Do you think its possible to make your own extract with such a taste like the professinal net vendors do ?

I don't extract my own (yet) but was lucky enough to get some of Boomers cigar extracts a few weeks ago. They are spectacular, as good if not better than store bought. I was and still am vaping this liquid gold I was so graciously gifted. vaping Tatiana chocolate flavored at the moment; Good stuff, nectar of the gods I tell ya.

Thanks. I need more time. I am thinking about quitting my job.

Do you think its possible to make your own extract with such a taste like the professinal net vendors do ? How much time have you invested for learning to make a real good net ? I am asking me if it worth the time to try it. At the moment i dont have read the threads.
Yes, it's possible and not even that difficult. The trick isn't getting them as good, but as clean. Filtration is what separates the pros from the amateurs. My homemade stuff can go toe to toe in taste. But mine gunk much faster.

Some have and many regulars here have enjoyed the home made NETs by some of the regulars here more than the commercial NETs.

Prelude i liked most of the blacknote, but Clays Virginia i like more. Perhaps i prefer heat extration at all. I find the blacknotes tastes very clean and sweater and the heat extracted from net.com warm with a lot of volume and Clays nets smells more like real cigarette smoke, i think.

Exactly!
Altho' I noticed over the W/E that HoL's 'Virginia Prime' left more gunk on My coils than My Home-Brew Red Virg. .............

The first NET I have tried from the Notebook is Prelude. It's good. It's a bright Virginia but more complex than some other Virginias.

Probably my least favourite excluding Solo (now)...really liked it at first from the notebook, bought a 30ml bottle and for me got kind of sickly with an odd tang, got,around 10ml left that I may now,leave and come back to. Having said all that I could still happily Vape it over non-net tobaccos. But glad you like so far. Adagio and Bravure my current favs.

In some REd Vape Havano Lite tonight, boy it's a good vape. Lots of leafy taste, coats th mouth with dry leaf on exhale, inhale almost medicinal and minty then it turns to tobacco leaf real quick.

I hate it too. I am changing every day on my aspire k1. Do have an idea for very good cleaning of coils. Do have perhaps ever tested an ultrasonic bath ?

You can drop them in white or apple vinegar and add baking soda. Cleans them really good.

The extraction process itself is simple. Only experience will get you a tasty juice. Many juices made from extracts I've received from other members of this thread are as good or even better than store bought NET's.

If your into the cigarette taste get yourself a pouch or two of American Spirit tobacco. My favorites are the black Perique and the light blue Full Bodied. If you can't find the pouches or cans for sale you can get about 120 mls of extract from a pack of the cigarettes themselves. When you realize how much juice you can make for waayyyyy less than store bought juice you'll never look back.

Adagio is interesting. Not as flavorsome as I expected for a habana tobacco, but this might be due to an unreasonable preconceived notion that it ought to taste like a rich Cuban cigar. I suspect adagio might get better with a long steep. The flavor and color of the liquid is tell tale that it might need more time.

I've only now just sampled some of the bravura. That is the red burley one correct ? (Sorry, out of the office and I don't have the box in front of me). Well the red burley liquid which I think is bravura is good but I need more time with it to make up my mind on it. Prelude gave me a better initial impression but the bravura seems more robust.

I have also tried forte. I know it's not everyone's favorite but I like it. A genuine full burley with the lightest of sweetness. Has a good clean cigarette like goodness.

The sweetness in prelude and bravura remind me of the sweetness in Patriot. Could there be a sneaky drop of ethyl maltol in some of these liquids?

I tend to agree with Jonny. The NET.com NETs are more raw and Earthy, less sweet and more realistic. Black Note is NETs in 3D. I still like them very much nevertheless.

Excellent post Anthony.

Steeping the Adagio that's well worth a try.

Prelude initial impressions yes mine were wow, but over time as I said....

Ethyl Maltol added...perhaps...though I am sure Black Note say pg/vg and tobacco extract only...

As I worked through the notebook and my 30 ml bottles of bravura, legato & prelude a few minor criticisms sprung to mind...

A. The flavours are not quite distinctive enough...excluding prelude which I could tell in a reckon blind test, I would not be sure about the others..

B. The flavours could do with being 50% stronger...again excluding Prelude

C. The flavours do not stand up to alcohol well enough, as the evening progressed I found they diminished, again excluding Prelude. But let's be fair on this one - I chain vape when drinking, I drink really hoppy IPA's or full on Malbec and Syrahs. This point probably applies to most if not all juices I have Vaped and likely I only mention it as discussing here has shone a light on the matter in my mind.

Having said all that they are superb subtle yet complex juices. So good in fact I have just placed another order for the
Adagio & bravura. I may well steep,the Adagio.

My n-e-t.com order has despatched :banana:

One last thought Black Note are cold extracted, many of Clays juices are heat extracted, could explain the earthy / raw of net.com and the 3D of Black note...
