Finished the Latakia and just busted into the Dagwood's Wife Is Trippin'.

Kinda light, sweet and grassy like the St. James Parish (which I didn't expect) with an added dimension I can't put my finger on...

Jay :headbang:

I'd attribute the added dimension to the Essential Oil (Herbal/Botanical) component of the Cigar, the Connecticut wrapped Blondie is a nice vape but I prefer the Sumatra wrapped Kuba Kuba which also has Essential Oils added.

Well, I just decanted some Dunhill Early Morning and Suttliff Heavy English. Going to mix tomorrow and in a week or so I hope to be vaping them. I love Latakia and I have great expectations from the Heavy English.

Ant, that's the way they taste, but they supposedly claim theirs are pure NETs with no added flavoring. They aren't all sweet juices either, Dark Horse, Gaia and Huntsman are quite dry.

There is no way they are pure NETs. For HHV to make that statement shows how far south their juices have gone. They were the best hybrid NET vendor on the market a few years ago.

Dark horse, Gaia and huntsman while not as sweet as their other hybrid NET offerings, were still fairly sweet compared to pure NETs.

I agree Anthony and would have bet on it, but Luce said no.

I didn't know Mr Mann was a professional artist.

I was aware that Jerms took up drawing portraits and did a really good one of Dusty.

Everyone seems to move on.....while I now manage a vape store (with no NETs for sale) I just keep coming back to tobacco extracts.

As for my favorite liquid outside of NETs, Pluid (my cheap clone cuz cheap!!), it would be "Humuhumunukunukuapua’a" my own DIY creation. I use flavorings from Silver Cloud Estates which include extracted coconut, extracted coconut milk, and imitation ube.

You are the only one I've heard say that... I know I have no problem myself despite the number of juices MVJ carries...

I just visited the site and went looking at over a dozen various tobaccos and flavors and had no trouble viewing them all. jaytex1969 are you in the USA? I ask because that could effect your try,but that is a total guess. Try viewing the site again.

Thought I would drop by with latest net musings.

The lemo drop is a great rta for nets. Space for big coils. I get at least a full tank before needing to rewiCk and dry burn. Doddle to coil and wick, very forgiving in the wicking. Not had mine leak or a dry hit.

Just fall more and more in love with net.com juices. Right now for me nothing touches them.

Am favouring the cigar blends - the ruins, raven, mercenary and eclipse all superb. Got a few steeping in the drawer.

The smoked latkia that appears in a number of flavours. Sometimes I love it and sometimes I find it a bit too lapson souchong like.

In eclipse the cigar body balances it just right. In Balkan I loved it, dripped a 10 ml bottle over two nights.

In gypsy blonde it's good, wish I had ordered this with extra extract this time. In smoked leaf, was a tad too much for me.

Never an all day vape though that stuff!

Dark fired 2 is almost cigar like after a 3 week steep.

Gypsy Brunes has possibly come alive after the 3 week steep. Was a mixed on it to this point...this time...

Full zware possibly opened the bottle too early...loved it last order but this time a little underwhelming...now had 3 weeks so must try again.

I didn't order speaking spirit or sun cured turkish this time out, am really missing them.

VaPeOr was my favourite for a while, for some reason started finding it a bit sweet - the Virginia perhaps? Got a sample bottle in the drawer - be interesting to revisit.

Will the fire cured burley that's steeping taste as good now I have sampled the delights of the dark fired 2?

Probably missed a few favourites along the line there...!

My other brand juices including the rather excellent perique and El Puros from HoL just aren't getting a look right now.

Ordered a dripper mod for the kayfun lite, just couldn't get a decent draw off the thing however I wicked it, waiting at post office for collection.

Also at post office two more lemo drops. Plan is to rewick all three once a day and fill 'em up to last the day. Easy routine. Currently rewicking the one lemo drop at least twice a day, be good to do in one session as I do with my two drippers.

an interesting extraction I just finished and am trying now is Dunhill's "The Royal Yacht." It is a mixture of various Virginia tobaccos with their "special flavoring." To me this e-juice has good possibilities with aging, down the road. I only bring this up for those that may be interested in a unique mixture of Virginia tobaccos.

Today i have tried my drew estate acid blonde. It was a hot pg extraction with 6 weeks of steeping. Its a really horror taste like perfum and not a cigar. I cant believe that some of you like this stuff.

In my experience, you need to let it steep after mixing for 8 weeks or more. I used a 30% flavor ratio.

Talk about perfume and flowery, Kuba-kuba Deluxe taste like that right after mixing, but 2 months of steeping turns it into a pleasant vape.

My two latest, Dunhill Early Morning and Suttliff Heavy English were both disappointing. At least as far as Latakia goes. The Heavy English was pretty good despite the lack of heavy Latakia.

I have Early Morning going today along with the last of your Mississippi. The Early Morning to me is about the same as MVJ's blend. I mixed about six from those I filtered last weekend. Will let them sit until next weekend.

I have mixed it at 30% but i have steeped the ready juice till yet only 2 or 3 weeks. The perfume is like the acid blonde cigar is smelling. Its not like a cigar. Hope you are right. Thanks
