I finally got orders in at MVJ and RBFS.
Hearth&Home Obsidian, H&H Louisiana Red, 5 Vegas Cask Strength, 7th Ave. Blonde and Drew Estate Toasted Cavendish , all 17ml... The Toasted Cav is one I'm really excited to try. By the description, it's not something I would normally get but there was something telling me to just give it a shot.
From RBFS, I grabbed 15ml Count Caramel and 30ml each Porch Rocker and St. James Parish. I've heard some great things about the last two so I felt confident in getting the larger bottles.
Judging by what I've read here recently, I think I'm going to be pleased! It wasn't easy leaving my "Comfort Zone" with NET.com, GeJ, QnJ or W2V.

Most if not all of the naturally extracted tobacco vendors... don't extract that type of commercial tobacco probably because of all of the additional chemicals that go into them besides the flavors and tobacco itself.
The closest to an American cigarette that used all natural tobacco uses American Spirit cigarrette tobacco ... that is Naturally-Extracted-Tobacco.com Big Spirit line... none are menthol but you can easily add that yourself to the strength you would prefer. Goodejuice is probably my second favorite to N-E-T.com and they carry menthol versions as well. There are many other that are cigarette like, with only a few offering menthol options, but these are based on pipe tobaccos in my opinion... there are some great ones in this group but they aren't true american cigarette tasting to me either.
Use the forum search on this thread for the word "cigarette" so you can read more opinions, suggestions and other options that just this one...
I've tried all of those except the Vegas Cask, and Blonde (DE blondie cigar is great) and you're really going to like them, the Toasted Cav really benefits from a longer steep and smells delicious, the LA Red is excellent has a real natural sweetness that surprised me, and the Obsidian is one of my favorites, a smooth rich English flavor with mellow earth notes.
I mixed all of mine at 6mg 40/60 and 20% flavoring...in a 1.5 ohm coiled Veritas on my brass Nemmy.
You want to post your inquiry in the General Eliquid Discussion Forum instead of here. This thread is for NET juices. Hence, our answer would go something like this; Dump all the tobacco from a pack of Malboro Menthols into a glass container able to hold 80-100 mls of Propylene Glycol. Immerse said tobacco in the PG, cover and wait 30 days. Filter the liquid and use it as you would a DIY concentrate flavor to make ejuice and et viola!
No pickin' on the newbie's boomer...
There are good commercial NET cigarette vapes out there both american style and french styles .... add a couple drops of menthol and perhaps some koolada to it... bam... menthol cigarette.
You comment does make me wonder something... how well would the menthol used in a real ciggy extract?
Nice! Thanks for the tips... I knew I can always count on my fellow NETizens!
How is the Perique presence in the LA Red? I'm hoping it's an up-front note in a dripper at around .8-ish... Or a Reo, again hovering somewhere in the .8 - 1.0 ohm region.
I've only recently been using Rayon as a wick and I've been pleasantly surprised with the taste. It seems to have "Cleaned up" the flavors in my favorite Cavendish and English style NETs.
Nice RBFS choices. Count Caramel is lighter tobacco impact with a really tasty caramel. Porch Rocker is a fantastic multi-leaf blend with a touch of Latakia smokiness, an St. James is the heavyweight Perique champ. Little to no steeping needed for me, dig in right away.
If you're a new vaper you may want to start with synthetic menthol cig flavors instead of the extracted tobaccos discussed here.
Be sure to let the RBFS juices steep for at least a month before making any final decisions on them, as they change radically with time. Usually for the better
Cool... Thanks Jerms!
Count Caramel was an impulse buy to be honest. I do like to take a little break from the tobacco first vapes on occasion. Gj4 and OurwhY Qu4tro have been my stand-by... even though Qu4tro has a huge tobacco impact.
The Perique blends have really been growing on me. There is something about that tart-earthiness lingering around in the vape that I cannot seem to get enough of. Clay's Choctaw is a must have in my collection! Blended with other juices or straight up in a dripper... love the stuff!
I've just heard so much about Porch Rocker that I had to try it myself. The description sorta reminded me of QnJ "Grandpa's Nightcap" so obviously I had to give it a go.
You betcha! I always try fresh and try to leave the rest for a steep... sometimes a juice is so good it never sticks around long enough.
I don't get offended easily by juices!
I think Vita-Bella is a delicious vape, fresh or aged!
Yeah... I gave up that snipe hunt really early on in my vape journey, sorry. There were no juices back then that I would even consider a cig flavor. Most of us here converted over to Cigar/Pipe Tobacco extractions instead.
But I see Quick Nic has a couple NET "Red" and "Light" ciggy vapes... Both offered in Menthol.
Quick nic Juice Cigarette Naturally Extracted Tobacco flavored e-liquid. E-juice Made in the U.S.A
Quick nic Juice Analog Red Menthol tobacco flavored e-liquid. E-juice Made in the U.S.A
Both offered from 0mg up to 36mg nic.
Give them a shot... since they are described as NET's, you can come back here and give us your opinion. This is how we work as a community here!
Just like adding it to DIY juices I would imagine.

I've had Count Caramel and GJ4 both on hand for a bit, and have often enjoyed one after the other. CC is my favorite caramel NET and GJ4 is my favorite RY4 NET. CC has more of a unique and stand-out caramel, while GJ4 has a tasty caramel that blends perfectly with the vanilla and stronger tobacco. I enjoyed ouR whY Qu4tro, but not as much as you and others such as our resident RY4 guru Bill. Good tobacco, but the caramel and vanilla didn't impress me as much as I'd have liked.
Thanks for the clarification!
I figured that CC wasn't so much an RY4 in definition, more like a cavendish "casing", seeing they offer KillrY4.
I'm guilty of lumping similar styles into one category sometimes...
I see "Caramel" in the description and automatically think "RY".

Brobdingnagian recently stated something about the amalgamations of NETs that surface that no one would have thought would work together. During NET.coms Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale I purchased a number of these amalgamations one of which was Grilled Pineapple. Having grown up in Hawaii, while kids on the mainland were eating candy, we were eating fruits which is something I continue to like. I have had pineapple that has been grilled and it is one of the fruits IMO that lends itself to being put on a grill. I never would have imagined though that someone would actually decide to take a pineapple extract and add some fire smoked burley to it and come up with a Grilled Pineapple blend. The pineapple is very natural tasting and does not over power and the smokiness provided by the burley makes this a nice harmony of flavors.
Speaking of Count Caramel, I just opened it up again for the second time since I got it from that black Friday sale. At first, it was all caramel however, now, there is a real tobacco presence to it. Plus the caramel is fantablous. It kinda reminds me of what a powder caramel would taste as it is slightly dry but real good. Very glad I bought that one.
The other one I broke into is DWiT. My previous bottle was gifted to me and was well steeped having more of that acid blonde kick. I never really tasted the tobacco except for that cigar kick (not sure if that made sense but not good at explaining things sometimes). That being said, I still liked it enough to buy another bottle. This new bottle is about 5-6 weeks steeped and I tell ya, this has an awesome tobacco presence as well as that acid blonde kick. Kinda getting a Virginia vibe from the tobacco which is more prevalent on the inhale which then blends with the blonde thing. Very nice.
Another thing I recently did was take apart and wash both my Origens. I have not done that since the before the first use. They really started to taste muddled. However, after a good scrubbing, they taste fresh and clean. So note to self, quit being lazy self and rinse the darn things out at least once a week.
