It is very smooth. No throat hit that I have picked up to this point however, I am used to vaping 6-12mg.

That is great to hear. I hope the postal carrier understands that the red flag means danger until the box arrives.

I was thinking some vanilla and/or almond etc. may work too :) I've never had a straight NET before, so it'll be interesting ...may be rather wonderful! ;)

Being straight tobacco really opens up the experimental options. The dual wells on the Magma has made for some fun science projects. It's NETs all day every day lately and I love 'em. I've got some extra NTVG running around if you need it. I've got a drawer full of fruity and food vapes from numerous companies gathering dust in the drawer right now as my tastes have changed again.

That's good to hear! I have a number of 100% VG ones, and a small arsenal of flavouring just begging to be tried!

I've been overly precious with my NT VG ones, and will have to use them rather than sit looking at them!
I'd always hoped banana or butterscotch pudding would appear in a Max VG, but it never did.

I'm not a huge fan of straight fruit unless it's with something like cream, custard, cake ...I like a rich Belgian type chocolate too. If I get stuck for something VG, I'll ask if you have it! Thank you ..it's really kind :)

I hear that. I have the same drawer, though slightly thinned out now after giving away well over half of it. Heck even quite a few NT flavors have become "rainy-day" vapes. I really don't bust out of the Virus and Wakonda "rut" (i'm hesitant to call it a rut) much at all. :) Except for Bandcamp... couple times a week.
Looking forward to Strike though - like you said... many possibilities aside from 'nothin but NET' goodness.
Has anyone else tried it yet???? Is there a Hit It/Quit It thread for it I missed?

I have a couple bottles that Kent and Katy gave me yesterday. It is a very smooth and light tasting tobacco. No throat hit for me however, I normally vape 6-12mg so that could be the case. I have to give it a real run once I do a rebuild. I ordered a Velocity RDA today and once that comes in, I will put a kanthal build in it to run Strike through the paces. I currently am using a nickel build and I am not too fond of the build.

We need a Strike Hit or Miss thread.......I got my Zephyrus sub ohm tank yesterday and had a chance to do a build on it today. The build is dual 24 gauge kanthal, .35ohms at 35 watts. I get a throat hit here. Not much but it is there. I also get that smooth, light tobacco taste and getting a small fruit note.

So i'm not completely out of my mind (at least regarding this juice)!

Ive also been tasting an a slight fruit "note" or at least the "bite" of citrusy "note".

You're not hallucinating - can you tell what it is?

You mean you see the pink elephant wearing a tophat too? PHEW!

Not as of yet, but i'm pretty terrible at identifying fruit flavors in juices.

I really do need to spend some more time with Strike, but i'm just terribly addicted to Radio right now, so everything else (aside from some occasional Strawnilla) has been on the sidelines.

The Strike arrived to me late today just before I was heading out the door for work. Was anxious to give it a go but didn't have much time so I quickly wicked up a brand new ST Mini RDA unit, loaded it up and off I went. Once I settled in here at work, I fired it off.

I haven't smoked cigarettes in years but what I'm getting is a very clean and nice tobacco flavor ( reminiscent of say a Marlboro light) with a lovely and ( not overly) sweet finish and hints of either white grape or lychee. Haven't quite pinpointed it yet but for being FOB as it is, I can say that I am quite impressed. Cant wait to toss a few different builds and equipment at it to put it through it's paces. Strike? Oh yeah...Good stuff Maynard! :)

Edit: Forgot to mention that I also tossed a bit into a unicorn bottle as well and I'm glad I did as I've already blown through a tank backing it up with the prerequisite Wakonda loaded in Reo#2...

It always amazes me how certain liquids can change up from day to day. Today I picked up the Strike with a fresh palate and I'm getting hints of a pear nectory pineapple juice in the finish which is a pleasant surprise...:)
Now that sounds rather nice! :)

Hmmm, maybe coriander, or possible hints of peach.
Currently hitting it in a Derringer dual coils 26ga 2mm ID, 8 wraps @.45 Ohm.
Oh, I hope I don't get that- don't like coriander, and peach doesn't seem to work well for me if it's the only fruit ;)

I'll just have to wait and see! :laugh:
