tried my first batch of boba's bounty a few weeks back. Initially, it had a graham cracker type taste to me (draw, inhale, exhale, all reinforced that taste). Actually it tasted like that for about 2 weeks. In researching, I found that "boba" means tapioca. I've never tasted that, so really can't say for sure (to me it still tastes like graham crackers!). After about 2.5 wks, the tobacco flavors pulled through. I hadn't actually tasted tobacco when vaping it the first 2 weeks.

I've found I prefer the "new" bobas, not the steeped. The TH is definitely stronger at about 3 wks, the tobacco is way stronger, etc. Thought I would prefer it steeped and am still very surprised I prefer it new, especially since I usually go for more throat hit, tobaccoey flavors.

I have a new addiction and it is going to cost me (i.e. small batch, more frequent orders). If anyone likes it steeped and wants to split a big batch with me (alternating paying?). i'd vape the first 50 mL new, and send the 2nd 50mL steeped to you.....PM me! lol

I did not like Boba's much when I first got it, got very little sweetness and a strong, strange pipe flavor. After a couple weeks I started to like it, then love it. The last few days I have been vaping it in a Vivi Nova and it's kinda perfect - a great balance of tobacco and a sweetness that I can't describe. I agree with some of the descriptions - graham cracker, raisin/fig, but would not have come up with those descriptions myself. I think most will agree that it is complex.

Strange story:
I work in a coffee shop and on 2 different days last week customers came in (one man, one woman), each was wearing cologne/perfume, and I instantly smelled the taste of Boba's! It was weird and I wanted to say something to my co-worker, but they would have no idea what I was talking about.

Trying different juices is fascinating because we are using our sense of taste and smell like never before and really noticing things.

I don't like tobacco vapes, mostly fruit and candy type stuff. But I thought I'd give this a shot even though I knew I would hate it. Nope, this stuff is great. It's like sitting in your study (don't have one) in a comfortable leather chair (don't have that either) and vaping away.
Great stuff right off the mail truck.

Im fairly certain i just got a bad batch of boba's bounty. My first go around was 18 mil and was a dream. I had only been vaping a short time and I had already found my all day vape. so naturally I ordered 100 mils. Now it tastes awful, Nothing like my first bottle. So I let it sit 2 weeks with no change. trying to figure out what happened gonna order another small bottle and see if its back to what I remember. In the meantime i gotta find something to mix this stuff with or toss it.



I have the same problem. I loved the small sample I got. Loved it so much I ordered 100ml and it tastes like nothing at all. I have some other big bottles of e-liquid with high vg etc and I can taste them all. I don't think steeping will suddenly make it go from tasting like nothing to tasting like the rich complex taste from the sample I got. I sent a help ticket and I hope I can get some good stuff. It was going to be my all day vape.

Gotta wonder if these bigger bottles are diluted some how. I don't know. I tried speed steeping in a small bottle and still get no taste.

I am finally trying Boba's Bounty after not wanting to be a sheep and follow the hype of a Star Wars themed e-liquid. I am tasting a malted type flavor or a yeast type flavor that reminds me of Guiness or Bottingtons. I am not really blown away with the flavor but I will stick with it for a while since many people say they didn't love it at first. It seems many other vapers get a better more complex can't live without flavor after a few weeks of steeping. It makes me wonder how Alien Visions intends it to taste because they claim steeping is not necessary and they believe they ship the liquid vape ready. I hope steeping will do this juice some justice but for now I am still searching for my all day vape.

First day straight out of the mailbox and boy was I pleased. I filled up my Smoktank DCT last night before going to work with Bobas Bounty. I also took a full tank of what so far has been my favorite (Dekang chocolate mint). Like a backup incase I wasnt fond of Bobas. Well, lets just say that the backup was not needed last night. In fact I was very happy with the outcome. The Bobas on first impression gave me a nutmeg type of flavor and a very smooth draw. One that I did not get tired of throughout the night. I am not going to even steep it as I feel there is no need.

I know it sounds presumptive to name something "official" when I have no authority and I am starting the thread... so I suppose it's only official if it gets some love from all of you.

The question is raised time and time again... what is Boba's Bounty? What does it taste like? Is Ben really in business with keebler elves and other mythological forest creatures who supply him with the Spanish Fly of Vaping... This Turkish Delight of vaping? MMM?

A Boba's Bounty Thread...

I am counting on BB fans to support it - so post away if you can... ask questions if you have them...

Lets give this a try... a lot of us love it... everyone always seems to have questions about it... no one can ever guess what Ben uses to actually make it...

First impressions...
What you think it tastes like...
What it reminds you of...
Any Boba's stories?
Does it mix well with something else?
What other Vapes do you like and by what vendors... (I am always curious about this because chances are if you like Boba's, I may like what else you like)

I finally ordered a sample of Boba's Bounty to see what the fuss was all about and I can honestly say I now understand what the fuss is all about. To 'me' it tastes like a definite smooth 'sweet' Tobacco (similar to 'Liquid Xpress Honey Flu Cured' & Smokeless Image 'Desert Joe') with something 'else' that makes it border on the indescribable but delicious that (for me) literally puts it in a class that stands alone. Honestly..... I had a feeling I would like it, but I doubted that I'd love it, but I did. From the first vape it's delicious and it does seem to get better with time. The more you vape it the more you enjoy vaping it. It's that simple and that complex.... :confused:

The ONLY issue I had with the Boba Juice is the samples are all (very very very thick!) VG based liquid and I prefer 70pg/30vg based liquids. I also prefer lighter colored liquids over darker ones. (Boba is a deep amber colored liquid)... but the exquisite flavor, vapor & throat hit of this 'nectar of the Gods' somehow gets you 'through' all of these minor issues. ;)

I realize you can specify the PG/VG ratio you prefer when you order larger quantities (which I plan to do in the very near future!)

As for it's 'under' notes? I have NO IDEA what's in there! :lol:
Chocolate? (maybe?)
Coffee? (more than likely?)
Honey? (probably?)

Who knows and who cares?! This stuff is delicious! :wub:

I had a feeling when Boba's Bounty won the top Juice of the year award, it had to be for good reason....

I so agree :thumbs:

If you 'like' sweet Tobacco juices I think it's pretty safe to say you'll love Boba's....

I have been vaping a bobas bounty imposter:evil: I purchased from a vendor in florida my first bottle of "Bobas Bounty" 30ml & Just received my first REAL order of 100ml from Ben in the mail GLAD I finally ordered from the source....The fake taste like a carmel chocolate mocca which from the reviews on Boba's kinda got me thinking maybe what I had was a fake:blink: & The fake was clogging my boge cartos within 2 days....Finally glad to be vaping the real deal:D

I'm sorry for this error... it appears "Alien Visions" juices are 100 percent PG free. For many of you this is a good thing. Wish I could persuade them to change that. :p

However, I will purchase the Boba Juice anyway. (I'll just have to vape at a lower voltage on my Mod)....It's THAT good. :D

They actually have some juices with PG, check out that section on their site. PG-Hype is super good also.
