Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

[jefsview]

Sweet. One thing I love about my V3 Sentinel is the button is about perfect for me, and I'm sure the M16 is at least just as good. Also really solid and rugged in all modes.

I've been using it all day. The floating 510 connection is very VERY stiff and you have to use some force to push it back into place; I hear that it loosens up over time/use. Those Efest 30 amp 2600 mAh batteries are huge for 18650, so the top and bottom telescoping caps barely screw on and threads do show. The locking ring is easy to open close... a little too easy and just using it has a tendency to close it. The button itself spins a bit and from use and unlocking/locking it, I have to re-adjust it so it fires.

The only mech I've used is the k100, so I am used to the knurling on the locking ring and the non-adjustable button. Just from handling the mod during use, I seem to be spinning the button more than the locking ring, which causes mis-fires. But it's only my first day with it, and there is always an adjustment phase with new things.

** just took out my AW IMR 18650 and placed it next to the EFEST 18650. Same size.

I built the 2 KFL+ clones before work today, and that OHM meter came in handy and reads better than the MVP2, which has been a bit wonky with the resistance readings.

Also, I spent the day with the 18mg nic Bounty Hunter in the KFL+ clone and was fine.

Has anybody tried the My Vape Juice Gurkha or STP Garo Double Habbano? I'm staring at my cart and trying to decide on pulling the trigger.

Okay, so I've been depleting this bottle of CWW quickly, and it took a couple of days for me to realize that Wlad came through with my profile (though the label stayed the same). I had a detailed phone conversation with Wlad about getting a Caramel Wild Wood "cream" of sorts -- he said he could, but he would have to tweak the overall recipe and not just "add" cream. The first couple days this bottle tasted like straight CWW, but on about the third day it suddenly lost the "normal" CWW flavor and it stayed sort of lost until a couple days later -- that's when these new notes came through.

Man, it's so smooth.

Satin!

It's really not like my previous bottle all that much, though it's still clearly CWW, just not as bold of a caramel and the edges of the tobacco have been rounded as well. This liquid has a cream finish that borders on a vanilla, thus making this (to me) almost RY4 related, but it doesn't have any added sweetness of additional vanilla, just the cream element of a vanilla-like ingredient. I may just grab an XPress bottle to do a head-to-head match-up.

It's so weird, I thought buying a 10 mL bottle made sense! I guess this is a 30 mL kinda liquid.

I'm so glad you got CWW tweaked to your preferences.

I love CWW and Vanilla Wild Wood so much that I am actually giving them up for Lent!

I believe that is the seen in the Director's Cut right after Dennis Hopper passes Kurtz a banana peel to smoke

Naw, man, it was a coconut rind . . .

I believe it was Dr. Indiana Jones who said, "coconuts...why did it have to be COCONUTS?"

A day without ECF is like a day without, uh... ECF.

Vanilla is really good and so is the Cherry WW
the desperado I had was like Smooth Criminal without the frills
It was good but don't think its worth reordering when I have SC

I think Desperado tastes much like the tobacco in JG Blend. I don't get a similarity to Smooth Criminal.

We agree Desperado is superfluous though. Smooth C and JG make up about 80% of my vaping.

So today I dragged out my 5 weeks old vita Bella. I distinctively remember them being of a very light and pale color. Look at it now!

It's a rich shade of Amber, and smells delicious. Heh!

I think Desperado tastes like something I'd rather trade than vape, though I do love JG and SC (I also don't think it tastes anything like SC).

Desperado isn't bad to me, just boring, especially considering it's an Ahl juice.

I like the reddish color Vita takes on as it ages.

I agree; there's just not much going on there.

Very early first impressions of Heavenly Army by HHV. Why grab for HA first when I have Gaia to try? Because it smells good.

The website describes HA as having a similar profile as Shadow, which I was surprised by. I only had a 3ml sample of "Shadowfax" a long time ago and found it almost flavorless, while I find HA extremely flavorful. That Shadow was just a small amount and was tried before I got into rebuildables which amplify flavor, so it may be worth it for me to try Shadow again.

I'm not sure how HA is going to play out for me. Right now it smells better than it tastes. It's very creamy, which is good, but not really sure what I'm tasting. It has a similar mystery bakery type feel as Boba's Bounty, but doesn't make me go to honey graham cracker as much as Boba's. I do like it at the moment, though not as much as I suspected I would, but unlike Dragon's Fire I find it appealing. It's a unique flavor for sure.

For me it seems more flavoring is used than need be. I can see either really liking it a lot on occasion or getting sick of it fairly quickly.. it's a mystery, just like the flavor.

Hehee Jerm I have a 30ml of heavenly army, and it was god awful to me; kinda like a plastic liquid. I've been desperate to find someone to take a vape from my bottle to see if I just happen to have a bad batch. Any chance you would be willing to be that person?

Lol, I can see it just not working for some people. Jef is the resident HA expert, maybe he'll take a vape from your bottle.

I ordered some STP Five Vegas Cask Strength and Garo Double Habano frovj. The site says they have been steeping since 10-15-2013. They should be ready to roll straight from the mail. I am psyched.

Has anyone besides the OP had much experience with these? His reviews are why I picked those two. If they work out the Gurkha is next.

I found both Shadow and Heavenly Army similar, but different. I was tasting chocolate in Heavenly Army versus a cream, not quite vanilla, but definitely not chocolate, to me either, in Shadow. Between the two, I prefer Shadow.
