GT, I hear you on the "edumacated" tip, but for our purposes, the ball game is different, unless of course you go the W2V route which can be more closely aligned with that of the real tobacco world. I have yet to try the flavored Ahlusion Aromatics, Sweet Georgia Peach and Smokin' Cherries, but I would safely guess that they are very accurate. I still would say that W2V is the colsest with the actual smoking experience of aromatic tobaccos though.

I'm mainly just worried about "tastes good" anyway, but some of the topics that come up in this thread are a bit fascinating to me. :)

The term "aromatic" can be used to denote tobacco that has added flavorings to the leafs themselves like a cherry tobacco, or it can just refer to tobaccos that are blended to have a more robust room note or flavor. Non-aromatics provide less "flavor" and more earthy tastes like hay, grass, spice or woodsy notes.

Honestly, the term itself is not necessarily upheld by all tobacco lovers and manufacturers to refer to a specific type of thing. The way Ahlusion uses the term for their e-juice, is not totally in line with actual tobaccos but it adds distinction between their two lines. Here is what Ahlusion says:

"What is an aromatic blend? Generally (not necessarily in the vaping world), aromatic tobacco blends are those which give off a distinct, complex and more robust aroma and room note, like in various moist pipe blends. This is mainly due to added flavoring. When it comes to our natural aromatic blends (in our Premium line), we've captured those specific flavors and aromas derived (mainly) from our Burleys, Virginias, Perique and Latakia blends.

Non-aromatic blends can be in anything from cigarettes, to pipes; traditionally non-aromatic blends can consist of any blend of tobaccos, but they usually lack that distinct aroma and flavor; most of the focus is on the pure natural flavors of the tobaccos used. For our non-aromatic blends we use milder Cavendish blends which are a bit sweeter and balanced with complementary flavors.
If you've only smoked cigarettes, it's almost impossible to convey the experience or difference of aromatic blends.
"

So, is Vita Bella considered an aromatic e-juice? Some may say yes because it is a tobacco (extract) that has added flavor, but some may say no due to the specific leaf used: (A single, non-flavoring added domestic tobacco). Maybe someone else can give you clarity from their perspective, but it will simply be a perspective, not necessarily law.

Clear as mud!

I'll try to forget it, but the best I can promise is I won't repeat it.

Thanks! Good luck with the next ingredient. ;)

I got so wrapped up in trying to make the post make sense that I lost all tact. haha

I was wrong, only 5 of the 9 House Brew does he tell what kind of leaf it's made from.

Maybe I should check so I don't make that mistake again. I don't know how much of a secret it is necessarily, but if it isn't stated, maybe there is a reason?!

I'm kind of curious why he tells you on some and not on others.

I just typed up a decent length post because I thought you meant why does he tell me specifically! As to why he mentions it on some descriptions and not the others? Probably because those juices, where he omits the leaf info, may have an inherent mystery that stands in front of the taste. It isn't a secret, but you would have to communicate directly with him to get more -- the vast majority of people won't go that far.

Even if I knew, I wouldn't know anything, cause I don't really appreciate the differences. It's all "leaves" to me. :p

NIck just contacted me and said that the most aromatic juices are yet to be released. I don't know if it is under wraps yet, so I can't go into detail about which. As to why some are mentioned and others aren't, I think it is probably just artistic license. I bet even if those "leaves" are just leaves to you, some will be better suited for you. Probably the more mild, domestic ones as opposed to the exotic ;) ones.

More NETs from Goodejuice sound amazing!! Hopefully those get up soon, but not too soon as I've burned through my budget (and more) on HHV yesterday.

Mann, have you had Gollum yet?

Not yet, still waiting on funds to replenish from my GeJ gorge. I am actually interested to sit this one out and come late to the party. I want to see what it is like to read all the reviews and such first.

Oh, there is another vendor coming out with some more, but I can't rememeber who??? :laugh::sneaky::laugh:

Ahem, and what if I might be in the, uh, mood for a little "wangy"? :lol: (OMG I can't believe I just wrote that! :blush::nun:)

You did! You really did. And we all get that mood, come on! 'Fess up! Yes you do, you know you do (on 2nd thoughts, don't fess up or we'll all be banned.

:lol:

:nun: Perfect continence can only be achieved by (1) custody of the eyes and (2) custody of the imagination (and of course, the grace of God!) :) When such a mood tries knocking at my mind's door, I simply change the subject! :D


I am only talkin' for flavor purposes. For instance, I actually preferred 12 mg HHV juice where GeJ I would rather have 18 mg+.

Oh, you were serious! (I'm sorry, I thought you were teasing me/pulling my leg, telling me to get a super-strong tobacco at a killer nic stregnth! :oops:)

I'm kind of migrating anyway from 12mg to 18mg, so I'll definitely order VB and NP at 18mg. :)

Yep. Not a problem, and I do stongly recommend the stronger nic from GeJ -- nic sometimes adds to the flavor and sometimes not, this case it does.


Some more what?

Natural tobaccos of course. ;) I really can't wait for this vendors new one. Aye Aye Captain. ;)

Reminds me of a survey I saw when women were asked what they would rather do ...1) :evil:have umm "relations" or b) :angel: go shopping.

I really don't need to tell everyone what the overwhelming response was, do I? :angel:

Eleanor, I haven't got a clue what you just said, but it was beautiful nonetheless! I know, I had to be there. :D

Eleanor...I can tell you this, the Natural Perique is fairly mild IMO. But you had better get your mouth guard and athletic supporter out for that VB!
