Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

[checkum]

I recently received an order from MVJ which included the newer additions to Diane's natural extracted tobaccos she was kind enough to extract.
I'll let you check them out for your selves, as everyone has their own preferences and I do not wish to push my tastes on to anyone else. I get my extracts with 100% VG and a extra shot of flavor/extract, as I am very allergic to PG (I start coughing and sometimes develop a rash.) I use a dripper to try out my purchases, but like my taste, your impression may vary with what you use.
As you will see, after looking them up, I like straight tobacco taste for the majority of the time, but need to "rest" my taste buds every so often with something sweet.. The following are examples of what helped me stay off the analogs
The mixes I purchased are:

Special Mix #8 [very good]
Charlemagne [excellent]
Nightcap [very good]
Seattle Plum Pudding [very good]
Magnum Opus [excellent]
Club-Great Hiatus [very good]
Snow drift [excellent]
Owls Head [very good]
Seattle Evening [very good] and finally
Gaslight [very good]

I would not hesitate to reorder any of these and I hope you will enjoy any you may order also.

please let us know how these worked out for you, as everyone depends on great thread for advice that could work for them!
IMHO I think you picked some winners.

Received 5 bottles of GeJ yesterday: GJ4, Vita Bella, House Blend, Congo Craze and Wild Turkey. Vaped Wild Turkey all day long. For me this juice is at least at the same level as Patriot, different but just outstanding. I'll let it age now for at least a month, the potential seems phenomenal.
Found a review of the juice on internet written by a famous NET specialist. Describe it far better than I could ever do. Can't agree more.

"I had kind of put this one on the back burner because I'm not nuts about alcohol infused tobacco. I'm low on juice I haven't reviewed yet, so I grabbed this one from The Juice Cellar this morning, and was pleasantly surprised to read the product description. Apparently this juice is not a bourbon flavored tobacco vape, but an Oriental tobacco extract. At least the product description would have me believe that. Excellent.

Tobacco is tobacco. The different types we smoke are not individual species, but merely cultivars of the same plant. Crazy huh? Virginia, Carolina, Burley, Oriental, all wildly different due to nothing more than climate and chemical composition of the soil they grow in. Perique, Cavendish, Kentucky and Latakia don't count because with all four there is a process involved.

Most cigarettes are a mix of Burley and Virginia tobacco, but if you're a Camel fan then you've been smoking Oriental. I find the flavor of Oriental to be dry and less sweet, and depending on the tobacco it can also have wonderful sour and/or bitter notes. It's naturally low in sugar and nicotine. On its own I find it a little dull, but mix it with some Virginia and Latakia and you have pure nirvana.

Nick makes a great tobacco extract, and today we're vaping his Goodejuice Wild Turkey Tobacco. I will be vaping this 18mg 50/50 blend at 3.7v on my Silver Bullet with a 1.5 ohm Joye 306.

The nose of this juice is dry and somewhat powdery.

The flavor on inhale is faintly, very subtly sweet. This juice from the first impression gives a phenomenal tobacco presentation. It gets to the throat hit so fast that there isn't much time to think about how it tastes. This is tobacco in the earthy, hay-like tobacco extract way, but done really, really well. Also worth mentioning is that while I use the hay description that is common to a lot of natural extracts, this one tastes nothing like any of them. This tobacco tastes like a blazing hot day in the sun. Throat hit is spectacular for a natural extract. About as good as you could hope for in an eliquid without quite making it to Halo territory.

The flavor on exhale is about the closest to tobacco without having any kind of smoke element that I've ever vaped. I have to give it to Nick on this one. I would absolutely put my label on this juice. It's excellent. Vapor production is above average, owing to the 50/50 ratio.

Well this juice surprised me and just knocked my socks off. I think people with short attention spans who don't bother to read product descriptions might order this thinking it's a bourbon tobacco and be disappointed. They'll be missing the point altogether. This is one of the very finest tobacco vapes in all of vaping, and it increases the already high esteem I hold for Nick. Great job buddy, this is a top notch tobacco vape. Just superb. Do yourself a favor and get some of this, put on a fresh atty, and see what someone who really cares about their juice can do for your tobacco vape. Outstanding."

Thanks Influence
I didn't even know about the Lab juices til the other day. I'll try the Wild Turkey (anything like Patriot will steal my heart.)

This a Vapenstein review i believe. Wild Turkey is really good. Probably my favorite Turkish blend. Besides Vita Bella, Godfather and Analog, i don't think thre is a GeJ juice that i didn't like, and i've tried most of their NETs.

I still have a bottle or two of Wild Turkey left and i will be getting to it asap. Thanks for the reminder. The problem with having too much juice is that it will sometimes be months until you get back to it again. I have some N.E.T., and MVJ from august that i haven't even tried yet.

I just broke out the extract of the 965 i did last week. Real good stuff. Give it a few weeks to steep and the nuances are delectable.

Diane's Obsidian will be a sure fire winner for fans of dark latakias. It isn't as close to burnt tire as Boomer's version, but the latakia is very dark wood smoke and a nice creamy Virginia for the most part. Another masterpiece from Diane.

Field Master is also another great english blend. The heavy latakia has a generous virgina note keeping it buttery smooth and sweet with orientals keeping things slightly bright on the top end. The orientals aren't really a huge part of the blend though. They are just gentle modifiers.

I'll go along with that. Obsidian was grate out of the box and has gotten better with age for me. Field master is also a favorite of mine from MVJ. They are both hard to put down for folks that like a pure tobacco flavor!

Yep I like quite a lot his reviews.
Same feeling than you for the Godfather.
Not a fan of vanillas or caramel juices but like Vita Bella because of the earthy cigarette tobacco which is really present and dominant, the vanilla brings a sweetness note to the juice. Found GJ4 quite similar, but more "creamy" and less (pipe) tobacco, definitely needs a good steeping time. Both not an ADV for me but nice to vape occasionally. Will also order the Lab next time, like Full Throttle and High Octane.
Tried a lot of their liquids, Goodejuice never disappointed me (except Godfather). I've made now around 40 different NET's extractions. Not even one as good compares to them...

I think that Great Hiatus will be a winner; won't be for everyone (case in point: I didn't care for Dunhill's Early Morning Pipe Tobacco, but ordered a while back before the extraction process was changed- I however, like the same tobaccos in different blends) and was one of the limited stock items when I could find it (or was just backordered; Can't recall which)

My plans are moving more towards some fierce blends; a little variety; maybe some va/per; and definitely go light on the sweet Virginia (no offense to tobacco or Virginians intended; I just enjoy all the other types of tobaccos much more) and more towards a spicy combination punch. The Oriental Cav smells amazing in its jar; I'm down-mixing to 8-10mg (or lower) just because my new iPV Mini nicotine-cannon 2 and Lemo Drops are chewing through juice like nobody's business...

...the issue? The nic is from 15-24 currently, and one puff gives me pretty much as much nic as I'll need for a little while at 25w; Downmixin' for the flavor!

But yeah, the Great Hiatus was one I was eyeballing to extract. I'm interested to see how the finished product holds up (I already have a latakia blend brewing- I'd like to diversify) in a juice, but....

well, let's just say that I have a 24" display and could probably scroll a good 48" across before hitting a tab that wasn't related to a pipe tobacco.

I'm losin' it and lovin' it with this hobby.



Edit: I feel I must mention that 28g kanthal, for me, provides terrible flavor in comparison to 32g. Be that as it may, I may very well just twist several lengths of wire (the wire jig just being rediscovered) by hand or drill (I've manually twisted 3 strands of 32awg kanthal in a pinch, it worked, but it's not as consistent as actually using a drill to twist the wire to be "just right."

I have to wonder if they can combine the properties of both (which is why I still want to go with temperature-controlled for flavor and vW/vV oomph- if both of those happen to be combined in the same device, we don't really need to be concerned about portability going down the line) and produce a superior device (even just improved wire for coils would be nice), but I'm pretty happy with the iPV mini || - it's like.... ok, it's what I felt a vv/vw device should be.

I would even chance it to say that the iPV Mini (first version) is a great value- 30w is a pretty nice output- again.... boils down to preference.

Morning
I'm sure you've tried or made your own of Clay's Va/Per and the variaties of that blend.
I seem to remember the the straight Va/Per was the sweetest of the three and I could vape it for a longer time. The other two had the same Va/Per base but with one or two little kicks to them. Definitely darker than the Va/Per by itself.

N-E-T Custom Va/Per Blend
N-E-T Custom Va/Pe/Or Blend
N-E-T Custom Va/Pe/OrS Blend

I honestly haven't had a bad juice from MVJ or NET.com. Some might not be my favs but, none have been off-putting.

 

[NotSoMini]

If anyone is interested, NET.com has a sale starting soon:

Attention to our beloved customers! We are working to launch a Valentine's Day through President's Day Sale along with some NEW PRODUCTS! We hope to have it ready to launch by Midnight tonight, but will start sometime tomorrow for sure and last through Monday, February 16th.

Received yesterday EV with the classic TH liquids.
TH impact makes a real difference in enjoying my juices, really glad to have this opportunity offered.
Bali Nights and Bayou Brew are a complete success.
Lemon Heaven and Strawberry Dreams are delicious.

I spent some time last night vaping Hearth & Home's Signature pipe tobacco from MVJ and found it a great English blend of toasted black Cavendish, Latakia, Virginia and Perique.
If you like the spicy , sweet taste of Perique, balanced with the right amount of Virginia and Cavandish, you may like this English blend also.

It's funny. The longer I vape NET's, the more I find myself moving away from Latakia blends. Instead, I find myself moving more to Perique/Virginia NET's. Don't get me wrong, I still like a good Latakia NET once in a while but really have to be in the mood for it. Unfortunately, that seems to be less and less lately. Which I find kind of odd as when I first started my NET life, it was just the opposite.

Depends on the blend for me. Something like Apache, yeah it's a once in a blue moon vape for me, but Southern Gentleman, Porch Rocker or Bombay, i still enjoy very much.

 

[Dusty_D]

Can't do Latakia much anymore either. I don't mind it in short stints, but not for hours on end. The one exception, Dunhill Early Morning. It's light enough in Latakia that I can vape it for an extended amount of time. Va/Per blends RULE!!
