The sweetness has mellowed so has the Peach and the NET...yes it's all coming together nicely!
(
The longer the inhale and as the vape heats, so does the sweetness* increase).-
There is not a ton to add except as with any complex e-liquid steeping does affect the vape, usually for the better and Atlanta is no exception.
I tried a build with RXW in the RDA alone, but this is rather futile as there is really not enough absorption of the liquid to feed the wick without it running out of the atomizer and all over your hands, mod, etc, so I opted to pack the cotton in the juice wells and under the coils and wick to aid in the juice retention and delivery to the wicking material.
This was a clean, first run build with the RXW that I feel was successful, as in my first attempt with RXW in the Erlkönigin there seemed to be too much air space between the wick and coil which can cause scorching of liquid because of the NET resulting in an awful burnt taste. Also in these styles of atomizers the wicks do not get as saturated as necessary for a good vape with Atlanta.
The vape is a smooth, yet invigorating blend of the subtle peach and mild tobacco which works out very well indeed.
I do not want to draw the conclusion that the steep time has necessarily changed the vape, the build is what has changed it, as I have also vaped Atlanta in a Kanger Sub Tank, and it is a hard call to tell the difference between a dripper and the Kanger OCC tank.
One thing I am positive of is that RXW is one of the only wicking materials that absolutely does not influence flavor at all!
In the cotton wicked built RDA, as also the Kanger OCC there seems to be a more pronounced sweetness to the vape, although it is subtle, it is more noticeable with these wicking materials (organic cotton).
Cotton, even good organic cotton does affect flavor, and is subject to degradation due to heat as where RXW virtually cannot be damaged by the heat used in vaping (a mod cannot generate enough heat to hurt the RXW).
No plug here for RXW, just fact, it is a superior product with a neutral affect on the flavors from vaping, thus giving one a very true taste of the vape!
(
The key here with Atlanta is the wick has to be saturated at all times).
On exhale there is the mild sweetness again, a bit more pronounced than during the inhale, very pleasant; I have found Atlanta to be a perfect vape with my morning coffee.
All in all I feel the team at Nicoticket has a real winner here and it needs to be left as is, with perhaps some of our observations duly noted in it's description:
As with all complex blends it only gets better with age.
Atlanta' true flavor will be best enjoyed with a dripper or BVC / OCC type tank system, as Kayfun style atomizers (vertical wick and chimney) do not seem to keep the wicks saturated enough to provide a good, flavorful reflection of it's true colors, regardless of wicking materials.
This is not to say that other clearomizers or atomizer setups will not yield good flavor, most will not yield as GREAT a flavor due to their inherent small wicking area in comparison to a RDA, or a BVC, OCC tank system.
I am very pleased with the setups that I have found to provide a superior flavor vape with Atlanta, and will try to keep it on hand in my stock as a daily vape, as being the adventurous type, I vape more than one blend during the day as to not get bored.
All in all the vape reminds me of a very subtle Peachy Mocha, again very subtle....it is a very hard flavor to describe, but I do know
"It's Great"!
"I don't usually buy E-liquid, but when I do it's Nicoticket, Keep vaping my friends!"
* on a side note regarding the sweetness of Atlanta; if you perhaps have gotten a little bit of Atlanta on your fingers and inadvertently licked them, you instantly notice that Atlanta is sweet...as it has had sweetener added to buffer the harshness of the NET...works very well!
Good practice is to always wear protective gear and wash you hand thoroughly after handling e-liquids!
