I also got some WTA's from a different vendor and have found them to be unquestionably better than the other juices I own. I'm usually vaping with a device in each hand constantly taking hits but when I used this WTA's from Vapelicious {I was on cam too!} within minutes, stopped vaping completely for about an hour. I ordered the med strength. I was chatting with "MadmanMcGuyver" when he said "Hey you aren't vaping!
You don't have two devices going lol!"
I have gotten a cloudy feeling from having too much nicotine when I was first starting out but I never got this type of feeling from this particular juice. I ordered 3 10ml bottles and the prices were very reasonable for the product I received.
The taste {and I asked for it to be mixed with a little flavor} was very fresh, clean and pleasing.
I was impressed by how clean and clear the taste is and no funky after tastes on the exhale either that you sometimes get. The taste is not strong or very "upfront"?
But it is really pleasing and juices being so very subjective for all I think it would be hard to find one that everyone will enjoy but these could be one of those. I don't vape tobacco's usually but the "Turkish Apricot" was really nicely blended not too overpowering a tobacco taste and the same for the apricot but together it was a pleasing, lovely taste reminding me of a natural cigar just a bit.
I also got a "Mani Berry and a Strawberry Pear with a tiny bit of cooling and a sample of another flavor which I like but cannot figure out what it is! All were good no complaints from me.
As Dmitri said that throat was really strong and not unpleasant for me I don't usually get a sore throat from vaping except rarely like when I have used 6 mls.
I vape 24ml juice all day every day between 3-6 mls. but I think I would use much less of this particular juice. I have not used the WTA on an all day basis yet but I will just for the sake of experimenting with it. Mind you I'm not trying to pit Aroma against Vapelicious, I don't care if 50 companies offer it.
I have given out a few samples to other to so I'm sure we will also hear their opinions soon.
For me it worked and worked very well.

Very nice review...covers all one would like to know and you seem 100% sincere. Wondering if you can't give the last of your WTA to your wife to try when she's feeling the need for a cig and let us know how that works?

i only have about 6 drops left and i dont think that is enough to give an honest opinion. i always aim to give an honest and accurate view, so when it is available for purchase i will get some for my wife and follow up on it. thank you for your comments!

For those who have tied this type of product, I have what may seem like a silly question, but here it is:
Do you think you would know the difference between this stuff and regular e-liquid in a blind test?

As an example, when I first started vaping I had all kinds of flavors/ nic strengths. I tend to fill up my cartridges and leave for the day, so I'm stuck with whatever I flavor I brought with me. Anyway, I spent an entire day at 0 nicotine and never noticed until I came home 12 hours later. Made me wonder how much of this vaping stuff is just mental.

What are your thoughts on that?
Thanks and nice reviews. :)

    Somewhere between here and there
    I would guarantee 100% that I could tell you the difference between the two. The feel of the TH and vapor in the lungs is quite a bit different. I have had WTA before this and also tested some of Jerry's. There is a noticeable difference between WTA liquid and regular nicotine liquids.

    Personally I don't believe nicotine is as addictive in vaping as it is when your smoking a cigarette.
    I have gone from using 24mg nicotine to using 0 {sent to me in samples of a new products} and never really felt any kind of withdrawals like I experienced when using the patch or just going CT.
    We all know they add many different chemicals to make the nicotine more binding to your receptors and addictive.
    I don't think you can exclude either beliefs that, some think they're addicted or mine that some of us are not.

    Nice, honest review. I have vaped a bit of WTA for a number of weeks now. I can definitely tell the difference. Firstly it hits my mouth differently, not like a taste but it seems to hit different receptors on my tongue. Even more so in the throat. I find juice hits one or two spots in my throat, sometimes pretty hard. WTA hits a number of other spots and this is harder to define, but in areas of the throat more like tobacco. So I find it broader and more comprehensive, not stronger, especially compared to those juices that add extra throat kick in. The first time I vaped it was actually excessive physiogical feeling of almost rush and dizziness, like if you hadn't smoked for a while then got that on the first cig. It's less pronounced now, also because I've been mixing it with regular juice to stretch out the supply, (and because I still prefer to get a nice flavor with it), by itself it's kind of bland, mostly just tastes of VG itself. I do get that feel right away, a physical effect and I do still get the satisfaction and satiation. I also vape it as my last vape at night because it does make me feel calmer, not an immediate effect but it does come on and helps me sleep.

    I also think this is not for everybody. If you're already vaping low-nic all day, you probably don't need to try it. If you never have a strong craving for smoking, you probably don't need it. If you're chain-vaping all day and don't really want to have that feeling of being ok to put it down for a while, it may not be for you.

    If you do still smoke, or are struggling to not do so this could be what you're looking for. If you're ok with just vaping but prefer not to chain vape or have periods where you can't vape and those are difficult for you, it may be worth trying.

    Personally I gave up smoking in May through vaping but it was equally through will power, because nic juice has never really given me satisfaction and is really an alternative not a substitution. I've over-nicced a few times, sweaty etc but never had any level of satiation until I tried WTA.

    On a side note, I'd like to say something about Aroma. Mass availability of WTA is a new frontier. Logically, more ingredients must mean more potential harm, though I personally think that avoiding the byproducts of burning tobacco is worth far more than any risks that could be associated with vaping or vaping WTA, and I've done a fair amount of research.

    When I first met Jerry and his WTA, I asked him hundreds of questions, some which have been posted, plus many others. I found Jerry to be a man of utmost integrity, who cares immensely of how this enterprise is handled and is doing it, with advice from others, in a manner that's carefully considered with controls and testing in place and not cutting corners. I feel the integrity of the person offering this product is hugely important. I want Jerry to succeed in this, not just for my own future supply but because I care and believe in the vaping community at large.

    I'm kind of hoping there won't be "mass suppliers" of this product for the simple fact that it seems when there are so many people engaged in the same business in my experience the quality can go downhill right fast.
    Every Tom, *Rick and ..... will be thinking {perhaps} that they can do a "simple extraction" and have "so called WTA's" for sale as we've seen with juices for vaping.
    I'm not knocking small vendors because I buy most of my juices from those small vendors but this is a wholly different type of production in my estimation!
    I want to be assured with a product like this that we really know what the hell we are getting!
    I'd like to only see those with a chemical background, experience with the product and manufacturing process' plus {at least their partners/staff} an openness to answer questions from whomever may ask or be interested.;)

    *Seriously I can't use the nickname for "Richard"? :glare:
    Wow just wow.:blink:

    thanks for all the replies, i agree that more testing needs to be done and i tried to make sure i get that point across in my video. I have spoken with Jerry many times on the phone and he comes across as a genuine, professional and educated person and do hope the continues the research and effort he has put in so far to make this product.

    having said that i must stress once again that this product is absolutely not meant for everyone but there are people out there struggling everyday either trying to make the switch or fall off the wagon and go back to analogs. those people might have alot to benefit from WTA.

    Thanks Dimitris for the review. You've had better luck with the Aroma guy.. I pm'd him weeks ago and he never bothered to reply to questions (I wanted to know if this vendor was planning on attending Vapefest, so i can pick his brain re: his WTA juice). At that point I was an easy customer, ready to bookmark the thread and stand in line to pay the price to experiment with WTA.

    Thanks to cigarbabe, I know there are others who have been exploring WTA.. After checking out Vapelicious's website I found this article just a few minutes ago.

    disclaimers: i am not affiliated with Vapelicious in any way & Jerry from Aroma finally replied to my pm.

    thanks for the response. i can only talk about my own interaction with Jerry and everytime i have called him or left a msg with him with a question he has always been prompt in answering me.I really want to stay away from vaping politics and drama. my only concern is to inform vapers about products i have used which help kick dirty cigs and i will always stick to that. im sorry you had a bad experience.
