Question for Betelguese Lovers

[Sloth Tonight]

Does Betelguese truly get better and better over time? I have had mine for 3 days and each time I vape on it I like it a lot better than before. Not sure if it's just growing on me or actually morphing into a better tasting liquid, but it's growing on me FAST - the website says it turns into "fruit pluid" after 14 days. Thoughts??

I may wind up stocking up on this too...unbelievable taste.

Yes it does, believe it or not. All NT juices are good FOOB but do change and get better the longer they steep. Keep trying it though as you will have to discover when the steep is perfect for your tastes...

Man, that's unreal...then I'll probably stock up because it's one of the best and most complex tastes I've ever experienced

ALL of NT's juice is complex. Even if he just sold Strawberry Symphony he has a blend of fruits in there to keep it from tasting flat. The man really is a juice wizard!

 

[Sloth Tonight]

Yes it's fascinating to a recent convert from smoking. Tell me what cigarette company offers such complex tastes, let alone anything that doesn't taste terrible? Even pipe tobacco--which I find very pleasant and often complex in flavor--pales in comparison. Vaping is another world, a much better, cleaner, healthier and more fascinating one. Betelguese...just ordered more.

The wonderful thing to think is, buying too much juice isn't really possible. I may spend a lot upfront on wonderful juice but it won't go bad before I use it and only gets better with time?? Unbelievable

 

[Mark Howard]

In my experience, the longer BG steeps, the "redder" the fruit taste gets, if that makes any sense.

 

[Megan Kogijiki Ratchford]

Exactly! It's not like cigs where if you stock up the last carton is barely smokable they get so stale. The juices, if kept well (in the dark and cool) will keep for quite a while and will continue to evolve. I have juice from August last year that is still yummy. I just use them infrequently as they may never come back and I enjoy them so they become special treats.

 

[Sloth Tonight]

Yeah! That's my plan - if I like a flavor, stock up when possible and switch out often through the coming weeks and months. And instead of worrying about if guests (I work at an ADK lodging resort) smell smoke on my clothes when they come into the office, instead I simply wonder if they notice the possibly-though-unlikely-lingering scent of fruity vapor in the air

 

[Sloth Tonight]

But I mean this is THE most interesting vape I've had so far. It's true - every hit tastes different, even if only slightly enough to raise a curious eyebrow.

If you're hoarding... careful with the nic levels. If you're like most ex-smokers, you will likely find yourself lowering your nic level over the first 3 months or so. So... if you want to steep for a long time, order one nic level down.

I started at 18 / 12 - mostly 18. Now I'm at 6. I can still vape 12 (depending on the juice and the tank), but 18 kills me. I have enough 6mg to last me the summer (hopefully ) and too much 18mg that I can't vape as is anymore, so from now on I'll only order juices with nic if they're not available in NZ. Hoping to get to 0 after the summer or sooner.

Just my 0.02 !

Thanks man, I thought about that so I ordered a little bit of near zero Betelguese as well. I'm actually trying to vary the nic level a bit. I think a lower level nic would be nice even now - not necessarily for all the time, but to enable me to vape more when I feel like vaping a lot

 

[Sloth Tonight]

To clarify -- not to hop from 18 to near zero haha, to mix for 9

 

[Ygor]

I went through 8ml of this stuff yesterday.

Mixed it with a bit of the Gravity as well... Was fantastic!

Love my Betelguese in the kayfun. 1.2ohm, KJD 10watts. Has pemanently taken over one of my kayfuns.

BG was my first ADV. I still have a little from my first order in Feb. It definitely has morphed over time and still tastes fresh. By far my favorite mixed fruit vape. F5 is a close second.

^^^^this could not be more true. I'm starting to feel like I should step down to 6 but am no where near that since I have like 40 bottles of NT juice that are well steeped. Guess I'll be at 12 for a while! But I have started ordering lower levels to mix in.

 

[Sloth Tonight]

Just started getting a burnt taste...replaced the coils...BG never tasted better to me.

Just using an iClear16. Probably a lot of room for improvement in that area, eh? Haven't looked into that side of vaping much yet. But even on the iClear BG = HEAVEN

 

[motabrownie]

I started vaping BG on an iClear 16 that I got with my Itaste vv3. It was good enough. Then I put it in a PT2 and now I mainly vape it out of a Kfl+. It's pretty much good in any topper.

I hoard GCD, no lie, I think I have three liters. I like a 4-6 month steep on it so have a ton to make sure I don't run out and have no steeped GCD as it is my ADV. If you sit on a juice that long the nic seems to fade...new juice I try from NT FOOB slaps me silly and make me soooo nic woozy. But I know they are 6mg! It's just the juice I vape all the time is probably near zero and the new juice isn't.

I'm completely and flagrantly addicted to GCD and vaping. Nicotine? Pfffft...gimmie those and I'll skate through life!

The act of smoking is what I've always loved best, it's what's drawn me back to cigs everytime I've managed to quit for a few months. I like the act of vaping as much as that of smoking for their similarities...even if I go to straight zero nic one day I can't see myself not wanting to vape, at least some of the time, and at least BG.

Smoking only has one positive over vaping: it keeps the bugs away
