For those of you looking for the ultimate cigarette replacement Ejuice, G.I Joe with whole tobacco alkaloids (WTA) is definitely one to try. The WTA eliquid is created by filtering out less of the alkaloids that are found in pure tobacco, allowing the ejuice to potentially provide a sensation closer to that of an actual cigarette (without the burning chemicals, of course). According to the Aroma Ejuice website, up to 5% of the WTA nicotine base is minor and trace alkaloids. What does this mean for the vaper?
At least in the case of the G.I. Joe eliquid I purchased, it means a very satisfying vape. This eliquid is not sweet or complex, but may be one of the closest to an analog that I’ve tasted yet. Vapor is very good and throat hit is excellent. Whether it’s the WTA or not, I really can’t say, but this is a satisfying blend. At $12 for 10ml, it doesn’t come cheap, but as a cigarette replacement it is tough to beat.

Well we can forgive our friend for totally misunderstanding what WTA is. This has nothing to do with flavoring. It has everything to do with the increased level of satisfaction that many users enjoy. To get WTA though you need to buy juice with WTA in it. If it has just the pure nic, like 99% of juice does, you simply won’t get the minor alkaloids. This has nothing to do with flavorings as has been pointed out.
You don’t need to know anything about chemistry to experience the effects here though, and that’s what this is all about. Many people like it, some people don’t, for those who do experience the benefits though there is no mistaking it.
For those of us in this category, myself included, regular juice is just another failed attempt to replace smoking tobacco with nicotine replacement therapy. We can just suck it up and tell ourselves we will never be as satisfied as we were were when we smoked, and therefore there is a price to be paid. I do not want to pay one, and with WTA, I don’t.
Maceration (process to get natural tobacco extract) is NOT a method that provides any significant amount of WTA in juice.
There are a number of juice manufacturers that prepare and use macerated FLAVORS in their products and that is what the method is used for..flavor. To extract the real tobacco flavor instead of artificial flavoring. In fact there is hardly any nicotine present in macerated flavoring and all the manufacturers add nicotine in to get the desired mg levels. Considering that WTAs generally represents about 5% by content of nic, 5% of almost nothing is so minute that it can’t honestly be represented.
WTA extraction is a completely different process and done properly provides only straight nicotine and whole tobacco alkaloids. Maceration is merely a soaking to produce authentic flavor, WTA production is an extraction process to produce the whole alkaloids. WTA is not a gimick, a mere claim or a novelty. I suggest you do proper investigation before you spout off incorrectly.
Hate to be debby downer but there plenty vendors using natural tobacco extract honestly without all the marketing claims & outrageous price of this whole WTA novelty..
Mg, you have really missed the boat on what WTA is, and what it isn’t. What you think of as natural tobacco extract is nothing more then a natural tobacco flavor extract, which is completely different from Whole Tobacco Alkaloids, which is an extract of the minor alkaloids along with the nicotine naturally present in tobacco.
In fact WTA has no flavor on its own but is simple nicotine and the minor alkaloids. The natural tobacco extract you are thinking of has no nicotine or minor alkaloids and is nothing but the essence of tobacco flavor. It is very much apples and oranges.
You need to do some research before you make silly misinformed statements as you have.
Hey MG,
I think you don’t really understand or know anything about WTA. In no way is a natural tobacco extract even close to WTA. Your claim that WTA is a novelty or marketing ploy is funny. I suspect you are a supplier (maybe even a reviewer) who is probably doing tobacco soaks and wants to mislead the public about soaking vs real extraction. Your tone sounds like a reviewer who has his own line of elqiuds (no not grimm green….I respect him).
I suggest you do some reading and understand a little bit about the process before you make claims that tobacco extracts hold any minor alkaloids. Maybe you should talk to a high school chem teacher and ask them how alkaloids are extracted before you spread more misinformation.
