I am noticing a lot of similarity between Gandalf #1 and Vita Bella, both in a rba, same volts. Really like them both. Gandy #3 is also fantastic to me just sweeter?

I have tried a few other tobaccos from other vendors and am noticing a similar odor/taste that is like finger nail polish remover or something "pungent". Off putting to me, but others LOVE it (including my sister). Is this from a particular tobacco extract? Some of the tobaccos were listed as NET's and others not but the sensation is similar.
All my GeJ had a burnt plastic taste no matter what device I used. After 2 months steep there wasn't a trace of that taste and Vita Bella is now in my top 5.
I get Gandalf and Serendipity with extra extract. Love em! Gandalf needs a long sleep though.

Bappo, are you getting the polish remover scent from a vendor whose labels feature a guy with a monocle and top hat? ;) I definitely got that taste from their tobaccos. RJ from the HHV thread loves their 'baccos but I gave mine away.

HAHAHA. Not these, no. Their brows are said to be very high, if you know what I mean;)

Speaking of high brows, why do my eyebrows grow now, fast, when I went almost 50 years without my higheyebrows ever growing a mm?

All I know is that it is overpowering enough to make me nauseous. It is also present in a voodooish tobacco although not as powerful.

Funny thing is that I love House Blend and Cappuccino Diablo.

Oh and Casablanca. Once I get over the first vape, which tastes remarkably like cardboard, I really kinda like it.

It's been a while since I had bwb so I don't remember it too well, but the only tobacco I thought was ok from them was the 555 exotic. The casa even steeped for a long time cause I didn't care for it but it never worked for me. I did enjoy the malty and there blueberry was my first experience with a fruit that tasted like fruit and not candy. It was quite good at the time.

Hey Scarf, my 'bacco is unvapeable as well. We seem to have similar taste, except I like Casablanca. :toast:

I love Casablanca the movie, but not the E-liquid. :p

Jerms, I do love that Orange de Sangre. It is literally like vaping Tropicana. It is in fact sometimes a little too realistic. I described it elsewhere as the difference between applying a nice orange-scented cologne, and dousing yourself with orange juice. The latter would be a bit unnervingly literal, not to mention sticky LOL. Limoncello is sensational, just like the liqueur.

I had a bunch of 10mls from the high browed vendor... hazelnut, cappuccino of the devil, both vanillas, and tiramisu. Somehow some moisture got into my storage box and all those NON WATERPROOF:-x labels faded into watercolors so I couldn't read them. They all smell similar and I can't tell them apart :(

Lest I seem to be bashing them, I will say that their English Malt Toffee is probably my favorite candy flavor.

HAHA that made me laugh. Yeah I've read the tropicana or straight up oj in reference to it a few times. That's what got me interested.

It's funny. I actually watched Casablanca last night. (It's on Amazon Prime btw) I was happily vaping it then but I can't quite get into it now. :( Power of suggestion? :confused:

I catch yer drift. They're on my next try list, but only for the Orange de Sangre so far.

Jerms,

If you've got some extra pennies jingling in your pockets, consider these also: Limoncello and Cheesecake Torte. All three are superb. Between their RY4---which is, well, strange---and mixed reviews, I've been scared away from trying their tobaccos. Bad risk/reward ratio. But Cheesecake Torte, Limoncello, and Orange de Sangre are wonderful. Way better than anything else I've ever tried in those categories.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll want to get a few when I order. Have you tried the malt or the chai? I just got a chai latte from ahlusion that's amazing.

The cheesecake is good, but the English Malt Toffee is phenomenal.... so complex. A bit sweet, a bit creamy, even has a bit of the saltiness that proper toffee has. Gives different impressions on each inhale.

The regular Malt did nothing for me but it is a favorite of many.

By the way, don't discard English Malt Toffee because you may have tried BWB's flavor with similar name. Not even close. Highbrow's is light-years better.

Jerms, if I stand too close to you, will I get sick?:p

Great good info. Plan on the orange, limon, toffee, and maybe cheesecake and malt. I actually really liked bwb malty toffee so definately gonna try the emt.

My names Jeremy and some of my family calls me jerms. Don't worry, I'm not contagious. Little kids have a hard time pronouncing my name so I let them call me germy. "Germy has germs!" "Get over here you little brat!" :p

Hello, Ladies and Jerms. (Sorry, I couldn't resist) I Googled Cheesecake Torte, cause I didn't know what Torte was, and the bespectacled fellow in the top hat came up #4 on the list. :blink: I followed the link and was both surprised and impressed that there is a page on the site that lists the ingredients for all his juices. Apparently all the tobaccos are tobacco flavors. No NETs. I did see an extracted Tea.

Really? That surprises me. I could have sworn I saw someone on this thread mentioning that they were NETs.

If they are not, and if they are flavored with TA or TE, then that would go a long way toward explaining the nail-polish remover.

I seem to remember reading that as well. Every ingredient listed is natural (almond, blueberry, vanilla, cream, ect.) but tobacco is always just "tobacco flavoring". He doesn't even claim natural on those. EDIT: He does specify that all ingredients are natural at the top of page.
