Wakonda, my thoughts

Fyi "small bottles" = 50mls

Full dis·clo·sure. I can be very verbose, so if you're bored easily, peruse another thread for a while and come back, I'll still be ramblin' along. Also, I don't drink so this is a sober post.

I smoked for a long time, and I'm not afraid to admit that I really enjoyed it. I loved the flavor of my tobacco, I loved the physical mechanism of smoking. I'm not speaking of the hand to mouth portion. I'm speaking to the act of inhaling the smoke, how it felt in my air passages, how it ran over my tongue and nostrils. I smoked the full flavored AS Blues which had a chemical/flavor profile that allowed me to never smoke another brand of cigarette since the first pack of AS I smoked (if that didn't make sense, other brands would make me nauseous and give me a headache within 1 drag along with poisonous flavor).

The experience above has been severely lacking in my vape experience. And I understand they are different and I never had the expectation of recapturing my smoking experience however.....

.....the last 12 hours with my tank of Wakonda have just been an awesome experience! There is way that the Wakonda vapor has imitated the smoke experience. It's density is just perfect in my air passages. Coupled with the flavor; Milky to light 1/&1/2 consistency creamed Light Roast Coffee is a subtle yet pervasive flavor through out the vape with a lovely NET on the backside exhale that has a sweetness that lingers after several hits. There is even a certain "ashy" component that lingers on the roof of my mouth. It's just got it all!

This combination of Coffee and Net together in such great balance with (for my circuitry) perfectly dense vapor fools my brain into believing that I'm engaging in smoking. The vape triggers the subconscious experience of drinking that 1st cup of coffee in the morning and smoking that 1st cigarette with it, back in the days before you had children and could smoke in a rental property (shoot, I remember smoking on a plane flight a couple of times).

Masterful mixing Kent! Your background has a really profound affect on your juice mixing. Whether subconscious and realized or just left to flow.

I am REALLY looking forward to the Virus and Switch (on frickin' Tuesday now..and mind you that's not until 11 pm Tuesday night - I'm VERY grumpy about that) that's stuck in vape mail that in no way is NT's fault, stoopid "holiday". But, I digress...

I haven't even had the chance to throw this in a dripper yet! I'm off Monday's so i'll have to make this 5 ml last! In addition, I haven't been able to let this age for a while to really see what it's about. I started DIY to save money (shakes fist and sky and damns "Clark" Kent).

So those are my thought's on Wakonda, thanks for listening.

Great review Soignee! You put into words exactly what Wakonda did for me. When this was released it immediately became my ADV, something I had not found in, at the time, 7 months of vaping. It is by far my most purchased and vaped liquid from any vendor. Since it came out in July I have finished off six 50 ml bottles, that works out to about 100 ml per month. I guess I like it... Nah, I love it!!!

I have yet to pull the trigger on Wakonda due to the fact that I do not care for "Creamy" vapes (CLS and CB), although I do love coffee. I just feel that if I do get it I will end up having to trade for another bottle of something that I don't like. Pessimist yes, although it is warranted what with the economy, being semi retired and working part time to pay for heart meds, yeah life sucks, but again, I just do not want to be disappointed again. The Switch was such a letdown for me, once bitten twice shy, so it goes.

I'm curious to know if anybody has added a little Frenilla to Wakonda? Sounds good thinking of it but I haven't had a chance to try it yet, or any tobacco juice. Definitely on my next month's reorder list.

Frenilla + anything = win, IMHO

Wakonda's creamy but not overly so...nothing like CLS or CB. others may disagree but I don't think the creaminess of wakonda is overwhelming it's well balanced.

oh, Frenilla + Wakonda is HEAVEN my favorite mix thus far i usually run wakonda solo for a few days, then add in frenilla and vape it like that for a few days before switching to another juice entirely

Really good write up, can't wait to try it. I just placed an order yesterday (wakonda, H1N1, CLS, and Grap3 Ap3) and it looks like it will be out for delivery tomorrow, shaping up to be a nice weekend. Especially since I got a message on the Nicoticket site saying they "over-filled" my order and to enjoy the extra tank or three on them! That really impressed me am sure I will be ordering more, after all the good things I have heard about their juices.

 

[Soignee]

And it begins...

Thanks for the props. I think you are REALLY gonna enjoy your order!

Same as others have said. It's just an accent for me. A creamy coffee flavor is the main squeeze, and vanilla and tobacco notes serve to accentuate that flavor. My wife is my nose tester, and she says she doesn't really smell the Wakonda. Others like the virus she smelled...in a good way. She likes the way the virus makes the room smell.

The most common comment I get from non-vapers around me is that the exhaled vapor from the Virus "smells like pancakes".

<---is wishing that she could taste what you all taste in Wakonda. Trying it again this morning and still nothing. Guess I'll put it, and the others away to come back and address them again in the future.

Thanks! Think I am headed out to get another Nautilus, something tells me I am going to need a third tank to try most of them the first day.

I had these problems a LOT before I bought my first REO. I find I have to be careful I don't get TOO MUCH flavor. Sounds silly but depending on the build some things can be overwhelming to me whereas before, in a carto, I'd be wondering if I was tasting anything.

Baring that option have a Zotz and more steep. LOL

Weird situation. I got a friend vaping and PIFd the last 15 ml of Wakonda I had on hand a few weeks back. I saw her yesterday and she comes uo to me and the convo is like:

Hey, got any more of that Wakonda?
I have some, and more coming in today.
Can I get some of that off you?
How much do u want?
Maybe a 30?
Ok. I'll hook you up.

Ummm. Yea.

#infected (but she won't order anything on the net, so I've become the middleman I guess.
