I hope it does grow on me, like everyone says it does. Because I don't reallly like it...... I know I must be CRAZY!!!
will get back to you on it. trying out a different tobacco right now. But bounty hunter is one of my favorite. I don't like cinnamon vapes and I really liked it. I remember the honey buttery qualities 
I don't get any cinnamon either. What I get is the cereal,vanilla,and call me crazy,but I think like a black cherry once in a while. Who knows,though. Mysterious.

Morgy,
I don't know the ingredients or the recipe in total, but some flavors are more likely, others less certain.
There's definitely a tobacco of some kind---can't be sure what variety (burley, turkish, etc.), but I'm certain it's not virginia. Might be a blend of varieties that provides the baseline. I don't think tobacco absolute was used, however, because there's no ashiness. There's also a vanilla component, but I'm thinking more along the lines of vanilla custard with a just a smidgen of caramel or toffee to achieve that cake batter/cookie flavor. I'd also guess a sweetener---but probably not sucralose or ethyl maltol, more likely cotton candy, toasted marshmallow, or something similar that imparts a subtle flavor in addition to providing sweetness. If the sweetener were catalyn cream, that would contain cinnamon, which would explain your picking up that flavor. I can't taste any cinnamon at all, however, so I don't actually believe that catalyn cream is used. Other trace flavors may be in the recipe mix as well---perhaps something tangy or fruity in a very subtle way, such as just a tiny bit of lemon or even raspberry, but only a drop or two, sufficient to provide a little zing, but not enough to make your brain say "ah, tart fruit." Anyway, the flavors earlier in the paragraph are the elements my palate can identify.
The thing about Bounty Hunter is that besides the base ingredients, the rest of the flavors aren't used as flavors, per se, but rather as subtle tonalities that tease the palate rather than announcing plainly what they are. Bounty Hunter is very well-blended and unified, so that the ingredients function as a whole rather than as individual flavor components, which is a more common effect in most juice blends with multiple flavors. Nothing stands out in Bounty Hunter. Everything contributes to the smoothness---even the tobacco bite and very slight tangy zing end up adding to rather than disrupting the overall smoothness.
I don't claim that my palate is extraordinarily sensitive or uncannily accurate in deciphering flavors. Lord knows I could be wrong about what I imagine myself tasting. I do think on this one I'm in the ballpark, though.

Wow, why thank you, I love this review, a lot.. I have to say I agree with you, spot on, about it containing one or two drops of a tart, citrus fruit flavor to give it a zing. I was vaping at almost 7v's, so I was probably wrong with my guess. A little too much heat to describe it.. But, I absolutely agree with the vanilla, and TOFFEE. It taste like one of those olden day penny candies, that's like a hard caramel, but has a toffee flavor. I'm with you on not the virginia or capree, it's a bold and robust tabacco. Iv'e got to go with the marshmellow on the sweetness besides the vanilla. But, I have heard reviews who beleive it's cinnamin just like me.. I swear it has vanilla, cinnomin and butter.. Just my opinion. But I have only been vaping for half a day...
I received my Bounty Hunter exactly a month ago and when I got it, I could not for the life of me understand the hype. I tasted nothing, absolutely nothing. I let it steep for a week, tried it again, still nothing. Another week went by, tried it again and this time, there was a taste but I couldn't detect anything recognizable so I filled up a carto and stuck it in my bag for back up and kinda forgot about it. Yesterday, I was going thru cartos trying to find one I could drip some coffee into and I came upon this one that tasted faintly like cinnamon and something else. I racked my brain trying to remember what juice it could be, I don't have any juices with cinnamon in them except apple pie and this wasn't apple pie. Then it occurred to me, it must be BH! FINALLY, this stuff has steeped enough to actually have a taste and it steeped in the carto?! Is that possible?? And I like it. It definitely cleanses the palette so when I can't taste my coffee juice anymore, I'm grabbing the BH carto and vaping it for a while, brings my coffee flavor back to life.
So if anyone is questioning whether BH needs to steep, I would answer YES and for a looong time. I'm not a fan of juices that have to steep, especially one this popular, but since I'm about to start diying, I guess I'd better get used to it.

Gene has been so overwhelmed with orders in the past couple of months that his stock of already-steeped, ready-to-go juice may be way down. I've not noticed any difference after steeping in any of my numerous bottles of NiteLite liquids, but they weren't ordered recently. Maybe the new batches are fresh and need time to develop their flavors.
If two of you on this page alone taste cinnamon in Bounty Hunter, perhaps I'm wrong. If cinnamon is indeed one of the ingredients, then it must be subtle, or I would surely pick up a hint of it.

i taste a marshmallow or vanilla. bounty hunter is my all day vape and I love it
ETA I don't taste cinnamon at all and I love it right out of the mailbox, but after steeping it's flavor changes a bit and is a different kind of yummy. I also have the 95% VG kind too and I like the stronger flavor but I am finding VG lacks the throat hit I like which is too bad because too much PG makes my head and throat hurt.
1000 times better than smoking anyway!

OK, I just have to say I know why sometimes I'm getting cinnamon and other times (thank you Xaria!) angel food cake. When I vape it in a Boge SR - angefood cake but when I vape it in a Smoktek LR dual coil - cinnamon. So there you have it! Resistance does matter where flavor is concerned (I've been struggling to understand this resistance thing).
Regarding steeping: Gene has stated in emails to individual customers that he doesn't mix any retail juice on-site. He has worked out the recipes and hired a "major U.S. juice manufacturer" (I don't know who that is) to supply NiteLite with pre-mixed bottles of juice for his stock. NiteLite's juices are not mixed-fresh-to-order, but arrive already bottled about every two weeks.
That does not mean, however, that NiteLite liquids don't need steeping. Pre-mixed juices may arrive at a vendor's location only four or five days after they were mixed by the source supplier, and if they are then immediately sold and shipped out to customers, they are still essentially fresh (or "immature") when we get them and may need additional steeping time for the flavors to meld and the juice to fully mature.
Unlike most vendors---who tend to withhold information, leaving consumers at least somewhat in the dark about what goes on in their businesses behind the scenes---VapourWorld.co.uk is unusually open and thorough in disclosing both information and advice to customers about its products. VapourWorld plainly states on its web site that the eliquid it sells is authentic Dekang and comes straight from the Dekang factory in China already bottled and custom-labeled. The text goes on to advise customers that steeping may be required for maximum flavor, since the juice is still very fresh, even though it's pre-mixed.
My own experience with steeping is all over the map. Some juices I've bought benefit dramatically from steeping, which changes both their color and flavor markedly. Other juices look and taste exactly the same to me on Day 1, Day 30, or Day 300. I haven't personally noticed any changes over time in the color or flavor of my many bottles of NiteLite juice---they have always seemed good to go right out of the mailbox---but that may not be true for others, as seems obvious from some of the posts in this and other threads.
