The first time I ordered Boba's Bounty, it was the nectar of the gods everyone on ECF said it would be, full of that sweet graham crackery, honey goodness. The next several bottles were the same, and steeping them only made the flavor better. I never understood why is was sold as a tobacco flavor when it clearly was anything but...
Now, every time I get a new bottle, it tastes like tobacco. And not JUST tobacco - burnt tobacco. At first I thought it needed to steep, so I let it sit for a week. When it tasted the same, I let it sit again. After two weeks, I got fed up and sold it to a friend to claimed he liked the taste. He was just coming from analogs anyway, so I'm sure it wasn't so bad for him.
Next bottle I got, same thing. I let it steep for a week, checked it, and still hated it. I gave that bottle to the same friend and contacted Ben at AVE about the issue, and he said to send it back. Too late. My buddy vaped it all.
Third bottle: one more try... Still tasted like burnt tobacco. I didn't try to steep that one before giving it to a different friend who recently converted to e-cigs.
So... Has anyone else had this problem, or is it just me? I'm wondering if AVE has good days and bad days at mixing or what else could be happening to turn the best flavor I ever tasted into complete garbage. I've been thinking about ordering another bottle to see if anything's changed since AVE has been down for a while, but I'm still a little skeptical. If anyone else has dealt with that unusual burnt tobacco flavor one time and gotten a new bottle of the sweet, sweet goodness that is (or should be) Boba's Bounty, I'd like to hear your experiences.
