Preface: Post started out short, got long. whadda ya gonna do (_:

Greetings to the crowd here at the Aroma forum.
I'm olderthandirt, those that know me refer to me as OTD when they can't get away with #$%^&& or &!@$#@.

Late 2009 or early 2010 myself, Tropical Bob and Twisted Victor participated in an efficacy and taste test of one of DVap's really early batches of WTA. At that time I was vaping 36mg unflavored, snus was candy and I went through snuff like there was no tomorrow.

Started smoking a pipe not long after that testing, packed the vaping gear away and fell into the company of codgers and their briar! Bad company for one with a predilection to all that is tobacco!

Long story short, fell off the wagon completely a few months back, hit 15 cigs a day and I dug out my vaping gear from storage and got back to ECF and bought new gear and proceeded to put paid to cigs again and renewed my association with Hittman the Enabler and saw that WTA was still around and.....

I got a bottle of the most recent batch. Jerry asked for my thoughts.

OK.

As best I recall from the test batch way back when it was a light yellow, had a somewhat earthy smell to it ("earthy" is PC for not so hot) and while it didn't necessarily taste bad it darn sure didn't taste good!
Per the test protocol I weaned off of everything else and noted how I felt over time while using just the WTA.
It seems I went about 5 days and couldn't take it anymore, snus, snuff and my regular 36mg vape came back out and all was good.

Now this current WTA is a whole different animal than that batch from the way back.
Clear as clear can be. There is a pleasant woody kind of a scent to the liquid that almost comes through in the vape.
As for efficacy?

Oh my.

I've been sitting here dripping the 24mg unflavored 100% VG on an old 510 for a little while now.
I saw where a few folks have questioned how is it that 24mg can be considered "High".
The answer of course being the additional alkaloids present not only aid in the enhanced absorption of available nicotine but also add their own beneficial qualities to the whole.
Well I'm here to bear witness that that is not a bunch of hooey but the plain unvarnished truth to the matter! I haven't felt as gently relaxed as I do now for a long time!
This WTA is the bomb, the cat's pajamas, the bees knees the....... sorry. Little carried away. Going to cap the WTA bottle now.

Obviously been a lot of improvement in the WTA process over the last 3 years, I can't begin to imagine how it could get better than it is now!

I can see where my first vape of the day is going to be dripping a little WTA from here on out. Time of course will tell but I do believe the occasional hit of WTA will easily quell the persistent call of the cigarette.

DVap, Jerry, and all the others that brought this to fruition.... I salute ya'll!

Hey #$%^&&!

Good to see you back on the wagon. I remember that batch made for testing back in '09, and it included a rather unfortunate choice of tobacco.

I've always used the term "woody" to describe the taste of good WTA, but I also add the term "honey" to describe the mild sweetness.

Now if I could only get Jerry out of the lab long enough for him to take my calls...

Honey or an almost cotton candy kind of sweet from most of the unflavored base I've tried but I get no sweetness at all from this one. And that's actually a plus in my book.

I'm beating the fresh out of bed urge to roll up a smoke just now with the WTA.
I can't get over the difference between this at 24mg and the 36mg I've been using for the past several weeks. Stunning! (-:

rounding third and heading home...
what a great story! this new batch is so much better than the unfavored I did just a couple of months ago. my only problem will be
1. liking it too much
2. same as always-availability. it's not fair to have such a nice product without being able to order it when needed... one bottle limit! I would buy the production run if I could......

I'm right there with ya peter.
Still can't come to terms with just how good this WTA base is. Amazing.

I can deal with the availability of it though if that's what it takes to maintain the quality.

I wonder just how long this 15ml bottle will last if I only drip with it, in the mornings only....

my problem(or not ) is I don't just drip with it the morning- sorta if i'm awake i'm dripping(or it's in a tank). heck, if I could figure out how to sleepvape I would......

this seems to be the most active/recent thread in this subforum, so rather than creating a new thread i figured i'd ask here.

is there really no option for 18mg on the site? it's either 12mg or 24mg? i tried going down to 12mg and found it wasn't enough for me. after a month of that, i'm back up to 18mg. can anyone who usually vapes 18mg non-WTA liquids give me some feedback on whether or not the 12mg WTAs are satisfying enough for them?

I have vaped 12mg WTA infused and its been fine. Normally I vape 18-24mg non-WTA juice. But the best way to do it for 18mg is to order a bottle of 12 mg and a bottle of 24mg. You mix the 2 bottles together and you get 18mg juice. They have to be the same size bottles for this to work. So a 10ml bottle of 12mg and a 10ml bottle of 24mg mixed together gives you 20ml of 18mg juice.

Sorry for hijacking your thread OTD
