****Chatted with Don a couple hours ago****

Everything he said was going out in the mail has made it out... he also said that things will slow down at BWB through Christmas...

Don has had a family emergency and it will be a little difficult for him to respond to emails or chat with his friends on ECF for a few days. Don't worry, he's okay... but his presence is needed away from the brew facilities as much as possible between now and Sun/Mon.

He asked me to inform his friends on the thread... so if you see any BWB issues... you could pass this info along etc...

Thank you for letting us know lasttango. I have been wondering why he hasn't been on. If you speak with him again please let him know I join the rest in hoping everything works out well and he is not to worry about BWB at this time. We will all be here when he is ready.

Sending prayers your way Don.

Oh man... Sorry to here this. Good vibes going out to Don and his family. Hope everything works out ok.

I just stopped in to say hey and let the gang here know what GREAT stocking stuffers Don's juice makes. (as if ya didn't already know) lol Just got done with the wifes gifts and got her stocking loaded up with some BWB. Santa's going to make her one happy camper AND we are suppose to have a white Christmas! First time in 47 years down here in SC from what I understand. The wife loves snow so she's already stoked. :)

Merry Christmas Everyone!

We'll be keeping you in our thoughts Don.

I've been meaning to come here since my last order. Don, I REALLY like the new bottles man! HUGE improvment with the safety cap and high-flow nipple. The nipple is also a bit smaller which makes filling my 3-mL bottle used in my Phidias a BREEZE!

Not only are your juices the best, your bottles are too!

Merry Christmas!

I don't like the idea of leaving juice open. There are indications your juice actually loses nicotine potency when you do that. In addition it seems to me you are inviting your flavor to change to something the creator didn't intend by doing so.

Just wait the three weeks for the chemistry to work its magic. Brief exposure to the atmosphere is all it takes to trigger it. Trust me, I'm a Dr.

Perhaps, however, my last batch of Applewood had a very perfume-like, aromatic tone that I didn't care for. Leaving to oxidize and evaporate off some of the aromatics made all the difference in my case. It's 18 mg juice so I have no concern for a slight loss of nicotine potency. There's no way it could be a substantial enough enough loss in 24 hours that I would notice. Trust me, I'm a scientist....really...I am.

It doesn't surprise me that you like the juices Broseybrose... we have very similar tastes... Awesome... you should chat with Vapestein about some of his new discoveries.

I usually don't push letting juices steep... because they typically taste good to me from the get go - but Applewood and Honey flue and HF Nut will mellow and lose the perfumey taste after a few weeks... Don's using the same ingredients... but from what I understand from speaking with him is that it's such a delicate formula... that if he even goes slightly stronger in flavor... that perfumey taste can show itself...
It should mellow...

One of the best qualities to Don's juices is that they typically don't have any kind of perfumey or chemical taste... one of the larger complaints lodged against BWB are from those who require more of a flavor blitz...
So - I'd say sit on it for a week or so... and if it doesn't improve... either trade one of us or see if Don will do an exchange... applewood should taste really clean... not like chemicals...

Got our order... Casablanca, applewood, malty toffee, Honey flue.... Going to let sit for a bit, While I loved the malty toffee right away. ( compared to 1st order of MT) This one seemed SOOOO different! I am in love!!!! The others I think need to sit for a bit. Hubby did not like Casa... I kinda did. Thought in time it will mellow and be smooth. All have great great vapor. Looking forward to tasring again in a couple weeks

Yea, I've been vaping applewood for awhile now. I think this was my third bottle and I didn't have an issue until this last bottle. Don offered a refund (of course) but I decided to let it air out first. It was perfect after 24 hours.

I'm pretty familiar with Don's juices now. I know they're great! The maple is what got me off the analogs. :)

I have never been a menthol guy. I would smoke one every few years to remind myself I didn't particularly like them.

I gave my sister an eGo and a bunch of juice for xmas. She was really excited btw and it made me happy to see her take to it like that. BWB Menthol Tobacco was one of the juices I gave her, since she was a menthol smoker. I tried some of it last night, and I think I need a small bottle of this for me. It is surprisingly good.

Did you get some of the eJoker?
It is a nice tobacco menthol mixture.
I can see why it is popular.
Needs a little more time...only had it a week.
Kinda like RY4 + menthol.

Cool. Glad it worked out - I believe I ave officially tried all of the BWB juices (except pumpkin... never will ;-)

A few of the last juices I tried that I really really enjoyed were: Cafe Mocha, Virginia and Cappuccino.
Virginia was that plain cigarette vape that I had been missing in Don's repertoire - it's dry, flavorful and pretty straight forward. I will be ordering 30mls of that soon.

I had put off trying the mocha and cap because I already had the espresso and liked it - but these two are significantly different. The Cap is very flavorful... Similar to nHaler's if you have had that... but more vapor with the Backwods Brew.
The Mocha has a very nice chocolate - perhaps a chocolate that is neither flavourart or PA... I really like it -
anyway...
Merry Xmas to everyone...
