Mine is here but I've yet to try it, need to clean and rewick my KFLitePlus first, then we shall see... but I would bet it'll be right up there, judging by the reviews. The Virus was an immediate favorite of mine- FOOB and all. If The Switch is anything like it, I will be a VERY happy vaper!

when you review it make sure to emphasize to clark it could save lives and is a keeper ;)

Not at all like Virus, but if u don't like it. Keep vaping. It grew on me fast.

Thanks for your input. Maybe the similarities I'm noticing between the two is that both are more straight tobaccos, as opposed to the rest of my juices which are all bakery/fruit/dessert types. I think I will eventually like The Switch, it's just a different taste to me.

I'd welcome any comparison to BB - but - and it might have similar components (not knowing what's in BB, impossible to know)... but, like you said, maybe similar in that it's NOT a dessert tobacco. That's where it differs from The Virus - it's all tobacco, and plenty of it.

I vaguely thought about Round House then dismissed the thought because The Switch is fragrant, not floral ...never thought about it again.

I think that's an apt description - fragrant but not floral. Roundhouse is floral by design, with rose essence incorporated as a major component. Any floral element incorporated into The Switch will steep out for the most part...

keep us posted how it is in the odin ive thought about getting an odin never vaped anything like that before

Its awesome @ 0.5ohms with dual 28g coils, 1/16" ID, 7 tension wraps... airflow wide open...

.. its like going from sipping a drink from a straw, to a chugging a pint glass... flavor is excellent, but nothing extraordinary... I think its great because its very easy to build on and is really a authentic quality RDA for the money.

I wil admit, it is a little too much for me when I first wake up (with a fresh battery)... I've been using my Magma Rda with a single coil (usually with GCD), until I am ready for more vapor... I will usually cough on my first lung hit, but it feels good... kickstarts my day from there! ;)

If sure if you happen to get one and don't like it, you could sell it for the about the same value... like NT juice!

To update on the switch:
I am loving it, and the flavor has changed on me a little bit... I don't think it has actually steeped much, maybe IDK, but more of it being my taste buds, evening out... which is a good thing. Its even smoother now...

I gave my friend 15ml+... the one who is trying to switch from analogs... haven't heard back from him yet, but he was excited to try it. :)

Good vibes going to your friend, hope he makes The Switch!

thanks, Kent-I'm still learning about different flavors as I've only been vaping a few months. I've tried around 20 NT flavors so far so I'm obviously a fan.

The Switch is nothing like Boba's (Alien Visions), IMO. Boba's has been described in many ways including notes of graham cracker, raisins, figs, cherries and chocolate with a tobacco back note. To me the Switch is a primo tobacco forward and at this early date has confusing back notes. Once it matures I envision it to change notes depending on how and what it is vaped in. When I first tried it FOOB it was somewhat reminiscent of Dirty Monkey Vapeworks NEMP to me.

Tbh I really don't WANT to trade any. But I hate for you to not get a taste. You may be able to talk me into a trade. Probably for a 30 (I have some bottles I can transfer to). Whatcha got to trade? ACB is always first choice, I think this go round Wakonda would be next, then virus, CLS or CB.

Probably PM Superman first, he said something about possible re release Tuesday of a small amount???

I haven't a clue what's in BB, but it isn't anything like The Switch for me. I know because I tried BB only two days ago and don't like it ...there's a 'dirty' undertone to it that I didn't like at all, and won't be using again. The Switch is very different for me.

I think that's an apt description - fragrant but not floral. Roundhouse is floral by design, with rose essence incorporated as a major component. Any floral element incorporated into The Switch will steep out for the most part...
I pick it up, think perhaps it's odd, then keep using it because I find it quite compelling - I plan to try some at least once each week and look forward to seeing how it progresses.
Certainly a clean, warm tobacco, and I definitely get a sort of syrupy, golden light caramel flavour from it that lingers after putting it down again. As Sloth said, it's kind of mysterious :)

So, tried the switch in the Odin (dual 28gcoils about .5ohms)... honestly I think the flavor is just as good as in the Divo. I am a little surprised, but it doesn't seem to mute anything for me. Now, I will admit I have the airflow closed up about as much as it can go. The only way I can open it all the way up for lung hits is with < 3mg juice, otherwise it hurts me (I typically vape 6 mg, mouth to lung inhales). And yeah- fragrant rather than floral- much better word. It has such an extraodinary flavor/aroma I think it would be hard to mute it...
I never thought I'd like 22mm attys but I really do. I can get just as good flavor and thicker/denser/more vapor with my Odin for the most part. Problem is- it takes lower ohms to do that-- I go through almost twice as much juice and get at least a third less time on my batteries, so I stick to the smaller attys for my all day set-up, and save the big guy for when I get home.
I did pick up a small bottle of Roundhouse with my order, I'll try that sometime tonight as well. Actually, I got all kinds of delicious things to try... so exciting!

I haven't tried BB, but I have tried Tribeca and this is nothing like it. I don't get any nuttiness and there is no chemical taste on the inhale or exhale.


I pick it up, think perhaps it's odd, then keep using it because I find it quite compelling - I plan to try some at least once each week and look forward to seeing how it progresses.

It is definitely compelling. There is a floral note on the inhale, but it's more herbal than flowery. I can see where some may take this as piney, but my take is that it's a citrus like flavor with a hint of anise. It is reminiscent of the taste of wet, preserved lemon peel (Taki' & Newport' will know what I'm talking about).
The tobacco is there too. Just not up front yet. It's providing the body to the mix and there's a lot of it. Plenty of throat hit and a lot of vapor with the 1 ohm setup I've been testing with. The simplest description for me is a mix of the Virus and Radio' on steroids . . . . . :D

Igo-w, single twisted 28/30g coil @ 1 ohm w/ airhole @ 5/64"
Hana v3 mini @ 13.8w & Provari mini @ 3.8v (because I killed the battery on the Hana and couldn't wait)

I can't wait to see how this steeps out. If it's this good now, I may have to get another reo or displace what's in one of my three right now.
(Clark & Sloth' you were right - ME LIKEY!!!)
