I finally opened mine yesterday after letting it sit for a bit. I like it....BUT....I've never coughed so much in my life! It wasn't a dry cough - more like I was sensitive to something in it. Sadly, in the end I had to dump it. I'm not sensitive to Vg that I know of so presumably something in the flavorings? Has anyone else ever had this problem? And I tried it in two separate clearos in case it was something to do with a tank/coil:(

My throat was really scratchy at first, but it's settled down now. Smooth all the way!

Did you order your Boba's Bounty from the Alien Vapors, or Alien Visions web sights?
 
Just bought some BB after all the buzz, and, though it's smokeable, I'm really not impressed.

As the eminent critic Pbusardo (TasteYourJuice.com) -- who CLEARLY regards Boba's Bounty as one of his top daily vapes -- noted in his original review: it's very similar to the pre-filled tobacco cartos that we all received when buying our first kits way back when. I agree...and that certainly doesn't qualify this as something extraordinary.

There's a bit of Kool-Aid drinking going on here, methinks...

Got a bottle of bb in yesterday been vapping for over a year now and went away from the tobacco flavors but with all the talk about it I had to try for my self. First impression is good not great not sure about using it for an all day vape. The big con is that the exhale smell is so bad my wife that also vapes and kids can't stand it. The only other flavor I've had this problem with is green tea. But I guess I will let it steep for a week and try again. But does every one have this problem of is it just my batch? I'm using a new 2.0 coil head on a kanger aero tank cranked up to only 4.0 volts seems to be my sweet spot for this juice. This is the first flavor I have bought in 9 months since I started DIY so I wonder if could also be the pg, vg or the nicotine they use. But as far as flavor goes I do get a honey gram cracker as I have read from others.

I am a newbie and I got a small bottle of Alien Visions Boba's Bounty 18mg yesterday.

It's light brown, has some graham cracker flavor in it.

On first burn it was pretty rank. It's mellowed out though the next day.
It definitely needs a shake and exposure to air before vaping.

I liked the smell & taste after it settled, but I can still detect the burned sugar, and I don't like that aftertaste.

I only vaped a few little puffs on it, but later on I was tossing and turning in bed with serious cotton mouth and a slight nicotine ill feeling. Water helped but it wasn't helpful enough. I feel hungover today. It needs to be thinned out to be daily vape.

I can't think of any juice that's been this hyped for this long.

I dunno… it's been a big hit for 4+ years now…… and it's become highly desirable for new vapers.

I do think there is way too much over-analyzing going on - 4-5 years ago when this juice was first made, there really weren't any exotic or complex flavors… RY4 was about as complex as it got.

I don't think any juices are extraordinary - with that said, boba's is a solid juice… I vape very little of it these days as my tastes have mellowed and I like plain menthol… I prefer AV's Gamel and C+D.

Everybody has different tastes. Everybody has different coils, atties, tanks, cartos and devices. If it does not taste good to you try it on a new CLEAN atty. Then try it again. Or don't, more for me. Boba's has been my ADV for years. Never got tired of it. Really ...... me off when they moved to California but even if they moved to the moon I'd still buy Boba's Bounty.

Bobas is my all day every day e-liquid and has been for years, so no Kool Aid here. ;) No artificial sweetness, no sharp PG overload, vapes great, keeps well, and is easily purchased. I'd be in big trouble if AVE went out of business.

BB's not my ADV. There is too much going on in that juice - for me anyways.
Tips for BB newbies:
When it arrives I open the bottle and let it sit for 24 hours. Then it goes into the UC for speed steeping. 2 hours speed steeping is about 1 week for BB. That's the stage where I start vaping BB.
If it gets to "strong" the NIC level needs to be reduced. Too bad that they don't offer zero NIC level though.
Best atty's IMHO for BB's Kayfu, Taifun GT and decent drippers.
Oddly enough I start enjoying Gorilla Juice more and more and it gets more atty time than BB's these days.

Cheers.

I did use Google but the first hit you get is for alienvapor.com
Bit of a shame if people are interested and get redirected to a company that makes a fake Boba's Bounty.

I know this is an older post, but...have to agree 100% This almost happened to me. I had seen so many posts across various threads raving about this Boba's Bounty that I went looking for a review and ran across this thread. Read the whole thing, decided to bite the bullet and order some. Sure enough, first google result was Alien Vapor with Boba's Bounty and Gorilla Juice front and center on the home page. Thank goodness I had just read about AVE here and realized something wasn't right before I ordered. So back to this thread and the link to the right place. Just placed my order for an 18ml bottle...not going to order that 100ml one just in case it isn't my cup of tea. I'll chime back in with my opinion when I receive it.

After reading so many positive reviews , I had to try it.
So..
3 weeks ago I ordered 2 sample sizes in 6 and 12 nic levels..
I liked it enough to buy 100 ml of both...
I honestly really like this juice ...Its not complex at all...
Its just a very good mixture of the right amount of ingredients .
Throat hit..Flavor..Taste..and vapor.
I give it 2 thumbs up

I can't go back and edit my thread, but I wanted to say that it does sweeten up over time. It really does need to steep.
So..."living up to the hype" now, eh?

Glad to hear that!





My backpacks, got jets, I'm Boba, the Fett, I bounty hunt for Jabba Hut to finance my vette.

Ugh that sticks in my head when it's Bobas day in the dripper.
