MANN! Get your .... back in here, right now because....because.....Because...AHA!....ELEANOR SAID SO. :)evil:)

Hold up, there's no truth in my jest! Seriously if I was upset I'd pm you. Without you the word wouldn't be out there for natural tobaccos. I'm proud of you and everyone else that has taken up this thread. I am not territorial whatsoever. I'm really just a 24yr old guy that's having fun.

Just so everyone knows, if I ever seem to make a jest at you, it's a sign of love rather than hate. I will never use a joke to tear someone down. I pm'd Mann to let him know. Hopefully he forgives me....

Reading the descriptions at GeJ (which I've done A LOT of), I'm starting to think Wild Turkey or Acadian Gold would have been a better choice for me to start with than Vita Bella. VB has some kind of "exotic" flavor that distracts from the tobacco taste for me. Is it anise? Could I be tasting licorice? I dunno, gonna try it some more tonight.

Yeah, I agree. Vita would have been a bit too much for me as a starter, but it's an eye opener isn't it... :) (just wait until you get your W2V sampler!) . I do keep some VB around but even still, and like many others, it's just an occasional vape for me. I started on GEJ with the lighter stuff: Acadian, Wrangler, Wild Turkey, and Patriot. Wild Turkey is still an every day vape for me and I'd recommend it as a great place to start with more of an "all day" type GeJ juice. Something funny to me is that after my post this morning I had to bust it to work and grabbed the Patriot to go with me, because it was not so close to empty as the others, and I've been vaping it all day and loving it. Wasn't one of my faves at first because I had had enough terrible RY4 styles that I didn't want to ever taste caramel again, and I get a backgound of caramel in Patriot, but like I say been digging it all day, an exhale of Patriot through the nose makes my sinuses go "yeah!"... Ok...TMI...

I placed an order today for Acandian, Wild Turkey, Apple Cured, and GJ4. I'm told the GJ4 might be ready to vape by Christmas. :)

I agree with you, Vick. I just got Wrangler Light yesterday (32 mg) and I could not believe how it had the best of ciagrettes without the worst of cigarettes. I can't believe I am saying that. I know you said you might not order WL again soon, but that flavor is being discontinued for (I believe) the extra ingredient no longer being available. It is good enough for me to reorder, if not just because I will not be able to anymore. Vic, have you tried OT #1? I fooled around and forgot to order AG! D'oh!.. Oh and lastly, Apple Cured is also very good. I have tried every juice in their House Brewed Line and would re-order each and every single one again.

Just got home from work and working my way up the thread. looks like another active day here. :) Thanks for the tip on Wrangler availability! Wrangler is a keeper and I'm going to go ahead and get one now. Glad I ran out of time and didn't place that order this morning. It's about time for my Wild Turkey re-order here and part of what I was trying to do was also see if I wanted to tag anything else onto this GeJ order. I'm quite fond of Organic #1 it's a regular staple for me and the other ingredient in my SuperOompa™ (about 3:1 Organic #1 to Heather's Tuscan Cocoa). I find Organic#1 and Natural Perique to be the most "tobaccoey" of the GeJs. Curious about Apple Cured but have never tried it. Haven't found an apple-bacco that really made me go "yumm" yet, though I've only tried a few. It's going on my to-do list now.

Hey everyone,

My apologies for letting outside forces impact my posting, but over the last 24 hours I have had some very troubling info floating about. I get defensive when I can't totally express myself. I am fine now as the info is settling into acceptance. (It doesn't have anything to do with me directly BTW.)

Luce, we're good.

Eleanor, you're very good to me.

GT, you're package is on it's way with a little bonus.

Man, it feels like I have been gone for almost two hours. :laugh:

BTW, I still can't get used to having an empty shirt pocket. There's been a box of Marlboros in that pocket for 40 years so I guess it's going to take some time. I mean, after 40 years, has there been anything closer to my heart?

Lately I've been keeping a 22mm carto on a 350mah auto battery from SD in my shirt pocket. Lays down real nice in the bottom and still leaves room for other stuff!...heh

Mr.Mann!!!! Wheeeee!

Uhm, I'm afraid you may not get this bottle of VB after all.

Felt like 3 hours to me. :(

Feels like you were gone for 2-3 days for the rest of us. Thanks for coming back. I missed ya.

Salt&Pepper, this marvelous thread that is so dear to me initially went 3 months without a post. After it was pulled back up, it took off. After the op started it, there was less than 10 posts, most of which came from him. If the idea is sound, it will happen -- you can't force the issue. I, for one, don't necessarily have a top 5, top 10 or anything like that. I like vaping natural tobaccos and that is about the extent of it. If I feel moved to post there I will, but as of now I don't. If you really want to know what the posters here think, just pull up a seat and chill. "Pleading" (the word you used in your thread) for us to tell you what is best is kind of a moot point -- it is always much deeper than that.

I hope you take my words as I have intended. I don't want to come off as dismissive, but your thread may go kaput -- it happens. I have started so many threads and the majority of them are in the thread grave yard.

Well said; and I hope he doesn't take that the wrong way. If one takes the time to actually read this thread I think one would "get it". Those aggregated lists have no substance at all. Top selling?... Sure...significant if you're in the industry. Top choices from a known someone who's experience and taste I respect and tend to agree with?... absolutely useful. But "top my favorite stuff from a random assortment of whomevers"... really? Nothing personal man, it's all good fun and have at it, just not my bag.

A little while ago I posted about Mom and Pop Vapor Shop's Conspiracy (its takes too darn long to type that name!) Well, I'm going to change my views a bit. Though I kept it for awhile before I reviewed it, it's changed since then. The coconut and toasted tobacco are much more balanced. Before the toasted tobacco was the main flavor with a slight sweetness that slightly resembles coconut. Also, in my review I said there was no throat hit. Now the throat hit is pretty strong. I haven't changed anything about my setup so this is all about the steeping. I just sucks that my bottle is almost empty and now it's a 8/10!

Thanks Luce! All your reviews are very handy to read. I ordered a couple of flavors from Mom & Pop - and of ALL things! - I was hook, line & sinkered with their Pchela Poison and only because they provided 3 ml samples of their top 4 juices with my order. Just goes to show that if someone prepped your vape and said "try this one then" many would be so surprised at what they actually really like. I for one think folk are missing out on a lot of grand flavors, because they're listed in the tobacco categories. How long did you backburn Conspiracy btw?
