Natural Tobaccos

I defy you Bronze Vita was love at first vape for me and it has only gotten more beautiful with time.
By the way, I changed my member status in your honor

LOL...I'm honored Scarfy!!!

I couldn't even vape VB until it was 2 months old. It was heavenly at 4-1/2. Still haven't found a juice that transforms to the degree VB does.

How about my Blackhawks Scarfy? Beat up the Wings last night. They're on their way to the Cup this year.

Vita, IMO, gets better, but it was for me the same as with you, Scarf.

I know but we are like best friends now and there is no one else you'd rather send it to right?

Well Melbourne may have the best shopping and Sydney may have the best food, but Canberra has...an enormous floating whale with ten breasts.

Needless to say, that atrocity is taxpayer funded to the tune of a quarter-million dollars.

Quiet on the Vurley. That stuff is like GOLD nowadays!

If I were a betting woman I'd say so. They look pretty unstoppable. I was taping the game at home this morning while I was out shopping. The cable company had a sign-up kiosk in the shopping center and it was tuned to Fox Sports. Hawks-Wings in crisp high definition. Me and 3 Canadians hung out there until the end of the second period.

Okay, I just confessed to watching a hockey game in a mall Foxtel kiosk. Maybe Canberra IS dull.

That's not dull. I think I'd like Canberra!

Now that's a butter-face.

Same here, I thought VB was tasty right away.

Do both

I liked it fresh from the mail but it did get better over time.

The thing with VB is that some may like it better after a steep, maybe a long steep, but it isn't somehow wildly different from a fresh bottle. Sure, it may be more seamless in its flavor profile (the two flavors meld much better after awhile), but I never got something from it that was like it going from here to


























...................here.

 

[jefsview]

VB was the one I got in the small bottle, so I held off on trying it until I tasted the others... haven't gotten to it yet, since I'm enthralled by Patriot.

 

[gthompson]

Man I did.

It was very dramatic.

Yeah, I said it a couple days ago but to me a juice that's a steeper means it the flavor can somewhat alter, come together, or get stronger with time, not that it goes from bad to good for everybody. Some juices I prefer fresher, some I prefer steeped, and some I enjoy both ways. And that will be different for everyone. The fact that it changes can be agreed on but whether it's for the better is a personal opinion or preference.

For me though, I usually consider the aging to start after it's about a week old. Most freshly made juices seem to need at least a few days to rest after receiving.

I began vaping (and loving) Vita Bella from the day it arrived in my mailbox in Dec 2011. Have to admit that I never noticed it changing over time. It may have---I just didn't notice it.

Juices (even superlative ones) seem to have a half-life with me of about six months, which means that after a year or so, they tend to go back into the stash. I vaped a lot of Vita Bella in 2012, especially the first half of that year. Not so much these days.

For those who still vape NLV Bounty Hunter, you might try a 2:1 mix with Vita Bella. The end result is remarkably similar to the fabled (and discontinued) VapeTV version of Bounty Hunter. I know because I still have half a bottle of VapeTV BH. BH/VB isn't a perfect match, but it's darned close. The NET of VB substantially improves BH (which is a TINO). Uh, let me decode that for people new to the thread: The natural tobacco of Vita Bella substantially improves Bounty Hunter---which is a "tobacco in name only" juice---by adding a lovely tobacco bite to the cakey/cookie dessert flavor of Bounty Hunter.

I've got a 5ml(?) of Vita Bella in my juice cupboard (yep, a whole cupboard) steeping. I also have a 30ml of Patriot and Acadian Gold. I'm not really diggin' the Patriot, but it's only been 1.5-2 weeks. Does it change that much? I'm just not getting much flavor from it.

 

[MaxS89]

The Patriot is one of the most complex tobacco flavors I've had yet. Of course I haven't had many NETs but none the less from my journey so far I can taste every different tobacco plant with each vape. I say let it steep a bit more if its lacking flavor and give it another shot. Its a keeper for me, and currently puffing on it.

 

[jefsview]

Yes, Patriot has been the most flavorful of the GeJ samples I got.

I'll be trying out the Vita Bella later this afternoon...

Not exactly off topic, but I was surfin' the net this morning and found a delightful article on Perique. Posting it here for those interested.

I am struggling to finish my Bounty Hunter. I liked the PG version better than the all VG version of it. I have vita bella as well so i might try that out Bill, though I am loathe to stick any precious Vita Bella in with an older juice that has become secondary now but I will do it on the strength of your vouch.

By the way, I recently got a bottle of Sundance by Niteline Vapor from Scarf-ace and for a sweet vape, that stuff is delicious.

I'm on the last few drops of Patriot now (just the tank, not the bottle ), so it's time to clean out the Protank, let it dry and then try out the Vita Bella.
