First WTA experience: Aroma's Sahara

[Knight Errant]

Wow. Color me impressed.

I seriously wondered if the WTA would make that much of a difference, and I have to say the 'felt shift' is remarkable. Much more like what an analog gave me.

The vaped flavor of this Sahara e-juice is wonderful. Rich and full bodied with subtle flavor notes that evoke the Turkish tobacco blend it is meant to be reminiscent of. Very solid.

NOTE: From Aroma ejuice, I also ordered the Virginia Blend, the DK-Tab, and the Darjum Black Clove. The smell of the first two is very light in the bottle. I tried the Sahara first because it had a very rich aroma in the bottle. The Darjum Black Clove is even more rich smelling, but I'm going to hold off trying it until I have an tank and atty I can dedicate to the clove for awhile. My girl loved clove cigarettes, so that test will be mostly for her. More on the other three later.

Customer service was spot on. I received exactly what I ordered. I ordered on a Friday night and it shipped on Saturday. I honestly expected it to ship on Monday and was delighted to RECEIVE it on Monday. Well done!

My only caveats are that the ejuices only come in 10ml sizes and that availability of specific e-juices is hit or miss (I had wanted to order the Menthol P-38 WTA, but it was out of stock, so were several others including their Unflavored DIY Whole Tobacco Alkaloid (WTA) Bottle). Also, there was no choice of nicotine strength on the bottles I ordered. Obviously their production is struggling to keep up with demand. If the Sahara is indicative of their quality, I can see why. Hopefully it is just growing pains.

wait until you try the p-38 it is the best menthol I've ever tried. all the tobaccos at aroma just knock my socks off- my wife gets her fruity juice at other places, but I like tobacco flavors and aroma is the best.(wish they had larger bottles , also)

What does WTA stand for?

Whole Tobacco Alkaloid evidently. First time I've heard of it.

I too was skeptical but decided to try it because I was picking the analogs back up after almost 2 years off them. Today was the first time I used it and I could not believe the results. 3 vapes and it felt just like I smoked a analog after not having one for several hours. This stuff is amazing!!

I purchased it to see what it was like and to have my wife test it out, as she is having a rough time stopping the analogs. Anything I can do to help her stop smoking the analogs (she rejects the idea of using SNUS) is a win in my book. She already survived breast cancer. I have no wish for her to have to try to survive lung cancer.

I'm with Rolygate on this: I'm hoping that WTA e-juice gets the testing needed to establish where it falls on the risk curve. I am hopeful and optimistic that it falls roughly where SNUS does.

as far as risk, it has to be better than smoking- if it helps you transition off analogs than the time you use it can't be worse than smoking. wean down the strength(of the wta) and switch to regular ejuice eventually. you'll be better for it and so will your wife. I smoked for 45 years and I couldn't have quit without wta- but I have now(about 5 months).

The only search I do on ECF is for the term "WTA". If anybody would like an experienced (long term? Ha!) user's perspective I'm probably your man. I have vaped Aroma WTA ejuice for closing in on two years, and I mean WTA all the time, every day. I have no intention of cutting it out - I enjoy it and feel like a million bucks. I am your risk curve guinea pig.
I've personally flown to Arizona to meet Jerry Green who manufactures it from tobacco and witnessed the process, which is documented in my two blog entries. I need to go back, for I also made a great friend; in getting to know him I discovered a man of unusual dedication, personality and ethics. Plus apparently some technical changes may occur soon in the operation.
WTA isn't a silver bullet. It may have very different effects for people, including none at all. In my case I believe it takes an edginess off my life, but what I like most about it is how it feels sensorially, my throat, my lungs. Very satisfying.
Good luck with WTA!
