Dagwood's Wife is Trippin' (DWiT) by River Bottom Fog Sauce (RBFS) available online at www.vapingwatch.com

The juice: DWiT is an extract of the Drew Estate ACID Blondie cigar, which is a flavor infused cigar. RBFS hand shreds the cigars to avoid any flavors that mechanical shredding may impart.

The Hardware: Mechanical mod topped by an A6 with 1ohm micro coil of 28ga Kanthal, wicked with Koh Gen Do cotton.

Ratings are from 1-5 depending on where a juice falls in an attributes spectrum. Only the last rating, "overall", is based on 5 being the best. (For sweetness 1 equals very dry and 5 equals very sweet. For tobacco impact 1 equals very mild tobacco and 5 equals very aggressive and/or complex.)

Sweetness: 1.5. I try to rate the sweetness and tobacco impact of NETs objectively, there's still an uncontrolable subjectiveness that's nearly impossible to totally avoid. For this review, I must admit that the subjectivity will be even more present than normal because reactions to ACID extractions seem to be all over the map. Starting here, I bet many people would rate this as sweeter than I am. For me though, while the flavor doesn't feel dry, there's is very little sweetness that I get. There is a light, creamy sweet that I notice during long sessions, but it's very subtle, and overall this vape has a very low level of sweetness to me.

Tobacco Impact: 1.5. Many people would rate the tobacco impact higher than this, but I get extremely little tobacco feel from DWiT or any other Blondie extractions. It's not the juices fault, I didn't get much real tobacco feel from smoking the actual cigar. The Blondie cigar is infused with over 140 different botanicals; various herbs, plants, and essential oils, many being of Asian origin, and the combined flavor of those is what dominates the flavor for me. Describing that flavor is very hard, because it tastes like nothing else. Some people get honey or maple but I don't. The words I would use are herbal, floral, leafy, potpourri, and incense. It's a bombardment of hight, bright, powerful, biting notes; and it's wonderful.

Vapability: 2. I've had Blondie extractions from a couple other companies, and like this one it's not a flavor I grab for often. I rarely crave this experience, but when I do it's amazing on so many levels. I will occasionally grab it for a short session to mix things up, but this NET really needs a LONG vaping session to fully appreciate. The bite it has backs off after a while, resulting in a more smoothed out flavor that just buzzes with different flavor experiences. The best part, the flavor of a Blondie NET never fades or becomes muted, no matter how long it's vaped for it stays as one of the most flavorful vapes out there.

Flavor Accuracy: 5. Like all Blondie extractions on the market, DWiT very closely replicates the flavor of the cigar. Just a spot on match. DWiT however brings a whole new level of clarity to the flavor. While other Blondie NETs are closer to the smoking experience, DWiT brings a brightness and clarity that the vape has but the cigar doesn't.

Overall: 4.5 Drew Estate's ACID Blondie is such an iconic cigar. Two other vendors have extracted it, Want2Vape with The Blond and NETcom with H+ Yellow-Mane. Because of that, I was put off seeing RBFS release another and very skeptical it would be any different. My first reaction was.. we don't need another Blondie, especially since it costs more than what's available! Well.. I was wrong, we did need another because this one is better, which surprised the hell out of me. A Blondie NET is an out-of-this-world, totally unique vape experience, and if you want to try the best version get DWiT. Many will hate it, it's not universal flavor. It's very odd. But it's a must-try if your looking for something completely different that you just may end up loving.

I would like to add.. OK WE'RE DONE, NO MORE BLONDIE! Blondie is the iconic ACID and it's amazing, but the line has so many other fascinating infused cigars I would love to see extracted. (Kuba Kuba has been done twice.. once was more than enough to me lol, so not Kuba either).
