Hello all, I've been vaping for roughly 7 months now. I gave Bobas a try due to the hype, and I'm not going to sacrifice a goat for it but I do enjoy it a lot. Enough to where I was wired on coffee for a few days straight trying to put an order through for the sale. I know there are literally tons of threads on this topic, but I'm hoping to create yet another for us to share our successful setups to vaporize this thick monster of a juice.

Ways I have used are as follows:

EVOD: First time I tried it, not realizing how thick it was. It was great! It had a great flavor, great vapor, and I was impressed. It did however gunk up extremely fast, and lost A LOT of flavor. Became a very dull vape.

Aro pyrex tank: Basically the same as the EVOD

DCT: First time ever trying a tank, and it was awesome. Changed the flavor profile A TON and had HUGE clouds. I found the cartos clogging in 1-2 days though, and its been a pain ever since (still working on a fix)

Pro tank 2 mini: Once again, very similar to the EVOD. Flavor drops quick, wicking starts to suffer (even when playing with flavor wicks)

Aspire BDC: My current setup. I am LOVING it. Its a very interesting clearomizer setup, and at 4.00 each, I have no complaints. The flavor is different once again, which I have noticed from all these different setups. But its still great, produces great vapor.

I am going to try straight Boge LR cartos next, maybe some of the mega egos as well. Eventually I might drip a little, but I am always on the go so simple is good for me.


Post your experiences here, what works for you, and your opinions! vape on.

I don't like it in a dripper. It's just too strong. I've recently gone back to my Protank 2s on a nemmy clone and chi-you clone. Those mechs have proper airflow to the 510 connection, which I find to be a REQUIREMENT for my Protanks. I rebuild my coils to .9ohms (28g 7 wraps around 1/16"), and wick with a SMALL piece of cotton ball. That's my Boba's sweet spot. I have to re-wick every tank or so, but that doesn't bother me. Best flavor/vapor ratio I've found. That said, I use that setup for just about everything right now, but especially tobacco blends.

I keep hearing about Bobbas bounty. What does this juice taste like? They're cryptic on their website. Is it super sweet? Fruity? Bakery stuff? Tobacco blend?

You will read tons about all sorts of juice, peronally, I taste graham/cinnamon/tobacco/raisin on the inhale, who the hell knows whats going on during exhale. I just enjoy it.

Please make sure you are on the correct site Alien VISIONS E-liquid, not the other scam site!

Hard to nail down the exact tastes in Boba's, scan the million threads on ECF about it for ideas, thats why i don't worry about it and just order 100ml's more!:vapor:

Thanks! I was wondering why I found two sites claiming it.

Kidney Puncher (non rebuildable) atomizer 1.5ohms on my VMOD XL. Taste is slightly less intense than an Igo-L but is miles better than any clearo I've tried it in.

If you want a similar experience, get a 510 atomizer on the battery of your choice and have a little drip - it really brings out some flavors you might not have noticed before.

I just recently tried Boba's in the new Innokin iClear30s. This works very well for Boba'a and I figured out how to dry burn when the taste starts to change and then it's good as new.


Really? How much have you vaped using that? I just received my MVP2.0 and have been wondering what to try in the iclear30, I thought no way in hell to bobas. I also havent tried it with any top wick type deal though so I guess I should try.

I used to vape almost nothing but Boba's Bounty. I really like the juice.

However, the fact that they make you jump through hoops to order it got old. I've never seen anyone work so hard to make sure that you can't place an order with them.

And at some point, I moved to 0 nic. They won't sell Boba's Bounty below 6 nic. I was already tired of all the hassle trying to order it anyway, so I just found something else. I don't like my new juice as much, but at least I don't have to get on my knees and beg them to sell it to me (and then do it again the next day, and the next, and the next.)

Aside from the recent sales, they're usually open all day these days. May be time to come back to Bobas? :vapor:

Yeah, I'm late on the boba train and heard about all the problems. But apart from the recent sale like you mentioned, I havent had any issues. I actually just received gorilla juice today, I'll give it some time to settle but I'm slowly starting to notice the banana come through. I have it in my aspire BDC, still love this thing. Very neat design.

Boba's Bounty is now a staple of mine. I have tried to vape it in just about everything you can think of. First was a Protank. Awesome flavor this way, but the coil was good for less than a day, and that quickly became frustrating. I've also tried it in an iClear 30, Vivi V-Fate, with similar results. Next up was cartomizers. Great flavor and vapor......which also plugged up in less than a day.

The only consistent way I've found to use it is to drip it. I have 3 different drippers in my arsenal, including an Igo-L, Phoenix V10, and an Igo-W......the winner? A single microcoil in the Igo-L. I think it must be the shape of the top cap, but for me it delivers the best most consistent flavor. I run a 1.5Ω single microcoil wicked with cotton on my SVD. With a fresh wick and clean coil I enjoy blowing a few yummy Boba plumes in the kitchen every evening. :)

At first, I was reluctant to try Boba's due to the difficulty in ordering it, not just that, but I was trying to get away from tobacco flavors as well. Now, I have to admit that it's my adv. In an Aspire BDC the flavor is just perfect. I just go back to it over and over again. Dripping it and tanks with rebuildables could even be better, but I simply can't be bothered with rebuilding or having to drip. $1.90 for an aspire bdc replacement head that tends to average a good 10 days of use is fine for me.

Thats what I'm saying, I am super impressed with these aspires right now. The only thing I do not like is that they LOOK like cheap ce4 type deals, but they perform awesome.

Boba's is definitely in my rotation at all times. Works great in the GP Spheroid with rolled cotten wick and microcoil. And I learned a trick. I order it with an extra flavor shot and a higher nic level than I usually vape. I then dilute it down 2/3 boba's to 1/3 unflavored PG (no nic -- but I suppose if you also have plain nic juice around, you could order 0 nic boba and dial in precisely as you wish, DIY style). Not only does this give it some throat hit (which is my one criticism of boba's), but it wicks much more easily and doesn't gunk my coils so quickly. I'm getting about a week on my spheroid with this method before changing wicks. Give it a try (but on a small batch first)... To me the flavor and throat hit are better this way!

Steve.

I broke down and got some on sale along with the Gorilla Juice. I was hoping they weren't a pipe tobacco and its really nice. Sweet without being syrupy and enough other flavors that can be brought out by varying the wattage.
Actually more impressed by the Gorilla Juice overall and the coil lasts longer. Bobas trashes a build within 24 hours and it looks like I'm vaping 40wt motor oil.

I have only used them in an Igo W4 dripper. I wrap a 1.3ish ohm coil and wick with cotton yarn.
