MushroomVapes is yet another new NET vendor I just stumbled upon because of a deals-and-steals 30% off sale. Below is a link to their limited selection of 3 NETs (2 cig/RYOs, 1 pipe) in two sizes each (12ml or 30ml bottles). I don't find any info on the site about type of extraction or whether the extracts are made in-house or outsourced. I'd wager a guess that they're in-house, simple-soak macerations.

Where'd you find this?! I didn't get any notifications etc for a Sale. Last email from MOV was Aug. 08 regarding the FDA stuff. :confused:
Don't remember. Either the deals thread here or one of the deal sites, or from their newsletter.

Anyone take advantage of any Labor Day sales this holiday weekend? I saw several NET vendors like Ahl, MVJ, MOV, and NETcom had deals going on. All I jumped on was 30ml of SmokelessImage RY4 that was under $10 shippes, and that P.O.E.T juice. I considered the "NET" sample pack from Indigo and a few from MOV, but I have enough on hand.

Took advantage of EV's 15% off plus free shipping. I really like their NET's and ordered more Midnite Lite and Nomad. Plus, bought 12 mil of St Stevens and got a free sample of Pure Burley. Shipped this morning. Wish I would have seen the MVJ sale, been wanting to try them.

I decided go pick some up too, had PenD and Outlaw loaded in the cart. As I was attempting to check out, it froze up, so I hit refresh and it said the coupon was no longed valid. Oh well, wasn't meant to be.

Unfortunate. or maybe not depending on your inventory. Anyway, i decided on the three pack. Not a bad deal. In addition to Southern Gentleman and Americano, i decided to try Sunday Morning for the first time.

Thanks again for the heads up.

Even without a sale, their extracts are excellent value. $ 12 for 17 ml of extract. They may not be as concentrated as Net.com, but just compare prices and you will see the value.

It is one of them I really want to try but not as well read about the different types of cigar/pipe tobacco products offered. I get kinda overwhelmed at times reading the product info on them all. Will try it soon enough though. Not sure about buying extracts as I never DYI'd yet. Maybe in the future, for now, will stick with the ready made stuff. However, I plan on one day trying to extract some on my own just to see if I can. That would be just in case the government does something stupid. I'd like to know I can if needed. That's somewhere in the future, just not yet. Probably when I tried enough to know what I like.

Dont mix myself, so like the deal of $14 for 32ml, without a sale ;) Buying just 2 nets you free shipping.

I haven't really DIY'd either. I just bought some pg/vg and nicotine a few weeks ago. A little simple math and pouring some pg,vg and nicotine in a bottle is not what i consider DIY to be honest. I really bought them so that i can dilute some of the juices i have with too much flavoring for my taste like Nicoticket for example. But when i saw i could get the MVJ juices a lot cheaper and stronger when i mix it myself, i ordered the extracts. I was reading a lot of posts that their juices are great, just a little mild on the tobacco impact, so i figured i can now chose the tobacco impact.

Hey guys, I see a lot of mention for the Magma's which appear to have a consensus as being one of the best drippers on the market at the moment.

I am considering getting, what appears to be a very good clone of a Magma V2 from Vapeking.com.au. They come in stainless steel, copper and brass.

Could I ask, are you guys using clones or the original in your reviews and assessments, and is there any information on whether the clones are performing as well?

As I am seeking a dripper to get the most flavour out of my recent RBFS, GEJ and MVJ I believe the Magma might be a good choice from what I have read on this thread recently.

Also, is there any practical difference in flavor or performance between stainless steel, copper and brass?

Anthony, Vapeking.com.au carries the Infinite clone, which is one of the better ones out there. I have the HCigar ones and they are also just as good. Personal preference, I don't use Copper or Brass for anything that comes in contact with E-juice, so all 3 of mine are in SS.

I picked up my first one locally, and paid pretty much what Vapeking is charging. My other two came from Fasttech for half the price. These ones: $15.79 Magma Style Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - 1:1 clone / stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

So, here's the NETCom sale that I just mentioned a second ago: :rickroll:

My guess is that this release includes NETCOM's three new Euro cigarettes. They are pretty damn good too. "Poilu" is the PARIS some of you freaks have been waiting for, Clay's take on Gauloises. My take is same flavor profile as Paris, around 70% of the flavor impact with 50% of the gunk. Yep, perhaps some prayers have been answered. He should also be releasing two takes on Gitanes...Gypsy - Brunes which is a take on pre-1930's Gitanes, and Gypsy - Blonde which is a take on the modern era Gitanes with more Virginia.

I have it on a good source that other new releases will include NETCOM's version of RY4, a Virginia/Perique pipe blend, a coffee tobacco blend, a Caramel Brownie tobacco, a new "smoked" leaf of some sort, and an orange blossom tobacco that I am pretty interested to try.

All the new releases will launch at 30% off this week.

I decided not to partake in all the fantastic Labor Day sales and instead filled a tank with Borescoped’s BA Mango Vanilla from NETcom. It has been a while since I have had this so was anxious to see if I still liked it plus I really like mangos. My feelings have not changed. I definitely get the mango flavor upfront and for me it is not too sweet. The pipe tobacco appears to be a blend. I am not good at distinguishing the difference tobaccos but I would say some Virginia plus something else. I haven’t tasted the vanilla as a separate flavor which is good for my taste and rather it is a faint mellow vanilla to round out the blend. This is not a goopy sweet liquid. Perfectly balanced blend that is an ADV for me other than in the morning with my coffee. If there is a Boroscoped, thanks for submitting this idea to Clay. Can’t wait for Clay to open his website to see what the new releases are.

P.S. I just saw Big Juicy’s review on some of the new NETs — definitely the coffee tobacco blend to go with my morning coffee plus several others — good thing I didn’t partake in the Labor Day sales :)

I liked BA ManVan a lot too, gave it a 4.5. The tobaccos are air cured burley and Virginia. Yep, there's a Borescoped; he's the one who requested that Clay extract that pipe tobacco. Here's my review of BA from last year. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=475805

I also keep BA in stock at all times and ususally by the 60 ml because, well, people love it. I have PIF'd that juice to at least 10 people and every single one has thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thanks jerms for sharing your awesome review. Uh-huh…..air cured burley no wonder I like this blend. Everything in this liquid is just perfect for me. For a straight synthetic mango liquid I really like The Mitsu Forever Young and is the only synthetic I vape. Taste just like a fresh ripe mango although some will describe it as “candy-like” but for me it is not (grew up in Hawaii where mangos were plentiful, pick one off the tree, peel and eat).

Anthony, last last week I received my Magma from Fasttech. The one Dusty linked. SS the flavor this thing puts out is fantastic and it is easy to build on. Deep wells to hold juice so you don't have to keep dripping every few puffs. I love mine! Just works for me.

Any of you folks using these on VAMOs or something equivalent in output?

As I understand it, dual coils on a 5A max draw device like the VAMO splits the output between the coils.

I'm trying to get the Plume Veil to perform adequately on this thing, but it's pop and fizzle until most of the juice is gone (even barely saturating the wick, trying different numbers of wraps, micros, and loosely, ect.) unfortunately.

I'm hesitant to purchase anything else besides another KFL clone with the experience I've had so far. KGD just wicks too darn fast for whatever I'm doing to supply enough heat.

Thoughts? Do I need to make massive lower gauge coils to get decent performance? I can deal with having to add more liquid, I just want to be able to use what I've already put in there. Same concern goes for the Magma. If and when I get a DNA mod, it's going to be a genuine one with a genuine DNA circuit board. I've heard too many stories about faulty circuit boards in clones causing batteries to vent, ect.

As it stands, I have two pretty useless Plume Veils. I could probably try ReadyXwick, though.... that might actually work, being that it has a hollow core.

Now I'm curious as to whether triple-twisting is going to require the same draw on the battery as a lower gauge wire. If it's higher, I might as well just get some lower gauge kanthal. However, if it's treating the 3 pieces as one coil, I should have no problems.

I do know it takes a heck of a lot longer for a triple-twisted 32AWG wire to heat up compared to a single piece, but it also cools down much slower. This works fine for ReadyXwick, because it doesn't really mind the heat. I'm concerned about what might happen to cotton, though....

Tanks, as long as the wick is just right, perform well for me. However, no matter how I tried to wick the KFL clone; big or small coils, the KGD just pulled so much juice that it would flood the coil and airhole. I even tried a V-coil and loosely laid some KGD around that. Slight improvement, except the added bonus of burnt cotton flavor (Even though it was less densely packed and just kinda sitting there). The delrin drip-tip that cracked the edge of where the factory drip-tip (made of MAPP) goes apparently also caused a split going into the entire top cap, so I won't really be experimenting with KFLs again until I order another or something similar.

All that being said, it's possible the Magma is easily going to oust the Plume Veil, despite there being something like 10-12 ways for air to enter the Plume Veil (2 on cap above the delrin; one on either side of the base below the coils; 3 holes aligning with those on either side, and two holes for either double or single coil depending on which you have blocked off/open) with a total of 4 posts and a rotating center post. I accidentally turned the darn thing when I was trying to screw in a lead and though to myself, "Well, that's interesting."

Are most of you using mechanicals with the Magma? I am just a tad bit nervous about mech mods. :tumble:
