Ranting, riffing, whatever you call it, when you don't like something you really have a way with expressing it. Not a complaint on my part, I often find it quite funny.

Yeah, ok.. I guess that's one way of putting it. :glare:

:D

Exactly haha. Nick could use a person to act as a marketing filter to weed out the questionable ideas. But.. still doesn't matter to me, as for my needs GeJ's product makes any other concerns minor.

I agree with you completely, I love GeJ. GeJ was my introduction to the wonderful world of NETs. I'll always have a bottle of Organic #1 on hand.

While I have no problem getting flavor from PDST, I do, more times than not, have problems "getting" the flavor (if you catch my drift).


Catching the flavour drift is half the fun, wouldn't you say?! .. Puff puff.. what the hell was that?! Could it be...? Was it...? Nah, surely not...!!

GeJ was my first too, ONLY BECAUSE MVJ did not ship to Canada. Ofcourse, both vendors were highly recommended by the lovely folks on here..

I still remember eyeing my bottle of Patriot with trepidation, Natural Perique brought out the funk in me and Vita Bella.. well let's just leave it at Patriot and NP, shall we?! :D

Damn. And I just ordered from them a couple weeks ago, so I am out.

Marketing says a lot to me and influences my view of the product. The picture of Capone offends me. Lazy and ill advised choice. That guy was a murderous scumbag with few, if any, redeemable qualities...and this is coming from an Italian. No thanks.

I am nonetheless very curious to see someone review this!

Hey BJ, I didn't know you were Italian. Which part of Italy did your family originate from? Mine all came from a seaside mountainous region of Calabria, called Palmi.

Whenever I pick it up, Pirate's is loaded with flavor and it is wonderful.. every time. You guys just have a broken ummm.. cerebellum or something. Maybe Cherry will vape some and tell us who's opinion is right ;) :laugh:

So, is the difference primarily between vaping at 12 watts vs 26 watts?

Could the RBFS stuff actually shine more at higher heat settings?!

No idea, I pretty much am always vaping around 16 watts (1 ohm, 28ga Kanthal micro coil, on a mech). That's about the same output as around 12 watts if using 30ga Kanthal or 9-10 watts if using 32ga Kanthal (just a guestimate on my part).

Calling it "The Godfather" and putting a Capone picture with it bothered me too... Then I remembered they have named other products things like "Banana Montana" and "Pop that Cherry!" The Godfather may actually be a step forward! :laugh:

And no one will be shocked to discover that those 2 liquids, as well as Grasshopper, have all been pulled off the site as well as the sub category of "Flavor-Infused NETs."

Really? I was actually kind of looking forward to trying Grasshopper. The banana and cherry ones I wasn't go to try anytime soon though because of the reports on them. I still need to try Analog (and Organic and Acadian).

It was actually pretty good. The mint was a bit too strong for my taste, but it used a really good chocolate -- and we all know how hard it is to find a good chocolate vape -- but if the mint was toned down a tad, it would have allowed for a heartier tobacco flavor to come through.

Just last week I revisited Apple Cured, and Grasshopper. Apple Cured was much better this time out with ,9 ohms micro-coil and cotton then my previous sampling (more apple and less apple juice). Grasshopper was a nice dessert vape. In the future, I'll recommend GeJ's Chocolate Mint eliquid over something like Halo's Shamrock, since the chocolate was more creamy chocolate and less dry cocoa.

Didjya know that W2V's Coffee-Infused Cigar is also a flavor cigar made by Drew Estate? Quite different than DE's ACID line though, it's allowed to hang out in the regular humidor with other cigars in a tobacco shop instead of having to have a separate humidor like the ACIDs.

The cigar is called Tabak Especial, and it has notes of espresso and cocoa. It was my favorite Drew Estate cigar that I smoked, but I prefer the ACID extraction when vaped. I enjoyed W2V's Coffee-Infused, but not as much as the actual cigar. With the ACIDs; whether smoked or vaped it's nearly the same experience.



Absolutely I knew because you were the one who informed me of most of the W2V extractions when I first started interacting on this thread. :) you are a brilliant source of information for cigar Vapes and in particular, Drew Estate extractions, Jerms :)

I have smoked some Drews in my time and I agree with you. Kuba kuba in its vaping form, particularly W2Vs rendition is strikingly close. Sweet botanicals lend well to extractions.

I'll keep trying, but it hasn't hit the spot all the time on my palate. But that's not saying anything about anything except my palate which is all that matters. But, then again, all that matters is your palate!

Oh, and I've also realized that straight Perique and straight Latakia, even when done well, is just not something I want to vape. Check the PIF thread soon. But I will also say that if I ever do want to vape straight Perique, it would be from RBFS -- though I am 99% certain that my days of Latakia admiration are over. I don't mind it in a blend (Paris or Porch Rocker) as long as it isn't taking over, but too much in the vape just doesn't agree with me.

If I remember right you do 12 watts with 30ga Kanthal? That should be about the same heat as my 28ga at 16 watts. Except of course.. 28ga gives better flavor than 30ga :D

28 or twisted 32 here running around 1.5 ohms.

I don't pour e-luiquid down the drain often. In fact, I've only done it with Mt. Baker. Well, before Trabuco, that is. I hated to do it, but I had to.

I'm not directing this at you, shatner, but I am of the opinion that all "bad e-juice" should be sent to a toxic waste disposal site.

They don't filter medications (or e-juice) out of the public water system, you know.

I don't remember if I mentioned this before, possibly, but I spoke with an RN who said "We need more fluoride in our diets".

:shock:

Yes, because fluoride does good things to our bodies when we ingest it. :facepalm:

I eat toothpaste all the time!

:lol::lol::lol:

j/k, but at least the toothpaste has a medicinal grade of fluoride rather than a phosphate production byproduct version of it added to it.

I drink RO water, and even this filter won't get all of that stuff out. It's simply not designed to, and it's an older model.

Yet, I have no idea where to take my nasty e-juice to in order to dispose of it "responsibly".

I know this didn't resonate with me at first, because I didn't usually flush analog remnants down the drain or pour them down the sink, but it sure makes you wonder what will happen in the long run. Watch, we all become resistant to nicotine entirely.

I mean, at least it would kill the bacteria... right?

...it'd sure make them hyperactive, at the very least. :w00t:

:lol:
