Best Synthetic - I admit it...I still vape more CWW than any other juice. That said, my last bottle even after a long steep was just missing something. Anyone else have a similar issue this year?

Funny you mention that... I just happened to load up CWW this evening. This bottle was purchased in December and I've been having trouble getting through it. That was certainly not the case in the past. You're right, something is different/missing. Can't put my finger on it though... I actually wonder if the synthetic reveal just got in my head.

Or is it the missing NET they said was never actually there? Still confused by that whole thing... Then they changed the formula of one of their most popular flavors, smooth criminal, and then brought back the original formula and called it Godfather? What this a New Coke strategy??

Still love their JG Blend though

End of Rant :)

There's is a sad tale. The new synthetic aromatics are not good. I unfortunately will do no more business with them. Sad, sad, sad. I wonder what % of their clientele were NET users?

I am in no need for juice. I still have a year's worth of home brew from many of our fellow NETizens I am working through. I am actually getting bored with NET...not forever, but as an exclusive vape. I might wade into the world of custards

Be careful. The latest concerns on health risks of custardy or buttery Vapes and sweet juices generally is huge. Five Pawns is in all kinds of trouble because of the presence of diketones in its juices.

The presence of dangerous diketones such as acetyl priopynl (sp) and diacetyl is a big topic right now. It seems that he best way to venture into synthetic and sweet Vapes is to check one of the lists floating around of diketone free vendors and juices.

Wade in slow my friend.

Custards?! First Jerms, now BJ... what the hell is going on around here!?

Me too but you know what, it was a fling. I stocked up on bakery and sweet juices. Some are good and some are great but NETs are still my go to. Vaping a custard juice at 50 watts with 3 mg nicotine still doesn't do it for me as much as a good complex NET with a 12 mg throat hit. I've come full circle. Sweet and bakery stuff gets boring after a while.

Nice!!!

What else have you extracted so far?

I have given the old college try to the following with good to great success: {I did not filter my juice real fine and the taste was more forward than most on the market today. I think that has hurt/changed the taste of some original e-juices out there some of the folks here are talking about, IMHO.}

BJ! You just missed the last NETTY awards and all the drama. Actually, it's probably good for you that you missed it because you would have been mad.

I heard. Embarrassing. Read above for my takes on the "winners"

Thanks for the kind words!

yeah Clay's current menu is out of control. I don;t know where to start.

I will never stray from NET but I admit even with a killer stash of home made juice from some of our mentors here I am still getting bored and needs some change ups in the rotation. I am tight with a few custard enthusiasts so will report my findings. To stay on topic here please PM me a reminder to stay in touch re: custards.

My tastes have changed since I first started vaping NETs and the bolder tobaccos I initially enjoyed are no longer my favorites. On the otherhand I find myself going back to some of the earlier NETs I liked such as Big Spirit and Organic Spirit. Who knows — I may circle back to where I started in six months or so. For now I enjoy the milder tobacco flavors plus some tobacco blends but no cigars. I will not go in depth about the tobaccos used and suffice it to say that Clay has a real knack for pairing the right tobaccos with the different flavors.

Teas — I agree with MFToms59 as stated a few pages back — Black Pekoe and SweeTea are my favorites in the tea category. SweeTea is reminiscent of McDonald’s sweet tea sans the tobacco and not quite as sweet. I have not tried the FruiTea. I do like the Yerba Mate. I have had Yerba Mate in tea form so I knew what to expect and I found the Yerba Mate flavor to be true to the tea. Who ever made the Yerba Mate extract was spot on. Yerba Mate taste is hard for me to describe but probably more herbal like, some say similar to green tea. I like this eliquid although it is not an ADV for me. You mentioned you like berries so you may like Red Ruby as it does have a berry taste to it.

Red, White and Blueberry — If you like blueberries Red, White and Blueberry is good IMO. The blueberry is very natural tasting and very much upfront so I do let this one steep for a couple of weeks to let the bluberry calm down and to let the tobaccos come through.

Golden Apple — this is a very natural tasting apple which I do enjoy and it taste like a Delicious Apple to me. This is an easy to vape eliquid IMO due to the Virginia tobacco.

Sour Apple Perique — if you like perique and apple, you will like this. The perique of course adds the ‘sour’ note. Again the apple taste like a Delicious Apple to me.

Grilled Pineapple — the burley adds the grilled/smoky flavor. If it steeps too long, then the burley is much more pronounced so I like to vape this with just a short steep.

Muth’s Mix — I have a bottle of this that I will be taking with me on an extended vacation so I have not tried it yet. I do/did like Coconut (black) Cavendish and always ordered it with extra coconut. Since I am off black cavendish, Muth’s Mix uses a natural cavendish which for me is milder. I ordered extra coconut extract in case I need to add a tiny drop since this will have steeped for a while.

Dat Caramel Brownie In’da Pipe — it has been a while since I had this but I did enjoy it. This is more of a dessert pipe eliquid for me. All flavors and tobaccos were present. A nice treat when looking for a dessert like NET.

Burley Blast — I did like this very much until I ODed on burleys.

NET Custom VA/PE Blend — Same as above until I ODed on perique.

Pure Virginia — This blends uses three different Virginias and I did not find it overly sweet. I enjoy this one for its pure tobacco flavors.

The Gypsy sisters — I have both Gypsy Blonde and Gypsy Brunes however I have not tried them yet. Gypsy Brunes may be the first one I try because I do not believe it has Latakia. I have never vaped Latakia and based on what I have read, this may not be for me.

I am sure there may be a few others I tried of NET.com’s new NETs that I may have left out.

I have three of Clay's going on tonight.
Speaking Spirit. First try of this one. Perique is more forward
Orange Blossom Honey. Mild. Slightly sweet. Getting more honey than orange but, it's still got a ways to go
Shek-el-Bint. Smokey and dark and smooth and mild-ish

Of the new stuff I've got E=mc2, Peaches and Cream, and Oak Cast getting ready.

I'm very very fond of The Minister and Bombay.

As a break and palate cleanser I tried MVJ's Gwendolyn.Gwendolyn, Drink Vapes, MyVapeJuice, LLC
Ginger and anise. Didn't think i'd like it but, once it aged a bit it's very nice and could be all day.

That's all from south Texas

Speaking Spirit is definitely a perique lover's dream come true - me can't do.

Good to see someone with such a wide variety in their tastes. I know mine are changing all the time. I happen to enjoy the blueberry flavor I have as well as the orange honey that I have on hand for a welcome change of pace.

The Orange Blossom Honey knocked me out! Presently I'm getting more honey than orange. Very enjoyable blend. Balanced between tobacco and flavorings.

I will not go in depth about the tobaccos used and suffice it to say that Clay has a real knack for pairing the right tobaccos with the different flavors.

My tastes have changed too. I can't do overly sweet now. I like MVJ's RY4 in the beginning but it's overpowering now. Still a fine blend and maybe with a flavor shot less will do it

Of Clay's I've tried Coconut Cavendish, Grilled Pineapple and Uncle's Blackberry. All are wonderful but, when I ordered I got extra flavor shot so now with reduced appeal of sweet I can only do them in small enjoyable doses.

The same thing with MVJ's Black Honey Peach. Need a lesser shot. Good peach (peach!)

I have a bottle of Peaches and Cream (peaches!) that I'm letting get a little older.

I recently ordered a big bottle of Custom Va/Pe/OrS Blend. This has so much going for it and is dark and complex and multi-layered. I need to get another bottle of the Va/Pe which is simpler but, just as enjoyable.

One I'm really digging is MVJ's MVJ w/Peter Stokkebye Black Currant Cavendish Pipe Tobacco, MVJ with Peter Stokkebye, MyVapeJuice, LLC
Didn't get the extra shot. It's a perfect match and I could do this one all day.

I want to try Clay's teas. Other's teas that I had early on didn't appeal to me. Maybe it's time to try some small samples.

O.k., sorry for the ramble. I really should get to work...since I'm at work now, hehe.

YES I know! Loved it at about 3-4 weeks but put it up to use as a treat and then forgot. Got back to it recently at about 4-5 months and holy moly felt like a gangsta vaping it. Really strong and smokey

Just a suggestion here, when I find an e-liquid has to much sweetness or flavoring I add some straight tobacco juice to it that I like. Add it little by little until your taste buds are happy. It kicks the tobacco flavor up a notch. Try it you may like it. :)
