I want to give a review of my first order from Real tobacco Extracts, a 3X concentrate of Yenidji Turkish, which I mixed using NN nic salts base. Evan threw in a small bottle of Izmir Turkish concentrate as well at no charge for me to try. Both are superb, subtle differences in each. His extracts are cold macerated, and I was impressed by how clean filtered these extracts were. Flavor wise, just an excellent, pure turkish tobacco vape (I ended up blending the two). I will order these again (likely the Izmir). Today I've ordered the Red Virginia 3X concentrate to vape alone and to also mix with the Turkish. Later I will probably pick up some burley to play with, I used to mix those three tobaccos for an excellent vape using NET tobaccos.
Though Evan recommends mixing the 3X concentrates at 33%, I mixed at 20% and had a fine vape in my myjet pods (they concentrate the vapor), only a little light but very good flavor in my tanks. I will likely mix at 25% for tanks in the future.

yes, I think Real Extracts are great liquids.
Very clean, and nice flavors. I'm just gravitating back to tobaccos, and at least for the moment, I prefer the somewhat sweeter and added flavors I've been getting from NET.com.
But, that's just a taste preference at this moment. I think Real Extracts has done a marvelous job with the straight tobaccos I've had from them, and I'll order from them again.

What PG / VG ratio are you mixing the NETs for your pods?

This has been on TV. I don't know what study they refer to. Anyone else see this?


E-cigarettes and vape pens have been hailed by many as an alternative to cigarettes.

"These things are prettier than cigarettes”, said Mark Clifton, the owner of No Smoke Shop in St. Louis.
“There's definitely some style going on that's probably a part of it.”

Studies show teens have embraced the e-cig trend. In fact, ‘vape competition' videos like this reach millions.

"What's going on is, they're trying to make as much vapor as they can” explains Clifton. “The person with the thickest vape, wins.”

However, “to win” has brought about a new smoking technique called “dripping” that can have dangerous consequences.

Clifton explains: "’Dripping’ is when you take the juice, put it directly on the coil. Then heat the coil and inhale the vapor. It's a pretty intense cloud. The vapor tastes really good. So the more cloud you get, the more vapor you get.”

The problem is that ‘dripping’ is so intense it can lead to nicotine poisoning.

For the most part, cloud wars use ZERO nicotine for the competition and, most of those people vape 3mg or less on those fog machines at higher wattage that produce those clouds.

They also don't tell you that the fog mods are $200.00 and up so, very rare that an underage vaper would even have one.

Just mixed up some diy using 25% Turkish 3X extract & 5% Red Virginia 3X extract from RTE, using Nude Nicotine Signature nic salts, final mix at 28mg nic. Seeping time 30 minutes after shaking and hot water bath, and loving it already. I prefer the pure smooth taste of Turkish but the Red Va adds just the right amount of oomph. Yes folks, oomph is a flavor :D
A smooth vape too using the nic salts, even at my 80PG/20VG ratio.

Yep, this is a good recipe using the Real Extracts. The Turkish and Virginia compliment each other. I sometimes mix the Turkish with the Kentucky Burley as an alternate. Using the Turkish Izmir/Yenidje as a spice to blend with the base varietal leaf (Burley or Virginia) is exquisite.
Agree, one of my favorite vapes was a Turkish, pure Virginia, and burley From NET that I mixed.

After more than a year of not having good fresh juices from Goodejuice I got an order about a month ago. Finally I had Patriot back into my rotation. Patriot was for years my single favorite e-liquid narrowly eclipsing so many other great NET e-liquids from a range of vendors.

However, this most recent Patriot tastes different. It isn't the same. I had detected changes in the bottle I had lost in the fridge but I had put that down to flavor alteration due to damage done by refrigeration.

Well this new bottle of Patriot tastes similar. Patriot used to be a wonderful woody pipe flavor which left a delectable room note. Now it seems to have lost that woodiness and has an almost wine note to it. The new Patriot has also lost a touch of the natural sweetness the original Patriot had.

I notice that on the description for Patriot on the order page Nick has added that 'it is a new improved recipe' or something along those lines so I assume the change of flavor is not just as a result of a 'bad' batch erring from quality control but is part of an ongoing permanent recipe change.

The original Patriot was perfect as it was. It needed no fixing. It was a best seller and stood the test of time.

Has anyone else been vaping Patriot lately who knows how it used to taste that could give me some feedback on this?

I noticed the change in my last order. Not going to order again. ( sigh ) Is nothing sacred? I'm down to Godfather and Americano as far as commercial juices go.
