Wowboy has been pretty much discussed to death in this forum already, but I thought I'd add my two cents...mostly because I didn't plan on liking it but I figured I'd better try Wow Cowboy, Wowbacco, and Wowboy.

It's been described as tobacco with a hint of mint, chocolate and coffee. That's actually pretty accurate. If you've had Wow Cowboy, it is an incredibly mild and completely inoffensive vape - a very very mild tobacco flavor with a bit of white-sugar sweetness to it, the kind of thing that could mix with just about anything.

I think that's the base for Wowboy, then a hint of mint and chocolate that really covers any tobacco impression you may get unless you've tried the extremely mild Wow Cowboy to recognize that flavor - honestly, if this flavor had been named "Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream" (the green kind), I wouldn't have blinked. I think the coffee claim comes from just a hint of bitter, but its the same kind of bitter you can get from dark chocolate in the mint choco ice cream. And you have to vape it for awhile to get the sense of all those flavors.

I didn't really plan on liking this based on a carto sampler I tried before, but a single carto doesn't give you enough time get the sense of it. In fact, after trying it from the bottle I still almost moved the bottle to my re-sale pile. But due to all the hype I decided to take the time to find a really good performing carto for it and vape it alone for a full day (nothing spoils your impression of a flavor like trying it in a poorly performing carto).

Maybe it found a place in my heart because it reminds of my first juice - a Johnson's Creek vape I found in a local tobacco shop when I first started on a Smoking Everywhere and called all over the city looking for a smoke shop that carried e-liquid - I think it was called the "Crown 7" blend (not something you could buy from their website). Or maybe its just because it is good, but I'm a new Wowboy fan either way. That's my two cents :2c:.

This has become my everyday vape. When I first gave up analogs I began the search for "the" flavor. Marlboro's were the analog of choice for me...WOWBoy has become that equal in my vaping realm. I think the "hint" of mint might sway some to not give it a try, but the last thing that interest me is menthol/mint- this stuff will appeal to a diversity of people.
 
I havent tried it because I dont care for tobacco vapes.It sounds good though,Ill have to give it a try.

I wasn't too keen on the idea of it being a " tobacco vape" either. A friend of mine tried it and gave me a sample; I was instantly hooked. There's no tobacco flavor whatsoever. More like a sweet and smooth chocolatie flavor with a hint of mint. This would be my all day vape if V4L stocked enough of it :(

Next time it comes in , buy a bottle. You won't regret it.

Interesting! I have the chocolate peppermint, which I like. I wonder how these two compare, other than the mint/peppermint hint? I guess I will have to give this a try now! : )

Great description! So it looks like the bitter taste from dark chocolate, may be the difference, with a very mild tobacco. I will def. try it due to your excellent review.

It doesn't really strike me as a tobacco vape, not in the what-you'd-expect-sense, and its definitely not a menthol (I'm not really a menthol fan myself). It has enough flavor and complexity, but it is also underwhelming enough to make sense as an all day vape. I say "underwhelming" because I'm sometimes shocked to see people claim a really overpowered flavor, like say TV Atomic Cinnacide or a strong menthol, as an all day vape (that's like using a monster truck for a daily commute).

It is an all-day-friendly vape, not a knock-your-socks-off-amazing-delicious-discovery vape.

Thanks for the review uzza; I like it ok and your description is spot on. I still like premium smilin better; partly because I think all the wow juices are a little too thick and don't wick or refill as well as the light-colored premium juice options

Yeah, the Wow vapes like a 20% VG juice. A little less TH than premium, a little more vapor. Lucky for me, that's what I like. I haven't had Smilin' for a long time...if I remember it had more of a menthol instead of the mint the Wowboy has...you'll have to confirm though, its been awhile for me on that one.

I have never tried wowboy. Would love to sample one. I did get a box of 555 carts and I thought they would be great from the reviews but the smell was so bad to me and the taste too. I put a cart in my case and like to never got that smell out of my case lol. I use to smoke Marlboro so I may give wowboy a try. Just wish I could sample one. I know everyone has different tastes. I was saying earlier that I got some French vanilla ice cream carts that taste like licorice to me. I was expecting French vanilla like the cake frosting. That's why I've come to conclude we all have different taste buds

Tastes very similar to the Wowbacco.

Hmmm...not for me at all, Wowbacco was fine, but after Wowboy it seemed rather bland. If you don't like the mint to Wowboy...then Wowbacco.

Anyway, I've continued hitting this juice. Its strange, because the flavor isn't something I would describe as shockingly good, yet I can't seem to put it down. Its been a long time since I hit one flavor so long without changing it up. Definitely a satisfactorily complex and yet understated all day vape. The amount of time I like it without a change up impresses me more than the actual flavor and makes it hard to describe, yet very very satisfying. I'll definitely be ordering more of this in the future.
