Well, I've been vaping on this Vita Bella for more than an hour now. This is my second trial. First one was a week ago (or more) when it was fresh out of the mailbox. I have to say, it has improved. The edges have been sanded down some. But considering where it came from, it had a long way to go and it is still on the harsh side IMHO. That "exotic" flavor toned down some too. Definitely an improvement. However, not enough for me to reorder it. This falls in that category of, "I don't care for it, but I can see how others would". It is not a bad vape by an stretch, just not quite there for me. I normally vape around 5.7 watts. I had this one down to 5.0 watts and it was still coming off hot to me. I'm also an 18mg vaper and this 18mg seems high. Perhaps I'm confusing it with the inherent harshness but I just wonder if this would be better in a lower nic version. Oh well, I can vape the bottle I have at my leisure so it wont go to waste. It was a reasonable recommend by MM so I appreciate it. I also have a second trial of Natural Perique coming up. I found my first trial of NP to be slightly better than my first trial of VB. But then it was steeped for a week too. So we'll see.
