not a dream mr mann you could do that vapelicious sells a diy wta nic base that has the nic and wta that is meant for you to add your own flavoring
you could if so inclined add this base to the hov extraction kit instead of just pg/vg for 5 to 10 days and walla net and wta
Can't you purchase the WTA and add it to the NET? Not really sure about dilution levels though. Just wondering.
Yes you can. The problem would then be my overhead. I am not a DIY guy and the HOL purchase was because it was a limited and quite novel. I really would rather not buy a minimum of a dollar a mL at a base line of $36 dollars for the level that I want the WTA to be. The testing and different applications would end up being too costly as opposed to just having the professionals do it for me (the HOL price in addition to the WTA DIY price). Of course it would be cheaper in the long run, but I am on and artists budget, which is always short run.

Maybe if I start purchasing my own tobacco leaves, which I am looking into, then it may be feasible, but still not very practical.
So the other vendors you mentioned above is better as far as more real taste goes. I didn't realize the differences between vendors. Oh well, will try them when possible. I'd agree that what has been rather weak in my 555 juices has definitely been tobacco flavor. OK, live and learn. Thanks.
Well, I don't know if I would say the other vendors are better for real taste necessarily, because everyone perceives taste differently. But, I many people that love HHV and those kind of extracts tend to not like the heavier, put-your-face-in-it style and vice versa. Without sampling the lot, it can only be a guess as to which you'd prefer.
I haven't tried WTA (except for a few puffs the other day) for fear getting hooked on something again that I've already managed to kick once, so I can't really give you a direct comparison. I haven't really noticed any additional (chemically-based) calming effect from NET's versus other non-extracts that I vape on occasion. It might be there, but if it is, it's so subtle that I haven't noticed it. I am calmed by the satisfaction of getting a quality-made product that I enjoy though, for what it's worth. For the most part I personally treat these juices like their flammable counterparts and unwind with a nice cigar or pipe juice, and more cigarette-y or non-extracted juices are more for utilitarian consumption, but I think that's mostly psychological.
Yes I read the article, it set me to wondering about the possible problems with WTA. It seems to me that the taste issue you mention is more important to me. Really don't need to get stoned. Was there, did that. Poppy stuff many moons ago. No thanks on getting blasted.
As far as WTA being something beyond the pale and addictive? It's really not, the nicotine is what is addictive here (the alkaloids may be more psychologically addictive, maybe). In the end, it really is only for some people; for the rest, it is just an added and unnecessary expense. Remember, not all illict products are downers, a lot fall into the same category as nicotine, a stimulant. There really is no escaping connections here. Trust me, I want to stay away from rebellious stimulants nowadays, but similar side-effects have been reported with coffee and nicotine as with some of the darker side of stims.
