can't taste Boba's

[Russ8877]

I started vaping about 3-4 weeks ago.

Boba's @ 24mg was my ADV till I finished the 30ml bottle,then Fire & Ice @ 12mg. I found the throat hit and flavor just as gratifying reguardless of the nic drop. I decided to drop the nic again and ordered the 6mg Boba's. It came in the mail yesterday along with a new LR atty. I tore into it right away, longing for that Boba's flavor and curious about the results with the upgraded atty.

Well, I saw vapor, but didn't taste hardly anything. I swaped back to the standard atty and driped the boba's into it. Less vapor, slightly more flavor but still a very weak throat hit and weak flavor. The Boba's came in a new style bottle that is TWICE as much juice (reguardless of them both being 30ml). It has a screw on nozzle now, and the bottle is extreamly hard to squeze, to the point it takes two hands to squeze out more than one drop. Is this new, or is it the way he packages a diluted 6mg juice?

So esentially I have several questions.
1. does the boba's need to steep for a couple weeks before I try it again?
2. does nic level alter throat hit and flavor as drastically as I'm thinking?
3. do the LR attys decrease flavor and throat hit on some or all juices?

I tried the F&I also in the LR atty. It produced plenty (if not more) vapor, but seemed muted and weak on flavor and throat hit.

I think some of Boba's flavor is in its tobacco/nicotine part. I asked once why they don't offer 0mg and they told me the tobacco flavor part has nicotine so they can't make it without that. I agree with you. I bought 6mg Boba's and was disappointed with the flavor - and I do mean flavor, not TH - I expected low TH but not the flavor drop vs the higher nic level Boba's I had previously.

Someone else will have to answer on Boba's needing to steep. I think I have read a few posts where people do have to let it steep for a while.
But if you have been vaping for 3-4 weeks your taste buds are starting to change some what too, I have lost the love of coffee taste myself as I am on week 4 of vaping and I am chalking it up to taste bud change from being off of analogs.

My 12mg or 18mg Boba's did not need to steep to be tasted. This is a juice that cannot be made in 0mg because the tobacco flavoring has the nicotine. So 6mg seems to have less flavor than 12mg.

Nic level always alters throat hit since nic level IS the throat hit. 0mg juices have no TH though some flavors might have a throat sensation and that would still be there (flavors like mint, menthol, pepper, ginger, cinnamon, other spices, some liquor flavors). But with non-tobacco juices, lowering the nicotine mainly just removes hit, not flavor.
