Wakonda tastes sooo bad when your wick goes bad or coil gets too gunked....it tastes like awful burnt wood. That being said, don't let your setup go bad. This juice is amazing. It is the first juice I have had to carry around the bottle in my pocket, but mainly because it has taken up residence in my Mini Protank 2 with micro coil and cotton wick for the time being. Going through about 4 tanks a day. Need to buy more RBAs and dive into the world of dripping. I love my Russian 91%, so it looks like Im headed that way, but flavor is very good with micro coils and cotton in the Protanks, so I haven't exactly been in a rush.

Clark, you went and done it... You found my ADV for me! Wakonda is the one juice I keep coming back to all day long. I still vape your other goodness, but this juice of the god's has found a permanent home in the REO!!!

Nice!!!!! So much win!!

Oh man I bet, good luck!!! The games at Foxwoods have been ridiculous since the series started and most of the pros headed there. I am on an epic tear right now, I have won 30 of my past 31 sessions, and the loss was only for exactly 1 buy in at 2/5nl($500, I always buy in for max obviously). I may be headed out to the series very shortly, even if I don't play a tourney, the cash games are sick, everyone has money, and a lot of them are tilted after just being knocked out of a tourney. A buddy of mine is up almost 60k playing 5/10nl in the past month since he went out.

Just ordered 150ml of Wakonda...

Definitely on a vape spending freeze except maybe small amount of strawnilla/frenilla until next pay period...

then ordering more Wakonda...

This CANNOT be the last Wakonda...it MUST make the final cut!!!!!

If this gets better than FOOB then my brain will explode...

I love coffee if you're wondering...but why can't coffee taste like *THIS!?*

I'll keep this one short and sweet, I bought a Reo Grand just for Wakonda! I think that says it all. :) It is at the very top of my must have list!

Your reos are GORGEOUS!! I loved the purple, but now the copper w/red is blowing me away, absolutely stunning.

I couldn't stand the wait any longer. After 1 week of sitting in my box, taunting me, I finally pulled the Radioactive from one Reo, cleaned it and put in the Wakonda. OMG! This is amazing! I am running a 5-wrap, 28 gauge, .54ohms, with KGD wick and the flavor just kicked my ....! I get a wonderful coffee flavor with the spiciness of a tobacco undertone on the draw, and pick up the sweetness and flavor of the vanilla on exhale. I just placed an order for yet more h1n1, CB, and PBJ, but I just HAVE to have more of this. I'll be hard pressed to remove the Wakonda to try the others. Already, the h1n1 is in one Reo, and that's all that's ever been in that one, and I can see the Wakonda forever in the other one. I'm definitely going to have to buy more Reos for other flavors!:vapor: This one has to become a permanent addition...PLEASE!

I've gotta be honest with this one. I drink black coffee daily, as well as vaping Frenilla all day, and I thought this would be similar to that/ compliment it nicely. Wakonda smells exactly as described, basically a delicious cup of joe with vanilla creamer. Upon vaping it, however (I've tried 2 different devices now) I can't say that I like it very much. By no means do I hate it; I can tell with some steeping the undertones will become more prominent and will certainly revisit it with a few toots every day to see how it's changing. But the coffee flavor is too in-your-face for me, and, like I said, I drink black coffee every day so I thought I would be used to the flavor. I have only tried two other coffee vapes, and as much as I LOVE Nicoticket, the coffee flavor tasted about the same to me- kind of dry like you're chewing up a coffee bean. I could see how for some people this could have huge ADV potential, but for me it is just ok for now. Gonna stick to Doodle/Frenilla with my coffee for the time being ;)

I can see how this might not be everyones cup of coffee (pun intended :laugh:) but I feel reaffirmed in my stocking up last night as I wake-n-vape with it this morning. I think for me this is just right...for some reason it feels like more of a "smoke" than other vapes, even though I don't taste tobacco in it (yet, at least). It punches me in the face with this "I am a vape--unique and all of my own" experience even though the taste is so reminiscent of coffee and sometimes vanilla. The vapor has a smooth, creamy feel, but with more throat hit than I've gotten off of other NT juices (note--this could be because I'm using it in a Protank 2 which I just got and haven't used any other liquids in?...only used iClear 16 so far). I don't seem to tire of it even when chain vaping.

My ADV for now as I continue getting over the hump with cigs. Speaking of which I think today is day 7...:)

I did not like it at first! I steeped it a day and now it is good. I did not realize you can steep them for extended periods...a month?

Welcome to the NT forum keepsmiling! I love the AVI and the handle - positive thoughts, right?

Absolutely - especially valued by people who enjoy the bakery and tobacco vapes... steeping is a journey, not a destination. Think of it like this... every Nicoticket bottle is "alive." It will live a life cycle - it is born, it has a childhood (we pre-steep it), we turn it loose (brash young adult) - feel free to kill that bottle when it hits for you without too much regret... there's always another behind it. ;)

Totally agree PW - it's pwned one of my mods too! ;)

Appreciate your candor! I'm curious to see how the bottle grows on you!

Thank you, I have a feeling that with steeping, this one will definitely grow on me (it's not like the bottle won't be finished :D). Plus, I just ordered some Grap3 Ap3 a few minutes ago (told myself I wouldn't, but I did lol), and am ordering a hefty amount of Fren/Strawnilla next week so obviously I'm still die-hard for Nicoticket :) Just thought I'd give an honest review for the Hit It or Quit It from my subjective opinion; if you like coffee I'd still highly recommend giving it a shot, for sure.

And I will certainly keep you updated on how the flavor changes for me! :D
