One of my latest extracts was Borkum Riff Honey & Orange. Very tasty and well balanced. Another surprise was McBarens Danish Burley. I wasn't expecting much from a bottle I traded for but it was so good I extracted my own.

Kayfuns and sub-ohm vaping has brought out a lot of flavor from juices I had given up on. The rda coils from Kanger are pretty good too.

I've been playing with a Pirate Flag RDA and have a Velocity and Square Bullet on the way. Both have slots wide enough for ribbon Kanthal so it doesn't crimp. Many experiments with that in the future.

I was incensed at P Busardo's latest video of the N.J. Vape meet. Both sides were so condescending to that intrusive Senator and his State lackeys. They should have thrown them out as it was a private affair. Why do we all keep laying down and taking it from these posers. No one feels empowered because they think they're alone. We're not and we should join together and put our foot down.

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. :)

Whelp, there ya go! Coconut Cavendish With a dollop or three of Black Cavendish and it smooves it right out.
Thanks man!

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.

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.

I knew I would forgot some. Yes, I have tried the orange blossom honey— very nice.

Speaking on how our tastes change, about ten months or so ago I tried RBFS Caven Fever which is a black cav. It tasted weak and watered down to me in comparison to NET.com Black Cavendish and I didn’t care for it. Today I might like it better however it went down the drain months ago. Lesson learned — don’t throw anything out!

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

I generally find with the flavored NETs that if I want to taste the flavor more than the tobacco, then it is a very short steep. For a more blended taste (flavor + tobacco) I steep longer.

NEVER throw out a NET, well, unless it is a year or more old. They can change, and your tastes can change....

That's my Catch 22 with NETs. I like to let them sit for quite awhile. That means I order in advance so the next bottle will be ready. So, as far my tastes, except for sweet, haven't changed that much. I still like the darker, fuller blends. I have some now that should really be rockin' by Thanksgiving.

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.
That is a great review of NET tobacco extracts! Like you my taste changes over time and sometimes go back. I'm vaping pure Virginia as I type this and have a bottle of organic spirit seeping a bit longer to try again, used to be one of my favs but now it's pure Virginia. Also trying some non nets these days I have some decent watermelon lol.

What the hell they picking holes in it for?! That's really a bummer and yeah that's the most expensive of Clays juice. Sorry buddy.

Thanks.

I have no proof that is what happened. But I'm a hobbyist glass artist, and many friends have lost pieces of work in shipping to very similar holes. It is widely believed that USPS mechanically "probes" packages deemed suspicious. Personally, it's difficult for me to believe that this was just a handling error. But then again, living in a police state tends to make one suspicious.

Priority Mail is insured for $50.00. You could try a claim. In my experience it takes 4-6 months and it's 50/50 whether you'll prevail. Showing it was packaged in a reasonable manner helps.

How does NET Tobaccos taste ? Is it way better than tobacco flavored eliquid ?
Taste like tobacco without the tar :) way better if you want real tobacco flavor. vaping NETs MAY have more risks but far far less than smoking.NETs can satisfy an ex smoker like myself far more than Nic alone in flavored juice. I vape both during the day.
