Looking to possibly get radioactive, thoughts and opinions and which one is better? Also which has less of a tobacco taste?

Curious what people say here - but if you want my 2c - H1N1 is a better vape. Mind you, I am speaking from the perspective of a vaper only - there are a TON of people who will disagree.

Profile-wise, I think most people would say Radioactive is lighter on the tobacco from an intensity perspective, but from a % of flavoring... Radioactive is about even with H1N1. It might come off as lighter due to the very smooth finish and the higher VG content.

That was my experience with Radioactive, similar but lighter than H1N1.

I guess I'm the oddball out. I get more tobacco upfront with Radioactive, or more of a cigar/pipe like thing. It's pretty good, but not near as smooth as H1N1 for me.

My bottles(s) of H1N1 are 2 months old, and the last week or two I am getting a lot more smooth tobacco on the exhale. Really amazing stuff.

That is a key differentiator - I get more "pipe/cigar" out of Radioactive - H1N1 tastes more like an analog.

Yeah, I didn't really consider it a "tobacco" vape until about two weeks ago, but I vape it at lower watts than you guys too. Now the exhale is like smelling a Marlboro. I kind of miss it fresh, just like GCD. My GCD is two months old I have to put on a micro at 18 watts to get the cinnamon to pop. I just found the next place I live is El Paso though, I'll be there in October, so hopefully shipping won't take 3 weeks and I can get some fresh NT. Hey, I got that first order too, forgot to tell you. The one that got sent to Africa or whatever. Excellent pre-steep on that badboy. The Frenilla's got me staying up late and losing sleep....

Dude - thank you so much for tying off on that order... I wondered? Did they ever give a proper explanation for the African Safari detour?

Oh wow, I just saw you have a fruity pebble vape??! I think you might have an order coming in soon. And ive been waiting for radioactive to come back, I missed it last time. Sorry for the off topic post.

Now I understand why you were surprised that Radio' ended up in my 'Mini. I agree that H1N1 is a more complex flavored vape, but Radio' is just plain enjoyable. It's like drinking a vintage wine with a expensive dinner and having a simple table wine at a bbq. Both are good in their own right.

Well, it's just the USPS or Military Mail. I'm in Turkey right now with a pretty strange address and the volume of mail that we get once a week is pretty small, so they are not used to seeing our address. Probably 1/10 packages sent to us goes to the wrong place first, maybe Afghanistan or Italy, but they usually fix it within a day or two. And then probably 1/5 of them gets messed up in the states, like this second Reo that I've got coming.

I don't know if it sat in Chicago the whole time, or was sent somewhere else and then back to Chicago. I am pretty sure it's my wacky address, because back in Germany I've had probably 400+ packages delivered with no problem at all.

I've got no idea why my purple package sat in Africa for a month though.

I find both of these 2 different enough to enjoy both in my rotation. The Virus is probably the one juice I couldn't live without, mainly because it's a one of a kind juice. The Virus to me has sweeter richer notes, hints of cinnamon, vanilla, and tobacco that all work together to make that unique flavor. Not to mention the constant mutation of flavor. Radioactive is complex, but in a way a bit more straightforward. It's definitely a tobacco, more of a cigar/pipe tobacco, with a rich flavor that's a little harder to identify. Having read that sassafras tobacco was the spice profile, i can see that. The Virus to me is a bit sweeter. I like to blend my Radioactive with a bit around 10% or less of Frenilla. They're both amazing juices.

LOL - you know me, I am just stuck on H1N1. I vape Radioactive and I get an "eh, it's alright." It's probably #4 or #5 on my personal list of tobaccos. I still have 100ml from the last batch that I may bust out as soon as I have 100ml to replace it. I need to hit those older bottles before I even pass judgement on it personally... this is only the second run. Just my honest 2c - but I didn't expect there to be a second run. I was surprised there was such a deafening clamor to bring it back, honestly. I don't get what all the fuss is about, but hey, that's why they say taste is subjective. LOL More H1N1 for me. :evil:

You have the patience of a saint dude, I would have gone postal. LOL

I can say that you have turned me to the darkside and I started mixing Frenilla with H1N1 - I have yet to really give it a shot with Radioactive. Radioactive and Frenilla use the same in-house vanilla extract so I expect they would pair exceptionally well. I don't mind mixing the fresh vanilla, but the super steeped bottles - those are for Katy to vape - she guards them like a hawk. She even slapped my hand when I reached for one the other night. HAHA

Ooooh I'm having a Vader moment, turning folks to the darkside, muahaha. Well, you may be Superman, but I'm glad Katy's got you in check. Don't touch Katy's vapes, m'kay? As for mixing H1N1 with anything, um, no, no, no. I wouldn't even be tempted to do that. But try the Radioactive with it, just a touch. It's good!

Wait till she reads this tomorrow, I can hear the - "I think you need to listen to catmomma." with the evil death glare if I mention getting my greedy little paws on her precious Frenilla stash. AHAH
