Man, she's got a BUNCH (capital letters) of NETs coming soon.
If they're anything as well-received as the cigars have been, prepare for a huge shift in multiple vendors' filtering and extraction methods. If they can't keep up...
That woman doesn't sleep!
No, she
steeps!
I remember after the My Hero line was released how quickly a bunch of other NETs kept popping up on her site. Along with adding a steeped to perfection and an all VG lines.
I've had the three My Heros. Mine didn't have any floaty things, but were pretty dark in color. I liked them, Vanilla was my favorite. The tobacco was kind of one-note, being a bassy low flavor. No complexities, but enjoyable for me.
I like that she's worked hard to perfect a certain line, and
then branched out into this next unknown lineup of NET's.
I wouldn't be at all surprised to see at least a couple of Latakia and Cavendish pipe blends.
As they say, "Practice makes perfect."
Also.....

I'm just surprised Acadian Gold didn't make the list...at all. It's a really good, smooth tobacco and I haven't been able to find anything similar up to this point.
I was expecting to see more NETCOM pipe tobaccos, but ....I couldn't give a review as of yet, and until I try MvJ's cigar line, I'd feel like I wasn't giving an accurate vote.
HHV, I like, but you gotta let 'em steep to bring out the full enjoyment factor - at least, for me.
This goes for the tobaccos and the fruit flavors.
I'm a drip-top-remover type steeper, and the faster I can get the juices flowing, the better.
I guess I'd say the same about Vurley (not sure if the rest of Ahlusion's juices are similar or whether it's the congestive sinus thing going around, I'll reiterate) because it seemed much smoother and more enjoyable after I left the cap off for two days. I'll let it sit, fill a half-tank, see how I respond to it, and go from there.
I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy MvJ's e-liquids more than Ahlusion's. Sorry, but when someone takes the time to
steep it for you that's....well, that's just awesome. Not to mention you can order 21mg if you're trying to step down from 24mg without jumping straight to 18.
This is not to knock Ahlusion, but if I
have to steep something from any vendor to enjoy it without encountering the dreaded alcohol irritation, it annoys me to no end.
Since MvJ doesn't use solvents (at least in the extraction process from what I've been able to gather), that cuts that entire problem out of the equation; automatic +1 from me on that, alone.
At least with GeJ, they're good to go out of the bottle and just get better with time.
I'm going to assume the same is true about MvJ, solely based on what I've heard.
Side note: My Vita Bella and Acadian Gold showed up today; USPS must have manhandled the package because I sat both bottles in their usual steeping location, went about my business and recoiled a wick, and looked over to see nearly 3ml's of VB saturating the light cloth I have under the juice bottles.
Apparently, not only was there a lack of bubble wrap, but the new thinner plastic 30ml bottle had a hairline crack at the bottom. It had to have happened recently [probably the tampa sort facility or local post office], because if it were leaking at that rate in transit from GeJ, it would have flooded the bag, made its way through the threads, and leaked
through the box.
EDIT: I'm thinking uncapping it was what caused it to leak like a sieve. At least I didn't lose too much of the VB. Whew. Transferred into another Acadian Gold bottle, so at least for now, I can see which is which.... because the Acadian Gold is...well...gold to golden amber colored where VB has more of a reddish hue.
