I like the Boba's Bounty. Is it the be all, end all. No, but it is good. I've been reading the posts on DIY'ing the Boba's, and it sounds like it'll be easy to get fairly close, and make something very good. The boys and girls have pretty much cracked it, or close enough to make a very decent ADV. I'm ordering the concentrates now to DIY it myself. Good luck to you!

I ordered mine on Sunday and just got it today. Only cracked open the bobas and not the gorilla yet. It is very good no doubt and no I can't put it down. However it wasn't what I was expecting and I was a little let down after reading all the hype. Kind of like seeing all the funny parts of a movie in the trailer then the movie isn't as good as you thought it was going to be even though it got 5 stars. I guess I was expecting fireworks to go off and the government to pay my rent. I keep puffing thinking ok the fireworks are about to start but then I just realize I am liking it more and more with every puff.

But seriously it is very very good and you will not have buyers remorse.

If you have something else you can vape try steeping it for a while. I left my 6ml bottle stashed away for a week and now it tastes great; I didn't like it much when i first received it.

I got my AVE shipment a couple of days ago. I like the Gorilla juice and I love the Hype (already re-ordered a bigger bottle) but I hate the Boba's. Maybe I should put it back for a week or two and give it another shot. I don't think that'll do it tho, I just really didn't find anything about it that I liked. I guess that's why there's so many flavors tho!

If you haven't tried the Hype give it a go. It's a peach/honeydew flavor and I really like it.

yeah, I think I will let it steep. it simply tastes like chocolate with very very very very very slight hints of something more. I finally cracked gorilla open and its awesome, a lot going on with this one in comparison to bobas (sans steeping that is). Since I was there, I couldn't help myself and got pizza too. I was just too danged curious... and dag nabbit its not too shabby. Way better than I thought it would be. Of course its not an all day, but I could probably run through a .5ml here and there. I def wouldn't get more than 1 6ml bottle every two years.

Where is Pizza from? I don't see it on the AVE site.

Boba's is very rich, very aromatic and undergoes subtle changes over time.

When I first tried it, I thought it was very similar to Backwoods' Honey Flue flavor. But the Boba flavor has matured a bit and now it's completely different. I still prefer some of my other tobacco flavors over it, but it's pretty doggone good. Unless this stuff morphs into the best flava evah, I probably won't buy it again.

Do not judge before steeping and vaping it for an hour! At first I was kind of sad about it.. But now it is one of my ADV at the moment! Hope it suites your taste buds :)

I'm gonna take your advice... I got some a week or so ago and I thought it was vile. But I did just recently start vaping and I think I may be in a honeymoon phase with my vanilla custard. ;)

I'll try it again in a couple of weeks and, like learning to drink whiskey, give myself time to learn to love it or at worst verify that I'm not a tobacco lover.

If you read the DIY threads on Boba's (Boba's Clone), you'll understand that it goes through at least 3 distinct flavor changes over a 5 week period. It's one of the reasons we have such a hard time duplicating it. Right at one stage and slightly off at the next stage or two. Very tough, but we're still very close, and close enough for me.
