Well, now that I've blown through my little 12ml bottle to BB, I'm working my way through the 12ml of GJ that I ordered at the same time. Funnily enough, I didn't even particularly like them when I first got them (???).

I'm told that sometimes juices change flavor a bit as they sit and steep.

For those talking about Alien Visions closing, and will they sell the formula and such, either you're confused or I'm confused.

My understanding is that they have closed temporarily because Porphy‎'s wife, Christy, is sick. This isn't some giant corporation, it's a small business run by a married couple. She's sick, and he's taking care of her.

This is the post where he explains the situation. The same info is also on the website.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...leave-closing-extended-sale-delayed-sale.html

I did a search on Porphy's posts, and that's the last thing he posted. It's pretty clear there that they are only closing until she's well.

Maybe there is more information I don't know, but I'm expecting them to be back. It may be after the holidays. If I were them, I would be shutting down for a few days around Christmas even if their wasn't an illness involved.

Try AVE first. He does make the joose after all

I have tried to ask if he would deliver to Australia, but both times my emails were ignored :(
Smoktek is the only reseller I know of who ships to Oz, if anyone else knows of another one, please let me know either here or by PM

Cheers

Well, I received my package this morning. Talk about a great way to end 2011 and welcome 2012 with a new favorite vendor. First, I expected some delays in getting this as I ordered on the 28th, but I received it 3 days later. That's the fastest I've ordered juice and gotten it in my hands. Second, the prices were reasonable, for $50 I got 102mL's of juice shipped. I ordered 60mL's of Boba's, 18mL of Raf, 12mL of Gorilla Juice, and 12mL of Hype. The only other place I get cheaper is NiteLiteVapor, but AV has become my #1 right now.

I've opened my package not even 30 minutes ago, and I'm completely blown away by how smooth all the juices are (my first 100% VG juices) and how great everything tastes. My first impressions of Boba's was just one word..."exquisite"...At ~7 watts, the tobacco used tastes so exotic to me, and the rest of the flavor is blended so nicely, resulting in such a complex and delicious flavor profile.

Please excuse me now so I can happily place myself in a nicotine induced coma...:vapor:

so, I got my package last night when I came back from the new year's party... I was very excited to find it in the mail and VERY excited to try it! I ordered some boba and gorilla juice and raf-a-licious (haven tried raf-a-licious yet), all in 6mg nicotine.

I have to say it was the worst juice I have ever had. Super strong, awful taste (I let my mom try it and she described it as "cow tard")... I don't get it. It's just waay to strong (definitely not smooth) and the taste was so so. I am using an eGo-C. I wil try gorilla juice mixed with some 60/40 VG/PG from Pharmboy (banananilla) - maybe that will work better.

Anyways - like this it is a big disappointment for me.

Hey dOn, when I first received mine, I didn't particularly care for it either...I found it really spicy, therefore, kinda harsh. I left it for about 6 weeks and then when I was low on 'good' juice, decided to give it another go. By the time I tried it the second time, it must have steeped really well....it had lost the spicy feel and the flavours had melded really well. Inexplixably, I kinda liked it the second time around!

I bought 30 mils of Houseblend from copper creek because my 15 mils was almost out. I had a bottle of Boba's sitting in my cart for days and was getting tired of waiting for the option to check out. Well I started feelin' guilty and kinda miss that Boba's twang and tequila like smack I get and went to check to see if I could still get the discount. Yay! hope I still like the houseblend but I know I'll love the Boba's. Mmmmm Boba's

I got my first bottle of Boba's yesterday from SmokTek. The first drag was heavenly. It tastes to me like either a stronger cinnamon bun with honey or more realistically like a sopapilla. Love at first puff. It is only 6mg so that may account for how smooth and tasty it is but after using up every last drop in an echomizer I ordered two more bottles. With the shortages that the Chinese New Year usually brings I figured I would be able to stretch it out until shipping gets back on track. YMMV

d0n, it's the eGo tank. I've tried, to no avail, to get Boba's or Gorilla Juice working in both my eGo-T and eGo-C type A atomizers. It simply won't wick. That cow turd flavor you're getting is burning eGo wick. Try it in a cartomizer. Since you've got eGo batteries, order some Boge LR cartomizers from, anywhere really. You'll like it, or I'll buy the juice AND the cartomizers.

There aren't many VG juices that wick properly in an eGo-C/T. ecoPURE comes to mind, but that's about it, and probably because it's very light on the flavor, and thinned a lot for a VG only juice.

On second thought, it really is only the eGo-T atty's I had a problem with. It seems to be working fine on my eGo-C. Have you tried taking a "dry" hit? Take a draw on the eGo-C without hitting the button, it should get it to wick.

I'm smoking mine in a Smoktek Dual Coil Smoktank. Loving it!
I have an EPM variable tank I'd like to try it in, supposed to make crazy strong flavor, warm vapor. Will I have wicking issues because it is 100% VG?

My first bottle of Bobas, I annihilated in a B type tank system, but being new to the hobby, I'm not sure if i didn't know what a dry hit was, or if I vaped it no problems
