Just received my order from Backwoods Brew of Backo 24mg and Virginia 24mg each 10ml and I'm disappointed, disappointed that I didn't order the 30ml bottles.Finally a great tobacco taste that I had been looking for.There both great for me with just a hint of some sweetness to it in both.I'm sure they will get better too as it took about 11 days to get here so I guess they somewhat steeped already by the time they got here.I know it's not the first review on these but thought I would throw it out there anyway.

I too am disappointed with the fact that ever since I tried malty toffee there is no juice out there that will ever compare with it for me. The taste and mix suit me so perfectly that I am now a lifelong customer of BWB....for that flavor. I will seriously die if he ever closes up shop or stops making that flavor. If I could I would marry that flavor :)

Please please please DO NOT leave the cap off for a week!!! That's terrible advice. Don't leave the cap off at all, ever. I'm too lazy to search but try terms like oxidize, oxidation, steep, etc.

1 week is more than ready to vape. Complex recipes will change over time, as the flavours meld together at different rates in different ways. Depending on your tastes, not always for the better. You may like one juice at 1wk, another at 1 month when a certain aspect that disagreed with you has ceded to another.

My advice is to try them all, if you like it now, great. If there's one you don't like, keep it sealed and revisit every week or 2 tops.

Now I have a question: How does Virginia compare to Backo? Which has better TH, and stronger/milder flavor, sweetness, etc. I love Backo haven't tried Virginia or Adirondack yet. Hunter's, Casa, and both 555s are also great.

TH is about the same to me but the Virginia is sweeter to me and a little more milder taste.Vapor production same.

Ignitor,

I gotta tell you I vape my bwb to the very last drop within 3 weeks of getting it.

I can't ever leave it alone to let it steep - the 10 days it takes to get here is about all it gets.

I've read that if you can wait a month it's supposed to be much more flavorful.

There is a bwb subforum here on ecf - maybe head over there and ask Don and the bwb veterans for their opinion.
