@Doorknob, I was not too fond of the Raf (ok, I won't lie, I did not like it at all)...but didn't give up on it and I sampled it a bit each day. Tonight I tried it in both a Boge 2 and 3ohm carto, as well as several different types of hybrid atomizers and really enjoyed it. I think it was a combination between my tastebuds getting acquainted with the robust and unique flavor combination, and the juice sitting for a few days and mellowing out.
On first taste, I enjoyed the overall flavor profile except for a few notes of something that ruined my perception of the juice (I can't describe it without being offensive)...but they seemed to have gone away almost altogether.
Im not saying that your juice will magically turn into something consumable if you don't like it right off the bat, but like most juices (especially made-to-order) a little bit of time to steep can dramatically affect it. I know Porphy claims that AVE liquids don't REQUIRE steeping, but I've noticed that Boba's also is a little more friendly to my tastebuds after a week or two (this three month old bottle has immense flavor, while the bottle I got 3 days ago is a little bit less distinct to me).
