Hello All,

I have noticed recently that it after steeping Boba's for at least 2 weeks it dramatically transforms the juice from good to excellent. I tried vaping a fresh batch out of the mailbox and one that I had for 3 weeks and the two juices tasted completely different. I just wanted to see if anyone else had a similar experience w/ Boba's.

Yes, I agree. It does seem to be in it's prime right around two weeks. It greatly depends upon how much you have been vaping it as well. My taste buds go numb to the flavor when I vape it exclusively for too long. When I purchased it in 100ml bottles, I swear I totally lost the taste halfway through the bottle. Now I only order 30 ml bottles, and when I start the new bottle, it tastes good as new again, because it is.

I, personally, vape it fresh. I live with the stuff so letting it wait a few weeks seems counterproductive, but I have had the opportunity to vape many aged bottles of Boba's and it is quite tasty. Different too, but that's a variety of time and chemical processes that the liquid is exposed to during that time (temp, sun light, etc.)

Letting a bottle sit in the car for two weeks over summer is not going to net the same result than if you let it steep for two weeks in a dark cool place.

All-in-all it boils down to preference. "Less filling!" vs. "Tastes great!"

Fresh for me, too, right outta the mailbox :) Don't get me wrong, it is nice (and a little different) after a good steep, but to me it's not that much better that I'm willing to wait a few weeks before vaping it

I certainly won't be waiting once I get my next bottle in, it's been months since I've had any BB in my cupboard . . . my CC is all ready for a couple hundred ml :lol:

Don't get me wrong guys. I'm down to .5 ml of Boba's that I've been saving for a special occasion for the past 2 weeks. When I finally get an order of Boba's in I will be vaping that stuff the second I get it ouf the mailbox. I will try to order enough to last me at least 6 months as I am curious what a 6 month old Boba's tastes like. I've never managed to keep any around longer than 1.5 months.

Last time I ordered 200 ml of bobas and 200 ml of GJ and I thought I was good. Then my wife decided to become a BB and GJ junkie like me and messed up my inventory :(

I'm fortunate enough to not have to share my Boba's with anybody. The bottle I'm working on is about 4 months old, I believe, and I can't say that I notice a lot of difference in the taste versus Boba's that's steeped for a few weeks. I also vaped Boba's exclusively for well over a year up until a few days ago when I discovered my little bottle of Dreamberries, so I might have developed a bit of numbness to the flavor.

I do find that I prefer the taste when it's good and fresh, but I travel enough to require bulk purchases; I'd probably cry a little bit if I ran out on the road.

Guess you can say mine is well steeped. About halfway into the last of my 100ml bottles I bought just before the move.

Hope Ben has another sale after the crash and burn so I can restock.

Ditto! Down to about 50ml and have started back with it as my ADV since we're nearly there (are we there yet?).
