After vaping my way through a 30 and about 1/3 of the way through a 100 bottle, still no clue what it tastes like exactly. I seem to get the best flavor dripping it on a lr atty on my Chuck @3.7. Get good flavor but definitely a 'different' flavor when I load it in ce2 cart. Dripping on a standard atty on a passthru @ work definitely mutes the flavor drastically, but yet...still good.
I think I'm done searching, between this and GJ I'm set. I've tried several vendors and found a lot of great juice out there, but I think these two are my all days. These 2 juices @ 24mg of nic make me seriously wonder why I ever thought cigarettes tasted good.

Bobas Bounty just doesn't have much taste to it at all. It is so mild that I cannot even pin the taste down. I smell a little carmel but I don't really taste it. I've had my bottle for 4 mo. so I don't think steeping will have much to do with it. i know taste is subjective but I can not understand the overwhelming popularity of Bobas, there is so little flavor in it.

My experience exactly. I will try it again periodically. I have a Darwin coming so I am going to try at different wattages to see what happens, but to me it's a sort of bland creaminess that really doesn't do much for me. To be fair though, I am not 100% off teh analogs yet, so my taste buds are probably fried.

My brother in law recently quit analogs and when he first tried Boba's he hated it. He said it reminded him of a rotten oatmeal raisin cookie. a week with no analogs and he loves it now. Even went and bought himself a bottle of gorilla juice to try it out and loves that too. Preference is HUGE, I agree. I just think it has a big following because most people (From what I've read) find it better the second time around.

I don't think anyone has mentioned tasting the flavor of toasted coconut but that's what stands out to me. The predominate flavor I can still taste even after vaping it nonstop for three months now is toasted coconut.
AVE says it's simple and I think it is really that simple. Toasted coconut and tobacco. That's all.

Just got my first bottle in the mail, and tried it. Yeah, I think I can taste some toasted coconut -- sort of like Somoa's (Girl Scout cookies). But I get an oatmeal flavor mixed in there too.

Whatever it is...I LIKE IT!

I just got around to dripping some of this and cranking up the watts on my Darwin. It tastes so much better with a little voltage behind it! Cocoa, I totally taste cocoa!

I think I may have found a juice I actually would order a BIG bottle of :)

When I smoked non-menthol analogs, I was fond of the Kamel Red lights. There was something a bit more toasty about them that I liked.

Granted, I haven't had an analog in well over a year, but Boba's Bounty reminds me of what I liked about smoking certain brands.

I don't really pick up on the chocolate, graham cracker, or coconut that other folks have described, but what I do get is a nice, toasty, caramely tobacco with a hint of sweetness (there's a little fruitiness in there, but it's hard to describe). I've tried other tobacco flavors before that tasted like wet socks - this doesn't. At all :rickroll:

This was my impression straight ouf of the bottle, without giving it time to age.

Doesn't fry my tastebuds, doesn't hurt my throat, and produces clouds and clouds of lovely vapor. I'm going to order some CE2s and try it out on those (tasted with a dual coil carto on an eGo 900mAh pass-thru). This is an excellent 100% VG juice.

About a month ago, after reading all the hype on this juice I went ahead and ordered some. I didn't like it and threw it in my briefcase as an emergency travel juice.
I came across it a couple days ago and just for the heck of it tried it again and it blew me away. I don't know if my tastebuds are changing as I distance myself from analogs or if the thing steeped. Long story short, I ordered 100ml's on monday and am in the process of ordering another 200mls.

I still don't know exactly what it tastes like. I enjoy the slight sweetness where before I didn't like sweet juice.

This stuff is really amazing, glad I found it

Tastes to me like dates... and reminiscent of a nice moist pipe tobacco I had a way long time ago - but don't remember what kind.

Has anyone noticed if Boba's Bounty was reformulated to be much thinner? Mine is very thin - and is working fine in my cartopipe. But I'm very curious because most everyone says it's super-thick. Could it just be the warmer weather? But that doesn't make sense, as my other VGs are thick - vaperite kona cream, vaporcaststore adam's apple/southern freeze/nona limon (all very yummy!)

oh no ;-) I mentioned that in post #2 ;-)

Toasted coconut is a pretty common one... I have heard date/raisin/oatmeal before...

...but the only hints we have to the real flavor are these:

Ben said that it was a flavor his customers were hounding him to make... (This was about 2 years ago)
and... Ben said it was a simple flavor...

so what would a bunch of faithful av fans ask ben to make? it's gotta be more obvious than we give it credit for... something more simple like a pipe tobacco...

I'm a bit new to vaping, but I had to sample this because so many people recommend it here. I tried the 6mg and 12mg samplers with an ego-t (standard 3.7 battery). I found it to be on the sweet side, and the vapor left a funny smell in the air... sort of like the smell of dog piss. Not trying to be harsh, because it's apparent from the forum here that LOTS of people love it, that was simply my experience. To be fair, I have tried a few other juices that produce the same smell - though I love Halo Prime 15, I found that their "freedom" juice does the same thing. There was one other Halo juice that did that, but I don't have access to my notes at the moment, but I think there is one (or more) ingredient(s) that I personally experience that way.... or maybe it's a sweetener rather than a flavor component.

Update: I first tried Boba's on my E-power dripping onto an atty that came with the pv. No go! I noticed I get MUCH better performance with the Boge 3.0 Cartos on my PV. So I said, eh what the hell. I filled with condom method and got vaping. So much better! Do I love the taste yet? No, but I did not like scotch either the first time I tried it, now I love a good scotch (not islay) I can see this growing on me. I was gonna put it on the the classifieds, but neh, I am gonna keep going!

If I like it well enough, I will fill one of the Resurrectors I just got in the mail today and see what difference that makes. Think I will find one (a difference that is)?

Well got my bottle today 18mg nic, and Hmmm..........that's all I can say I can really taste some toasted coconut like some people say, and it has like a cinnamon creaminess to it....Is like a cookie or something, and then like a blend of sweet tobacco of some kind. The TH was huge and it was a little spicy at first in my tongue but the more I vape it the more my mouth gets used to it. Idk Im hoping it just gets better in a week or so.

Update 2: I definitely enjoyed Boba's more and more last night, but wanted to give it a real test as my first vape this morning with my morning coffee. Deilicious! Still wondering if I will find a difference in the 1.7 Resurrector, I have a lot of Juice coming and not too many cartos on hand, so I am going to wait, but still with the 3.0 Boge, I am enjoying it :)

Update:

I let it steep overnight and had it again today and was better flavor but still that rash TH, im hoping it gets better with time, I love the flavor but the TH hits really hard. Im wondering if is the nic lvl which is 18mg which is strange because I have had other liquids with this much nic and they weren't this strong. Gorilla is getting better by the minute.

I didn't care for BB when I first tried it, now it's my all day. The subtlety of flavor is one of it's strongest points. I sometimes cravea really strong flavor and will drip some strawberry cheesecake or something, but I find that I tire of the flavor after awhile. BB and Gorilla juice are the ones I can use all day long and never tire of them.
