Gee MFToms,

Do you keep your mod on the nightstand with a long hookah tube clipped to your pillow or just plan on living forever because that is how long it would take me to use up something as large as your stash.

I did order some Vita Bella only because I was tired of read the 5 gazillion references to it in this thread and having absolutely no idea what you guys were talking about. (come in from the cold). But if you think I am going to steep it for 5 months well... no way that's going to happen. I don't need ambrosia just something that taste like Tabaco not chemicals. I also was informed that the nets do more than satisfy the need for nicotine. The claim is it produces a sensation of relaxation in addition to the benefits of nicotine.

you learn by doing. Give yourself another month, and things like perspective change... for the better.

I thought the last 100ml of Heavenly Army would last until I could re-order... nope. Nearly gone now. It might seem like a lot of juice, but it goes quickly sometimes. You have no idea how maddening it can be when you find a juice flavor you enjoy and have to stretch out the last drops...

I've been stretching out my tiny 12ml bottle of Vita Bella for 4 months... it's nicely steeped, but I just want to vape it! Unfortunately. I have to make it last a bit longer. It never lasts as long as you would hope :)

Of course not... I modded my USAF issued Oxygen Mask, removing the air hose and modded the mask's fitting for my drip-tip. :vapor: ;)

I get the impression that most of the guys in this thread are experienced connoisseurs but if the opinion of a relatively new (3 months) vaper matters, Vita Bella is very good right out of the mailbox. If it gets even better with age, so be it, but I think most tobacco lovers would find it enjoyable even when fresh.

jefsview,

To be or not Ta be... Thanks for the catch, but at my age the spelling is not always what my minds says but what my fingers do. Now one would think they should be the same but not always.

As far as perspective, I sure hope you are right. But you and others on this thread talk and act like wine CONNOISSEUR. My idea of a fine wine is Ripple or Mad Dog. Also I have always considered a good ageing time for wines to be the time it takes to get from the 7-11 back to the car. :)

Seriously, I know you guys are correct in your methods and appreciation of a good e-juice but for me as a beginner I am just so anxious to get to something good the thought of a five month steep is just beyond my comprehension and or patience - but I will try to curb my need for instant gratification (not an easy trick for me).

Vapo Marx, (love your handle by the way and it has nothing to do with you helping me to get of the hook with the NET crowd)

Actually just last night I ordered a bottle of Vita Bella only to find an email this morning saying that it has shipped. Now that you have suggested it can be a good e-juice with little or no steeping has made my day.

MFToms,

The funny part of your innovation (vaping improvements) is I believe you!!!

I guess it would be like sleeping with a cpap mask but rather than keeping your oxygen level up it keeps your nicotine level up. Something like that might even be patentable.

One thing I have noticed about Vapors is they are one of the more creative groups I have stumbled on. ;)

Do you have a local vape store? If three days is hard for you to deal with, you're going to be REALLY frustrated with online juice vendors. You're probably going to want to avoid Ahlusion if ordering in the morning and the 5 day wait is a problem; plus, other than their aromatics, they tend to need a long steep. GoodeJuice ships very quick, but tend to be long steepers too. HHV's time to ship can be long at times, not sure how it's been lately, and they can be long steepers too. MountainOakVapors makes in big batches, so often don't need to steep and ship fairly quick, but it will still be a few to receive.

Goodejuice ships within 18 minutes of your order placement. And I find Patriot is good after a week or two of steeping. HHV is shipping in 2 - 3 business days and most of their nets are good 1 - 2 weeks out.

Just so you know....Vita Bella changes dramatically with time. It is nowhere near the same juice out of the mailbox as it is even 2 months out and it is even far different 4 - 5 months out. That's when I dig it. :)

Bronze,

Thanks for the tips.

If I had not seen the shipping invoice from "Goodejuice" this morning I would have had trouble believing they ship in 18 minutes. They must have one of those "Vacuum Tube" connections to the mail store. ;)

Yes, if you order during business hours, they will have your order shipped in 18 minutes. One time they were dragging their feet and it took them 20 minutes. :)

To tell you the truth, most of us here don't have a clue :)

We're here to learn from each other, to try new things, and to discover the richness and variety of NETs. The more experienced members know more about tobacco just because they've been in this thread longer. I came from smoking cheap, near generic cigarettes. I can't tell a Virginia from a Burley. I know what I taste, but that's been changing over time with more restored senses.

We like to educate ourselves in this "hobby," this "lifestyle" of vaping. The most important thing is just to discover something new to you that you might like and share your thoughts with others. Four months ago, I was all about the analog experience. Now I want to vape something with lots of flavor, some sweetness and something that keeps my senses sharp. The members of this thread were here then, gave suggestions and I try to give back to them what I can and have a good time along the way.

So relax, enjoy and have fun. There is something for everyone here.

And for the record, my favorite is Dragon's Fire from HHV. In my vape world, there is Dragon's Fire and then everything else. It can be satisfactorily steeped in one week. But even DF improves beyond that. This is true with most of the HHV NETs. Though Shadow and Heavenly Army take a bit longer IMO.
