I knew it!!!!!!......ut..O....Your in trouble now!!!!!!

Gads I love Empire Strikes Back, and it's been far too long since I've seen it. And, I've discovered the secret in Boba's Bounty! The flavor is <drum roll.......> nerf-herder, with a splash of scruffy.

does steeping make it even better? just as others have said kind of on the fence when I first got it, but after a few days I'm like a junkie for this stuff.

Steeping is not required, the alien flavorings need time to invade your thalamus glands before the actual "addictive" invasion takes place, thus explaining the delay of euphoric feelings.:laugh:

Aloha, Keith

I just came from the web site. I was intending, after reading this thread & all of the reviews, to give this juice a try, but when I saw that it is only available as 100%VG, I had to take a pass. Anyone care to convince me otherwise? I prefer my juices mixed at 80%PG/ 20%VG.

Same here. Or a 70/30 mix. Bobas is unlike any other 100% VG I have tried. I have tried a bunch of other 100% VG mixes. Some with tasty flavor, some that were muted. Bobas is a juice that I was not thrilled to almost run out of. Was going between it and a few others. Caught me by surprise. Not trying to sound like a fan boy or valley girl, but was "Like wow. Its so like nothing I had before." Good juice to have in my collection. Find myself revisiting it. Bottles are great for dripping. They do not leak or get under the cap.
I have a about a weeks worth left, before I reorder. Can send you a sample the end of next week if you wish to try it. Would be interested on your take of it.

@Keith- I don't have the BB's yet. Hopefully be in the mailbox today when I get home from work. I'm really looking forward to trying it. I'm going to be opening my last bottle of Mad Hatter this week, so it's time to order more of it. But I'm holding up because I may not need to order as much of it this time if I like the BB's.

Just wanted to throw in my two cents. I've read several people mention that they didn't really care about Boba's for a while, and then later on it kinda caught up to them and they loved it. I've been vaping it for about five minutes and I already love it, so that truism definitely doesn't hold for everyone. Of course, I could love it even more in a couple of days, so we'll see.

N2, what nic strength did you order? If you read my earlier post in this thread, you will see that we found that the higher the nic mg, the greater the flavor. I can't wait to hear your opinion on Boba's when you get it, remember that the addiction does not usually hit you right off the bat. Only when I ran out did I realize what I was I missing, after that everything I vaped tasted like crap when compared to Boba's and the rest is history. Now I only buy 1000ml at a time, yes I did say one thousand.:laugh:

Ps, is that your jeep in the pic? I had a Chevy Blazer with a fully built 350cid LT1, roller rockers, big cam, gear drive, 5.13 gears with detroit lockers and 15 inches of lift rolling on 44" swampers. Damn gas guzzler got 4.5mpg.:laugh:

The BB arrived yesterday.

My wife- loved it the first drag. Me- I'm on the fence. First off, it didn't seem to have much flavor (I got 12mg strength as that is what I use in all my juices). The flavor just seems so subtle, and I like big flavor (Mad Hatter is my favorite because it is such a strong flavor). The flavor is so subtle that I can't seem to get enough taste to tell if I like it LOL. I vaped it all last evening, and am still vaping it today, planning on vaping it all day to see if I can warm up to it.

The next thing about it: This is the first time I have gotten a juice that is 100% VG. Of course the vapor is massive. But due to that massive vapor (I'm running 4.7v on my Darwin and using cartos) there tends to be a lot of vapor condensation on the tip/mouthpiece and in the hole of the mouthpiece. After a couple drags (if I don't wipe it all off and blow into the hole) I will get juice splatter on my tongue- of course that doesn't help the taste any LOL

I'm still vaping it- I don't "hate" it (unlike so many other juices I have purchased). So that and the fact that my wife loves it means we'll be keeping it.

@Keith- yes, that is my Jeep. 2007, 3" suspension lift, 2" body lift, 35" tires, Aussie locker in front, OX locker in rear, 5.13 gears, and so many other mods I lost track. I consider it a gas guzzler at 12mpg. But obviously no where near the guzzling of your rig.

N2, I had a similar first reaction to BB. But, I did not keep on vaping it. Like many others here, I put it away and came back to it. The 2nd time, it intrigued me so I came back a 3rd, 4th, and 5th time. It just continued to grow on me. So, if it still does not grab you - as long as your wife likes it (so it will be in the house anyway) - try coming back to it in a week or so.

I find cartos can really alter flavors of my juices. Many people love cartos and I am experimenting with them more. You might try BB in an atty. Personally, I find 510s really reduce flavors too (yet in a different way compared to cartos). Bobas can be good in a carto (each model & ohms version can produce different favor too - from the same juice). Many find the 901 and 801 style attys more flavorful. Others luv the 510s and 306s. Personally, I am a big fan of the Joye 302 with stealth 510/801 adapters (usually best airflow for 302s - airflow can greatly impact flavor, vapor and TH) - at 8.5 watts on Darwin.

As for your carto condensation, try putting a drip-tip on the carto. there may still get some condensation but it should be much less. Also, the carto hole is so tiny that the condensation accumulates at that narrow opening. With drip tips, there is more room for the vapor to expand a bit, internal surface area for the condensation to adhere to and a wider opening so you do not get that constant droplet of condensation assaulting your tongue.

Enjoy the Bobas (at least your wife and it may grow on you too), and of course - the darwin too :p

@Nebulabrot- Yeah the wife thinks it has so much flavor and just loves it (dripping and carto). Meanwhile I barely get any flavor from it regardless of dripping or carto. I stuck with it all last night and all of this morning. By noon I couldn't take it anymore and switched over to my regular vape (Mad Hatter). Since I bought a 100ml bottle, it will be around for a while LOL. So I'll come back to it next week or the following week.

I'm just jealous that she gets the flavor and I don't.

First time I tried it, I had heard all the hype. First few vapes = nothing. I thought, this is ridiculous - I taste nothing. So, I put it away and came back to it about a week later. I vaped a few drip rounds and found my self a bit more curious but not enough to keep vaping it. I also switch juices almost every vape round. I do have a couple that stay front and center but even rotate those round to round. Rarely do I drip the same twice in a row. I came back to Bobas a 3rd then 4th and it just continued to grow on me until it ended up in my top line-up.

It is a strange juice in that people have different experiences with it. Some luv it first vape; for others it grows on them, others still never like it. Those that do like it all seem to taste something different in it. I have a couple guesses of my own but it is fun to follow this thread and see what others are guessing. There have been some pretty interesting posts :lol:

hahaha- it was funny listening to my wife last night as she tasted something different in it each vape. Caramel, then toffee, then chocolate, then banana, then menthol, then... Etc etc What little bit of flavor I got, I was not able to assign any flavor to- it was a completely unique flavor. But it was so subtle I had trouble finding it at all. But, I did not "hate" it. So at least it survived that part of my tasting, and did not go into the juice graveyard.

N2, I am using 12mg right now as we speak, when compared to to the 24mg, the 24mg does have more flavor and is much darker in color. My suggestion to you would be this, go back to whatever your favorite juice is and occasionally take vapes from your wife. Let your taste buds and brain adjust to it, give it time and see what happens.

Just like Nebula and many others, I didn't see anything awesome about it my first time around and my gf said the exhale smelled like a homeless guy.:laugh: Even now I still try new liquids weekly, just not as much as I used to and nothing so far can make me give up Boba's. I have however found that adding Boba's can improve other flavors that I did not like and at least make it tolerable.

Judging by your tastes since you like madhatters stuff which I assume the madsmooth which I have tried before, you might want to try Ivapes Sweet Caroline which is nearly identical in taste. In both those juices I can smell and taste some kind of black tea or something that resembles green peppers. FSUSA Wyatt Earp has that same taste as well as eliquidplanets black tea. After trying nearly 1000 juices already, I have a pretty good memory for stuff.:laugh:

Please get back to us in a few days and tell us if anything has changed. I am curious to see if the magical addictive alien particles will have infected your body by then. :laugh:

Ps, try using a tongue scraper to clear your palate and make sure your sinuses are clear. That way you can ensure that your taste buds have a better chance in tasting the subtle flavors.

Aloha, Keith
