After having a few hours with it.... Well.... Let me start off all proper:
ZNA 30 Clone by Robbot
Taifun GT clone by HCigar
1.4ohm Single (28 gauge)
Cotton Wick
Wattage - 11-18
At first, I was surprised. Like, this reminds me A LOT of the virus. No, I'm not referring to the taste. I'm referring to the reaction. Uncertain at first but can't put it down! First few pulls, I'm thinking about the reviews I've read so far. Earthy, Check. Smoky, Check. Good Vapor, Check. Piney, Check.
From hear I start formulating my own opinions. I imagined it to be a little heavier/darker tasting, but it's not bad. Yea, I'm at not bad at this point... Floral hints, most definitely. I know floral isn't the proper term, but it's all I got right now to describe it. At this point I'm at 11 watts. So I think back to Clarks post, this likes heat, OK no problem, lets see what happens. 11 watts, 12, 13, change battery, 15, 18 here we go. The higher the wattage goes, the lesser the floral notes. Their still present, but diminishing and changing. This isn't what I was expecting really, but I'm not saying that as good or bad, just was picturing a darker taste. 5 hours later, 5 ml later, still vaping the hell out of it. I'm curious to see where this goes with a little steep, as I believe what I'm describing as floral will tamp down and/or blend in better with time. Too tired tonight, but tomorrow I'm planning on sticking about 5ml in an empty 15 bottle and leaving it with the cap off over night just in the name of science, if it goes to hell, that's ok... If something magical happens, then I can update for those that it's not hitting for.
My honest opinion after 5 hours with it (2 of which in a movie, so other than a couple stealth vapes I didn't really hit it) is that I REALLY like this. I feel like some steep will do it good, but I also think at this moment and early impression that it's just a hint of something away from being my perfect vape. I'm itching to drop a lil ACB in it (very 'lil) tomorrow just to add a small caramel note.
Like when I first tried the virus, it was "Meh" at first few pulls, but then I can't put it down and it's growing on me... Possibly the smoothest vape I've had yet, and really looking forward to where this ends up... It's a good thing I ordered 200ml, otherwise I probably wouldn't get to see what it tastes like fully steeped. I will say, crank the heat up!!!
