That is a good idea. I might have to order some nic.
I went from smoking a pack to a pack and a half for about 23 years to smoking none 8 months ago when I started vaping. Have worked my way to 3mg nic, and don't want to go back up.
I usually order 6mg and 0mg of stuff like if 3 is not offered, but may buy some nic like you suggest and order mov in 0mg

Yeah, it'll be a lot cheaper to just buy the nic -- and then you'll have the nic! Nic is a good thing, even when weaning.

MOV has some great flavors. They're local for me too. Rangler had been my ADV for past few months and helped with cravings. Great cigarettte-ish type of e liquid, recently switched ADV's when I dropped down to 6MG cause previously it had only came in 18,9,3,0. I see now they've got it in 6MG so can't wait to revisit it. As for their new Creme line Omerta is quite tasty for a strawberry creme like candy taste its almost like those LifeSavers. Also had Gotti, gave it to a family member who liked it better. Its a good Vanilla vape though.

I'm a huge MOV fan. I've tried almost every one of their flavors.

Currently their Americano is my ADV. I like to rotate that with Oakwood when I want tobacco, and Water Malone when I don't. I'm also enjoying their Corleone chocolate custard - it's so creamy and smooth

Their customer service and commitment to safety is top notch.

Water Malone is fantastic stuff. It's my wife's ADV. It's weird though, all juices I've tried with honeydew flavor in them I get an earthy kinda taste out of where honeydew belongs. And, I'm super sensitive to cantaloupe flavors. It's a shame, I love melons. (I wish I had better word choice here, but my brain is failing me at this late hour)

So I got my three yesterday, here are my short and to the point thoughts on 2 out of the three (I still need to try the White Leaf).

The Legendary is good but not my cup of tea, it's spot on with their description: "a luscious hazelnut flavor that is blended with a silky chocolate undertone and finishes with a creamy banana nut exhale that is sure to seal the deal. Hints of Vanilla and Caramel can be found through out." The only thing I would say is I don't get hazelnut, I get more of a Cavendish Tobacco with the chocolate, banana, vanilla, and caramel. I like this but I got some of The Plume Room Candied Cavendish last week, and while that's a very similar juice, I like it much, much better. So I'm going to let this one steep a while and then revisit.

Same with Water Malone, spot on with their description: "All natural Honey Dew Melon splashes against juicy Watermelon." I get more Watermelon than Honey Dew but regardless, it's really, really good, not too sweet, just right.

Glad to hear you didn't get too much hazelnut in the Legendary. It was the only thing holding me back from ordering, that is until you mentioned a resemblance to TPR Candied Cavendish which i didn't like much. Must say i am a little confused now !

Do you know what the vg level is is n Watermalone ? Mot interested in that one per se but a couple of different ones in their high vg line. 70 % i can handle, above that not so much.

Sorry Mazinny, I'm beginning to confuse myself, lol. I mentioned the Plume Room Candied Cavendish because it has the same banana notes in it, but that's about the only resemblance. The VG level in the Water Malone is something I'm not sure of, it only states at least 70% on their site, maybe they would answer that question for you? I do know that it's not very thick, like most other high VG juices are.

Mann what is going on brother! Hope all is well. Anyways, yeah I gave MOV a try and had pretty disappointing results. I placed an order about 2-3 months ago for the Virginia Flake RY4, Sunday Morning, and Blue Ridge. First two were NETs. The attention that they had received in the Nat. Tobacco thread had me pretty excited.

On to the juices....the NET's had a very foul smell right off the bat. The RY4 had this almost robotussin like smell to it. That is the best way I can explain it. Very strange and very foul. The Sunday Morning had quite the funk too. Reminded me of how an old dip spit cup smells. Very gross. Blue ridge wasn't bad though. I let the NETs steep for a good month before giving them a try. They were still awful. The smell and taste. Like so bad I had to clean out my atty to get the funk out. Blue ridge was decent but the blueberry just tasted off. Not bad but not like a few other blueberry flavors I have tried. Would not re-order it.

I really wanted to like MOV NETs. I'm still letting them steep with the hopes that something gets better but I checked them out on Sunday and they still have quite a funky smell. I might give them a try in the dripper sometime this week for final confirmation. They are approaching a 3 month steep time at this point.

MOV NETs are not for everyone. It's love or hate. Very similar to the old Ahlusion aromatic line ( even the smell you are describing ). I happen to be in the love camp, but even in the NET thread there were those who found them too gruff. I didn't like a couple of their synthetics too much though ( i forget which ones i tried, it was a long time ago ).

Yeah this is what I'm starting to learn about various NET vendors. Tastes are very subjective! I've gradually been working my way through the NET list in the megathread and trying different vendors. Unfortunately I was late to the game with AHL aros and never got a chance to try them.

Don't worry, very likely you wouldn't have liked Ahl aros either !

Hey, JRC.

If you had those results with MOV, for the love of God, don't try their Apache. LOL. I used to love that one, but I don't really do NETs anymore -- too much hassle and and now not enough reward for me. Things change for us, you know?

For me, I used to just about appreciate all the NETs I tried, so know that it shouldn't have to be a struggle to find something satisfying, and if it is, it may be trying to tell you something. I never thought I would be a fruit and dessert vaper, but that itch is easily scratched -- either by DIYing or by premades.

p.s. What NET vendor did you have the best luck from?

I really hope i don't start to lose my affinity for NETs. I have 2.5 liters of NEts in my steep box !

The NET vendors that I've had big success with are Good Ejuice, Heather's Heavenly Vapes, and Nicoticket. I plan on giving Ether Vapes and NET.com a try very soon too.

Good Ejuice absolutely blew me away with their Patriot. Spot on and one of the best straight tobaccos that I have tried. I also tried their GJ4 but I prefer the Patriot. I love RY4s but I have yet to stumble upon an NET RY4 that I enjoy as much as some of the synthetic RY4s I vape.

I really love all of Nicoticket's NET blends with Radioactive being my number one right now. Kent really produced a stellar blend when he created Radio. Close second is The Virus. Another superb Nico blend. Also plan on giving Atlanta a try soon....it's a peach NET blend.

As far as HHV goes, I just received some of their juices this last weekend and haven't tried them yet (Heavenly Army, Huntsman, and Shadow). Wanted to give them a week steep before sampling. They smell great though. I really think I'm going to enjoy them.

It's funny you mention the fruit/dessert flavors.....that is what I started vaping and fell in love with. Somewhere along the path for the great e juice search, I fell in love with tobaccos and hardly ever touch fruit/dessert blends now. Like ever.

Most things for me come in waves, so it'll likely come back one day. Right now I don't mind ones like HHV every once in awhile, but I can't do anything that'll mess up my coils.

Patriot is almost universally loved by those who try it ! GeJ entire line-up of NETs is really solid imo. Organic #1, Acadian Gold and Wrangler Light are some of my other faves. Love Huntsman as well.

I should probably give Radioactive and Virus a try. I tried Wakonda and didn't get much tobacco. It's a decent vanilla coffee but a little too sweet for me. Probably the main reason i didn't try their other tobacco's.

I got to try some of their juices last week in another county/local B&M. They did not have the one I really wanted to try but that was OK. I was not over the moon on them. Could have been the tester but who can tell. They have a good size line. I might have to order the one I am after to try it. I was told by owner that the flavor I wanted did not sell so they stopped carrying it.

I highly recommend The Virus and Radioactive. The Virus is.....well I don't really know how to describe it. Has some sweetness to it but the earthy tobacco is tucked away nicely to finish it off. I will say this, when I first tried it I immediately got a strong cinnamon/nutmeg taste. That is all NET. Kent specifically points out that no cinnamon flavor is ever added. That is what blew me away about TV. As for Radio, it is a perfect vanilla tobacco. Absolutely divine. Highly recommend trying it. Oh and one last thing I want to add in regards to The Virus, I initially did not like it. It changed on me. Next thing I know I'm placing an order for multiple 60 ml bottles.

I enjoy Wakonda but in smaller doses. The custard element wears on me and can be too heavy at times. It is a nice treat every now and then but it is not an ADV for me. And I agree about it being coffee dominant. If you like coffee vapes, Wakonda is one of the best.
