You just summed up my Vita Bella experience in a nutshell.
I just wanna chime in to say that I have reaped my first benefits of long-term steeping. Most juices I've had so far have been gone within a week or two. To be honest, they were all so good that I really felt no need to let them steep more than a few days.
Vita Bella was a juice that, although I liked it, I couldn't seem to vape it every day. The half-empty 6ml bottle sat untouched in my closet for two weeks straight. It could've been because I was so immersed in my Ahlusion NET's, which I had received a few days later... Or not. Doesn't matter. What matters is that my Vita Bella got to steep for 3 weeks. It went from a really good juice, to an abso-freakin-lutely amazing juice! Oh my good lord! It's amazing how a juice can change like that. I am now a believer.
I'm pretty sure now that this little special something is indeed vanilla. In the first week, I really had to hunt for it, and I wasn't even quite sure that's what it was. Now it's right up front and pretty obvious. This flavoring is completely different than the round and robust natural extract used in Ahlusion's Vecchio Blend. In Vita Bella, it seems to be more a candy-like, not-necessarily-artificial-but-possibly-processed vanilla. It has a wonderful sweetness to it, but it's not overboard. And there seems to be a sort of wheaty-ness that has surfaced as well. Something about it reminds me of a popular sugary cereal I used to eat as a kid, but I can't quite pinpoint it yet. I really love how this juice has blossomed. I have another 30ml on the way that I'll be saving until Christmas. I'm about to destroy these last few ml's today!
I will miss you Vita darling.![]()
Hooked up with some Wrangler, Fire Cured, Wild Turkey and Patriot today... And the sneak peek, pre-steeping hibernation, is getting a huge thumbs up. All I can say is this actually taste like tobacco, hehe... No fillers, flavorings or added extras, just pure and simple... Love it
Can't wait for the BGB and DD to show their faces, bet those guys will make me even happier?
P.S. Even the little flavor added to the Wrangler is so, so subtle that it doesn't even come close to overwhelming the tobacco flavor at all... Good stuff.
Again, I didn't mean any hurt feelings by my earlier post. Was just being honest. And yes, I'm still a rookie to all of this who IS still trying to learn. So much so that Mamaw is starting to make a few comments......
Well it's true![]()
Okay, I am going to go out on a limb and do some investigative work: How many PVs do you use? Drip tips?
I meant Bella Valente. 2 PV's, numerous. Why does that matter? (nm I see, I wash my tips and atomizers regularly)
Makes more sense to me now, I wondered why everyone was raving about Bella Valente after I tried it.

And we have Ahlusion in the house! Lots of tobaccos and a few teas and fruits.
I'm really enjoying this thread. I have found that I mostly like tobacco Vapes. Si this thread is right up my ally. I went back to the beginning and started reading. Think I just might read the whole thing. My wallet is gonna hate me:0

another performance review:
my typical hardware, standard Boge 3 ohm, 3.5 ml pyrex tank, Buzz Pro, Lavatube, e-pipe with a booster
re: GeJ Vita Bella 18 mg - I can run 12-15 ml thru the Boge before it starts to clog - unfortunately, I didn't steep for more than 2 weeks, but my last bit of it I did get the vanilla - Vita Bella, I liked and might buy again, but it is mild to my taste, imho, so an easy all day vape for me - getting 12-15 ml per carto is 2-3 days vaping for me
re: QnC Grandpa's Nightcap 18 mg - vaped thru my typical hardware, mentioned above - I could only vape about 3 ml of Grandpa's before the Boge started to clog - shame really, as the taste reminded me of w2v juices, and I've tried ALL their nets - not similar to any one particular w2v net, but I got a solid throat hit and nice tobacco after-taste from Grandpa's - if only the juice didn't clog so quickly, I'd likely buy again
I've got Devil Dog and Blue Grass Burley about ready to test, I hope they are as clean as HHV, which are the cleanest I've found, so far
I don't drip, so I hope this helps someone who also uses carts/tanks
I'm curious about HoL nets, could someone please address their peformance/cleanliness ?? - thanks
Puros and cigarillos work like silk for me, very clean and I'm only using clearos and an eGo Twist if that's of help.
So ... how's that DD?!

LOL - well let's hope your wallet will love you instead as you head immediately to best stuff vs buying a lot of so-so/bleh/unvapeable and tossing that good money straight down the drain.![]()
