'Finally got the Reggae Night and got around to mixing this one (how could we resist with a name like 'Yellow Snow'?!).
After 2 hours in the ultrasonic we were pretty sure this was one of nastiest blends we'd ever vaped! We love Lemon Sicily, but the "pine" in the Reggae Night was just crazy-intense & overwhelmingly 'green' (but not at all 'green' like the name implies...and we2groovycool old hippies would have recognized any hint of that kind of 'green'). So into the '
probably pitch it but let it steep & see how it might change box' it went...
That was mid September, and we're just getting ready for another major mixing session...so out come all boxes of bottle (and the drip attys for testing).
When I grabbed this bottle, I winced, opened it and smelled it: "Wow, the "pine-green" isn't nearly as intense as it was - neither is the lemon. There's a new 'mellow-blend smell' that's developed". Hmmm...well, testing is what we were doing, so into the atty it dripped.
This is gonna be tough to describe! The pine-greenery of the Reggae Night has lessened substantially (to the point it's
almost not recognizable as pine) but 'pine' is always recognizable and so is this; the lemon-bite-zing of the Lemon Sicily has also lessened (and we'd
never guess it as Lemon Sicily, although we might guess 'lemon' of some type or other). The "blend taste" is unidentifiable, but it's definitely herbal (again, not the kind of herb that 'Reggae' would imply), with a hint of sweetness.
We detect no 'tobacco' and it's surprisingly 'light & airy'...so much so that we're wondering how we could give it a 'bass note' for some depth. Perhaps some Tobacco Absolute would do the trick (???) - but that would likely make it even more 'green', and that is something we think it doesn't need. We've got a bottle of the Rustica TA diluted and ready to try (it's supposed to be less green). Hmmmm - our NET (very neutral, from organic, unflavored tobacco we used for stuffing analogs), always adds some nice depth - maybe that'd work.
We're both on the edge whether to pitch it or 'work with it'...so I just put a ml in a tank (Davide glassomizer, 2.5 ohm coil @ 4.0) so we can vape it awhile and see what it's really like. A few hits off a dripping atty does not indicate whether or not something is vapable for hours.
BUT.... now after reading some of the comments, and liking mild tobacco flavors also - perhaps I'll try some.
Even after steeping almost a month and a half, we don't get "mild tobacco flavor" - it's still quite intense to us.
By itself it taste to me like Oba-Oba or Hpno.
We haven't tried Reggae Night alone, but with the strong pine notes we can't imagine it tasting like either of those. But we
can imagine adding a smidge of either of those to this mix!
Overall
- if you know you like either of the main flavors, then we think it's worth mixing up to check it out...but not if you don't like "pine"
- definitely expect it to change as it steeps...a LOT
- the name "Yellow Snow" is absolutely perfect!
Your title grabbed me!! Still don't think I'm going to try it, though. Reggae Nights? Is that what I think it is?
