New Red Tail Tobacco Flavors

[olderthandirt]

Problem is do you know if he vapes?

Why no, I don't know if he vapes. Thanks Hitt, now I get to worry all over again!

I really like bright leaf...I'm on the fence with prairie. Prairie seems grassy to me.

Grassy is one adjective used to describe how many Virginia pipe tobaccos taste. In that case it's a good thing.
When you say grassy in regards the Prairie..... positive or negative?

 

[hittman]

Not to be negative but the prairie reminds me of a sensitive teeth mouthwash I used before. Not sure if it's clove or what but it doesn't agree with me. I wonder if robin would like it since she likes clove.

 

[hittman]

I forgot to mention that I ordered both without wta just so I could sample the flavors. Maybe I should add some wta to the prairie to see if it's much different.

 

[olderthandirt]

I ordered all the flavors w/o WTA for the same reason Hitt.

 

[hittman]

I can see where the prairie seems grassy to jerry. I just have another taste stuck in my head from a past experience.

 

[hittman]

So did you get vapemail?

 

[olderthandirt]

Yes I got vapemail and my tongue is thoroughly confused now!

I lined up 4 new 510 attys.
Primed all of em' with unflavored, set my iTaste VV to 8watts and proceeded to deluge me taster.

Initial seat o' me britches impressions....

Prairie - Ginger or mebbe clove as Hitt made mention of. Overall mild in flavor, sweet smell, faint TH and hella vapor.
Bright Leaf - Almost a carmel but not quite. Very little smell, faint TH, hella vapor.
Snickerdoodle - Very reminiscent of snickerdoodle cookie dough. Could almost pick out a spice like note, allspice, ginger, cinnamon or some such. Sweet smell, no TH, good vapor.

Surprise Tester....

Warm Leaf - Prairie on steroids. Ginger or Eucalyptus is what I get from it and very strong at that. Sweet smell, notable TH and good vapor.

The snickerdoodle intrigues me so that it's going into a tank tonight.
The 3 "tobacco" liquids will get more individual attention over the next few days. Hitting all of em' at once as I did isn't the way to go a sampling but I couldn't help meself (-:

 

[hittman]

Thanks for sharing. Did you happen to take a sniff of the prairie before vaping it?

 

[Robinowitz]

Hmmmm.....know you've got my attention Clove, ginger? Perhaps I'll HAVE to try some.

 

[olderthandirt]

Yup, Prairie smelled sweet, but did not taste sweet.

Robinowitz, I often question the validity of my taster.
That I'm getting spice from these and nothing resembling tobacco gives me pause. Did I somehow foul up may tastebuds last night?

I'm hitting the Warm Leaf just now in a freshly wicked RDA. The vape still puts me in mind of ginger or eucalyptus but it's no where near as pronounced as last night.

Anyone else get similar reactions to these?

 

[hittman]

You're the only one here that has the warm leaf. Yes, that's jealousy rearing it's head.

To me the bright leaf tastes like caramel and real tobacco mixed but has a bit of a bitterness or something on the exhale. I've already said that the prairie tastes like clove or as Jerry said, " a grassy taste". The prairie is a hard one to explain for me.

 

[olderthandirt]

We're in reasonably close agreement on the Bright Leaf and Prairie Hitt. Exception being I get no taste of tobacco from either.

 

[hittman]

That's funny because bright leaf reminds me of the flavor of tobacco absolute. I've been using it in DIY mixes.

 

[olderthandirt]

Not used any absolute so can't make that comparison Hitt.
When I look for tobacco flavor, taste, smell in an e-liquid impressions left me from snus and snuff are my benchmarks.

 

[hittman]

I'll have to send you some samples.

 

[Robinowitz]

Yup, Prairie smelled sweet, but did not taste sweet.

Thanks OTD. I completely understand wacked out taste buds, especially when it comes to e-liquid. With food, I tend to be able to enjoy tastes ranging from subtle to very spicy. When it comes to e-liquid, it seems I need very strong or spicy to scratch "that itch." WTA has helped me immeasurably with scratching the "physical itch," but I tend to need a blast for my other (psychological?) itch. Hope this makes sense. I feel downright guilty adding menthol or spearmint flavoring to a beautiful and thoughtfully mixed WTA flavor by Aroma, but that's what it takes (with the exception of Black Darjim Clove WTA at .9/1. in my Reo. No additions necessary to slay the beast).

 

[olderthandirt]

I've been revisiting the Bright Leaf the past couple of hours.

Carmel or p'raps butterscotch.... that's the ticket, butterscotch. And I like this one!!

The crash sampling I attempted last night was certainly the wrong way to go about sampling multiple flavors (-;

Bright Leaf today is coming across as kind of mid-way between Dark Honey Tobacco and Tobacco Road in the type and intensity of sweetness in the vape.

Still get no tobacco from this but that doesn't detract from the vape at all for me.
I'm going to stay with Bright Leaf the remainder of today but just now it looks like this one will be a keeper!

 

[hittman]

Are you getting a bite or bitterness out of it at all?

 

[olderthandirt]

Not at all Hitt.... hang on gonna give it another shot ..... nope. No bitterness for me. Just butterscotch!

 

[hittman]

I've tried it in two different clearos and get the same thing. I'll try dripping next.
