Has anyone tried MVJ's Gurkhas or Gurkhas in general? Looking to get some of her extracts.
Thanks!
I actually haven't tried that one... but I have tried several of the extracts. I think I've posted this before but if not... here it is now. These are some descriptions I gave to Diane for use on her website... I kept is simple as I could so hopefully others less knowledgeable wouldn't get overwhelmed etc... At this time, I was making more conventional compressed coils using 28g wire wrapped on a 1.5-2mm rod... These can likely be vaped at higher power levels with larger coils and bigger gauge wire.
Havana 7 CT Broadleaf
Using an Infinite Magma dripper at 1.7ohms… with 3 weeks of steep time
At the lower power settings of about 15w, the initial inhale into the mouth… it’s a smooth but mild in strength flavored vape with a dark to medium dark robust flavor. During the inhale into the lungs the spicy bite is evident at the back of the throat. At power levels over 15w up to 20w, the flavor strength comes up nicely and a robust flavor starts to really become apparent. The spiciness makes for a really nice set of top notes that linger nicely in the mouth. Obviously makes a nice addition to a cigar blend.
Indonesian Bezuki
Using an Infinite Magma dripper at 1.7ohms… with 3 weeks of steep time
A classic Indonesian flavor that is complex, full and dark in flavor. It includes added flavor notes on the tongue similar to a spice but without the bite in the back of the throat. The power level doesn’t change the taste much but, the fullness and robustness of it does increase. Makes an obvious cigar blend that is rich, dark and luxurious.

Cameroon Seco
Using an Infinite Magma dripper at 1.7ohms… with 3 weeks of steep time
A cigar filler type of flavor with a smooth medium toned that is still full bodied… at lower power settings there is just a hint of a bite on the back of the throat which increases as the power increases… the flavor stayed consistent from 15w up to 20w without adding any other flavor notes to the taste. The fullness is most noticeable on inhale while the cigar flavor qualities show on exhale more.
Broadleaf
Using an Infinite Magma dripper at 1.7ohms… with 3 weeks of steep time
A cigar filler or wrapper type of flavor with a slightly earthy, slightly sweet medium tone that is medium bodied with a hint of bite in the back of the throat. The flavor is consistent at lower 15w to higher 20w power levels but does become richer with the higher levels. The flavor of the vape remains almost the same on both inhale and exhale.
Med CT Broadleaf
Using an Infinite Magma dripper at 1.6ohms… with 3 weeks of steep time
Compared to Broadleaf, this is a little more sweet and much smoother with no sign of bite in the back of the throat. This still has the slight earthiness that you also find in Broadleaf. The flavor remains consistent with the power level only becoming richer as the power increases. Inhale and exhale flavors also remain the same. As with Broadleaf this works well as a filler or wrapper for a cigar but the smoothness would also lend it to some unique pipe or ryo blends to bring them a medium full vape.
1LS Broadleaf
Using an Infinite Magma dripper at 1.6ohms… with 3 weeks of steep time
Compared to Med CT Broadleaf, this vape is earthy and deeper in flavor so it’s more of a medium dark flavor that is richer and fuller that has a natural sweetness to it. There is a slight spicy bite in the back of the throat that increases with the power level with a slight bite at about 15w and a little more pronounced one at around 20w. This lends itself more towards a wrapper cigar flavor.
Organic Canadian Virginia Flue Cured
Using an Infinite Magma dripper at 1.6ohms… with 3 weeks of steep time
A smooth mellow light medium flavored vape which has a natural light sweet taste with a higher medium tone. It’s also has a good body with just barely a hint of a brown grassy note way in the background. I found no hint of bite on the tongue or at the back of the throat. As I increased the power from 15w up to 20w… the overall vape just became bolder. Light and complex enough to stand on it’s own but also can be used in about any blend such as cigarettes, pipes and even hookah.

Uncut Burley

A robust medium dark vape that brings with it a slight bite in the back of the throat. There is also a dark haylike floral flavor note that really brings some interest to this juice. Vapes well from 15w to 20w with little change. Works in every situation where a bit of a bassy note is needed in a cigarette, pipe, cigar any other vape.

Using an Infinite Magma dripper at 1.6ohms… with 3 weeks of steep time
A smooth bold medium dark vape with a bit of a chocolate like flavor note to it and a hardly noticeable bite in the back of the throat. The boldness increases with the power from 15w-20w. Often used as a wrapper or grappa leaf for a cigar, I believe it smooth enough for other uses also.

A smooth robust medium dark vape that is wonderfully aged earthy flavor. There is a slight bite at the back of the throat on inhale.

Commonly mixed with a Virginia tobacco in cigarettes to provide a bassy note flavor but works really well in cigars and pipe blends.
