Been there, bathed that. Def. Not a noob at this. Still not a very good flavor. All i get is dry raisin bran. If thats what it is, thats fine. But IMO, if that is what it is, then why all the hype over it? raisin bran cereal is kind of the ....... uncle noone wants to claim of the cereal world, unless you have trouble taking a grumpy growler in the morning. so, vaping the stuff would have never been high on my list. sweet tobacco,honey,graham crackers, would be something i am interested in, hence me ordering a big bottle after reading a metric ton of reviews on the stuff. but, all i get is raisin bran.How this can be classified as a tobacco vape is beyond me.

i am asking if this stuff starts out as this flavor, then morphs into more of a tobacco vape. based on the reviews, it changes drastically over time. is this just part of "the change" or is this what i can expect out of this juice?

because it's rich/dark, and no one can come close to this flavor profile... Boba's Bounty didn't get this reputation for no reason.

Keep in mind that the hype is old and still carried around, and there have been quite a few vendors that have emerged that have made (subjectively) better tobacco flavored ejuices, like Jango, OOHRAH, El Kamino, etc. Boba's WAS the best thing since sliced bread in that category; that doesn't mean it still is.

I'd recommend giving it some time, but its entirely possible you're one of the people who don't care for Boba's, everyone is different and many people either can't stop vaping it(me) or don't care for it, and everywhere in between.

You should be happy, you made the mistake of buying a large bottle of untested juice, it just so happens that the juice you bought is quite easy to get rid of via classifieds etc. Otherwise you could be stuck with a big bottle of something no-one wants.

Glass half full.

There's a new thread (whether good or bad) about it nearly everyday. Hardly old hype.

Perpetuated hype. It's out-dated and there are better options.

Just my opinion.

El Kamino is So freaking good! I just Karate chopped a 50ml bottle in record time. It's nice to have a Boba style juice that's not 100% VG and taste more... "mature" IMO. Even though I strictly Drip I like there VG/PG ratio over the 100% VG from AVE. The flavor and TH is just right. Plus $20 for 50ml is too good to pass up. Their Deadly Sin is killer too.

YMMV I guess. I generally feel the same way about anything 100% VG. Tonight I ordered 3 of the smallest bottle sizes from AVE just because I am curious to try it since so many love it..but I am cautious about the size because I typically don't care for juices with no PG..aka no flavor (for me).

I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the Bobas. Great flavor and nice throat hit, and I only vape it in 12 mg.

im think i may be starting to come around to this flavor. still not convinced that its a tobacco flavor, but that might just be my tatses.im going to classify this in my own vape box as a cereal vape. FWIW, you shouldnt worry about any muted flavor with this juice being 100% VG. it def. has plenty of flavor. i generally vape 50/50 pg/vg, and havent found this to be lacking in the flavor dept.

Update: After reading last night I pick Boba's back up and tried it again. The oatmeal raisin is still there, just not as pronounced. The tobacco flavor is almost gone. For the first time I'm getting the honey, not just the taste but the feel of honey. The vapor seems thicker and wetter. I liked it before, but now I'm finally starting to get what the fuss is about.

It's just the right combination of flavors for some people. I feel bad for the people that don't like it, I wish they could taste what everyone else does.
