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.
To say Boba's is "thick" is probably the biggest understatement of the century!!:D
Like you, I've only dripped Boba's in an IGO-L.....8-9 wrap of 30ga. kanthal on a 1/16" arbor with cotton wick....
Even with this setup...5-6 drops only gives me a couple of hits before the cotton starts to dry out!!!:(
Happy (vaping) Trails!

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.

To be clear. I was referring to thee iClear 30s which is relatively new. I have probably vaped about 50ml of Boba's with it and I like it better than anything I've ever vaped Boba's in. Now my wife is fine with the regular iClear 30, but I feel it's muted by comparison but both vape Boba's we'll. You just have to dry burn the coils when they get gunked up.

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

The lowest nic level they will sell it in is 6mg. I'm no longer using nic.

And honestly, just because they've decided to open the store and sell for a couple of weeks doesn't mean that they won't be back to the "we give you 2 minutes a week to place your order and we're closed the rest of the time and you should kiss our butts and thank us for opening for that two minutes" stuff. They made it pretty clear, back then, that they didn't care.

I put up with it for awhile because I like the juice so much, but honestly, I'd just as soon give my money to someone else, because they don't care.

Sounds a lot like what I put up with Johnson Creek Red Oak Tennessee Cured. Murder on wicks/coils/cartomizers but such a great flavor it's made the experimentation worthwhile.

So far it's been best with a Smoktech dual coil atomizer* in a carto tank. The first time I only got about a tank and a half out before needing to swap the atomizer out for a new one due to flavor shift, the second time around it's still going strong through nearly two tanks.

Standalone eGo mega dual coil cartos are OK, but the draw gets tough after a while, and 808 cartos aren't bad but both items are pretty much single use, they just don't wick well or draw well on additional fills. I use the 808s on a cigalike battery at work for stealth.

EVOD clearos are OK at first but the wicks gunk fast, sometimes in a day.

(* These atomizers look like cartomizers -- laser-drilled holes, but there's no filler just a wire mesh surrounding the inside down at the bottom where the holes are and wicks that extend to the drilled holes.)

I'm a Boba's addict. I have tried it in just about every known device and now I use a ReoGrande with an RM2 atomizer. Dual micro coils, 10 wraps each with 30g wire for about 1ohm resistance.

So far this is my favorite setup for Boba's. I didn't like it in Protanks, liked it better in Vivi Nova's actually. Dripping 510 cartos works pretty good. I liked it alot in an IGO-L, which is what prompted me to get the REO/RM2. The REO is like dripping without the hassle. The REO/RM2 is also nice because it's easy to rewick, which I like to do frequently with Boba's.

When I was using Vivi's I was changing the head out at least daily and that was a pain.

Just loaded up the iclear30s and its great so far. I might sound dumb for saying this but it really just reminds me of a fancier ce4, am I far off? Do you need to constantly roll the juice around? I notice if I take long drags the tip gets warm, not a bad thing just an observation.

Edit: Oops, I meant the original iclear30

boba loses its taste pretty fast by the end of the day it almost seems like im vaping unflavored nic. after a day i usually have to vape something else to get the taste back maybe its just me and i vape too much so now i have vapers tongue from the flavor.

I was actually thinking this today, not only does it taste different in every setup I've used, but about 1-3ml in it changes drastically. I cant tell if its from the "vapers tongue" or whatever but its weird. To me it starts to taste really dull.

I don't have to roll the iclear30s around until the level gets below half full, then an occasional invert gets the tops of the wicks wet and it's just fine. I have 2 of them, one for Boba's and one for Gorilla Juice. The 30s really wicks the thick juices well, but it is sort of a juice hog.

Yeah I noticed this as well. I really dont vape too much and I went through 1ml pretty fast, where on other setups it would take a lot longer. But its giving me a very nice hit at 3.9 volts.

Its actually one of the most vaped juices in reoville and most say the same thing if you set it down for a couple hours or a day the flavor comes back weird right? As for gorilla juice to me tastes just like bobas with a faint citrusy banana taste
