This statement is very true. For me every tank i vape has subtle flavor changes which I enjoy very much. I attribute it to the above factors and my ever changing taste buds.

Just checked my new 100ml bottle and you are correct. Wow I too thought it was 100% VG
Whether it tastes like it or not, or whether people believe it or not, there is a natural tobacco in BB (and in AVEs tobacco line in general).

I should have clarified 1 point. My latest batch does not make my attie taste like an ashtray after vaping for 1 day. It is now on every 3rd day. And yes, I am also a believe that BB has some NETs with only the residue on my attie as evidence.

I ordered some 12mL bottles of BB, GJ, and Blend 4 on Oct 15. I've never vaped these before so I have no idea how they used to taste. What I do know: the flavor of the BB has changed quite a bit in just a week. It wasn't particular noteworthy right out of the mail, but now it's starting to taste a good bit more like graham crackers. I'm going to give it some more time to steep but clearly the flavor may need to settle in a bit.Well I left my 1 week old Boba's alone after dripping some of it right off the mail. One week in the raisins are almost gone. I'm definitely getting a sweet graham cracker flavor out of it now, still a hint of raisinish taste in the background but I'm sure it will completely go away in another week at this rate. It's tasting pretty delicious to me right now!
If all goes well in 2-3 weeks I'm ordering up a 100mL bottle or two. And I finally get what all the chatter is about the BB, it's really good!
IT definitely gets better after a few weeks. I notice the tobacco starts to come out really nicely after the third or fourth week.
I was cleaning out a vape box I havent touched in ages. Found about 5 MLs of Bobas and 7 MLs of GJ purchased around Feb of 2013. Vaped it and I was in heaven. That is all.
Do u think its because it sat so long OR was did it taste like "heaven" back in Feb? The first time I tried BB was for someone who had it from an order in Dec and it was def heaven....along with the GJ he sent me.
Similar situation with me too.... The recipe may be the same, but the flavor is different. Maybe the vendor they get a flavoring from isn't getting it right (I don't know) or in making much larger quantities they are off a bit (who knows). I'm using the same gear as before. Just not getting that deep graham cracker taste, just lots of honey with a hint of tobacco.
I still vape it, but for short periods and come back to it once in a while. Perhaps my taste is what is changing and find BB and GJ almost too sweet now to vape all the time. I guess things will only change when business drops off. They can only get so many new people trying it, until even that tappers off. Makes me sad cause I really really loved this juice!
Time to crawl into bed in the fetal position and rock myself to sleep.... (<---- kidding, kinda).
It definitely was not age related IMHO as it was the flavor, texture, and plumes I remember when I first started vaping BB and GJ which I do not get anymore on these newer batches. I've learned to enjoy the newer stuff and started thinking to myself that it was the same or similar to what I used to get, but after finding these older bottles from Feb, it reminded me what the good old stuff tasted like.
i thought that i was the only one that thought my bobas was not right. I had it steep for at least three weeks, not much flavor at all. what i did was add some gorilla, which tastes great, to the bobas and it at least had some flavor to it.
I got 30ml in trade about a year ago (my first taste) and it was great! Really shined that sweet gramcracker taste. Guy said it was about 3 month old. I ended up buying 2x 100mg bottles directly after for the 2012 black friday sale. It never had that sweet taste even after sitting for months.
I decided the 100ml was the cause and bought 10x 30ml bottles.... Never got that great gram cracker taste.
Now on my 4th 100ml bottle since and still nothing. Really upsets me I cant get that great taste. It still is the only juice I can vape 24/7 but im still sad about it.
Something def changed, not sure if the vendor for the flavors, or the recipe changed. I'm going to order more for this years sale and hope for the best. No way the last 500ml I bought could all have been bad through the year.

Well giving it one more shot today. Ordered a 30ml bottle each of GG and BB at 24mg. Took advantage of the sale and was actually surprised to see the store open so late in the morning (well at least during a sale).
I look at it when Coca Cola came out with New Coke. It was drinkable and was not bad, just not the same. It may even come down to my taste buds are different now that I have quit smoking for many months. It went from a 9.5 to a 7.0 IMHO. We'll see how it works out. Keeping my fingers crossed. Really love this company and hope to continue being a dedicated customer as long as I'm a vapor.

So I got my Boba's order in today. I vaped it and almost fell to the ground in tears. It was exactly what I remember my original Boba's tasting like w/out any filtering or additional shenanigans.
I also tried a friend's order that was received on Monday and it is also the same. When vaped next to the juice I acquired from the reopening they are like 2 completely different juices. No ashy flavor, no vinegar or raisin flavor. Just sweet, creamy, graham craker'ish flavor.
It is also thicker and vaperizes differently in my attie.
I hope my future orders will be the same.
Good luck to you all and I hope you get similar batches as I did.

Sounds like they have made some tweaks to restore original flavor. What device and ohms are you vaping BB & GJ?
I use all sorts. KFL, Aqua, Fogger but my go to for testing Bobas is my Trident single coil at .7 ohms.
I know that my bottle of GJ is absolutely splendid. It's good to know that those of us who had experienced oddities are now not. I, for one, never had anything against AVE, Ben or the liquids; quite the contrary, I loved them--I just wanted consistency with what I fell in love with. It seems like the girl got he strut back. Yep, she's fine again! LOL. Here's to hoping she keeps her stride.
I missed out on the sale by a day or so! but I placed an order for another 100ml bottle. You guys have me really excited in hopes the old flavor is back. If it is true I am going to stock up on 1000ml just incase.
The only thing I can think is they switched brand of flavors when they ran out and needed to get more. Might have been a shortage with the normal company at the time?
