I like Bobas, it's in my top 3 rotation currently, and that's rare with hyped juices. All the hyped juices I have tried I just did not like. Including all NETs so far. What's good for me may not be good for you. When someone is looking for a juice though Bobas is one I think they should try because I think there is a higher possibility they will like it versus other juices I have had.

i waited quite a while to try Boba's and really wasnt aware of all the hype just a few mentions of people loving it. I used to be hooked on Poison from Rawr but when i finally got BB i havent touched Poison and have yet to come across a juice that would make me put down the BB. So is it wirht the hype? it is for me...i love this stuff and no amout of hastle or waiting will keep me from it... :vapor:

For some reason in Tapatalk I couldn't reply to this thread, wondered if it got closed or something. Anyways, yes, I totally agree with this. If someone is at my place who is just getting into vaping, BB is the flavor I would grab first for them to try. Has a good everyman characteristic. It's the Tom Hanks of ejuice. Then I'd have them try some Devil Dog to try the Samual L Jackson of juice lol.

I started vaping BB today fresh from Mr. Postman. It's good. Too hyped? Absolutely. After vaping it all day - I'm pretty tired of it. Don't get me wrong. It is good and absolutely worth having around when the mood strikes.

If you like honey/graham/malt/cake then (fresh) it'll be right up your alley. What happens to the flavor profile after steeping, I dunno.

For all the hype I imagined I would NOT be looking forward to switching juices when I got home but I was.

In short - it's good, get some when you can but it's not THAT big of a deal. I like all my DIY flavors just as much and some even more so.

(The only mystery to me is that the name tells you the mystery yet no one seems to heed its clue)

I've heard someone mention this before, but I'll admit I don't get it. Maybe it's because of my specific age (was 6 when Star Wars came out) but the only thing it makes me think of is Boba Fett the bounty hunter... I can't think of anything related to that character which would clue me in. (I'm assuming it doesn't taste like carbonite, Han Solo (who was Boba's most famous bounty in the movies), or mandalorian sweat...)

Can you tip the rest of us off, or is it sort of "The first rule of BB is that you don't talk about the clue in the name"? ;)

Boba as in the flavor. Now as to the specific flavor concentrate that AVE uses and the specific "tobacco," I h(ave) no clue.

I've learned recently that the tapioca balls (aka pearls, aka boba) in boba tea is a starch made from the root of the cassava plant. I never knew that tapioca in the pudding was a vegetable.

I never did either. I love that flavor though. Boba goes well with chocolate, honey, coffee, coconut, and graham cracker (LOL) and all types of flavors. But, the tapioca flavor itself is what makes it. That is why I love vaping Boba Tea so much...I need to reorder it. But I digress. I want this thread to stay open just a little wile longer to get some more input, but after that, it'll be time to move on. There has been some really good posts here so far.

I like it alot. When I first vaped it, I thought meh, it's good but not that good. Then I let the bottle steep for a week....that did the trick. Wow, what a great vape. It's my ADV....plus I have about 3 dozen other juices from trial and error shopping. Some I like and will vape, others will never touch one of my coils again.

For me personally, it lives up to the hype and it is worth the hassle of trying to get it

I also like RY4.....I have some from Smokless Image but I'm open to suggestions....

There is one place for all the RY4 talk you can handle (and much, much more!) http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ws/193327-really-big-ry4-roundup-long-99.html.

Hope ya keep doing these Sound Off threads Mann, been fun.

Didjya notice the BB SO took one hour to surpass how the 555E SO did in 3 days? Boba's has been the belle of the ball for a long time, and even though it has many critics I don't think it's going anywhere, anytime soon. Even through it's popularity, I hope most newbies realize it's just one great juice out of thousands of amazing juices available to us.

Thanks, Jerms!

I do really like some of these posts, and I have actually come to a place where I can give BB a little more credit thanks to some of the honest opinions presented. Keep hunting.
