If Boba's is a nod to star wars, then raf-a-licious is its Austin powers equivalent. Boba's is a serious vape, a grower. Bold, deep and only gets better with age. Raf is more light hearted, it's most certainly Goldmember's vape, a schmok and a pancake. There's a real light tobacco flavor to begin, and rounds out with a sweeter mapley flavor. My jaw about hit the floor.
I was planning on ordering 100ml of Boba's for the sale. Now that I've gotten to spend a little time with some Raf another member sent me, I may be doubling my order with a big bottle of that, too. I couldn't pick a favorite.

On a completely different note jifjifjif every time I see you post I think you look like MSNBC Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd.
And on the subject, I can not seem to put my Raf down, to be sure I still drip away with BB and GJ but Raf is just da bomb.
I tried to fill up a carto tank with bobas and raf since so many say it makes the carto last longer. Muted the flavor of the bobas too much for me and it made the raf taste like hairspray. I have now confirmed that poly fill doesn't work for me in any way.
I'm working on a homebrew bottle tank mod with CE2 guts. Lots of threads on the forums for various DIY CE2 tanks if you hate filler. I personally don't mind cartos, even if the flavor degrades a little bit on each refill. They are so damn cheap and easy. Let's just remember where we came from - my 5th refill of a carto with Gorilla Juice tastes a whole lot better than an analog.
Haven't tried Raff, but Boba's and GJ is where it's at for me. Rockin in a Reo Grand @ 6v. Freaking Awesome. I would like to try Raff though. Probably on Black Friday special.
Hahaha. I neead to go see what this handsome dude looks like now! Oh, also I lived 28 years in NJ. Freehold to be precise. Monmouth County.
I agree that the amazing flavors of AVE juices are muted in a carto or carto tank. Once I vape it, I realize that its only 1/2 as good as it can be and I start to drip it into an atty instead. I just can't disrespect Bobas and Gorilla by vaping it at half flavor.
I work for Monmouth County. Grew up in Howell.
While I can get avejuice to work in a carto, I do not even bother anymoe. The flavor and plumes I get out of a 306 or bridgeless 510 are just superior
I am still waiting on the 306 dca to be in stock so I can start dripping but until I will just clean the fluxes daily.
I just got some more bobba's and also a 18 mil bottle of gorilla juice and 6m bottle of raffa sampler thanks ave for the freebie sampler. first time trying GJ and i cant seem to put in down, on the other hand the raffa im not liking much.
I couldn't agree with sonny more! I have a bottle of ry4 from east mall and a bottle of RAF and they vape and taste exactly the same. Normally reviews say everyone has different tastes, but I'm not sure that's entirely true or there would be a top selling juice flavored like Brussel Sprouts. I can find no nutty taste nor vanilla in RAF or in the Eastmall RY4, they taste oddly sweet like a Chinese red bean curd dessert and have a slight taste of fish on the exhale. There is something deeply unpleasant in the base which stays with you and grows over time. In short I'm not a fan and I can't find anyone who will take it off my hands once they have vaped it. If you are a huge fan of RAF east mall has an endless and cheaper source of your favorite juice.
Hype however is a different story that tastes amazing and has loads of flavoring. If you like peach schnapps you'll love this. It evokes images of a summer holiday on a palm lined beach with a rollicking good book for company. There is no lingering aftertaste like RAF, it ends crisply and leaves you wanting more.
That's quite the compliment and I'm a bit flattered. If we were to put Chinese RY4 and Raf-a-licious under a GC/MS we would see very uniquely different juices but the idea was to go for the original RY4 flavor with a Boba twist, so what I'm seeing here is that it did pay off, but might not be the "go-to" juice for some. BTW let me quantify what I mean by "Chinese RY4" that is to say the RY4 we know and love is one of the original e-cigarette flavors which used to be fully named "Ryuan Formula 4" before we shortened it to RY4. Ryuan being one of the first manufacturers of the e-cig and a Chinese company. Dekang, et al. use the same recipe that Ryuan did but from different labs, the fact that we could get this effect without the original recipe and a lab is awesome. The bottom line being do you want the e-liquid pulled off the shelf (at a lower or higher price) or a juice competitively priced with prefab juices but made to order? This is the distinguishing factor between a prefab juice (at whatever price) and what you get from AVE.
Sounds good to me! I'm a big fan of RY4 like lots of folks. I just "blind" ordered 100 ml of the Raf-a-licious, Hope it's good..lol
I'm sure it will be great!

Get ready for more compliments then. I've just tried gorilla juice and it is amazing seriously and uniquely amazing. I've tried a lot of juice but this is something else. It's the juice equivalent of the pyramids, a wonder to behold and you just can't get fathom how Its made. That's just the taste which is powerful, yet subtle and intricate which moves elegantly between notes the entire vape at the end you just want more. It couldn't be better if it was made by Willy Wonka. The vapor production and consistency is remarkably thick and rich too. It's the most enjoyable juice I've ever had by a country mile.
Porphy you mentioned the price of AVE juice. I don't live in the US and hence pay a third party to ship it here which ends up costing about 3 times what AVE retail at and based on hype and gorilla juice I don't regret a cent of it and will probably order little else from anyone else. I've got a 100ml off bobbas which I'm yet to get to as the bottle doesn't have a dropper which is mildly terrifying but im guessing undoubtably worth it.
By the way what is GS/MS?

I have had the raf and the bobas. While the bobas is by far my current fav, my bottle of raf is only 1 day old. That being said, the raf is currently my all-day-vape. Alien juice has my vote as my preferred juice vendor so far.
