I think I had this for a week and a half. It improved in that week and a half (despite MM suggesting it needed no steeping). But at the rate it improved, I might likely be six foot under by the time I like it. Though, I'm not a green banana fella either. If Ms. Eleanor would like my Vita Bella, I would be happy to send it to her if she PMs me her address. I don't know how much is there...8 - 10mL's. I want to test drive my Natural Perique a second time too. So if that one crashes, she might get two bottles. And by the time she gets them, they should be well steeped.
I have hope for you, Bronze. I shall patiently wait.
It's comforting knowing somebody does.
I could be wrong (wouldn't be the first time), but I'm guessing the GeJ tobacco NETS are all similar flavors. Definitely not the same. But I'm betting that you could put a bracket around them and simply differentiate them more on "mood" than anything else. I base that on having sampled just two of their flaves, however, I can taste and feel the familial relationship between these two smoke juices. Brutha from a different Mutha?
I'd say that's a fair assessment of GeJ. I'm not sure if it's the result of Nick's filtration process, the parent tobacco that he uses, the artist's signature, or a combination of any of those things, but I'd agree that the GeJ liquids generally share a certain character. It's hard to pinpoint, but it's there.
I think it exists to the extent that people argue over the similarities of HHV flavors (for example). I raise the possibility only because I think if you sample two flavors like I have, that I can safely say that I can extend my impressions of those two to the remaining NETS (i.e., if I did not like the two I sampled, I likely would not enjoy the others). There are always exceptiuons, but it seems this can be applied to many juice makers within a particular category of juices. And I think the reason this occurs is precisely how you outlined it.
I dunno about all that. My HHV juices that have a similar flavor also have a similar smell. I haven't gotten my NP yet, so I can't speak for that one, but I will say the aroma from the other 5 GeJ flavors I have is nothing like Vita Bella. VB has a very loud fragrance.
We're just a couple of unrefined, lunch pail blokes.
I think I speak for everyone here in saying that you're contributions, and wit
, are a welcome addition to this thread. (Both Bronze and gthompson). To me Bella is a more "challenging" than W2V in it's own way. The W2V stuff that you hear about in this thread is pretty much straight-up cigar & pipe tobacco. The big surprise when you try it is just how close they have come to the real deal...
Steeped for only a week?!! Stop acting like amateurs, fellas. Vita Bella and like juices I'm sure deserve at least 3-4 weeks of steeping.
That's what I plan on giving them, whenever I finally get around to ordering them!
W2V has a great sampler program. 10 little bottles with a max of 2 of each flavor. You can pick 5 flavors and still have one of each to start on now and one of each put away to steep.
I've looked at that sampler before and I never noticed you can get 2 of the same flavor. One reason I never got it was because 3ml isn't big enough (to me) to make a fair assessment. 6ml would indeed be much better. I might pick that up the next time I need Atty Refresher. The price is certainly not bad for a sampler.
I agree that they all share a similar "creaminess" of mouthfeel but would recommend that you try at least Wild Turkey and Patriot before bracketing them all together. You've begun with their two "strongest" flavors.
I think you'd be surprised how a little W2V goes a long way...
And that may turn out to be true that the GeJ nets are far apart. I guess I have companies like BlueMist in mind when I have six flavors and all six can be easily inserted in one, nice, neat category...perfume!
Heh. Perfume isn't so bad. Somewhere I have some madvapes juice that I can only classify as "burnt motor oil". I'll be glad to send you some of that if you're interested?
No thanks. I have 22 quarts of that in my garage. And now I know what list to put madvapes samplers on.
