Mixing WTA and Regular Juice

[BluSwatch]

Kingcobra - I just got another order of Cinnamon Roll and Grandma's apple pie. I found the flavors are a little weak for me since I usually get "flavor shots" added, so I am going to try mixing a tich of non-WTA juice, and maybe a drop of DIY flavoring.
I think my black licorice juice has forever fried my taste buds .... but I do love the black licorice. LOL

Jerry - would being able to get a "flavor shot" or even "WTA shot" be a feasible option in the future?

Black licorice does sound mighty good

My Aroma WTA juices in 12 nic strength have been steeping about a week. I'm really liking Dark Honey Tob. and it's my fav so far. This could be an all day vape. Add nothing. It stands alone. 5 stars

I'm thinking I should've ordered 24 nic (and probably will do so on my next order!) [I've been generally vaping 18 nic all VG or mostly VG juices from "regular juice" vendors. High PG ratios have ill-effects on me but won't go into the details here.]

I like the "fullness" in my mouth feel of these Aroma Red Tail flavors. I thought I was going to chain vape them and they'd be gone in no time since I'm a chain smoker, um vaporer. Not so. I do put them down and some time elapses before I vape again. Very interesting. So I don't need higher nic strength? If this is "snake oil" as I read somewhere, then that's OK with me LOL
The Mint Mango Berry is odd so I added Minthol (a Goodprophets flavor I'm in love with) and that made it better. [I vape Minthol alone or add it too alot of my juices to make them better ] I've never had any brand of Mango, so I'm thinking it's not a flavor I'll ever order from anywhere again.
Miami Creme Brulee, is very much similar to the real thing but milder. The taste is almost there but I want more flavor, it's too mild! I wanted it to be in my face Creme Brulee LOL [I LOVE the creme brulee that I've tried in a restaurant called Emeril's Chop House.]

Cinnamon Roll was ok but I had to add a bit of sweetener. Afterall, when I want a cinnamon roll, it's usually sweetness that I'm going for. Maybe a little more cinnamon would help too. Still experimenting LOL.

Mahalo, well, not so much. No praise or esteem on this one. Not that we're supposed to take the names literally or are we? Not sure what to add to this to make it vapable Couldn't discern any particular fruit but then I've not tried vaping any fruits from the big Island LOL

Vanilla Splash is very nice. Lightly vanilla and not sickening sweet like some other brands can be.

P-38. Holy crap *%@#$ ! Vicks Vapor Rub came to mind from my childhood years LOL. Well, ok, my fault. it's not a Redtail but had to try it since I'm a menthol smoker. [I've been addicted to Nat Sherman Hint for years. A lightly minty tasting menthol 100% natural tobacco with no chemical additives.] Anyway, in the future, I might add one drop to 10 drops of my Minthol and try it again. It should last the longest of any others in my collections LOL. After the heart palpitations, headache and flushing subsided, I realized it was a decent menthol hit though. Must have been the PG or something that freaked me out. I seriously thought I was going to pass out. Not funny and quite frightening to say the least. phew

G.I. Joe...again, not a Redtail, so, I diluted with 18 mg nic unflavored 50/50 before vaping this time. It was good! (I sometimes vape unflavored nic juice or just plain VG juice when I'm sick of all the flavors LOL.) Before I got hooked on menthol smokes, I was a winston smoker for over 20 years, before I switched to Winston Lights for the next 10 years, thinking lights were "better" for ya
Bottom line: I'm digging seveal of Aroma's WTA juiices that I've tried. My next order will be for Virginia Blend, DK Tab,
Tobacco Road, Grandmas Apple Pie and a jug of Dark Honey Tobacco
Thanks Jerry! and Chris, et al.

Nice impressions, searching4answers!
Something Jerry said to me will have me do a little experiment on my next order. He said, almost insisted, that having a high nicotine content might counteract the effects that WTA can produce i.e. the feeling of relaxation/satisfaction. That makes some sense if you think about it, nic being a stimulant (ah, but what are the other minor alkaloids? NOT stimulants? Must do research). I like a high (24+) nic because I like the way it feels in my throat and that's what I order, without giving too much thought about its interaction with the WTA. So when it's time to replenish I'll step it down a bit and see what happens.

I add about 3 drops if I have a carto, give or take 5-6 in my 3ml, it doesn't take much for me, but I seems to go thru enough, lol. I share...which by the way another person at my job....LOVES the dktab as much as me.yes I finally have a fellow vaper at my job.

I just got my order of Cinnamon Roll and Darjim Black Clove WTA 12 mg. I love the mix, CR was a little subtle but I enjoyed it. Initially I found the DBJ a bit strong but have started to really like it. Mixing I might fiddle with mine when I get a shipment of diy supplies that are yet to arrive

 

[hittman]

I was like that with the GI Joe at first but really like it now. I got a bonus this morning. I got out a jacket for the first time in months and found half a bottle of tobacco road that I thought I had lost.

 

[~Sue~Feb2012]

I am not really sure the last time it was for sale it was 18mg. I added about 6 or 8 drops to like 24ml of juice and it works great. That awesome stress relief you get for a cig

You get unflavored WTA juice from Aroma? I didn't know they did this! Everytime I visit the site it's not available.

 

[snork]

In the past there have been a few sporadic releases of unflavored. Possibly when Jerry gets back from radio-land he'll give us some updates.

I've been and will continue to be satisfied with the pre-made WTA flavors though. When it comes to juice I'm not really a tweaker and I wouldn't know how much WTA to add to anything or wouldn't want to spend the time trying to find out.

SNORK,

You get what I'm trying to say. I don't want to go on a soapbox rant but I feel that when I use WTA I personally enjoy it more at lower dosages of Nicotine. For me it seems that WTA syngerizes real well with lower to moderate levels of nicotine. I think everyone is programmed (including myself) that we need more nic to quell the Nicotine Demon. I did the same thing in the beginning...when I wanted a drag from a analog I upped the dosage of my eliquid thinking it would do the trick. The only thing that I got when I upped the nic levels was "jittering, amped, and anxious feeling".

Give it a shot and if you don't like it just let me know.

I just got an order in yesterday which has both 24 and 12 mg G. I. Joe so I can compare them side by side. I'll let you know.
The G. I. Joe tastes fine, by the way.

One other thing for me is if I over nic then I get itchy. Usually either on a hand or arm.

 

[~Sue~Feb2012]

Snork, I can't wait to hear from you if you feel a difference in the 12mg or 24 mg !
I had been chain vaping, (kinda like I when was chain smoking) for the 6 months or so since I found ecigs thinking I can't seem to get my nic fix. Something's wrong with me? I've been staying at around 18 mg with "regular" juices but not getting satisfied. 24 or higher feels too harsh in my throat.
I've just about finished my Dark Honey Tob. G I Joe, vaping alone and adding some to other juices. As I said in another post, I don't seem to be chain vaping these flavors quite as much, but am reaching for these more than the 100+ other juices from other vendors that I've collected. I still want to try few vendors who make NETs, just to compare to Aroma's WTA's. (In any case, had I found Aroma first, I still probably would've wasted money buying the 100+ juices from elsewhere just to compare LOL.)

 

[hittman]

What are NET's?

 

[snork]

I've been trying to pin down that answer for awhile now.
NET stands for naturally extracted tobacco. What that means is open to interpretation I suppose...could be a masceration, soak, tobacco tea, whatever you might want to call it. I guess I would interpret it as a tobacco flavored eliquid that derives its flavor directly from a hunk of tobacco rather than some other source which may or may not have had a hunk of tobacco as its origin. I have a little problem with using the word "naturally" in this context because my definition of "naturally" may differ from yours or anybody else's.

While Jerry's been away I sneaked an order from another vendor for research purposes, particularly in order to experience what Mr.Mann would define as an NET. It's quite interesting and enjoyable in a gross kind of way.

[And Edit: NET has nothing to do with WTA.]

 

[hittman]

I wonder if its kinda like tobacco absolute flavoring.

 

[snork]

No, I don't think so, though not being a DIYer I'm probably blowing smoke. Vapor, rather. If I understand, maybe you could help me out, tobacco absolute is a flavoring derived from tobacco. NETs, for people who believe in such things, is you take your tobacco and stick it in a jar and vape it. Oversimplification, I know.

 

[hittman]

I tried that once. I soaked a purified snus portion with pg and put it in a cart. The flavor was good but didn't get a wta affect.

Gross meaning Yuck, ewwww, tastes like an ashtray ? Now I'm trying to figure out how something is gross but quite interesting and enjoyable.....wait........nah, nevermind. I'll report back after I try some if I get similar results.

No, no. Not at all like an ashtray. Not at all like a cigarette.
I know various vendors offer similar products but I don't know if the one I have is representative. It's good, but unlike anything I've tried before. By "gross" I mean, well, like a certain type of person would like it. It's very earthy, like you went out and cut a piece of sod and vaped it, dirt, earthworms and all.
