So very true. I was just thinking that having those scientists expressing their opinion so strongly provides ammo to those of us who are fighting against regs that might limit our access to e-cig products. Particularly the FDA deeming.

Thinking positive? I like that. However, that doesn't seem to work with global warming (I don't want to start a fight though).
The U.S. is the only country that refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol (again, I don't wish to start a fight).

I just cracked mine open last night after about two weeks. I know what you mean by the initial smell. I did not vape it FOOB, was too busy at that time. I know a lot of people steep the criminals longer but I love my Peachy at any stage.

What I'm getting at two weeks is similar to cocoa (to me). Not dark chocolate, not milk chocolate but somewhere in between. It is slightly sweet, but I don't think any more so than the other Criminals.

Here's what is weird: When I first smelled it, I knew something was familiar. It smells very much like a hard-to-find chocolate extract I use in baking, minus the alcohol (water, 37%alcohol, cocoa extract). As soon as I tasted it I knew there was something else about it. I still order a couple flavors from Kick Bass Vapor. This tastes very much like their Pebble Path Flavor I haven't had in a long time (Rocky Road - chocolate ice cream with marshmallow, dark chocolate pieces and nuts), only as if a little tobacco was added. I have recommended that flavor in the past when people ask for a "real" chocolate flavor.

Anyway, whatever steeping strategy you end up with, I think you'll ultimately be pleased with the chocolate.

I'm just squeezing the last few drops of Just Criminal from a bottle. Well steeped and yes, the chocolate does settle down a bit. I'll NEVER run out of this juice again I bet!

I just sent more glowing fanboy feedback to A+ for my Boba Tea Coconut order:

"I ordered Boba Tea Coconut in 60ml having never tried it. Plain Boba Tea has long been a favorite, and I love your coconut in other juices. I just knew it would be a match made in heaven, and I was right. It's a superb flavor, with a nicer finish, for me, than plain Boba Tea. So, it's edged plain Boba Tea from my top 3 favorites, but only just. Still love that one, too.

It's perfect exactly as delivered."

About Bananas Foster, can someone give a detailed taste review. Haven't tried it but may as well.

I tried Bananas Foster recently after steeping 2-3 weeks and was disappointed. The banana tasted green. I like ripe banana with sugar spots. And there was another flavor sort of like celery. I've put it on the back bench and will try it again later.

wow, now THIS is encouraging: Top scientists warn WHO not to stub out e-cigarettes | Reuters

"(Reuters) - A group of 53 leading scientists has warned the World Health Organisation not to classify e-cigarettes as tobacco products, arguing that doing so would jeopardize a major opportunity to slash disease and deaths caused by smoking."

Here's a BBC article on the same topic :

BBC News - 'Resist urge to control e-cigarettes', WHO told

Seems that the British are a year or so ahead of us. They have a larger percentage of ex smokers vaping, and thus the public discourse is further along.

Oh well YOU are the person I was thinking of when I put it on the wish list. I have heard you rave about that one many times! :laugh:

I dripped some approx. 2 week old Bananas Foster today. I got a nice ripe banana with a sweet, brown sugary/caramel exhale. I'm going to let it steep longer, but I got no celery or off tastes. But that's just me in a little 510 bridgeless atty on an MVP2. First A+ banana for me and it was a nice, subtle banana. But definitely banana.

I have heard some say they taste a celery taste in the base. I never have though.

I think most of the comments about celery notes were for pear flavors, due to the skin. I, very oddly, thought I had detected it in Fijian Nights, which, as far as I know, has no pear. Haven't heard of it in other banana flavors without tropical fruit, etc.
