Sorry my post was not meant to confuse, as the rip off site relies upon just that, I've heard quite a few mention the Boba's Bounty rip off is a putrid mix, and even have heard it tastes like ... before AlienVapor is the rip off site, as I posted originally Alien Visions E-Juice IS the real deal If you didn't get it from avejuice I can certainly understand how it might taste that way. The real stuff isn't for everybody, but I don't think I've heard it described as tasting like .....

Hope you didn't fall for the rip off site, avejuice has quite a few nice flavors, and the real deal Boba's Bounty is amongst them actually forgot the name of them, and will never order from rip off guy just because he did that intentionally.

So is Avejuice or alien Visions the real deal?

I didn't mean it tasted like ... literally. I should have said crappy or yucky...something like that.

Two other great tobaccos that are a little on the sweet side are VR4 & Madagascar Vanilla tobacco from Vaperite. Both are organic, both are NET's and both are great! I know Vaperite doesn't get much talk, but these two are worth checking out. Some of their flavors are hit or miss, others are nasty, but they do have some amazing juices as well. VR4 got a Vapestein award for best RY4 in 2010, if ya'll remember those.

Ha. yes.. ... and prunes... Old people ...?
Tina,
As other have said, if it didn't come from AlienVisions it's not Boba's. In fact, I'm pretty sure the other site makes their Boba's with distilled essence of ....

When I got my first bottle of the real Boba's I didn't like it at all. I had it in a carto tank and was very disappointed so I left in the tank (because I was lazy and didn't toss the contents and clean the tank) and tried it again about 3 days later and it was not bad. I ignored it for other flavors and tried it again from the carto tank about a week later and the sweetness really came through and I enjoyed the rest of the tank. Then I took the top off the bottle and let it sit for a week with the top off and I really like the juice now. I think it needs to get some air for a week or so for the flavors to marry properly and let the stronger flavors mellow a bit or something, but it's entirely different when I do that and the juice I hated had a whole new personality I really like now.

Definitely intentional.He even went so far as to name the company alien vapors, so when you search for bobas bounty, browser comes up w fake site first since its first alphabetically. They knocked off several other vendors flavors as well

But did you try it on a Provari? - j/k

What's your delivery device? You probably know that different ohms etc. deliver different tastes though and when people give their opinions about what their tasting, I'm always curious as to what they used.

What mg nic strength? (I find the different mg nic each have a slightly different taste, and yes, I had to order some of each just so that I'd know.)

Do you shake the heck out of it each and every time before you drip, fill a tank, carto, clearo, or whatever setup you're using?

It takes 3 to 4 weeks for the flavors to get happy inside that bottle (bigger bottles take even longer IMO). Some people do like it right out of the mail box though, but I'm guessing most of us prefer 3-4 weeks or longer for 100% VG e-liquids.

Good luck and keep us posted:)

Yep. I have a Provari. 6 nic strength. Shook it and then some. I have clearos and carto's.

Looks like you got the REAL DEAL Boba's Bounty. I really wasn't that big on it when I first tried it, but it grew on me to the point I have 300ml of it sitting here, and have gone through over 200ml since the big sale back in Dec.

Boba's isn't the best juice for either a clearo, or a carto, Kind of thick. I don't really care to drip it, I enjoy it the most in my Kayfun clones with cotton wick, it is just OK to me in either a carto, or a bottom coil such as evod, or protank. It definitely isn't a flavor for everyone. And as mentioned nic strength does make some difference, I have tried 12/18/24mg, my stash bought in Dec. is pretty tasty, but not that different from the day I bought it. I would leave it hang around, and try it later, some say it goes through multiple change out to about 5 weeks, I can taste them, but it is very subdued to me.

Have 60ml of Tribeca here, and wouldn't really say it fits with what your looking for, its decent juice, but more of a nuttier flavor to me, I have a 30ml bottle of Halo Torque 56, now that honestly smells like ..., and for me the taste isn't much better. As others have suggested RY4 is probably closer to what your looking for, problem with RY4, is the flavor varies a large bit by vendor, and it may take a bit of trial and error to track down what works for you.

I have some Ahlusion Smooth Criminal, some compare it to Boba's, but to me nothing like it, I hated it when I got it, but a month out it is pretty sweet, and tasty, El kamino from Good Life Vapor might be a candidate as well. Another interesting Tobacco juice, Nicoticket H1N1. though the maple can be potent at times, flavor tends to morph a fair bit, and can vary from hit, to hit even, I think anyone of these might work for you, Ahlusion definitely needs some steep time, I've seen most mention 30 days, and I wouldn't disagree.

Obviously just my opinion, but I've been around a bit, If you want less Tobacco, and some good flavor give Good Life Vapor Deadly Sin a try, this is a very nice juice, but not much for Tab flavor to it, very subdued. I'm kind of a Tobacco guy, and it is a bit tough to find one that is just right.

You might also consider DIY, that way you can adjust it to your taste, is a few pretty good RY4 recipes on the forum. and it can be as simple as buying some RY4 Double flavor, mix it with a premixed base, and your good to go.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write that. Very helpful and I appreciate it. I'll try those. I have some RY4 that I like. I usually mix the tobacco flavor with something else. I really do need to get into DIY. I don't know why I'm so intimidated by it. The liquids seem pretty easy. It's the hardware stuff that is over my head. I'll figure it out though. I'm determined. :)

Edited to say I almost bought smooth criminal. Think I'll try it.

Tina try Harleys Blend from Rocket Fuel. That is like a really rich pipe tobacco. I am not big on tobacco falvors, but that one is awesome. This is my get home sit on the couch and vape juice. Needs a nice congac to go with it.

I will :). Thank you. I definitely need a sit down in the couch flavor. That's what I'm looking for. I'm in for a nice cognac too. :)

I tried Bobas a long time ago because of all the hype. I thought, eh. Put it away and forgot about it. A few months later I tried it again. Now I always have at least 100 mils of it steeping and 100 mils of Gorilla juice. I think they really shine in an RDA. That's how I end everyday. Couldn't imangine life without them! But taste is subjective.
