I ordered some Bobas Bounty and Gorilla Juice recently and can't tell the difference between them other than the fact that the Bobas Bounty tastes very sweet and the Gorilla Juice just slightly less-sweet.
What are these 2 liquids supposed to taste like? Are they supposed to be this similar to each other?
To me, Boba's tastes like honey and fresh leaf tobacco with some graham thrown in for good measure.
Gorilla tastes exactly like the old fashioned Circus Peanuts candy.
They aren't terribly similar to my palette, but then again, a lot of flavors that are popular, I can't stand. I suspect some of this has to do with the equipment one vapes on. I use a stock Riva510. This is far from a high voltage device, and frankly, that's cool with me as I don't want my vapes to be pungent or hot in temperature.
The other side of the flavor equation is your genetics. As an example, some people love cilantro while others think it tastes like soap. They've recently discovered the genetic code that makes this so. I suspect the same deal for those who like diet soda and those who can't stand it, or people who gobble up black licorice and those who gag at the scent.
E liquids are simply chemical compounds designed to emulate a particular flavor. Some people's taste buds will be fooled by the effort, and some people's will not. This is why 'flavor is subjective'.
You may find in a few weeks or months that your tastes change. I know mine sure have since my body has worked to repair itself after over a decade of smoking.
If it makes you feel any better, Boba's took awhile to grow on me. By "awhile" I mean a couple of months. Now it's a juice I want to keep on hand even though I did not like it at first.
I still think Gorilla tastes like those old cheap banana candies. Reminds me of being a kid.
Good luck!
