Mazz, I didn't care for any of the Cigars I've tried but have a few of the Pipe tobaccos earmarked for re-orders.

Hearth and Home - Louisiana Red Pipe tobacco
Sutliff Private Stock - Charlemagne
Drew Estate - Heirloom Cherry
Drew Estate - 7th Ave Blonde
Drew Estate - Toasted Black Cavendish
Dunhill - Early Morning
MVJ's Centurion tobacco - Original

I'm not very fond of cigar vapes either Dusty. How were the Sutliff Private Stock - Charlemagne and MVJ's Centurion tobacco - Original?

My thoughts from when I first tried Charlemagne.. "The Black Cav steals the show and right away tickled the nose and back of my throat. There's a sweetness to it, and yet it's slightly pungent when you inhale the vapor. The Burley is toned down enough that there's no nuttiness coming through. It's slightly on the drier side, with a nice mild-mid feel to it. 4 plus."

I did not keep notes on the Centurion, because it was a sample that I requested with my first order, but I remember being surprised by how nice it was. There was nothing that really jumped out at me, other than being an overall enjoyable vape. It was kind of a mild/medium, dry, slightly grassy and very well rounded juice. I'd put it in the same categories as HHV's Dark Horse, maybe Huntsman as well as Epipemods Long Bottom Leaf.

Another one that has been growing on me, Davidoff Flake Medallions. It's a VA/Per Black Cavendish blend that I've used around 2 tanks of, and I'm liking it. Maybe not as much as Louisiana Red which is more defined, but it's in the same general neighbourhood.

From CigarsInternational: "Davidoff Flake Medallions are crafted from mature Virginia grown in the USA, Perique from Louisiana, and Black Cavendish. These tobaccos are pressed into spun rolls then cut into gorgeous, easy-smoking medallions. The taste is sweet, spicy, rich - very complex. The balance is exquisite. And the overall experience is one of a kind. Whether you rub these out or smoke them intact, you're going to love Davidoff's Flake Medallions.

Trying desperately to finish off the box full of juices I have without succumbing to the lure of adding a second box..

I'm still keeping a partial eye on the thread though. :D
Me too. Need to vape down my 12mg juices before buying more 6mg. Still have a few NETs on hand that I haven't started on yet; two VA/Per+1 blends from John and Analog Red from QnJ, but mostly vaping up older NETs, artibaccos, and a lot of RBFS. Also vaping a lot of non-baccos from Ahl, QnJ, and other places.

Switched to KGD cotton in everything. My Kayfuns seem leakier when out in the cold using rayon. Will switch back to rayon after using up my 12mg juices. No idea how long it will take, I have a lot of juice.

Thinking about my next NET purchases when the time comes. High on the list is some new to me GeJ, maybe a bunch of NETcom and Ether, and RBFS reorders. TPR's new NET and Indigo's artis and NETs and maybe try some MVJ pipe blends.

I'm tiring of trying a lot of new juices... currently I'm leaning to just vaping a couple of different one. As of this moment, N-E-T.com's tRY4.1 is my ADV and Big Spirit with some added menthol is now my second ADV juice.

Prior to the tRY4.1... I'd only tried one other RY4 from Highbrow but it never quite got my attention. I'm also now trying some conventional RY4's ( arti/syth ) to see if I can find one I like and that doesn't clog a coil like a NET juice does. If any other RY4 is going to replace the tRY4.1 from N-E-T.com... it's going to have to be really good... I don't see it happening but I won't know until I've tried them.
I've been vaping a lot of SmokelessImage Volt RY4. It's a classic style RY4, one of the best and highly recommended by RY4 guru Bill, and dirt cheap for a 30ml. Quite a different experience from NET RY4s of course; liking one style doesn't mean automatically liking the other.

Of the various VA-Per blends I've tried---all of which have been home extractions---H&H Louisiana Red is the most straight-ahead, no-kidding, tobacco-only mix. H&H Anniversary Kake is a somewhat softer aromatic blend, with C&D Poplar Camp being more flavored still.

The most aromatic VA-Pers I've had are two Missouri Meerschaum blend extracts that Johni sent me---Country Gentleman and Great Dane. Those two are more classic hybrid blends that are substantially sweeter and use non-tobacco flavorings more liberally. They're my current faves, however. I find myself reaching for CG and GD more than Louisiana Red. Apparently my days of being a hard-core tobacco guy are behind me.
I have Country Gentleman and Virginia Spice to try from John. I'm expecting I will absolutely love them.

Like many of us here... I've got a ton of NET's that I want to vape through and get my stock down on. Having said that... onto the arti/synth stuff..

First I picked up some of MVJ's Our RY4 extract. My first mix was done using 20% extract and at first vape... I knew it needed more so I've increased it to 25% yesterday. The etOH alcohol ( used for the flavorings ) taste is still kinda strong, so I've set it aside with the top open and will shake it over the next few days and then let it steep. I've also got a tank of it in a Aerotank Mini... so I can taste test it over the next few weeks. Like many of Diane's NET's, this one is a bit weak on flavor right off the bat, if steeping doesn't bring it up... I may increase it to 30% even though I didn't account for that with the NIC level ( at 25% it's at 6mg right now ).

The other one I grabbed is GotVapes GR4. Right off I was not impressed and found it has a really strong perfume flavor to it. I'll also let it air as much as possible and steep a while. At this time, I don't have much hope for this one but I've had juices change drastically in the past, so I'm unwilling to write it off this soon.

I'll probably not purchase more for a month or so depending on the steeping results of what I've got now. I will however check out the SmokelessImage Volt RY4 you mentioned when I do try something else.

MVJ, GeJ and HHV have my full attention for now.

RBFS, I'll hold off till I can get in on one of their sales. Need to try Ether at some point too.. never ends does it?! :)

Since SI lowered the price of it's Volt juices ($6.95 for 30ml), it might be the best deal for a superb classic RY4 available.

Enjoying some Burley and Candy from the Plume Room now while waiting for my Seattle Pipe Club: Mississippi River to strain and football to start. I love the burley used in this vape. A nice, mild tobacco that pairs well with my morning coffee.

that Seattle Pipe Club - Mississippi River is one of the tobaccos I want to buy and extract next, along with Seattle Pipe Club - Plumb Pudding. Keep us abreast of your progress on the Mississippi River, please. :vapor:

I would like to propose to people on this thread that Alice in Vapeland (AiV) be removed from the vendor listing on the first page if they are in agreement. Although AiV had a few NETs, this past summer they were removed from their website with the exception of Fifteen Foot Falls. While FFF has a little bit of NET in it, it is the least percentage of the make-up of this eliquid. The main extracts of FFF are: marshmallow (fluff), coconut, graham crackers and a little bit of NET. This is a tasty all natural eliquid for someone who wants a small tobacco impact. I spoke with Nicole earlier this year to see what her plans were to introduce other NETs. Based on this conversation, NETs really do not fit the profile for AiV. If there are no objections then I would request that Dusty update the first page.

If you are looking for higher VG all natural eliquids you may want to give them a try. Check out their Oddity Room and the Red Door in the C.Room as well. New flavors go into the C.Room first. The flavors tend to be subtle however I found my taste buds adjusted nicely. They have a thread on ECF however it is mostly chit chat.

I will do that. I usually let my extracts set for a month after straining so it will be a while before I mix any.

Jerms , i'm assuming you'll be ordering confederate from ethervapes? I implore you for the sake of tastebuds get the free 10ml of the bright burley to go with it.

I'd recommend that any vendor that quits selling NET's get moved into another category similar to what happened with Alhusion instead of completely removing them so there is still a reference that can be used and relates to the posts in the thread. Perhaps even including which tier they were in before being moved...

Dusty - lets go with rdsok's recommendation. If anyone comes along later that objects, we can always address it at that time. Thanks rdsok for your suggestion and Dusty for the update.
