Ok so after a VERY hard day helping a friend move, I got my package of my favorite purple treats and enjoying the vape. Someone else mentioned the RadioActive flavor coming through and that was actually my first thought when dripping Wakonda. Its really good though and so glad I got a bottle. What really surprised me was how amazing RootBeer Float is! I cannot believe I'm saying this but right now, fresh out of the mailbox, it beats out Wakonda for me. And of course I picked up another bottle of The Virus. Its amazing, no explication needed!
Thanks NICOTICKET for the great stuff as always!

Ok, i know im crazy, wife tells me all the time, but here is my take on wakonda. I do love coffee, but as for coffee flavored juice i do not. When i first started vaping i bought some from a local b&m store and it was horrible. I still have it in my box of shame. I knew nicoticket juice is not going to let me down so i ordered 250ml with confidence. I use a k100 mod with a kayfun lite plus and .86 ohm coil and cotton wick.. Fresh out of the box i just smiled and knew i had another all day vape to put in my rotation. But here is were it gets weird. Does anyone get a peanut taste from it after vaping it for awhile? I sure do and i love it. First hit or two is coffee, but then i get peanuts. My wife says its just me and she gets nothing like that. I admit i chain vape like no other and that may be what it is. I do love wakonda and hope it makes the roster full time.
I get a peanut sensation a time or two, but even then I got a metric ton of other flavors. Really fascinating juice.
I'm bummed... I put in my order Thursday am and now it will not ship until Tuesday, which means arriving Friday. Oh well, Clark, Katy, and the crew deserve a well earned three day weekend! Patience grasshopper, patience...
Patience my @$$, I'm going to vape something...

Steep time: FOOB
Nic Level: 6mg
Tank/Atomizer: Protank 2 with Aerotank base 2.2Ω microcoil with cotton
Mod: MPV2
Thoughts/Tasting Notes: Outstanding! One of the best eliquids Nicoticket has come out with to date. I get the coffee, the cream, the creamy mouth feel, the subtle sweetness, and it's all beautifully balanced. A little background: I'm a bit of a coffee snob. I roast my own green coffee beans shipped from all over the world, grind them in a burr grinder and use a multitude of brewing methods. I've only had terrible experiences with other coffee eliquids. I was hopeful for this one because it's Nicoticket, but still skeptical. My bar is pretty high. I drink coffee black so anything that gets hidden behind too much caramel or sweetener or other flavorings doesn't do it for me. I wouldn't change a thing about Wakonda other than my order size. I'm sure this will be gone before I can order another batch but if it's still around I'll get a small mountain of the stuff. This is easily one of the best flavors I've ever had the pleasure to vape and it hasn't even aged a day. Get it while you can.

It is really cool how the black coffee stands out from the juice. I've got some of the super steeped batch, and the coffee doesn't seem to blend in like I thought it would, it stays separate from the rest of the flavors.
That's very good to hear. That bold up front coffee flavor is what makes Wakonda so unique and amazing. I was worried the coffee might blend into the other flavors and become difficult to find on the palate. Thank you so much for posting about the deep steep characteristics. I only have 30ml. It won't get much of a steep anyway!
Yep it is, the mod looks different now, check the avi, and the Wakonda is dropping too fast. Big mistake to put it in the Reo, I have a serious problem with this flavor, I like it way to much.
At the moment at least it is by far my favorite of all, it is my GCD, I've not quite caught up with Megan but approx 30 mil in a week is getting pretty close.

Now THAT is a lot of happiness all wrapped up in a pretty mod and a lot of juice!!!!
As soon as I can make up my mind about what color/color combo to get it will be on it's way, AND I got on the list for a dibi today so next year it will have two siblings.
The lil' reo needs a sibling . . .

Thoughts/Tasting Notes: At first toot, it was a little weird. But I kept vaping it on and off throughout the day in my rotation with Virus and GCD and now I cannot put it down!! Clark is an EVIL GENUIS!! LOL! JK Clark you are not EVIL, but somehow you got me loving this juice! Anyway, I do love it and will continue to vape it. Permanent flavor maybe??
Just a side note: out of all the new short run flavors I have tried, I have to say this Waconda and the Banana Puddin should both be added as permanent flavors for Nicoticket. I know space is limited and you need to keep some space for other short run flavors, but you need to build an addition to your lab or something so I know I can always get Waconda or Banana Puddin whenever I want to!!
As Always - Vape On! and Vape Strong!!

I think I definitely need to let mine steep for a bit. I'm just getting a teeny, tiny flavor of coffee; it actually tastes just like the virus for me and that 30ml bottle I've had since Feb. I must have gotten some sort of unfortunate vaccine because I've yet to be infected.

I never got the Virus from it so far (I get a lot of caramel from the Virus) but Wakonda does change a bit. At first I didn't get too much coffee, if any, and once in awhile this is still the case. But usually when the coffee is there, it is definitely not a background flavor for me. Sometimes it's real strong.
I wouldn't be too disappointed, it WILL come!

I also find it pretty close to H1N1 but... with something more. I actually like it better - and now I find H1N1 to be "dryer". But I like both of them. Can't wait to see how it will change with steeping. I have 2 50ml bottles, will reorder as soon as the first one is almost empty so I can let the second one steep a month or two. I don't get coffee, though. I wish I did.
My taste buds must suck because I was never able to get a caramel or even a sweet taste from the virus. I still envy all of the infected for getting the flavors that I can't. I am remaining hopeful for my Wakonda though.

Cream up front, with the coffee not too far behind. Good throat hit. A hint of tobacco very far in the background. It reminds me of a latte after you get halfway through and the coffee and milk have blended.
Every other coffee/cream flavor I've tried is too sweet and heavy. This one is actually quite light. It's not quite an all-day vape, but it's a nice one for a couple of hours when I relax at night. It's definitely staying in rotation.

As far as I can tell Wakonda just keeps getting better and better, for me it is much more infectious than Virus.
Wakonda has moved to the very top of my list and I am having to almost ration it to keep from going through my 200+ mil too fast.
I have vaped nearly 40 mil in a little over a week.

Even though I like pretty much everything I've gotten from NT, except Refresh, definitely NOT for me, I've had such poor experiences from coffee flavors especially if it's not in a carto and I really don't fool with those too much anymore, but because of that and I've had similar experiences with vanilla I was overly cautious with this one and only ordered 15mls. Here is my experience.
Nic level: 6mg
Build: 1.5 ohm Rebuild Protank 3 head, 28g nanocoil 12/11 wraps with organic cotton
Device: ZNA30 @11.5-12.5 watts
Experience: Straight up on inhale I do get a slight "bitterness" or harshness depending upon how you perceive it and I can see how this is described as a "strong, quality" coffee. Definitely loads better than ANY other coffee flavor I've tried. On exhale the sugar and cream slowly emerge forth and the same "real" tobacco flavor that's only in NET's but is perfected in NT's liquids lingers in the background throughout on inhale/exhale. I vaped mine right out of the mailer and I can tell that it needs more steeping time to really shine. I also can see how some compare it to H1N1 and Radio, two of my favorite NT liquids. I also get where people perceive a "nuttiness" and I'll go more into that in a minute. This is definitely a great vape as it is, but to me where I've discovered it's love is in a mix I make with it.
For awhile now PBC has been my go to juice. After a few days I set it aside briefly to discourage vaper's tongue and just for a "new" experience and I'll usually pick up one of my fruity or "lighter" juices for a few tanks. While I have other juices I fancy, and this breaks up the monotony, I've discovered it also makes PBC that much better to come back to! For me where this juice really explodes is when I mix it WITH PBC! I found for me the mix I like the best is 2/3 PBC 1/3 or "slightly" more or less is perfect depending upon my mood! Upon discovering this I immediately put in a big order for more Wakonda, as I don't want to run out anytime soon now! I'll prob order more tomorrow on payday even like I did with PBC. If I put much less than there's not enough to truly notice the distinct and delicious complexities of Wakonda. If I put more, say 50/50 then it becomes a bit overpowering to pick up the creamy peanut butter bliss I've come to love about PBC! YMMV!
I bought this to drip and ashamedly I haven't yet. I love my mix so much I want a continuous flow of it! I'm going to drip it once I get a good build put together. I've been working so hard on specialty coils that I haven't even dripped recently lol! Once I drip it I will add my notes on that. To sum it up this is an excellent juice alone or mixed and I too think it should be kept as a regular! I mean the French weren't wrong about "French" fries after all!

THIS ^^^^^ is SO true, every.... single ..... word! And another reason why PBC *must* stay on the menu. I love Wakonda as it is and don't need PBC to make it fantastic, but for a change of pace PBC brings out something in Wakonda that I love. But then, PBC does that to SEVERAL Nicoticket juices that I love. Like getting two juices for the price of one and keeps everything fresh and new tasting when you change it up and add PBC.
