Ok, I let it sit in dark closet for a week and a day, put about three ml in a brand new vivi nova 2.5 tank and a brand new 1000 mah twist. It taste just like a swisher sweet cigar to me, not what I was expecting. Definitely not my cup of tea so to say. It's not bad mind you and I know a lot of you swear by this. Back into the closet it goes, maybe it will grow on me. On to try the Gorilla juice that's been in the closet for almost a week now.

i've smoked swisher sweets and it doesn't taste like that all to me; not saying your crazy, bobas is different for everyone; i taste a lot of honey with light tobacco whereas my coworker tried it with the very same bottle and thought it tasted like beer lol

I have Bobas loaded in 3 different pvs and each is different flavor. None are bad, some are very good. It's amazing what a difference the delivery method makes! I should mention that I'm using, generally, an ego twist and turn the dial up and down to get the different flavors, but whether it's in a cartomizer or clearomizer or dripping, all can deliver a different taste.
I could be crazy too :blink: :p

I just got my first order from AVE a few days ago, and my wife and I tried the Boba's dripped in an HH.357 on my Provari. What she described to me that she tasted was NOTHING like what I tasted... Now I fully understand how we get so many different points-of-view in juice reviews :)
FYI, my wife described it as reminding her of a cigarette, while I wouldn't describe it as a tobacco vape at all unless I knew it was supposed to be. Either way, we went through the sample size pretty quick :)

Boba's Bounty changes. It really does. It's not even steeping that does it. As someone else said, you can have the same bottle in 3 different devices and get 3 distinct flavors. I've tasted everything from honey to vanilla to cereal. I think also whatever you've just ate/drank has a drastic effect on the flavor as well. Give it time. Most people grow to love it if they go back to it a few times. I know that sounds silly, but far too many people have had similar experiences to deny it.

Or it may just not be your thing, which is okay too. :)

Two things.

1. The bottle of boba's I just received doesn't have as much flavor as the previous bottles have had. I think you're doing the right thing with the steeping - I'm pretty sure with the high demand that we're currently getting VERY fresh juice.

2. It just so happens that I got a brand new Viva Nova tank in the mail last night. I filled it with one of my favorite juices (besides boba's), let it sit for a few minutes, set my device on a very low voltage and vaped a few times until I was sure it was wicking properly. Then I raised to voltage up to normal and the taste was terrible. It's that old "needs to be broken in" taste. I'm sure it will be fine in a couple of days...

Have some patience and keep trying. Boba's is delicious. I've never had anyone try it and not like it.

I got bottles of gorilla juice and boba's bounty in last friday. I opened them up on Sunday, and OMG.

I am so ridiculously annoyed. I did not want to like this stuff. It's just juice! How good could it be? I won't become one of those avejuice.com stalkers dying for the link to come back so I can buy more.

And yet, I have vaped nothing else since...mostly the boba's. I think the GJ needs more time to steep, I'm not getting banana yet.

It's not just the flavor, the throat hit and mouth feel are just extraordinary. And since it's slightly sweet, it works great from morning to night (whereas I normally would vape coffee flavors all morning, ry4's/tobacco's in the afternoon, and sweet stuff at night).

Now my main question is...how big of a bottle can I buy of this stuff?

The max is 100ml bottles, I think. Don't quote me on that. :D

I got my first Boba's early this week. For some reason, it tasted like Gorilla Juice with more of a tobacco taste. It's now steeping. I'll try again next week and see what it tastes like then. It's good though and I like it so far, but I don't think it's going to replace my GJ for now. :D

Sign up for a bulk account and you can order by the litre (1,000 mls). The bulk purchase portion of the site has been down for a little while, though.

That'd be dangerous :). I think the 100mls is enough for me for now. But damn, 1000 mls, I wonder how long that would last me.

I agree, my bobas and GJ taste he same only difference is I can smell the banana on the juice and its a bit lighter in color
