Awesome I do love a good cigar flavor. I'm excited to give these a try and see if they can get me to do a full switch from Analogs by giving me that flavor im looking for. I love me some good tobacco, only good one I have tried so far is American Tobacco from MBV which is a synthetic. While good its not quiet an ADV for me but a close runner up. I have been puffing on that flavor more then the other ones i've gotten from MBV.

Have you had experience with any of the other flavors i'm getting in?

GoodeJuice NETs tend to gain tobacco impact and flavor with steeping. Some need a little longer to hit the sweet spot than others. Patriot is becomes really good at about 4 weeks.

I respectfully disagree. It boils down to your taste preference. I taste a fresh tobacco flavor right out of the box. No funky flavors whatsoever even when it's fresh. You can really taste the naturalness of them. Steeping brings out a maturity aspect to the tobacco, hence the nutiness.

One of the great mysteries of tobacco eliquids---particularly NET-based tobacco blends---is the issue of steeping. The general knee-jerk consensus among NET aficionados seems to be that more steeping is better, but alas, such a black-and-white rule is not always true. It hasn't been for me, anyway.

I think it's probably safe to say that many (even perhaps most) NETs benefit from prolonged steeping---the longer, the better. But, depending on both the particular juice and the individual palate of the vaper, sometimes fresh out of the mailbox is best. Certain wines are better consumed fresh---like a fruity beaujolais. Same with juices. QuickNic ouR whY qu4tro---an NET-based RY4---totally blew me away when I first got it. It was superb. After steeping, however, the magic faded and the thrill was gone. As if someone had replaced my extraordinary and delicious juice with an ordinary and not-nearly-so-delicious look-a-like. It became a mere shadow of its fomer self. Patriot may be like that for you.

No one can reliably and dependably tell us how long a given juice should steep to maximize its yumminess. Too many uncontrolled variables exist. We're on our own here, with trial-and-error, and the occasional disappointment when a juice doesn't come around as we hoped or actually loses pizazz after steeping. But that's why it's good policy to test vape everything right out of the mail rather than assume that it shouldn't be touched for a month.

Sorry Max, all i had was their patriot. It was so good I just re-ordered the same. Maybe next time i'll be more adventurous. Can u do a comparison to the american from MBV once youv'e tried the goodejuice?

Just got them in yesterday, after letting them go through hot water steeping for a few hours and leaving them with the cap off to cool off for 24 hours in the dark im finally giving them a try.
The Patriot- Simply amazing. Tons of flavor, exactly like a good cigar, has the most real tobacco taste I have ever had. I can taste the smokiness and even the ash, I forgot I wasn't even smoking but vaping. While American from MBV was really good for a synthetic, it is no comparison for a true tobacco fan.
The other flavors are amazing as well and I have yet to really get a tankful of each but the small tidbits I took from each one were all very different and amazing.

Ok i'll give you some, maybe i should have worded my response a little bit different.
Johni sounded like he was stating matter of factly. I just wanted to highlight the "taste preference" aspect. I'd be more than delighted if you would express your opinion.
BTW, i truly appreciate the subtleness of your discipline. Thanks :2cool:
