Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

[MFToms59]

I vape primarily tobacco flavors, so when I found the
N-E-T line I thought the search was over for great tobacco flavors...the flavors weren't bad but these liquids severly fouled the coils in my Kayfuns in less than half a nano tankful and was completely unvapable, even with long lasting rayon builds.

Micro and contact coils are great for any type of synthetic juices, but the smaller Inner Diameter (ID) and lack of coil spacing aren't conducive to NETS.
When coiling for NET juices, I avoid Micro or contact coils of any ID, and make mine spaced with a minimum ID of 2mm, you'll extend the time between dry-burns and vaping.

No, I actually splurged on an authentic. I have heard good things about the clone though... only complaint was some people felt the wire capture holes positioning was a little wonky on some. Seems like you and I have pretty similar vaping styles/setups, I think you would really dig it...

The Manta 2 Clone is an awesome Flavor Machine like the Authentic, and the AFC can be closed down for satisfying MtL hitters like jerms and myself. The wire holes are askew but easy to thread wire through. The coil placement needs the lower 1/2 or so to sit below the rim of the deck, or the reduced chambered top cap will short your coils... always check your ohms with & without the top cap for any atty before a live-fire. Add; Though the Air intake are on top of the cap, it feeds though the side of the cap, I haven't had any leaking at all, a very nicely designed Atty.

I'd also recommend an Atomic if you're not too caught up on its appearance.

I posted a while back about a bad experience with Vita Bella from GEJ and found the problem wasn't the juice.

I think it's possible this was bad juice. I mean, if you could taste and smell the vapor from it... this isn't just off, it's plain yuck.

Whatever the case, I just tried GEJ Godfather and it's great so that's 2 out of 4 from them that work for me.

I wanted to be fair and post that I found the problem with bad taste vaping Vita Bella from GEJ was user error on my end. Still not a reorder for me but it wasn't bad juice, just a bad job building on my part. They didn't send me any bad product and I felt bad about saying they did. Patriot is still the only NET I vape and I'm looking forward to trying others when I can. Thanks for the informative posts everyone.

If you're mildly adventurous give the GeJ Natural Perique a try, and for a milder Tobacco, Acadian Gold is easy on the palette.

The Atomic has been my favorite dripper for a while. While I like and use ones I've bought since then: Origen V2, Quasar, Magma; the Atomic beats them all in flavor for me.

Oh I try a lot of juices. Been on an RY4 binge lately but I'll get some samples of those you mentioned. I've tried their GJ4 and regular RY4. I prefer the Quick Nic Our Why Qu4attro over both from GEJ. Not a fan of the molasses type RY4s.

I've been trying the Raven's Cut Pachino V1 and V2. Flavor has been very good dripping. On my subtank 1.2 coil it's up there with Want2Vape in coil gore. It's a bummer for me since I enjoy using the subtank while driving or while at work when I have customers to deal with.

In other news Giant Vapes has the House of Liquid lines on sale. Available only in 7ml or 60ml but $22 for 60ml with free shipping is an amazing deal.

In funny vape shop news.....

A woman came to the store the other day looking for a tobacco liquid. She didn't like any of ours (which are artificial) and I asked about her favorites.

She replied with "I guarantee you haven't heard of it: Dragon's Fire from Heather's Heavenly Vapes."

I then smiled and replied, "Not only do I know the company, I was one of the first people to try their extracted tobaccos." I went on to explain their CO2 extraction and that none of my store's liquid would taste right for her. I brought out one of my MVJ pipe extracts and mixed up to her specs, to which she was extremely excited.
Definitely surprised her that day.

Oh, you need to try the Organic #1. You'll thank me later

Just found a 7 month old sample of sun cured Turkish from NETCOM... Wow. Wow. Wow. Amazing.

That is all.

My list of NET extracts for trades is still good in the PIF thread :

I've had two little sample bottles of that. I'm finishing off the last one about that old as I type. Couldn't agree more with your assessment. Got a big bottle sitting in my NET cart waiting for a possible 4th of July sale.

btw, "Hey All". I scored a little bundle in the Classifieds:
30 ml NET Smoked Latakia
30 ml NET Shek-el-Bint
30 ml RBFS Latakia
15ml Walker's Finest Triple Blend (haven't heard of this one)

and the cool seller included a bottle of about 100ml of 60/40 PG/VG base.

Any suggestions for concoction makings?

That's interesting, I love NET.com extracts, especially after they age a few weeks or so. I recently vaped some flavors (Air Cured Burley, Red Virginia) that I had some left that I bought back in december of last year and january of this year, and they didn't appear to hold their flavor, tasted rather bland. My recent bottle of Red Virginia had more flavor. I am wondering if maybe I didn't shake the glass bottles enough as I used them up over time or something, based on what you wrote.I need to order another bottle of Turkish, its good alone or mixed with other tobacco extracts like red virginia and air cured burley.

I had some Latakia, and mixed it with some milder extracts like air cured burley and i forget what else

Today I received a bottle of Lizard Tail from GeJ by someone who didn't like it.

I haven't vaped any NET in the last couple weeks, so the pure tobacco taste was a kicker. Lizard Tail is fairly potent and seems to have a touch of fire cured tobacco going on. It's extremely unique, has tobacco notes that I don't recognize and overall is a pretty different flavor.

I don't really have an opinion on it yet. On day 1 it's more of an interesting flavor than a great flavor for me. Worth checking out if your wanting a tobacco that tastes a bit different than the standard leaves.

Part of the description at GeJ; "Lizard Tail eliquid combines the sweetness of Orinoco, an early Virginia blend commonly used in colonial times, and Turtlefoot which is a rich, brown tobacco that is popular with pipe smokers and cigarette smokers alike."

Im newer but happy to vote...i assume the thread is not open yet right?

On another front, Ive been vaping GeJ's organic #1, which I have come full circle on and enjoy now, in a nautilus mini. Also vaping Vash's turkish liquid in an evod. Still letting NET's Big Spirit sit for a few more days till im at around the 3 week mark before I even try it. Ive been vaping 3 or 4 flavors at once. I enjoy the flavors but Im also trying to keep things fresh to keep vape tongue away. I'll still get "nose fatigue" on most of the flavors by the end of the day but then again i chain vape all day, almost.

Hey I would love to participate. I haven't posted much on the forum, but have been an avid reader here well before i signed up, and the NETTY awards helped me to find some nice NETs to try. I think I have tried 20 or so different NETs by now, lol.

 

[Jerms]

I wonder, is the Magma still a big deal to a bunch here? When it came out it was the atty of choice for several NETers.

I use mine, but it's always been one I wanted to like more than really liking. While the flavor is very good, it just hasn't been as saturated as my other drippers. I like a very wet vape but the Magma was a little dry.

I figured that was because of the design, the coil not having as much direct contact with juice as my other devices. I finally had the thought that maybe a bigger coil with more wicking may result in a more saturated coil and vape, so I found a nail that's about 2.75 mm diameter. Early results are promising.
