Thanks Vapinglady. I did not in a million years think it would be this easy. When I ordered, I was hoping for the best but in the back of my head figured I would not like it. Man was I wrong. Have not had one analog since Tuesday night now, and really don't crave them. Once I get past my morning coffee, I'm good as gold. I'm still in a bit of shock.

Now my problem is I can't stop spending money. I just ordered more juice and a Provari. lol.

First of all...congrats on quitting analogs! I thought the same thing when I first started vaping..it was too easy/good to be twue!! Secondly...WOW..and....WOW! You're really jumping in with both feet and not beating around the bush with vaping by getting a Provari!! GOOD FOR YOU! Your initial investment will be high, but the payoff will be well worth it (and just keep in mind how much money you WERE spending on analogs and that will keep it in perspective for ya!) You have chosen a great new pv and an awesome juice supplier Jack! Way to Go!

It's alright but a lil more tabaco could make this stuff rock.

I have to agree. I have been working on 10ml bottles of Applewood, Maple Tobacco, 555, Honey Flue Nut and Hunter's Blend from BWB and the Applewood is easily my least favorite of these tobacco flavors. The apple is just too stark of a flavor in the blend. I plan on letting it steep the longest to see if it evens out some more. I have a feeling that it will.

Hunter's Blend, in particular, is awesome.

Now see? This is proof that tastes vary.

I really, really like BWB Applewood. The thinner consistency makes it perfect for loading into a cartomizer, but it still drips well.

I agree that allowing it to rest/steep for a couple weeks seems to enhance the flavor and bring out the tobacco. Also, I like juices which are amenable to mixing; I hope Don doesn't cringe if he reads this, but mixing it 3:1 with a neutral tobacco flavor (in my case, Dekang Hilton) made for an incredibly nice vape that reminded me of the pipe tobacco my grandpa used to smoke.

By itself, the apple does overwhelm the tobacco, but again, steeping helps with this.

My rating 1 = poor, 55 = excellent:

Aroma = 5
Flavor = 3.5 before steeping, 4 after two weeks in a cool dark place
Vapor production = 4
TH =2.5 - 3.0 I think nicotine strength affects this.
Overall = 4

So there you go. BTW, I sure hope Don gets back to me soon on an order I sent via e-mail yesterday; I'm out of Casablanca (excellent tobacco blend!)
