Want2Vape and Mountain Oak Vapor (I think) made a Kuba Kuba but I don’t think The Plume Room ever did.

I actually enjoyed Kuba Kuba. It’s a drew estate tobacco with the botanicals similar to The Blonde from Want2Vape and H mane from NET.com which are extractions from the mass appealing Acid Blonde from Drew Estate

It’s possible it was someone else. It’s been awhile. I got it from Scarfy. An American ECF friend who lived in Canberra (haven’t heard from her in a long time). She had sent me several PR flavors as well and that’s why I’m thinking it was PR.

I believe it was PR (I could be wrong) made a Kuba Kuba NET. The most God-awful thing I ever put in my mouth. Tasted exactly like my dad's cologne from when I was a little guy. I think they scaled back their NET offerings by quite a bit.
I believe Quick Nic makes and still sells Kuba Kuba.

I miss MyVapeJuice. Her second attempt at NET flavors actually turned out pretty good, then she bailed when Big Brother Gub'ment became a threat. She had a wine flavored NET that I just loved....
NET.com has a couple wine infused blends. One is a cigar blend called Vyno and a red wine infused pipe tobacco called Veritas. I used to really like both as the wine added an unique taste along with a dry mouth feel. Have not ordered any NET's in a while as I took a break from them. Although, was thinking of ordering those two along with Starry Nights and Desert Cheery for old times sake.

Scarfy and I caught up a few times there in 2012-2013. I wonder what happened to her. She was on my FB for a while too.

Maybe it was Quicknicjuice? I can remember the bottle distinctly. It had a gold yellow label and was called ‘Kuba Kuba’ if that’s the one you had.

PS: just caught up on posts and I see someone has also mentioned QNJ so that must have been it. That Kk was a nice drop. Actually I miss QNJ immensely. Their Habana daydream, Turkish and that banana flavoured one were all amazing.

I spent about $500 on her mega sale of the extracts, spent an age mixing them all and ended up tossing the whole lot. I don’t know if it was me but or the age of the extracts but they all tasted the same and tasted off. I had liters of the stuff!

But prior to her liquidation sale I really loved MVJ as well even her earlier NETs.

Her very early batches of NETs were amazing because she didn’t aim at a clean filtered product, she aimed for flavour. The early stuff had good dense tobacco flavour. I remember distinctly trying her County Squire and it was just like smoking a cigar.

I think it was when she changed her formulations to make cleaner NETs that resulted in NETs that had a lower flavor saturation. Even then there were still a lot of good ones.

Then she reformulated again and seemed to have found the perfect balance between flavour and clean filtration.

Vicman could you let us know how they perform if you do order? I am considering an order as well.

Will do. Probably going to order sometime next week. Going to stick to the cigar blends as they have always been my favorite from there.

Scarfy PM'd me a couple times a few years ago but then disappeared again. I kinda miss her.

I liked QnJ a lot. Liked their flue cured stuff along with Habana Daydream and their monkey juice was awesome (the only monkey juice I ever liked). I was really bummed when they scaled back their menu. He still has a few including Habana Daydream and yes, Kuba Kuba. Now that we're talking about it, he expanded his NET menu by quite a bit back in 2013ish and he wanted to send samples out to people to get feedback. So he PM's me and asked if I could find five people for him (we're Chicago boys so we sorta connected). No problem! You, Mr. Anthony, was one of the five I told him to send them to! :)

Hi Bronze, I appreciate that though I don’t remember him sending any to me and it could have been because I was overseas. I think I recall that he was also having a naming contest or something. He didn’t have names for the new NETs. I remember the Turkish one was eventually named Humpback.

I am considering an order if he ships overseas still but something tells me he doesn’t.

I remember telling him you were in Australia but he said he could deal with it. Perhaps not.

You know what, he may have sent them and I’ve just forgotten. I do kind of recall receiving small samplers of juices from QNJ but I can’t remember vaping them.

In any event, if I didn’t thank you then, then thank you :)

Well... I only have about 1ml left of Dragon Fire :evil: and my order isn't here yet... this is not a good thing :(
I understand. Completely. Trust me.

I remember when DF first hooked me back in 2012. I got just a small 3ml sample. I got hooked on the last drag. Then I had to wait several days to get replenished. Got me a 30ml bottle. I sucked thru that so fast it made my head spin and I got caught with my shorts down again and ran out. Waited again. It felt like I could not continue my life until I was replenished. It occupied my mind too much. After awhile it sunk in that I had to have a bigger inventory. Now I keep 3, 100ml bottles. When #3 runs out and I go to crack open #2, I order another. I'd lose my mind if I ran out of DF. :)
