Of Possible Interest

[DVap]

Hey Jerry and all!

I've been stuck in a hotel room and couldn't sleep tonight, so I went back and revisited some old posts from the formative days of WTA eliquid.

Maybe it's a bit self-indulgent, maybe interesting, maybe not... anyway, check out my latest blog if you're curious:

Whole Tobacco Alkaloids - A Bit of History

Dvap,

As usual its a honor and pleasure to see you here. I'm sure others including myself value your knowledge and would like to learn more.

Cool! I've never actually gone and dug up many old posts or blogs from that time, too time consuming. It's nice of you to distill the story to a convenient package, I hope you continue when you find time.
Maybe it would interest you that this particular guinea pig will hit two years of WTA in September and as yet no hair has grown in unwanted places. Unfortunately none has grown in wanted places either. You guys work on that, OK?

DVap, I see that the thing you singled out to comment on about your initial experience vaping it was the throat hit. That's the thing which keeps me coming back for more. I don't expect it, even want it, to make me "feel" any different like some induced euphoria with singing angels in the background. I do have the belief that it has helped me be a happier person, but the throat hit compared to an identical non-wta juice is incredibly more satisfying to me.

My experience is a fuller experience, with more sensation in the mouth, throat and chest. I don't even like to call it hit, because the difference in WTA is that it different receptors in each of those three. It seems to me that instead of just one or two receptors, I note probably seven or eight or more so it's more like buckshot then a single bullet. I'm not discussing physiological experience here, just the physical experience when vaping it.

Right! I also hesitate to call it a hit, but it seems to be a term that people understand. Rather than some raunchy painful rip, it's a fullness, the sensation that you're accomplishing something.

The long lost Unicorn has retuned! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all the work you did to bring WTA to the masses.

It's really good to hear from you Dvap. Thanks for the good reading material.

Forgive my theft of DVap's image -

When I visited Jerry's lab I saw the end result of a few days' processing. It looked just...like...that. Maybe a little bit more, and it was sitting in a little round bottomed glass flask. Dark colored extremely potent looking stuff. Jerry had me take a whiff of it, smelled extremely potent too. I wouldn't want to mess with it. I think DVap was very bold to realize his imagination, Jerry to run with that realization. Very special people, pioneers.

 

[Ceegary]

It takes special grit to head out as the first ox-wagon.

 

[Faylool]

Pioneers. Exactly!

Freaking love reading this stuff!

Love it, and all the hard work put into it too. There is an extreme difference vaping wta and non wta liquids...I can put my pv down for quite a while all the while being satisfied. Thank you, thank you!

I actually started farting around with the e cigg in 2008. I didn't start taking it serious until 2009 and hundreds of dollars later. I was ALWAYS looking for that magical vape that tasted like a Analog. Two years later I started to give up on that Idea. I had already blown a few grand on various Pv'S, Juices. I wanted that lung hit that was like my beloved Camels. I could find the throat hit. Suppliers kept upping the anti and came up with stronger juice. Many resorted to adding Menthol to the juice to gain the HIT. The last few years there has been more and more attention paid to the all around throat and chest hit. What I find with WTA at 24 mg is a satisfying vape that relaxes, has the throat , chest and I guess you could say a type of lung hit. It does really relax. I'm in for sure. I'll be a loyal customer. I'm hesitant to tell to many people yet because of the supply issues! LOL. Keep a good thing to yourself. Good job Aroma.
Thanks for the nostalgic post.
