A lot depends on how long you have been vaping. You may be experiencing the dreaded dead taste bud syndrome. This happens after you quit the analogs and your taste buds go through several changes. There is also a "salt" syndrome that happens with some folks. All their juices taste salty. But it all passes eventually. There are juices I used to vape but can't any longer because when the taste buds kicked back in I could taste a strange flavor in the base used, or the flavor just didn't get it for me anymore.....

Another good piece of info, thanks! Yes, I've been vaping for only a few weeks yet, so I'll just have to give it some time. I loaded up a cart last night with some Boba and spent a good bit of time sitting on the porch puffing away. It's not repulsive anymore (progress!) but it's still not all that to me yet. I appreciate your great insights, thanks very much.

No problem, we've all been there...BTW, I used to live in Hot Springs during the late 70's and attended UA in Fayetteville for awhile. Big party school. My mom still lives in Hot Springs Village. I love the mountains there and the crystal clear lakes. Beautiful state.

Are you really tasting a coffee flavor in there along with the unmentionable which by the way may soon be legal for all over 18 in our state, or were you just joking around?

No I was teasing. Actually it's been tasting just like the world's best apple pie the last couple of days on my KGO in a 1.25 DCC.

Just opened my envelope and filled a little cart for atty on the KGO. I didn't want to pour too much of this into a big carto right away. With only transit steeping time the Bobas is what I would call pleasing. Right now there is no flavor that I don't like mixed into the brew. But like so many others I have no idea what's in it, nothing is standing out. I will let it steep a few more days and then fill a 1.7 Smoktech. The GJ is the same way, very pleasing in all ways, hint of Banana and the rest tastes like the BB. I'll get back in a few days when I've had the chance to vape it more. Thing is I'm strangely drawn back to it...perhaps the anticipation and mystique of discovery. I have an idea why so many love this juice, there is nothing not to like about it....as is the case with so many fails....

I just pulled the trigger on some Boba's and just got it in the mail today. It tastes AWESOME!

I'm a true blue Boba's fan from first vape. Not too sweet, not too much tobacco flavor, all smooth. If this flavor was in an Analog, I don't think I would have EVER stopped smoking.

I think I'm going to do some Mad Science and see what it tastes like with some Gorilla Juice

I both drip and fill Cartos with Avejuice. Out of the 2 cartos that I have on hand, the Resurrectors seem to handle it best. I have some DCs but they are not loving the 100%vG, in fact it feels like only 1 coil is firing, still working but definitely not as warm as you would think a DC would be. You can of course try thinning out the juice a bit, with either water, Vodka, or I use a few drops of PG.

Edit: I should say that I am dripping Boba's and GJ on Bridgeless atties and I must say it is working out great! These are the best atties I have used to date

Ok, thanks! I filled my resurrecter with the GJ and it's not loving it at all, very hard to draw, but I think I'll drip a bit of PG in there to lube things up a bit. I'm dripping my BB on an atty with a drip tip at about 4.5V and it's a very smooth vape. Relaxing and pure tasting, nothing overpowering but it could get addicting for me as I tire easily of these in your face flavors that taste good at first but after a few days you just want to barf.

You got it my good fellow. I tend to first condom fill, then drip and taryn spin to get the cartos to soak it in well. Be sure to blow out the cetner tube. Boba's is just aweseome!

It's been quiet in here lately. I'm about out of my BB and ready to order more. This juice still remains a mystery but I made a DIY the other day using some Catalan Creme, it was supposed to be a Creme Brulee but turned out tasting a lot like BB minus the tobacco flavor. The BB has not changed much over the past few weeks, still tastes the same to me day in day out. I gave some to hubby to try and the first thing he noticed was the tobacco flavor. That's the last flavor I notice....so funny the way this juice is so different to people. Gotta love it though.

I finally got my first order of Boba's. It took a couple of weeks to get to me (I'm in Canada) so I figured it had already had enough time to steep, lol.

Nice vapor production, no question!Taste is obviously very subjective and although I'm not a tobacco vapor, this isn't bad. I got a mild, almost floral, tobacco taste along with a honey (no caramel as others have suggested) and also a spicy kick at the end. I'm trying to decide if the spicy flavor is ginger...or maybe clove...or perhaps anise?! Can't quite figure it out. That said, the spicy kick is almost too hot for me right now so I'm gonna let it steep another week before trying it again just to see if it will mellow out a bit.

I tried my first BB order today. I just got it so it will be interesting to see how it steeps but I had to try it right away. Tasting honey, graham crackers and a couple of other flavors mixed in for mystery. I was not really expecting to like this one thinking it was going to be too sweet but the flavors are very subtle and I like it a lot. AVE sent a sample of Hype and that one smells amazing but not sure it will vape as well.

I finally tried out some BB and it just may be my favorite juice ever . Its so good . I dont know where you guys get lemons and cherries and stuff from .To me its very refreshing . I thought it was going to be a tobacco juice and i dont taste any tobacco at all . I get coconut mixed with malted milk (like the inside of a whoppers candy ) and a slight hint of chocolate .Maybe a very very small trace of grahm cracker but coconut and whoppers for sure .

Btw the amount of vapor is ridiculous . Tons and tons of it and iv have tried a bunch of 100% vg juice . just baked out the room with vapor

Also goes great with DV strawberry tart . Thanks to Killjoy1 for sending me a sample .

Oh oh, what I feared has happened. I have had this stuff for about a week and it is getting pretty frigging awesome. Since it is almost twice as expensive as my go to juice I didn't really want to like it this much but maybe as a change up type of juice. I keep telling myself show self control and you don't need 100ml bottle of the stuff but the taste, throat hit, and vapor production are so good. So the question now is will the cheap side of me win out over the Boba's?
