    Newbie - currently a pipe smoker using condor tobacco

    1st off welcome to the forum..... I agree with Upinsmoke.... NETs are the way to go. Try the commercial offerings or research the diy. DIY you can use the same tobacco you use for smoking/combustion (no waste/do not use prerolled cigs). Be fore warned, the flavor will not taste like...

    *****Best 150W box mod*****

    Yosta Livepor 160 65 grams w/o batteries. 158grams w/batteries. 30usd Very pocket friendly. I bought one (work/beater) over a year ago (knock on wood) still going strong. Tc is not accurate. At 25w I get 24-36 hours vape time.

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    @Mr Steeps The 2 tobaccos, cohiba/ohm natural, I used when I smoked. Extraction was not heated nor previously used (smoked) tobacco. Fresh, unused, just bought, tobacco is used in 6 week (or more) cold (room temp) extraction. I hope this clears that up for you. I sorry, it must be my southern...

I vape only diy NETs. Flavor is outstanding. Spacing/shaping 30awg SS wired during low wattage (15-18w) pulse(s).

    Do any other vapers not inhale vapor into the lungs?

    There good NET retailers out there. I believe one offers coffee extracts. I might have read a diy coffee extract; memory fells me. I believe you'll find that the vaping experience with NETs more satisfying than smoking. The synthetic tobacco flavors out there are really good but seem to be...

    Do any other vapers not inhale vapor into the lungs?

    Being a tobacco-holic (always flavor of; ryo cigs @ work, cigars, pipes on my time, for 35yrs.) Use higher nicotine %s (24-36mgs) as absorption is much less when not induced into the lungs. As a tobacco-holic, I now only vape NETs and using the same tobaccos I used to combust. I get more...

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    Yes, like this! But maybe add extraction %s and final mix % ie 20/80 pg/vg. Maybe even extraction method used? (Not needed) See there I go thinking again! Here comes the trouble....

    Best tobacco for flavor extraction

    I did NOT mean to start anything! I have tried to recall where I read about the different tobaccos within this thread. Even with search. This thread has great info about the different tobaccos. In fact, this thread has helped myself (others) not to waste time, money, tobacco, ect. I have found...
