both LEGEND and BOBAS in my tanks right now, and I gotta say LEGEND beats BOBAS. It just seems BOBAS is one dimensional to me compared to LEGENDS. I really like BOBAS but LEGEND just taste better, especially the after taste. Anyone else feel the same?

 

[wolfie_beast]

Yep. I was a complete Boba's Bounty addict. Now, I guess my taste buds have changed because Legend is my go-to tobacco flavored vape now. The steep time kills me a little, but it's totally worth it!

I seriously don't get the hype about Boba's. It's pretty bland juice to be frank. Sure, it tastes good, but there are MUCH better liquids out there. Glad you found one.

You should also try Serendipity. It actually happened on accident; they left Legend "extracting" for too long and got 'dipity.

 

[wolfie_beast]

Serendipity is next on my HHV to try list! And Sludge. Next paycheck...

For me it's the opposite... I definitely get why folks like legend... it is a great juice... but it has one quality/flavoring that I am not wild about... a roasted "M" Type kind of flavor... The other flavors are fantastic.

Always liked Boba's... I like that it's relatively mild in flavor... haven't had it in quite a while though...

I have bottles of Serendipity, Legend, and Shadow steeping...can't wait to actually try them. I've heard nothing but great things on this forum about all three.

I say try them now. That way you can see what a bit of age really does. For me, it's fun to try a new juice fresh out of the mail box, then a week later, then another few days/week, etc, etc. Without trying it when it's young, you have nothing to gauge just how much and what age does. Also, some juice is better fresh. Especially citrus type juices.

All right, you talked me into it (doesn't take much). I tried all three of them - few drops through an atty - and they all taste great! A little scratchy and acrid yet, made me cough so they still need to marinate a little while. But the flavors are very good. Serindipity had the least scratchiness to it so that one might be ready to vape sooner than the other two.

I agree with this 100%

I tasted some old Shadow that a buddy had (back when it was Shadowfax). It had steeped for at least four to five months. Dude, straight melon. I kid you not. I bugged him and bugged him and asked if he'd accidentally mixed juices. He said he never mixes juices. Tried next to recently steeped Shadow, they tasted NOTHING alike. Straight melon, just like I said. Weird, huh?

How long have you been vaping? I ask because vapor feels much different than cigarette smoke on the throat, as I'm sure you've noticed. Personally, I don't even inhale anymore. I just bring the vapor to the back of my throat and out my nose. The mucous membrane of the sinuses will absorb nicotine almost as readily as the lungs, in my experience.

Also, what MG are you vaping? That will also be a major contributor to throat hit. I vape 12mg, fwiw. If 12mg isn't available I'll go with 10mg (Mom & Pop Vapor Shop) or 18mg.

Glad you found some juice that you like. HHV is a clear winner to a whole lot of people. For good reason, too; the juice is just good!

Been vaping for a little over a month now. I've been buying my juices from goodejuice (they're 5 minutes from my house) and also ordered from Zeus E Juice before getting my order from HHV last week. Almost everything I've bought I've tried right out of the gates and found that almost all of them have needed a couple weeks of steep time to get that dry, burning, scratchy TH to dissipate entirely, with the exception of Congo Craze - that stuff is great right out of the store. I don't inhale all the way either; I just let it hit the back of my throat the way you described and exhale. If it makes that itchy dry burn and I cough, I let it steep more.

That is weird! Was it enjoyable?

Nope, not for me. I'm not a melon guy.

Lucky you living 5 minutes from GeJ!! Have you tried their NET (Natural/Extracted Tobacco) line? Patriot, Vita Bella, Acadia Gold, Wild Turkey, GJ4 and some others make up their NET line.

Hop on over to the 'Natural Tobacco' thread in this sub forum. It's a huge thread, no need to read the whole thing, but maybe the last couple of pages. You'll get a good idea of what's out there and also, if you really like tobacco, some like minded people in that regard.

I'm not really, either. Although sometimes I like to drip a little for a change of pace. I do have a couple of melon juices like Watermelon and Big Melons by Vapor Craze sold through 310vapers. But I'm generally a NET vaper.

I apologize for completely derailing your thread, OP.

Yes sir, I have. I have Pariot, Vita Bella, Natural Perique, and their RY4. Not a loser in the bunch. Their RY4 is my ADV along with Congo Craze. They have an overwhelming variety of NET's, and I've yet to try their GJ4, apple cured, etc. I could probably spend all day in there vaping everything they have out on their sampling table. And sorry, forgot to say I vape 18mg. at 50/50.

Apple Cured from GeJ is my favorite apple tobacco juice. Just fantastic. Join us in the Natural Tobacco thread.

Im gonna go out on a limb and say LEGEND even produces more vapor than BOBAS. Ive been vaping them side by side since yesterday. The BOBAS has grown on me a little more then yesterday but LEGEND is still my top choice. BOBAS has a way of lingering in your mouth tricking you into needing to vap more to fulfill that taste. I also get the smell of BOBAS on my hands creating that same craving. If you smell it or taste it you want more of it.

I've had Shadow that was that old and there was nothing melon about it. Creamy vanillaish small font tobacco.
