Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

[Jerms]

If i were to try HHV which juice would you recommend that is close to Gej's Analog? It is by far the best juice i have ever tried, but hopefully i can find something that doesn't burn so quickly. Might i ask how a dripper would improve the experience?

Drippers are easier to take care of the coil than clearos for dry burning and/or changing wicks. Having to dry burn once a day instead of every few days isn't so bad if you have a device that makes that quick and easy. You also won't be constantly cooking the juice which changes it's flavor, as you mentioned the juice going from golden to muddy brown. Plus, dripping just provided the best possible flavor, in my experience. Nothing wrong with using clearos with NETs, several here do, but there's not much you can do about the performance issues other than accepting them.

Nothing at HHV will be similar to GeJ's Analog. Totally different style and flavor of juice. HHV is the patisserie of NET vendors (line stolen from Bill) with sweeter, dessert tobaccos while GeJ is more authentic tobacco. The most cig/straight tobacco leaning offerings from HHV though would be Huntsman, Dark Horse, and Gaia.

I don't have much experience with GeJ Analog, but I remember it being "malty" in feel and taste. I don't think you'll find a HHV that's similar, as their NETs are more desserty or dry hay-y. If you're looking for a similar sweetish malty tobacco style to Analog, the ones I remember being similar are one from W2V (spacing on the name) and Tasty Vapor Tobacco, which had a little more tobacco impact than the others. There are others out there that are similar in style, but I just can't remember their names right now.

In honor of their first birthday, Nirvana Vapor (home of True Leaf NETs) is having a two-day, 40% off sale (coupon code: "HappybdayNV").

I don't recall being overly impressed right out of the mail with their 4 NETs I ordered awhile back, but I'll be revisiting them this weekend to see if any are worthy of reordering. They were a little thick and syrupy and seemed to be made for sub-ohm dripping, which I don't do. If I recall, the one flavor I did kind of like was Amber (a Turkish blend).

Unfortunately the code is only for the name brand line, not True Leaf.

Hey Luce, watchya vaping on heavy these days?

Whah?!? Lame! Where'd you see that?

 

[luceblueboy]

Tried the code to see if it would work on True Leaf. It wouldn't let me. Then tried with the other line and it worked.

As for vaping heavy, it's been slim plickins lately. With a 2 week old baby my wife has been much more annoyed with my vaping. I do have a room I can vape in or go outside. Spending any money on vaping is driving her crazy. Pretty much been DIY. I'm making a rhubarb custard/crumble along with a clone of Must Vape "Pencil" followed by anise liquid Numb Ejuice. NETs have taken a backseat as I've grown pretty tired of the ones I've had and can't get anymore at the moment.

Congrats on the baby.

Rhubarb custard/crumble............... nice!

My bad, dude. That email was misleading. They really need to specify that.

Thank you for starting like, the best vape thread ever, btw. It's an honor, sir.

Well, the news is that the Office of Budget and Management has put the kibosh on the FDA's plan to ban all sales of e-liquid via the internet. They also did in plans on telling the cigar industry what constitutes a premium cigar. This sounds like common sense from the Government, so I'm taking the news with a grain of salt.

^^^^^ With a blow tip ^^^^^^

It is the only thing that will keep an HAF case with 4 video cards and even more extra fans for everything clean.

Thing is a freaking blackhole for every dust particle in a 5 mile radius.

You make the fans 'whine'? LOL

Good news. I've had faith for a while now that I don't need to worry about the fate of vaping and getting supplies. Not that I underestimate the threat of ridiculous regulation. I just believe the FDA and other regulatory groups severely underestimate the extent of the backlash they will receive by trying to crush such a significant thing as vaping. They expected us to take it up the rear and say "thank you, may I have another"........ nope, not even close.

We've had the truth on our side, so they brought lies to the table, which should work because they're so much bigger than us and expert bullies. But the army we have representing the truth has turned out to be quite the impressive force, and I'm eternally grateful for their continued work.

The White House has significantly modified proposed Food and Drug Administration (FDA) tobacco regulations, so that the online sale of e-cigarettes is not restricted, Reuters reported Wednesday.

Charged with analyzing the economic implications of policy, the White House’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) looked in detail at the FDA draft, which had included a prohibition of non-face-to-face sales, in effect banning online sales.

OMB changed the language, so that the ban applies only to vending machines. Due to lobbying from the cigar industry, OMB also addressed cigars, modifying the existing two-part rule which separates regulated from unregulated into a two-option rule, which exempts premium cigars.

I purchased several flavors from Ethervapes. These are my thoughts. Now, I am not nearly as experienced as most here with NETs and I can't describe all the little nuances, but my thoughts.

Posted reviews on the web site, similar to these. Simple, but to the point:

Top Leaf

The most like a cigarette flavorI have ever had, and I have not had a cigarette in over 1 1/2 years. I don't miss the nastyness of a cigarette, but this has a great feel, throat hit, smokeyness that hits the spot when the mood strikes. The vanilla is mild, not in your face. I think it helps round out the stronger tobacco. Good job!

Gold Leaf

Nice, light tobacco with no frills. Perfect! Not too smokey, not sweet, not complex. Just right for when I just want a simple straight tobacco flavor.

Eclipse

Excellent! I have been looking for good black cavendish and this hits the spot. Not too heavy but very flavorful. Highly recommend.

Vanilla Skye

Oh my, NET heaven! I love this juice! A nice smooth, creamy tobacco. The vanilla is very there, but not overdone. It is sweeter than some of the other NETs Vash makes, but a very pleasant sweetness. IMHO, NET excellence!

Nomad

The description of "nutty" put me off but Vash kindly included a small sample in my order. Thank you Vash! A simple, slightly sweet Turkish blend that really hits the spot. I don't get "nutty", but I do get "toasted". Quite a pleasant surprise and I see a bigger bottle in my future....

I am optimistic that the proposed regulations will be pared down. After watching the senate hearing on the issue a while back, the FDA guy seemed like a reasonable guy overall. I am hoping that after studying the issue more, as he said he will, he would veer more to our side. The CDC guy however, came across as a total zealot with a preset agenda. I am doubtful that any new studies will change his mind, since he struck me as a type of guy who will twist any evidence to his predetermined point of view.

Hopeful, and doing my small part !!

For whatever reason, EtherVape's Burley Blend (pre-release name, I forget the current name, the triple-burley blend) is really kickin' it for me right now. Kind of strange since straight burley NETs usually don't do much for me, but it's clicking very well now. Slightly sweet and nutty, a little toasty. Maybe straight burley has a future with me. Going to dig into John's Danish Burley next, which I found very impressive when first dipping into. Going to stick with this Ether burley for a bit though while the going's good.

In other news, I received some cellu-cotton today from the goodness of Evil. I just rewicked my 8 regular rotation drippers a couple days with KGD, so it'll be a few days before I try the CC, but looking forward to it.

It is actually very quiet the fans ramp with temps. I have no need to overclock, with the hardware even the most demanding games do not stress the system. I can make the fans whine with overclocking the CPU and GPUs but I see no noticeable gain in performance so do not see the point in adding un-necessary heat to the mix.
Core i7 Extreme 24 gigs of ram, 690x2, two cards that are SLI on one card=Quad SLI I was thinking about buying Titans for it but vaping has taken over my video game addictions. I did have a 580 in it for a bit for dedicated Phys-X but it runs things perfect with or without it.
At this point it is just a really fancy machine that runs 4 monitors and gets used for forums, email and to run e-juice-me-up

It's called Pure Burley now and really works for me too. I always found straight burleys a little flat and one-dimensional, but this one has some depth and great flavor. It and Eclipse (black cav) are definite reorders for me from EV.
