I'm about to order Boba's Bounty from alien Vapors, and I'm sure I'll be disappointed because there is a lot of hype for this flavor. I had the same problem with the first Spiderman movie with Toby McGuire. But I'm only getting a 5 ml bottle and a few other assorted flavors just to try them out. Almost all of my liquids have come from NWvapors, so I think I need to at least try a couple others. I really like NWVapors, but I have nothing else to compare it to really at this point.

I'd order from Alien Visions if I were you (if BB is available), since Alien Vapors is counterfeit BB.

Which W2V juices have you tried? For real tobacco flavor, I'd put W2V Signature blends over Halo any day of the week. That's not a knock on Halo. I like its juices and agree that they're quality, but I wouldn't recommend them to a tobacco fan.

W2V has been hit and miss for me. The former Vapenstein aromatics are awesome. I had issues with other options I tried, however: Morley, for instance, tastes like unscented mosquito spray.

All I'm trying to point out is that one person's opinion on a juice or a vendor is nothing more than highly personal and for them to claim to be trying to "warn" others that "xyz" vendor's juices aren't any good despite popular opinion is quite ludicrous.

ok, and the point of pointing that out is??......other than to troll??

in case you forget the definition:
a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog)

so you come into a thread and say "this thread is pointless!" and "you are being ludicrous!".....the end.
well.......i'm not really sure what to call that? other than a troll? what would you call it?

@mmikee
people do care. not as much when only one or two people are saying it, still.......look at what Exile just said for example. he's gonna try some new juice just because my opinion pushed him a little more in a direction. he was already leaning that way of course, but my recommendation pushed him even more towards a decision.
like i said before. if i had seen a few negative threads about HHV. then i would have saved some money. problem is, all i saw was praise and good reviews. i didn't see anything bad.

@exile
hope you like them. let me know what you think.

@jerms
i get that people can have a juice however they want.
i was just trying to say that i let it steep for the proper amount of time (the time i was told from heather). so i didn't appreciate some saying that i didn't like it, only because i'm an amatuer, and didn't let it steep enough. i'm sure that i still won't really like it months from now.

*just fyi to people. i never said HHV was bad. it's decent. i'm just saying i think it's waaaaaay over hyped. it's just ok imho.*

just my opinion.....but i think 30 days in nonsense. i think this is something that advocates of HHV(and other vendors) say in order to defend a juice they like.
why do i think this? because every vendor i order from(that makes to order) i always email them directly, and ask how long i should steep. well heather herself (or at least an employee that answers questions for the website) told me 2-3 weeks should be great.
I can agree while still supporting HHV. If you need to steep a juice for 30 days it belongs in the trash.

I agree. I can love HHV and it matters nothing to me that someone else might not share my enthusiasm. That isn't trolling, it's difference of personal opinion. I'd never want to shut someone up for disagreeing with me. Total insecurity.

rounding third and heading home...
1.why is it when anyone disagrees with anybody it is always labeled "trolling"? just because someone doesn't agree with a premise and does more than once doesn't make them a troll. it makes them as opinionated as everyone else. so what, we're not curing cancer here we're talking about ejuice- people need to chill.
2.steeping is garbage- if a juice tastes like garbage day one it has never tasted so much better after x number of days. sorry, i'll let the highbrows talk about steeping, I just want good juice to vape-from the beginning.
3. sure wish I could appreciate Bobas Bounty the way a vast number on this forum does. it's ok and if I were on a deserted island I would vape it, but it was such aletdown when I finally got it and tried it. it showed me that NO ONE can tell me what i'll like and not like. and there is the rub of vaping, you have to try a lot of juice before you find the ones that do it for you. reviews about taste are worthless to me.

A lot of these new users bring in forum attitudes previous to this one and quickly learn the etiquette. Not every one is directly attacking their threads, and a lot of these new posters need to slow their roll and relax a wee bit.
I'll happily restate this on any forum, whether i have 10,000 posts or one. "I'd never want to shut someone up for disagreeing with me." A forum where this isn't acceptable isn't acceptable to me, so be it.

.............................

I feel your pain.

Back 2010? Nothing but humble older folks here. I was like a loner 23 year old on here. People were actually surprised I had picked up vaping and loved it cause of my age.

Fast forward 3 years later, forum attitude has changed A LOT. I came back and about left again. A TON more bickering, fighting, and the likes. Makes me wanna start a old forum user group or something. I miss all of those people :(

And sorry sorry offtopic I know D: Just my 2cents
