Darn good point.

Any other must tries from Goodejuice?

That all depends on your tastes really. I love Patriot, Natural Perique, Acadian Gold, Organic tobacco #1, Wild Turkey and of course Vita Bella. My hesitation with recommending many of those, except for Natural Perique and or Wild Turkey, is due to the earthiness of the tobaccos. These are not "tobacco" juices, but tobacco juices--if you catch my drift?! Once again, I would say definitely try Vita Bella and get a sample of Natural Perique to start. If you dig Natural Perique, then go for Wild Turkey, then Acadian gold and finally Organic Tobacco #1. Patriot sort of stands out from those with its own character which is of the aromatic pipe section of juices. It has a touch of sweetness and a fair amount of spice that works in tandem quite beautifully.

So my suggestions would be:

1. VB
2. NP
3. WT
4. AG
5. OT#1

That list is how I would suggest approaching it from the more easy going flavors to the more top heavy tobacco tastes.
(Patriot can be sampled whenever you want to try)

Vendor: GoodeJuice
Liquid: Vita Bella
Vendor Description: Vita Bella is a Tobacco flavored treat that will whisk you away to another place. Made from Natural Tobacco, it's unique taste is slightly sweet with a full, rich Tobacco flavor that is exclusive to Goodejuice. If you only had to pick one flavor for the rest of your life, consider Vita Bella. It was designed to be so. This flavor is only available in a 50/50 PG/VG mix due to the extraction process. Also, only available in 6mg nicotine or higher.
Thoughts: Ever since the first time I tried this juice I have been enthralled with it. It is probably the most unique and hard to peg juice of GeJ's House Brewed Line. Those that are tobacco fans, but want a little more variety than the standard faire, would be well advised to add this to their stash.

Review: This is one of those juices where the flavor profile is a very evasive and mysterious--in the vendor description as well as in the actual taste. Yes, this is an extracted tobacco, but what particular leaves and region is unknown. The actual tobacco, whatever it is, is used more as a base to escort the additional flavorings. The base itself is rather mild and does not have much of forward presence; however, it's ability to mingle with the other flavors and exchange profiles is what makes this juice so wondrous. FYI, the tobacco is definitely there if you know what you are looking for, but it isn't going to jump out at you.

Most extracted tobaccos will have some type of vegetal quality, woodiness, earthiness, bite and or spice. Vita Bella only has a subtle earthiness and spice that is coming from the tobacco--the spice is more of a lingering note upon exhale and afterwards, whereas the earthiness is present throughout. The predominant flavors are slightly sweet, velvety and as elusive as any of the hard to describe juices that I have ever had. The sweetness is not remotely close to cloying, but it does present itself as in the sweet(er) juice category of extracted tobaccos. I want to say possibly vanilla, but only in the very broadest of senses--it has a creaminess relative to vanilla more than the taste itself. I am not saying this is a vanilla tobacco per se, but that is about as close to a comparison as I can give--even that is a stretch. That particular flavor that I am trying desperately to pinpoint possibly has a touch of almond milk-like flair with a subtle hint of a red delicious apple skin. (I am really reaching! LOL) Oh yeah, that reminds me, the color of the juice is very much like alizarin crimson, or like that of a transparent red delicious apple, but please don't expect to taste apple here.

My gawd, this juice is smooth beyond smooth. It is not a bold in-your-face juice at all, but is has such a coy character that to vape it is to chase it. I have an 18mg bottle that doesn't offer much in the way of hit, but while I vape it, TH is the furthest thing from my mind. So if you are a tobacco fan and would like to add some mystery to your line-up, give Vita Bella a shot. This is a staple in my stash!

p.s. Approximately two weeks aged juice for the review.

Wow, busy day on the awesomest thread on ECF!

Great review, Mann! I agree wholeheartedly. Vita Bella is a wonderful juice, and I just happen to be vaping it as we speak! It is a stand-out juice in an exceptional line. I have yet to be disappointed by GoodeJuice. Say, Mann, I don't get this with every puff, but do you ever get the slightest hint of hickory in Vita Bella? Silky smooth and deceptively complex is how I would classify this juice.

Alizarin crimson... you are a painter!

 

[gthompson]

*sigh*

So I ordered a bottle of Vita Bella. Dang you Mr.Mann. Somehow I managed to ONLY order Vita Bella, so I guess i did pretty good for once.

And I still have 2 or 3 left at HHV I want to try. Plus I want to try 2 or 3 from NLV (congress willing). And that's just the top of my list. Will the madness never end?

Hickory? About as much as I taste red delicious apple skin. LOL. But seriously, I think that could be that apple skin I was talking about mixed with the spice from the tobacco? Dunno, but I do totally get what you are getting. The only thing I enjoyed about writing that review was that I vaped myself silly with VB! I had some NC-17 thoughts about this juice, but it was too early to try and sublimate.

p.s. To anyone reading our musings, you must know that we are practically diving head first into this bottle to try and figure it out. Try it for yourself and see what you come up with. If you say it tastes like Boba's, you will not be welcome back to this thread.

 

[gthompson]

What if it tastes like chicken?

 

[Mr.Mann]

What if it tastes like chicken?

You'd have to send it to me to prove it.

 

[gthompson]

6 mL is $4.99 and a 12 mL is $6.99. Nick will also throw in a 6 mL sample of another juice if you ask.

I forgot to ask for a free sample.

Oh well, I have too much juice anyway.

Bump that, call or email Nick, NOW!

It tastes like chicken.

EDIT: Oops, GT beat me to the punch. GT and I think the same way too often for my comfort.

 

[EleanorR]

Well Eleanor beat myass for being critical of this thread so I thought I better get back here before I'm taken completely apart.

Qui, moi? Glad to see you came back in -- the water really is fine!

That Vita Bella sounds scrumptious -- but I refuse to try any more vendors (just yet ).

As for the "Who else does NETs?" query, Prime Vaping an was early pioneer in that field. I tried several of their most commented-upon juices, including one NET, and I regret to say I personally was, er, underwhelmed.

The NET I tried was Kong's Vape: a banana tobacco (duh). At first, I thought I liked it so much that I ordered 3 more bottles of it (!). Soon after I opened the first of those 3, I decided I really didn't care that much for it at all. It was also a real carto-gunker. (In fairness, this was in late 2011, so Prime Vaping may have improved upon that issue by now.)

Anybody want some 12mg, 70/30 Kong's Vape, extremely well steeped?

Yeah, I don't know. Like every 5th puff or so, I get something really subtle, but smokey and delicious. Definitely not chicken, though!

This is a really tough juice to define, and kudos to you for taking a stab at it. There's an adjective that I've been searching for for months now to describe a certain quality that this shares with the HHV juices that I've tried. Maybe "milky" or "creamy," but that doesn't quite cut it. HHV has the same quality, but in HHV it often carries a grassy or hay-like undertone. I probably sound like I'm losing my mind, but that's because I can mentally picture it but am unable to adequately describe it. There was an RY4 by Viking Vapors (not an NET) that I got a couple of years ago that also shares this quality, but I haven't come across it in any other juice but these. Whatever it is, it gives the flavor volume. In terms of flavor (getting a little abstract here -- not talking about color of liquid), I see Vita Bella and some of the HHV tobaccos as opaque, whereas most others are clear.

Man, I understand, I understand! I looked up synonyms for creamy (while doing the review) and nothing stood out. Maybe "satin," or "silken?" I kind of like "silken." I first thought of "satin" when you said "silky."

 

[EleanorR]

"Volume." Bingo! That's one of the (rare-ish) qualities I love about HHV's juices! Thanks, Tez!

 

[gthompson]

6 months ago I had 2 juices that I vaped with any regularity. I hate you guys.

I love you guys!!! I've been struggling with terminology ever since I got my first HHV sample, and suddenly I don't feel so crazy. Or at least I'm comforted by the possibility that they will give us adjoining padded cells!

'Satin' or 'silken' works for me! It's a nice voluminous quality that almost seems to bridge the gap between flavor and vapor production.

 

[Victor Vandyke]

Clean as as the cleanest.

Agreed. Every GeJ I've had has been as clean as can be on the heating coils. HHV as well.

Any other must tries from Goodejuice?

I'm quite fond of the Natural Perique, Wild Turkey, Organic #1, and Wrangler Light (my go-to cigarette). Vita Bella, Patriot and Acadian Gold are all great juices in their own right as well, just not as much to my personal taste as the first three mentioned.
