Scott, my guess is those juices are plenty steeped at three+ weeks. Instead, what you're running into is a "taste acquisition" issue. If you were to fill up a clearo with that Gandy and just vaped it for awhile, you might find you got hooked.
Thanks, I'll give it a try and report back. Just now, all my tanks are freshly filled, but one will open up soon ...
As promised, here is my report on Gandalf:
I cleaned and filled one of my eGo-C Type A tanks with Gandalf. It meters at 2.2Ω and I set the Twist at 4.1V to give me my preferred wattage of ~7.5W. I used this as my out-and-about setup, and vaped it exclusively while not in the office. While in the office, I just put the Gandy Twist in my regular rotation.
I can see why folks like this, and the similar Dragon's Fire and Pirate's Booty. They are all three very pleasant pipes ... and there is no doubt, these are pipe tobaccos (as opposed to cigar or cigarette tobaccos). I am no longer the connoisseur of pipe tobaccos that I once was in my pipe smoking days, and my taste has probably atrophied somewhat over the years, but I think I detect Turkish as one of the major tobacco notes, with hints of Latakia and Bright Virginia. As for the other flavor notes present, there are some subtleties that pop up here and there, but they are so fleeting that it's hard to pin them down. Was that a bit caramel, there? A raisin, perhaps? Can't tell ...
I would use the following words to describe Gandalf (and Dragon's Fire and Pirate's Booty,as well): relaxing, smooth, subtle, complex, unassuming, warm, comfortable, andmost assuredlycontemplative. This has all the elements of a great all-day vape, and I'm sure many will find it so. It doesn't call attention to itself like, for example, Boba's Bounty ... Gandy is like the solid, head-bobbing, toe-tapping bass line that lays the background track for your daily vape. You don't get tired of it, but you lay it aside once in a while for something a bit more wild to take a solo ...
I said Gandalf was contemplative, and for me that's the perfect descriptor for Gandy. It's the vape I want when I'm just ruminating around, pondering, building sky castles, fantasizing ... it's a daydream vape.
