This is a new, interesting, turn of events... I've never tasted that. I must revisit this.
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!
Not only am I a bit enthralled with your descriptive talents, but it's a damn good case for PBC.
To be honest Kent, I haven't touched my GCD or Radioactive but once to drip since I started vaping PBC! I'm sure you don't recall due to the volume you must do but after I started on PBC I immediately put a BIG order in for it, well big for me lol, I've seen bigger for sure! Anyways though, as much as I love PBC, I haven't vaped it straight since I started adding the Wakonda, except for once. The next tank I went right back to my mix and that's pretty much what I've vaped since then! In a way it kind of reminds me of a Werthler's hard candy crossed with a caramel soft chew, the real Kraft kind you make candied apples with! It's also reminds me of how I make an English Toffee coffee blend I use when I add Smucker's caramel syrup and either heavy whipping cream in the carton or half and half. Smooth, creamy, coffee that's not too strong or weak, but just right, perfect even when I add the right amounts of everything and it hit's not only the morning spot but the "all day" spot! It's definitely "spot on"!
You know what they say, a picture's worth a thousand words! I want to say I received this Friday?
So yeah, have yourself a Peanut Butter Cup of Wakonda, it's good till the last drop OR drip!
You know one's become part of the rotation when you add a needle cap to it LOL! Time for some more drops for me, and hopefully soon I'll get a chance to drip it! Whatever you do Kent, you MUST keep PBC AND Wakonda, or make a similar blend and keep it! I might go back to smoking if you don't hehe and you wouldn't want THAT on your conscious would ya, knowing you could have prevented it.....
OK, I've been vaping on the Wakonda for the past few days and never really associated any peanut taste with it. I sat here for a bit tasting the Wakonda and drinking coffee. I can see where some of you taste what you would consider a peanut taste. My taste buds though see it as more of a tobacco type flavor/taste than peanut but definitely can see how it could be considered peanutty. Pretty darned good flavor though!!
.55 dual dragon coils in my Patriot between 11 and 12 watts on the DNA is magical. This bottle is foob and while I vape 0nic this liquid at 6nic is smooth, sweet and in your face which I love.
I get the coffee up front and then caramel peeks out followed by what I can only describe as sweet vanilla cream.
I feel a nicotine high coming on as I doubt I will be able to set this down today. Genius!!

Yes, it's a rebuilt Aerotank with an authentic VA chaplain tip! You wouldn't be the first to make fun of me if you wanted to, ha! With the builds I put in them I get clouds for days! I'm usually more of a "dripper" but when I don't have time this is what I use! I'm not big into genny style tanks and why pay top dollar when I already had around 7 tanks laying that look and preform just as well as $100 plus tanks? IMHO that is, ymmv! Instead, I'm spending the money on authentic high quality mods I wish to acquire!

Is that a ZNA30 I spy?
Ok, this is a bit of a revelation for me personally - I think I prefer Wakonda in 12mg over the 6mg (or, my ghetto 3mg). I like to keep 12mg liquid in the Kayfun/Russian. BB has been in the Kayfun for a while, but I wicked the R91 with cotton yesterday and loaded 12mg to test... and - yes. Yes. Strange - there's about NO liquid in my line-up that I actually prefer in higher nic levels (lower has always been better for me personally). Wakonda is becoming my "12mg tank vape"
It is for that reason that I've started ordering things in a variety of nic levels! I don't go above 18mg though, that would definitely be too much!
Why yes Kent, it is! Quite a few of them have been hitting the market lately as the "hardcore and higher wattage vapers" have been moving towards higher power chip sets like the OKR-T10 and the Naos Rapter 20A, on top of the Clouper "Hana" clones hitting the market. At least those factor in IMHO! Beings as I vape at the lower end of the spectrum but wanted more options I was more than willing to acquire a couple of ZNA's for the "right" price and because I like being able to have the option there for higher wattage and experimenting, 30w's is MORE than enough for me! For that reason alone I picked up an excellent deal on a Beautiful authentic chrome Hana Mini DNA20 w/ a authentic gold VA Cyclone. Wheras I bought the ZNA30's for my preferences in form factor and because I think they are among the most beautiful and well built DNA's out there, I also bought the Hana for similar reasons. I was never big on it's looks, finding it a tad boring but in this case that will hopefully be a positive. It will be my out and about mod due to it's smaller size and it's battery capabilities. The Cyclone, this being my second one to own shouldn't need any explanation especially at the price I picked it up for!
I'm on the fence about the recent Reo VW I purchased as it doesn't currently meet my needs or expectations with it's limitations. I think it's a beautiful piece though and worthy of collection status but I'm undecided as to whether I should trade/sell it for a different Reo that better meets my needs like a LP Grand with sub-ohm upgrade or put it up on the shelf for now! I have some ideas for possible modification but I'm not sure if they're feasible yet or when I'd be able to put it to the test lol!
Enough about that though lol, I'm very much enjoying acquiring nice pieces for use and collection as we;; as building new and different types of set-ups for producing decadent Nicoticket vapes!

Steep time: FOOTPB
Nic Level: 6mg
Tank/Atomizer: KFL+ V2
Mod: (mechanical, VV) Nemesis clone
Thoughts/Tasting Notes: Wakonda is perfect. I love it. A few weeks ago my longtime girlfriend and I took our bi-annual trip to Vegas where I had my first ever café au lait from Mon Ami Gabi. First sip was good, but a bit too strong for me. 1 packet of sugar later and it was probably the most perfect coffee drink I've ever had. I know it's not complicated (coffee and milk), but it really was perfect for me. Something about it, idk. Anyways, fast forward to the first puff of Wakonda and bam, I was right back there sitting on the patio on a beautiful summer morning in Vegas, watching the Bellagio fountains dance and enjoying my new favorite coffee. I taste coffee, cream, and just the perfect hint of sweetness. This is my new favorite and I hope it becomes a staple in the lineup. Great job and thank you!

Heya druno, long time no see! Glad the Wakonda popped for you m8!~

Tank/Atomizer: TOBH v2, dual coil at .3 ohms
Mod: (mechanical, VV): V3tronix Flip
Thoughts/Tasting Notes: WOW! Just WOW! This is easily up there with Radioactive in my Nicoticket must have at all times liquids. Just exactly as Clark describes: first vape is like the first sip of coffee in the morning. The more you vape it, the more it settles down. See, the one thing I have going for me when I order Nicoticket is my girlfriend isn't big on bakery style flavors. I let her try this and now we are going to have to fight over it. I can see why this was a no brainer for the final 10. This stuff is pure liquid gold. It's just so flavorful.

Thoughts/Tasting Notes: well like it says coffee and really it tastes like coffe like I like it cream and a little sugar. Coffee is a flavor a gave up on a long time ago because it all taste fake candy like. This is really natural and I'm only just starting my first tank but it maybe my favorite juice of yours along with CLS AND RADIO. Nice job guys. This should be a permanent I think unless something changes but I doubt it will.
Also there is something sweet on the exhale I almost get banana like taste very subtle.

Wakonda took almost a year to develop - and there's no fewer than a dozen different flavorings in it... it's a trainwreck of flavor. LMAO
