I believe it was already mentioned, but Real Extracts, LLC is having a 50% off juice sale (coupon code "ECFSPECIAL50"). They are also still offering the deal where you get 10ml of the other tobaccos when you purchase a 30ml CowBoy. This brings them down $0.25/ml, which is an amazing price for the quality of the juice. I don't know how much cheaper they could or will get, but I'd strongly recommend jumping on these deals if you've been waiting to try them. I've been completely hooked on CowBoy, and it's one of, if not THE, best analog cig replacement I've ever had. Their Turkish is fantastic too.

They're also now offering DIY pure tobacco concentrates. They're not part of the 50% off sale, but $0.50/ml for 120mls of pure extract is a great price and could go pretty far. I'm getting the Turkish Izmir to make their Turkish blend more Turkisher and to try it out mixed on its own.

Call me a fanboy, but I can't put CowBoy down. This stuff is liquid gold. Now, no more ordering for me until Black Friday/Cyber Monday (hopefully).

I went to order because I didn't realize I could combine those two deals. It's saying I need to make a minimum purchase of $60 to use that coupon code though, so gonna pass for now.

I gotta say I've been enjoying Cowboy all weekend. The Virginia and burley blend nicely, especially after a few days of steeping. I finally put it down to try the English blend. Kinda diggin it as well. It has a mellow sweetness to it. I like that I can see what a Virginia tobacco tastes like all by itself. The Turkish was rather enjoyable upon first impression as well; will revisit it in a day or so.

On another not, I tried my DEV order after the recommended two week steep. I hate to say anything bad but I was unimpressed by it. The Blue Mountain was not bad but I think the tobacco base kinda ruined it for me. I so wanted this one to blow my mind because Blue Ridge from MOV has always been one of my favorite vapes. Unfortunately, the synthetic BR is much better in my mind. The Maplewood tobacco didn't do it for me as well. Again, it was the tobacco base I think; something about it does not sit well with my taste buds I guess. The house blend didn't do it for me either as it was just too darn sweet for me. Might have had a bad night so will revisit in a week or two to see if my opinion changes but first impression was not great.

Dianne does surprise you from time to time. She has the biggest heart of all the vendors I've dealt with. I have gotten a couple of unexpected gifts from her over my short vaping career. I don't mention it often because I don't want people thinking the gifts affect my reviews of her products. She is a real gem.

I couldn't agree more. Diane is a class act...and MVJ's juices rarely, if ever, disappoint.

Don't count on having a change of heard with the DEV. The tobacco base they use just isn't up to the standards of most of the NET vendors discussed here. I put up with it is the best I can say lol. Got tired of them fairly quick though.

Just received an email from Real Extracts that my order will not be accepted as charged and my credit card charge has been reversed, because the extracts and sample packs were already discounted. Just a heads up to anyone who has way too much juice as is only ordering because of the ridiculous discount.

Well, I will be home again from the business trip with my old dog. I am on an emotional roller coaster - I don't think he will last the week. Very hard time for me. So since I will be home might as well get more tobacco and do another extracting session. Keep my mind off my emotions. Now what to get.....

Sorry for a bummer post. :(

Oh clnire, my heart breaks for you! (I've been through this too many times already, although that will never stop me from adopting new animals!) :cry:

Our pets are about as close as any of us are likely to get to unconditional love. The problem, of course, is that they don't live as long as we do, so hello-goodbye is built in. Judging from my own experience, nothing except the passage of time will assuage the heartache of saying goodbye to a beloved animal companion.


What Bill said. ^^^^^^

I got an email last night from Evan at Real Extracts saying that the 50% off discount didn't apply to the concentrates (even though it was applied in my cart), but I still went ahead with the Turkish Izmir, since $0.50/ml is still a good price for pure extract. He said he was working on the issue. However, the 50% off discount was applied to the ECF Special, where you buy 30ml of CowBoy and get 10ml of the rest for free, bringing them to $0.25/ml. I find that a very reasonable price to give them a try. The discount is not applicable to the other sample packs though.

CowBoy really comes into its own at about 2-3 weeks. It blends into a tasty harmonious whole, and you can't tell where the Virginia stops and the Burley begins. I loved Turkish too, but CowBoy was the star of the pack for me. The English was OK and probably the best pure Virginia I've ever tried. I'm not sure if I would reorder that one on its own though, since I get "burnt" on straight Virginia pretty quickly. CowBoy is my new recommendation to anyone who wants to get off the stinkies (replacing Acadian Gold).

Received my $15 GP Paps clone from 101Vape. The spring flew away from me when messing around with the switch. I started searching for it, but instead thought, screw it, I'll instead toss the works in the garbage. Just a horrible device. It's what I get for jumping on a mech clone because of the price without researching first.

The total order needs to be over $ 60 though for that discount to apply. I was only gonna order if it was a ridiculous discount, since I already have over two liters of juice.

If I am to try them it will have to be Pif. I have a ton of juice which I will post on the pif thread as soon as I have an exact inventory.
 
Just got my KGD cotton today, and wow...just wow. I honestly didn't think it would be as significant of a difference as it was, but wow...talk about flavor! Jury's still out on the Magma though. I like some aspects of it - like how much liquid it holds, and how awesome the flavor is. But it requires a bit of fiddling, and I can't seem to drip into it without getting juice into the airholes. That leads to leaking, which I do not care for at all. But that KGD...wow.

What I find helps with the Magma, is to keep either the word Paradigm or Magma facing me when using the two largest air holes. This keeps the open air holes to the side and does not cause any leakage. Also, you could just drip a little less, seeing as how it will hold around a ml of juice. Still plenty if you drip 3/4 of a ml. ;)

Vaping Ether Vape's Nomad, does this place make a bad juice I don't think so this is so much like a top notch cigarette, unbelieveable. Using a Segelei 30 at 20W with a brass monkey dripper. Even tried their plasma punch and like it for an on the go with clearomizer vape.

Does any know if NET.com is shipping new orders yet.

My issue with leaking was not during the vape but during the drip. I rectified it by just dripping with the top cap off. It's a an extra step, but it's no biggie really. One thing that I found also works, if dripping through the drip tip, is to drip a couple drops and wait a few seconds before adding a few more -- that allows for the liquid to soak in the right places and not go to the wrong ones. Either which way though, those ways that work for me makes adding liquid just a tad more work than a other RDAs, but I use the word "work" very loosely. The flavor is great, so it's worth it.

Exactly my issue. And I find when I remove the top cap to drip, there's all this condensed liquid in the cap and down onto the threads which can cause a big mess if I'm not careful...

All of those things you listed are so small... it's an exaggeration to say they are fiddly, work or big in any way if you compare them to any other drippers ( at least the ones I've used )
