WTA juice suggestion for new vaper

[Charley Crystal]

I've been vaping and smoking for the last 3-4 weeks. I've struggled but remain committed to getting off cigarettes completely. I like vaping, there are many things pleasurable about it and I'm able to go longer without a real cig. I'm down to 2-5/ day. I love the eRoll, my cravings for a real cig are getting less and less. Here's the problem: the second this anxious, type A, dancer gets a hit of stress I hit the cig. I read around the site and suspect my anxiety is quelled with the other alkaloids in tobacco, not just nicotine. This makes sense since I'm a high octane ball of anxious stress.

I think I should investigate WTA juice but I have concerns as it still has carcinogens in it. I'm missing the "the world is ok" moment when I puff on a real cig when I'm having a melt down which can be set off fairly easily. When I'm having fun I just puff my ecig not missing anything, it's just in the stressful moments I need that something. There are days I can't even finish a cigarette but today a bunch if stuff hit me like a ton of bricks. I'm also lacking focus which I hate.

i have quit smoking cold turkey for 9 months, couldn't focus at all. I couldn't be creative with my choreography or tricks.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Companies? How is the taste? Still good like vape juice?

What you're missing are those lovely minor alkaloids.

I have used Swedish snus (very safe and thoroughly studied for safety), dissolvable tobacco (Ariva, Stonewall--also very pure) and the new kid on the block, the WTAs.

We have a smokeless tobacco subforum, where you can find all you want to know about this subject:

Smokeless tobacco

As of today, there are three vendors that offer WTAs--I have been using Aroma's WTAs for quite some time and I'm very happy with them. They have their own subforum here--I suggest you pay them a visit and have a chat with Jerry and other users.

Aroma Ejuice

I also recommend reading dVap's blog--he's a chemist and the brain behind the entire concept of WTAs. He knows everything there is to know on the subject--he's been at it for years.

Good luck!

When it comes to what company, there can be only one. Aroma EJuice

As for carcinogens, the bulk of them are mitigated by the fact that you're not burning tobacco and inhaling the smoke.

The other carcinogen issue would be the tobacco specific nitrosamines (TNSAs). These are minimized by Aroma (and hopefully the other WTA vendors) by selecting tobacco that is flue-cured using modern curing barns. When I say "modern curing barns", I refer to barns that do not allow the combustion gases that heat the barn to directly contact the tobacco leaves. Typically, the fuel is propane or perhaps butane, and when these fuels are burned, nitrogen oxides are formed. It is the interaction between these nitrogen oxides and the tobacco leaf during curing that is largely responsible for TSNA formation. Modern flue-curing barns still burn propane or butane (or maybe even natural gas), but these gases are passed through a fan driven heat exchanger and exited out the top of the barn without ever being allowed to interact with the tobacco leaves. Outside air free of these combustion gases pass over the heat exchanger fins and is warmed. This fresh warm air is then allowed to flow throughout the curing barn and interact with the tobacco leaves.

Long explanation, but something worth knowing!

And yes, OTD, AromaEjuice is the best you can get... wonderful stuff. I swear by their unflavored 24 mg WTA (I taught them how to make it, after all!) But Charley, don't let the "unflavored" designation put you off, the unflavored stuff from Aroma has a wonderful nutty throat feel... warm and full and no nasty aftertaste. A friend here who is a bit of a juice authority (I think he's tried over 700 juices) has referred to my unflavored WTA as better than anything else he's ever tried... and Aroma uses my recipe.
