Oohh how I envy you, Bronze. You give me hope. I'm only six months as a vaper and still like a kid in a candy store. Funny thing is.. I'm not unsatisfied with my gear, and I have a few liquids I really enjoy and never seem to tire of. (but give me five minutes, that could change) Yet, I still feel compelled to search the world over *just in case* there could be something better out there. It's a sick sick thing, I tell you. So I'm happy to know there is an end to this madness. Looking forward to getting off this crazy train someday too.

You and me both, sister. As I often say, once I found which cigarettes I liked, I was content to smoke them day after day for years with only occasional variations. I'll be glad when a reach a point in my vaping where it becomes just an enjoyable habit that I don't really have to think about.

Huh, what? Bronze is liquidating? I'm first in line for that six month-old VB! :D

Speaking of "The V", the T2 is handling it very well. I'm almost to the end of my second fill and it's still wicking and hasn't turned to black sludge. Nicey.

I only import VB. Never export!

Hope you are doing what you have to do to allow your VB stash to age at least 4 months. I can see VB agrees with you. :)

I removed my bottle of VB from my rotation. It wasn't naughty, just needs to be out of sight if I want to experience it after a LONG sleep.

It's hard!

I might have told this VB story but in case I didn't...

A long time ago MM suggested to me and GT to try VB. So we both ordered it. we letit sit a week and gave it a spin. It about blew my freaking head off! It was so damn raw and polluted my room. Gave up on that crap right quick. Put it somewhere out of sight and out of mind. GT had the same experience. A few months went by and GT tells me to give it another spin. Said it had changed to a vanilla-like vape but settled down quite considerably. He was right! It was actually pretty good. I vaped some of it and put it up for awhile. Dragged it out after the six month mark and it was even better! Glad I decided to stock up after the three month mark because I've been in 6-month VB ever since. And Dust just sent me some 5+ month VB so I'm sittin' pretty good.

Well I dripped a little bit of it (vb) a few days ago and I *thought* it was a little less like the wet bread I initially tastes and more like the custardy French toast my dear granny used to make. (just the toast, not buttery, syrupy cinnamony or anything like that) So if that trend continues.. I bet I will really like it one day. First I found the bready note a little outputting and awkward but on the second try it tasted more pleasant and intentional... If that makes any sense.

That's kinda weird. I realize I'm kinda new at this and my taste is unrefined but so far, I've found VB quite enjoyable right out of the mailbox. Maybe the manufacturing process has changed since you had your first taste.

Nah, I think the thing that changed was Bronze's perception of the juice lol.

It does change with age, but I too find it enjoyable right away.

I do not like to evaluate a smoke juice on just a dozen pulls because it remains way too early to make a definitive claim in one direction or another. So I wont. As we keep discussing, flavor deserves more than a dozen pulls (unless it absolutely makes you want to vomit). However, the physical can be opined quickly and I must say this 18mg Vita Bella is hitting more like 24 - 28mg. She leaves a large calling card.

Well, I've had enough Vita Bella for one day. I vaped about 0.4mL and that was my limit. My socks ended up on the other side of the room. Ms. Bella is going on the sidelines for awhile. That's some potent stuff. And Bella is milder than Perique? I'm reluctant to open the other bottle for fear a boxing glove will come out and smack me right in the mouth!

From 9.10.12--just over a year ago.

I don't know if it was Bronze's perception or not... that is probably just as good a reasoning as any.... still...

I've seen many people say they loved it right off and many that didn't... myself I thought it was just ok but nothing more and have since sat it back. I'll get it out when I feel like it once again and see what it's like at that time...

At this time... I've quit trying everything under the sun as well... I've been vaping Big Spirit almost exclusively with only the occasional taste of the others that I do like. I ordered about 150ml for myself and 15ml each for 3 of my friends to try out. When vaping other flavors, I hit A+ BGB probably the most ( since it looks like I need to order up on it again ), A+ Desperado is also in that mix... Sahara was just starting to change for the better the last time I vaped in ( so I need to load it up soon I guess ). I've hardly touched my HHV Serendipity or Legend.

I also really like N-E-T's Black Cav but find I reach for BGB instead when I'm in the mood for the heavier darker flavors like that. I would likely hit on N-E-T's Black Cherry before either of the HHV's since it has tobacco more in the front. Coventry is still also one I really like when a vanilla urge hits... it's also one reason I would like to see Clay do a RY4 variation. Gold just got pushed out by Big Spirit for a lighter vape... not a thing wrong with it. Chris's Blend and I never hit it off... but it didn't offend me either and I can see why others like it.

There are many I'd still like to sample ... but now I'll just do it at more sensible pace and add one every now and then to an order. I've had 3 different ones with Latakia and it's still currently banned for me... lol. At some point, I will sample all of Clay's single leaf extractions... yes even the Perique which I do like on occasion.

All in all... its starting to look like I prefer strait up tobacco's the most with a few having some additional flavorings added on occasion as long as they don't overtake the tobacco and just play a supporting role... Of course having said that is when something will come along and show me the error of my ways.... but that's just life I guess.

Bronze, I knew where your posts were as I occasionally go back and see what we were up to around a given point a year ago, but man, that was a really exciting time. Not saying that times are not exciting now, but back then, it was still all relatively new. Oh yeah, that was around the 1,000th post.
