Well said, hittman! I enthusiastically agree.
Just in case anyone missed it, there's a pretty strongly held belief of mine about WTA that I'd like to re-state.
I really can't stress enough my belief that if you're content vaping traditional e-liquid, and you're not suffering from frequent analog cravings such that you find yourself backsliding into smoking, then WTA is something you really don't need (and Jerry will be happy to sell you the traditional liquids too!). WTA definitely "scratches the itch", but if you've not got the analog itch, then no need to be scratching at it!!

I might be tempted to give a few 1ML samples out in a contest but need to come up with a fun contest.
Poor Jerry... I think after 3 days straight being up and working he finally went to sleep...
right in the middle of a sentence. LOL
Sweet dreams Jerry!
Jerry it's a great thing you are doing by releasing this liquid. I think there are alot of people out there that are struggling that this will help.
A big thanks to Dvap for all his work past and present.
Thanks will always go to DVap, and others who led this charge.Thanks need to go to Dvap. He has the knowledge and expertise. I do feel good standing behind and making available a product that might help others including myself.
OK, I just want to repeat what Jerry said earlier, "You will not see a unicorn".
Old-timers here can tell you that I get like this and start throwing out math...
WTA is nothing more than about 1% by weight of what is in tobacco. Instead of burning the tobacco and smoking it all (or doing a nasty VG soak on tobacco to try to DIY some tobacco flavor, who here hasn't tried that?!) to get that 1%, we take that key 1% out of the tobacco. It ends up as a liquid, mostly nicotine (perhaps 95%) with the other 5% being the other alkaloids. To get just 1 mL of this 95% nicotine/5% other alkaloids liquid out of tobacco, it takes about the equivalent of 120 cigarettes (or 6 packs). That 1 mL of nicotine/alkaloid liquid will make 50 mL of 20 mg WTA e-liquid. Here's the neat part... most of use could smoke those 6 packs of cigarettes in 3 days. If we're using 1 mL/day, that's 50 days to use up the amount of WTA liquid that can be gotten from 6 packs of cigarettes (120 cigarettes). Oh yea, that 99% by weight that's not alkaloids, it gets thrown away.
Confused yet? Just remember, no unicorns, no visions, you will not become more attractive. It compares to a good packet of snus.
You mean I'm not supposed to rub it on my face? Just kidding.
I think the plain WTA tastes great and would suggest that each person that buys it drips at least a little by itself before mixing it just to have the experience of how it tastes and feels by itself. I think its the closest you can get to the feel of a smoke without burning tobacco.
As I understand it, they're experimenting with synthesizing it from different base tobaccos which gives a different base flavor, subtle but distinctive.

I'm very disappointed in you DVap. I really really wanted to see the Unicorns, or at least a few miniature ponies.
Seriously though, it's been a long time coming. I checked and it was over a 1 1/2 years ago when you stumbled on to the idea of WTA (though I'm not quite sure stumbled is the right word). Who was it that came up with the term "there's something missing". I'm still doing the snus and a few stonewalls and do like the KISS method of smokeless, but as least there is another option out their if I chose it. I think you should all get together and send TB a pint of this stuff.
I have a question... WTA is made in the US with US tobacco plants, right? Does this means we can see Big Tobacco interested on the ecig business any time in the foreseeable future? Or is this like a small tobacco group doing this?
