I thought BWB RY4 was awesome right out of the mail. The other BWB flavors I have ordered are still aging, because I didn't think any of them were ready. I wanted to be fair and not rush to judgement, so I sat on them. I have a Maple tobacco that is nearing a month old. I opened it again tonight, and where it has left me flat on the weekly visits I've paid it til now, it totally pops tonight. I got almost no maple previously, and now I am getting a lovely, tobacco predominant juice with a great maple note in the nose and on exhale. Really, really happy, but I wouldn't have been unless I'd given it a chance.

Just a reminder that a lot of these juices aren't ready to vape right out of the mail. Don't rush to judgement, give them the time they deserve to be their best. A couple weeks can be the difference between "meh" and "Wow!".

You are so right Vapenstein.

I don't know about some of the Chinese suppliers, but the folks who make their e-juice fresh for each order definitely require time to age/steep. I've had some that actually needed four to six weeks to get the full flavor potential.

To me, this is why its crucial to order in advance and build up your stock of e-juice you like so you have some to use while some is aging. Its more of a money outlay initially, but worth it in the long run.

I bought 7 different eliquids and didn't like not one of them. Then it was like everything settled and blended, and now i don't know what i would do without backwoods brew.

Smoker for 35 years or more. Quit analogs the day i started with my tornado kit. On october 7 2010.

For the last three days i have been vaping backwoods brew (that is about 10 or 15 days delivered) and totally wicked. All 0 mg nicotine.

It helped not smoking cigs for a month and having gone off the chemicals etc., and vaping at around 6 mgs last couple of weeks. I still wanted to rip someones face off that first day. Third day not once did i drip nicotine. First day, about 6 gtts total nicotine, 2nd day only 3 gtts. Today none.

Backwoods brew has the most taste at 0mgs nicotine. Don't be surprised when you order 0mg nicotine that there is not much taste. And 0 throat hit.... Takes alot of the fun out of everything i can tell you.

But then around so far the third day all you have been vaping is the 0mg and you start knowing nothing but that and it gets easier. You start looking for your new favorite etc.,

so i'm thankful. Very thankful this third day to have backwoods brew. Have never tried any of their stuff with nicotine. But if you want to drop the monkey on your back and still vape. Buy a couple along with your other favs, let them sit for around 10 days.. And learn to like 0mg nicotine.

Uncharted territory for me.. Imagine no nicotine in my life now. No cigarettes for over 31 days. That was the easy part. Quitting the analogs. So far so good. I know i willl hopefully put up my vape equipment one day but will never sell or throw away. In case that "bad day" comes. Will still be able to reach up in the cabinet for vape stuff. But never to take that drive to the store to buy a pack of cigarettes again ever.

I would not keep them in the refrigerator, just in a cool dry place as with a refrigerator you get condensation from whatever air is in the bottle which can lead to bacteria growth in the long run. I've had it happen and it ruins things. I'm sure there will be some who disagree but I've seen it first hand.

Hi everyone. I have a question.....Do you keep your liquid in the refrigerator or out? What's the best way to let them 'breathe'? I got some MadVapes Maple Cream and various others and they are great so I'm guessing that the ones I don't like from another vendor might need this.

I just put mine out on my desk, with the lid off and the Dropper top off as well. I have 3 FSUSA's out for 2 days, still waiting for the magic to happen. ;-)

YOU my friend are a person to be admired. I consider myself to be a pretty tough and strong person, BUT I CAN'T DO THAT, even with battling throat cancer! I have managed to stay away from analogs, except one slip, for the last couple of years.
I guess its as said, everyone has a weakness. I hope you can keep it up! I really do admire your courage!

I received my first 3 BWB juices yesterday. I got RY4, Malty Toffee and MaxBoro. All three are very very good.

MaxBoro is the first juice that I've tried that actually tastes like an analog. It's great and I plan on ordering more.

I do have a question though. While it's a very good juice, I would like a little more throat hit. Will letting it age more give me that?

Or should I add a few drops of vodka? And if so how much?

The Ry4 is amazing. And the Malty toffee had me closing my eyes and just enjoying the vape.

If you've been on the fence about ordering from Backwoods Brew, get off the fence and order today, right now, this minute!

Next up for me will be the applewood.

Mmm Malty Toffee - I didn't think it was all that great when I got it 22 Oct - just dripped a few drops a minute ago after steeping and and yumm. Like a rich cup of warm ovaltine from my childhood - perfect for a rainy day like today. Loved the Peach from day 1, but it keeps getting even better! Makes my mouth water. I let a friend try my eGo today at work, loaded with Peach, boy was she bowled over - an instant vaping convert - had to give her BWB's site address so she could get some peach ordered to go with her first kit. next up for me is BWB Watermelon & Strawberry - heard many folks say they're the best. Just have to wait for the money to catch up with the wants. Pretty sure I'm not going to be "saving" money with vaping for a while lol.

what nic did you order? i get pretty strong TH from most of BWB juices. some even at 12mg.

Agree. I got many BWB cause of the reviews on here. I tested a few when they arrived and they were all .... hardly of any flavor. Today, 2 weeks later, I've been vaping BWB applewood all day and had to order more of it.

It took 4 weeks before my bottle of Maple Tobacco popped. People shouldn't give up on this juice so fast. Somewhere between 1-4 weeks magic happens in those bottles.

Sometimes David when something as big as throat cancer becomes your diagnosis. Vaping with alittle nicotine brings back normal. And theres nothing wrong with that baby. I know because I'm a nurse. And in the back of my mind brought to the surface more than once is the fact both my grandmother and my great aunt both had lung and throat cancer. The good news is that throat cancer now days has a very high cure rate. So enjoy alittle heart palpatating nicotine and a big cup of coffee too! Nancy.
