I hear it's an essential steep juice, i noticed barely a change after a heat steep and I'm about 3 days in. Whether dripping or in a micro-coiled cotton dream (provides amazing flavor with other juices) I get very little flavor, though the vanilla and custard notes are there they are light. I get none of the harsh tobacco taste your referring to, though the TH is very good for 12mg. I tried thisjuice before, well steeped, in someones carto tank and the flavor was much better - it was well rounded and the puddingy creamy goodness really saturated the mouth - and that was even in a carto. So in a unit that actually provides good flavor, given this juice some steep time, I can see it being an excellent flavor.
On another note, has MLV lowered their prices? Thought they use to be in the $18-$21 range, I don't recall them being $15.99/30ml before.
