I personally don't like spending $6 for shipping. If all vendors did it wouldn't be such a pet peeve of mine, but when I usually get charged between $2 to $3 seeing a jump like that is jarring. I've changed my mind on several orders once I see what they are clipping for shipping. At least W2V still has a great sampler offer that's shipped for free.

If I took this stance, I'd never get any juice.. period! :p

If I always ordered from different countries too my stance would change :p

What's the vape scene in Canada Dusty? Any decent juice vendors, or is it all pepperoni and mac-n-cheese? Any NET vendors? I would imagine you guys have the maple flavor vapes locked down.

Vape scene is pretty good. A lot of juice vendors now, with some of them receiving good reviews on the boards. The problem is that local shipping costs me just as much as international, so I just stick with my favourite vendors.

Interesting, wonder if word will ever come down to this thread of a "must-try" Canadian NET. The only non-US NET vendor ever discussed here is UK's HouseofLiquid, and usually ordered as a group buy.

(You spelt favorite wrong bud ;) )

I haven't heard of a single Canadian vendor attempting to create a NET line. It would be interesting to see that happen though.

Haven't we been over how things are spelled in English?! :)

NudeNicotine order received.. directly into storage (in addition to my current rotation box and newly received/steeping drawer, I'm implimenting a third box of juices that have no chance of seeing the light of day anytime soon).

Free sample; yay! Apple Pie a la Mode; yay! Zero nic; awwww. Will make a good mixer though, Apple Pie a la Mode Tobacco... yessir!

Did you receive your MOV order yet Dusty? Just wondering about your take on the new line.

So far this update: MOV confirmed, in their supplier forum thread, that there is Hazelnut flavoring in Gambler -- so I'm out :( It sounded so good, and then this.

Also, the updated Blue Ridge is being slammed hard on their website review section, so looking for more opinions on it, and not disgruntled lovers of the previous version.

You into coffee tobaccos at all? No hazelnut in Americano.

Yeah, I wouldn't put much stock in the BR slams. People don't like to see their favorite juices changed. I've never had original BR so won't be a concern of mine.

hmmm im wondering how much i like Latakia. when i vape devil dog for extended periods of time, i find the smokiness to be a tad too much. When i switch back to BGB i feel like my tastebuds can breath again lol. I think DD is a true masterpiece, i just tend to puff it in much shorter sessions than honey cured or BGB. I really enjoy smoky notes a lot but i tend to prefer fire cured burley over latakia i think.

BGB is still my favorite ahlusion aromatic. its so good.

I'm still waiting on it. It got to Toronto on the 9th but It hasn't made its way to my mailbox yet..

What I struggle with for myself is why I can't get near the flavor others seem to get with bigger drippers like the IGO-L. A few times I've made a build that I thought was close, but turned out to be false hope. Maybe the Trident I have coming will work for me, but I have a feeling it will collect dust with the rest of my large drippers. I get better flavor from a standard atty than an IGO-L, and better flavor from small drippers than anything.
The trident really doesnt do much in the flavor dept. its not bad but i just get more flavor out of my a7 mini or a rebuilt BCC. The trident looks really great and creates tons of vapor, but if your getting it for flavor i doubt youll find it much different than an igo-L.

Yeah, the only advantage the Trident has over the Igo-L is that you can choose air flow options as well as dual coil it..

R41 vs K28 test two: ACID Blondie extracted NET.

No noticable differences for me. Blondie makes for an extemely dry vape. Not much in the way of sweetness or typical flavoring; mainly spice, incense and floral mixed with a dry cigar tobacco. So far it seems while Rene mutes certain sweeter notes, it doesn't add the odd not Nichrome does for me. Overall, the NET is cleanly represented with R and K. For me to start using R, I'll need to notice an improvement in flavor, so test 2 is also a miss for me.

(This is kind of fun, thanks again for the chance to test with this John!)

Thanks, yeah kind of what I'm expecting. Tis a shame, gold plating, would have looked awesome with my brass mechs. Sadly, looks don't matter if it's just collecting dust.

Since the only issue with these big drippers is a large chamber doesn't offer the flavor of a small chamber, I should try making some sort of chamber reducer to block the space in the half of the atty I don't use. Alas, I'm not very handy. If chamber reducers were sold, I would buy them.

I vaped GeJ Natural Perique yesterday after steeping for 22 days. Wow! It was like seeing a beautiful topless Scandinavian woman at the beach for the first time :) Great experience!

GeJ Natural Perique:
Days since arrival: 22
Nicotine level (mg/mL): 6
PG/VG: 50/50
Bottle size (mL): 12
Equipment: Halo Triton 2.4 mL tank and Triton VV
Tobacco impact: Medium
Overall weight: Medium
Throat hit: Light to medium
Aromas and flavors: Fresh baked bread, cedar, leather, stewed tomatoes, seaweed, hint of Natural cigar wrapper
Dimensions: 4
Notes: Very very interesting, complex and savory vape! A must try for vapers especially who like fermented/funky flavors in stinky cheeses, kimchi etc.. It's not that strong or stinky but it is a very unique fermented tobacco experience. It needs to steep at least three weeks...

Been wondering about the new ones at MOV too, but I'm kindof on the fence. Would really appreciate a little guidance here.

I've tried both the net and synth version of the ry4... Loved the former, hated the later. To me, the synth version tasted like perfume. Also noticed the same for the 555.

So now I see the synth's have been reformulated.. For those of you who have tried them, are they drastically different than the previous version, or just slightly different? I'm trying to gauge whether or not they would still come across as tasting perfumey to me.

You're very welcome! I am glad to see your thoughts on the R41. I did notice some differences with it but not enough to run it all the time. It seems to develop a carbonized taste to me after prolonged use. N26 is definitely a better choice for dibby crack coils.

Each new synthetic is made with a different tobacco recipe so I can't speak for all, just the one I have which is Americano. In this case, yes, the difference between the old Tennessee Original tobacco (TNO) and the tobacco flavor here is night and day. Absolutely no perfume, tangy, chemical, or artificial tasting notes. The feel is closer to an authentic cig than artibacco flavoring.
