Man this Organic #1 is just killer. I'd say it's a must-try from GeJ. Such a unique flavor, unlike any other NET I've had. I wonder what type of tobacco this organic tobacco is. It's a great tobacco flavor, but I have a feeling that whatever it's cased in really adds to the originality. It's almost like chocolate, but not really.

A bit over-due, but I'd like to thank Bill for the extracts I received last week, my first two juices mixed were the Louisiana Red & NUB Cameroon.

I've been enjoying the LR, mixed 20% flavor @ 50/50 14mg, for the past 5 nights, YK1 Dripper on a 1.3ohm Micro, 1mm ID & Japanese Cotton wick, @8.5 watts. The Red Virginia/ Perique blend is mellow with a hint of spice/pepper, and a slight Plum finish as described. The nose exhale give a slight Mushroom/grassy note I find pleasant, TH is mild but present, I'm loving this extract.

His NUB Cameroon sits quietly, an extended vape session will be done tomorrow evening, along side my Cold-Steeped version of NUB Cameroon. Both are blended 20% flavor, 50/50 @14mg, with my blend bend ~4 shades lighter in color & different extraction methods; Heat vs. Cold, I'd expect to find a few flavor differences.

Another juice I've finally visited, AHL Cocoa Blend 100%VG @18mg, bought this quite awhile ago, ~Nov IIRC, it was kept refrigerated to, IMO, slow the steep process.

Whoa, a strong Burley Tobacco is up-front, backed by a smooth Cocoa not lost to the Burley's boldness, strong TH hits the back of my throat without being harsh. This is a Straight-Ahead Tobacco vape, the Tobacco & Cocao blends harmoniously, good nic buzz after 4-6 chain vapes, the opposite end of Louisiana's complex blend.

Louisiana Red is my favorite from Bill, just baaarely nudging ahead of Anniversary Kake.

Cocoa Blend from Ahl is damn good too.

I hadn't heard that one. I haven't vaped a spaced out coil since my silica days. Let me know if you get more vape time with the spaced wraps, that would be awesome!

Yeah, will do. Couldn't find a screw with the right diameter in the house, or else would've done it already. Curious myself. Don't really trust my eyes and motor skills to get the wraps equidistant on a screwdriver or dremel bit. The person who had tried the spaced out coils claimed he got two to three times the vape time on the gunkiest GeJ juice, and i have know reason to doubt him.

Gaia has been a constant in my out and about KFL for the last 4 months. Good enough to unseat Huntsman! Love it!!

After a year of shadow, df, huntsman, pirates booty and serendipity for the most part, i finally tried two HHV's i hadn't before during the big sale. Gaia and Temptation are both winners imo. Jury still out on which i prefer. Will only tell after a few more tankful's of each. Hearing Dark Horse mentioned, i wish i had ordered that too. It's been a good nine months since i had that.

Another option may be to just make a regular coil with touching wraps and then stretching the coil by pulling the ends. Should result in fairly uniform spacing.

hmm !? will give it a go soon. I recoiled all my pt's and kay/tai's yesterday, but soon ! For now i just put my gunkiest juices in a pt2. It takes me 30 seconds to dryburn and rewick those, and if i have to do it half way through the tank it's not a big deal tbh.

Running moO#1 in my Atomic today. Getting much better results as far as gunking compared to the set-up I used it in on day 1. Like others have said, Organic #1 seems about the same level of gunky as other GeJ NETs, not bad at all for a flavorful maceration. It is the darkest GeJ I've seen by far, very dark black; blood red with light shining through.

My Atomic dripper seems slower to gunk than any other dripper I have, and I have no idea why. Maybe that the coil is higher off the base has something to do with it; most of my small drippers have coils just barely off the base.

Wow. I think you really are in love :laugh:

But I don't blame you :D

i was just reading a reply to my post on a different thread :

"Wicking density looks right on for kgd. Found that trimming the wick ends super short (so they don't contact the base in any way) helped to prolong wick life when vaping NETs as the flavor pigments tend to clog the wick anywhere the fibers get bent. NETs like nice straight fibers. Actually discovered this while confirming Macs' suggestions for trimming nextel."

Might be this is the reason it's working better on your Atomic.

Speaking of wicking, I got my Ready Wick coming. I know the price is what it is, but I think wicks are of the utmost importance and I have varying results with cotton wicking being fast enough. The first time I used Ready Wick I just marveled at how fast it slurped up the liquid. Yeah, that's a wick!

(Watch, I'll be in love with mesh the next week and re-discovering cotton the week after. Oy vey.)

The Origen v2 lasts a loooong time between wickings. I too was thinking its 'cause of the long wicks.

XC-116 is good wick. I prefer the flavor provided by fiberous wicks like cotton and rayon for most juices, but still keep a dripper going with XC because for some juices it's better. The wick outlasts the coil too. Most NETs I prefer rayon/cotton, so I use that most, but the ceramic does a good job with fruits, desserts, and creams. I also prefered Tobacco Haze with the XC as I mentioned earlier.

If you haven't tried rayon yet Mann, it's wicking abilities really stand out.

Phil Busardo is running some experiments comparing organic cotton, cotton pads (KGD), hemp, and rayon. The results should be posted on his site soon.

Nice. I'll keep checking.

On the subject of gunk, the 100%VG NET.com juices I've got are off the charts gunky, 2 days dripping and my coil had become a solid black mass, you couldn't see coils anymore.

Using cotton wicks, 27 gauge kanthal at 0.9 Ohms, big coils, lots of space between them, After lots of testing with different gauges of wire and style of coil its what I found best combats the gunk build up. I think the extra extract in my 3-Crown is just that full of tobacco, its the only NET I've tried that's managed to completely gunk up my coil to that point.

Yeah, higher tobacco extract ratio has a pretty noticable effect on gunking. Still though, being able to run a juice for 2 days on a coil before needing to dry burn is decent legs for a macerated NET. With the top gunkers you're lucky to get 2 hours before the coil is thrashed, and the extreme ones will do that in 2 minutes.
