Is vB able to handle Bootstrap? If so, how should one go about doing it?

Are we talking about this (http://getbootstrap.com/)?
If so, any website should be able to support Bootstrap, as long as you heavily modify the templates to meet the standards of Bootstrap.

I actually have in mind to make a style based off that.

Yes.

So i'd have to modify ALL of my themes templates then?

Yes.

This is a large undertaking, even for a seasoned web developer. I would at least estimate 60-100 hours for vBulletin, some sections like the calendar would have to be re-written completely or omitted from a responsive view.

A vBulletin beginner should not be looking at this as an option.

Lastly, it is possible, I have seen several users implement a bootstrap strategy.

Yes, Bootstrap uses different names for the classes and id's. It's not possible to just include the Bootstrap CSS file and then it does all the work for you.

Well, i don't consider myself particularly new to vBulletin :P

I'm building a bootstrap homepage and I just figured I might as well include it into the forums. If nothing else, I can contact one of you to help, yes?

Sorry, I didn't mean to infer that you were a beginner, just that a beginner should not try to rethink the code at this level so soon. :)
