I am getting a strong taste of ale through the entire drag and the end note is honey. My wife gets such a strong " top-fermented" hit from it that she cannot even vape it. She does not care for beer, while I like beer, but don't really care for ale. Strange isn't it?

The other night I got a minty taste from my Boba's, this juice is pretty strange indeed.

Interesting....just out of curiosity...do you like beer?

I am theorizing that people, who like beer are more likely to like BB and those who are not beer lovers don't care for BB.

Cheers.

I'm a huge beer nut but I only enjoy Boba's occasionally. I can't vape it all day. But it is pretty good next to a Belgian Quad.

Hmmm. I haven't touched my Bobas in quite a while. Its been steeping for a month and a half and I feel like it totally transformed on me. I finally get the rich sweet graham cracker flavor so many people rave about. Gone is the prunyness sometimes vinagrette flavor I was getting. Granted I dripped it on a 510 1.5ohm single coil atty and not in my Kayfun with a 1.5ohm micro and cotton. I shall test it in my Kayfun in a few days and see if it really did change on me or if its a flavor difference between devices.

It could be that my taste buds have somehow changed as well. Who knows!

After having Bobas for a month:

Verdict...Boba's is so nasty :s I don't know how anybody could enjoy this.

Funny how different our tastes are :D I know when i first started vaping this juice is was a bit awkward, similar to my first Guinness. But as time went on and my palette refined i grew to love this flavor.

I have vaped Boba's in a carto tank, iclear 30 and in a RDA. So I was going on a trip this week and decided to put some in an EVOD just for the hell of it, and I found I like Boba's best in an EVOD. I get the graham cracker and tobacco while the raisin taste has slipped far into the background. I think this tells me that with juices I somewhat like, I need to try them in different juice vessels to find the taste I like best. Really brought Boba's around for me.

just opened up my package. loaded up a kanger t3 with bobas. its definitely graham cracker. flavor is decent. have to wait and see if it grows on me. but one thing i can definitely say is that the quality of this juice and the other 2 i got from ave is far superior to any of the local garbage I've got. I'm gonna pick up a new atomizer for my t3 and see if its any different. been using this one for awhile.

So after almost four months of vaping, I finally ordered some Boba's Bounty and Gorilla Juice! I put a few drops of Boba's in the dripper and I'm in love. Do most of you let it steep first?

What kind of tank, cart or other gizmo works best since I think I read it will gunk some things up? Thanks! Excuse me while I go drip some more of it now!

As I posted earlier this juice has totally changed after over a month of steeping. I put it in my Kayfun and it was much better than it was before. I opted to try my identically steeped Gorilla Juice and it also got much better! I chose to spike my GJ with Bananas Gone Nuts and I think I just found one my favorite blends so far!

Note, to me, BB and Gorilla Juice taste exactly the same (although my wife could discern the banana flavor in GJ).

I decided to put some in an EVOD just for the hell of it, and I found I like Boba's best in an EVOD. I get the graham cracker and tobacco while the raisin taste has slipped far into the background. I think this tells me that with juices I somewhat like, I need to try them in different juice vessels to find the taste I like best. Really brought Boba's around for me.

I use my Bobas in an Evod, too, and get the same great graham cracker flavor with the very, very faint raisin-like 'essence' in the background (I would like more). I don't get any beer-like flavor at all (and I dig beer)... Just a great sweetness, kind of like a great graham cracker crust on a pie.

As I understood that there was banana flavoring in Gorilla Juice, I am using it in a Smoktech Aro and it tastes completely different From BB: harsher, with virtually no banana flavor or sweetness at all. My Bobas in the Evod is far sweeter, which I love. The only other Pyrex clearo that I have is the original Protank, so I'll try it in there to see if the flavor changes.

So I'm wondering how much diluting with PG would make it usable in a carto tank? I'm also wondering if that amount would be too much dilution and make the juice not taste strong enough. I've never had BB and want to try it but primarily use carto tanks. Since it's 100% VG i don't even know what to expect from the juice, I've never even had as low of a ratio as 50/50. All I know is that 100% VG probably won't get along well with my carto tanks:laugh:

Any suggestions on what the best "tanking" options for BB?

and i apologize if this question is in the wrong thread thanks for your time!

The tank is completely irrelevant here. It's the carto you have to decide on. Boge LR single side laser slotted work very well. I got mine at kidneypuncher.com and BB does work just fine in those. I haven't used other brands nor single punched or double punched cartos.

HTH.

As my little 6ml bottle of Boba's Bounty that was steeped for about 2 months before I would even touch it disappeared pretty quickly once I tasted it, the 30ml that I bought to replace it has only steeped for about 2-3 weeks tops before I couldn't keep my hands off of it...

The tobacco is more prominent, the graham cracker flavor isn't there yet:( , but OMG... I'm getting much more of the raisin-y, plum-y, maybe even prune-y whatever the heck it is flavor (<-- yes, I said 'prune') is much more present and I LOVE THAT!

I adore prunes! That dark, complex sweetness is freakin' fantastic to me. Weee!!!! :D

I love Boba's but 100% VG is too heavy in my chest and causes me too cough up a lot of phlegm.. Anyway, after sharing that bit of unpleasantness, I have been diluting it with Halo Fusion unflavored base. 60% Boba's/40% Fusion. At this ratio the taste still comes through at nearly full flavor and it sure is easier on coils and wicks better too. Just my $.02 for others who struggle with 100%VG
