A couple of weeks ago I ordered a bushel of different juices from different vendors. They've been steeping ever since, but I got some out and sampled them this morning. Here is my take on Backo, Virginia & Smoke from BWB.

Backo
This is a good, clean, all-day vape. It doesn't "try too hard" which so often results in the juice having that caramel-y flavor I hate. Backo lets you know what you're vaping without being overbearing about it. Good TH. Compared to Virginia, this could be considered a "light" tobacco vape. BWB recommends a 14-day steep with this juice.

Virginia
Like Backo, this is a good, clean vape, but with a fuller body that still manages to avoid tasting like BWB tried too hard with it. It's got more of an edge to it than Backo with a great taste and finish. One of the better analog-like juices I've had. This was the only one I dripped more than once during my tasting session this morning and will probably be the first "new" juice that I load up a full tank with. Great TH. BWB recommends a 7-day steeping period for Virginia.

Smoke
The subtleties with this flavor are amazing. It's got a hint of a flue-cured flavor without tasting like a pile of burning wood. It's definitely got a rich tobacco flavor with a really nice smoky taste woven throughout. I was really impressed with this flavor and I keep wanting to say it tastes like the smell of a meat smoker without the meat taste. With great TH, this is definitely a keeper and would make a nice all-day vape. BWB recommends steeping for 7 days.

I also have Casablanca sitting here but based on the distinct aroma of chocolate/caramel in the bottle, I'm going to give it another week even though it's reached the 14-day steep time BWB recommends. I think it will have more of a sweetness than I prefer but based on my impressions of BWB juices so far it's definitely worth a try.

How will you compare smoke with backo ? Is the flavor on smoke very strong ?

Backo is akin to a light tobacco vape with straight tobacco taste, whereas Smoke is a fuller-bodied tobacco vape with the additional flavor that would be maybe a mix of a flue-cured tobacco juice combined with a BBQ flavoring. It's not light but it's not very strong either. The addition of that smoke flavoring is great IMO.
