Easy to esplain (as Jerms asks): First off, Shatner sent me a sample of it, and I was hesitant to try it because it did mention a Peanut flavor to it. But Shatner insisted that he couldn't taste any nut to it. So I tried it. I noticed the nuttiness to it, that slight hazelnut wafer type flavor found in many cookies, wafers. It's light, mixed well with the tobacco and is then dripped in chocolate. There is a lot going on in H1N1, and the nuttiness is more of a characteristic note, not a SCREAM: LOOK AT ME -- I"M A NUT/PEANUT/PECAN, etc like Prime 15 SCREAMED salted peanuts.

It's not something I could vape consistently, or an ADV. I would not order it, because it's not in my flavor profile. I will end up finishing the bottle... someday (10ml).

H1N1 gave me a great indication on how well Nicoticket's juices are mixed, made and presented and made me a fan of Kent Brooks, and Nicoticket -- from sampling and reviewing a juice I won't order :) But Nicoticket IS a quality vendor, and Clark Kent Brooks is a master mixologist. I pray that his next tobacco, which has been whispered to being worked on, is nut free. That would make me happy :)

I hear ya clucking big chicken.

Yeah I noticed peanut when I tried it fresh, but had a feeling the nut may actually work for me here. Couldn't tell for sure, I could see it going either way.

I'm a fan of the company too. I have 5 bottles from them that are well steeped and ready to get to know. They are all good and will be easy to finish, just how much I'll like them remains to be seen. I see on the site they have their famed Frenilla for a limited time on the menu, may have to pick that up while I can.

I'm hoping to try a few soon as well. I'm trying to stock up on tank-able, workday juices. Recently I won some Quack's Goose Juice and it is very tasty vanilla custard type juice, plus EleanorR sent a few small bottles from QuickNic of their vanilla custard and cake and all were good, and addictive ;) I think I could possibly drop down to 18mg without too much problem (would probably vape more of it in a tank)... but I'm still hesitant to pull the trigger on lower nic, which is keeping me from ordering from Nicoticket. I'll know this weekend :)

Hi guys & gals,

I've deeply enjoyed reading through several hundred pages of this thread, and while I meant to finish it all, I just got too excited to start with NETs and the noob questions. Please pardon those in advance, as I am less than 3 weeks into vaping, and it was only about 2 days ago that it occurred to me that I should stop looking for analog tasting juices. I've enjoyed more than a few fine cigars in the past, but would hardly consider myself a connoisseur of that or pipes like some of you. Nevertheless, I have made notes (based on your posts) and a list of those I'd like to try --

- London, Louisville, Acid Blondie, Tabac Especial, Cold Infusion & Managua (best cigar), Red Pirate, RY4 (reverse steeper)

- Patriot, Wild Turkey (reverse steeper), Wrangler Red, Organic Tobacco, Vita Bella, GJ4

- Bluegrass Burley,Devil Dog (like a cleaner London), , Gold Rising (RY4), Smooth Criminal

- Huntsman (less sweet), Legend (Gandalf), Shadow (shadowfax), Pirates Booty, Oompa -(try 70pg/30vg per Mr. Mann or maybe not at all considering the Mann-gate episode of being sold yellow water)

- Bacco - BWB

- Balkan, Black Cavendish, Chris’s Blend -- NETcom

- Apache, Fullflake RY4, Americano, Hey Jack --- MOV

- Grandpa’s Night Cap - quicknic

- Organic VR4 -- vaperite

Of all these, I think I will start with GeJ since I have a nice coupon and also would like to order a sigelei zmax v5 too (I'm still on a pair of joyetech 650mah ego C's, but have already discovered dripping on some joye LR 306 atty's).

I was thinking of Vita Bella, Patriot, Wild Turkey, and GJ4 to start my journey. What are your thoughts on those for a noob, and in what Pg/Vg ratios? I really like Boba's so far, but have a few 70pg/30vg juices that produce fine vapor for me. More or less I need more throat hit overall and some more taste would be nice. I feel like I am smelling all these vapors, but not really tasting anything - I hope that having a vv/vw device will help with this.

To date, I've only had a few too sweet and artificial tobaccos from Timeless Vapors, but I do like Sin Tobacco, and their RY4. I also have had Hangsen USA Mix, Highway T5, Turkish Blended, DK-Tab, and RY6. I think I liked the USA mix and DK-Tab the best, but they were all pretty mediocre but what do you want for $3 for 10mls.

I very much look forward to having something of significance to say other than asking noob questions and being overly enthused!:banana:

Welcome! Love seeing the new people pop in lately.

Yeah, I think those GeJ would be a great way to start!

To add a couple corrections to your notes on possible future orders..

For W2V: Acid Blondie is now listed as The Blond, Tabak Especial is now listed as Coffee-Infused Cigar, and Cold-Infusion is listed as CI Cigar.

For GeJ: There's no longer a Wrangler Red, but there is a Wrangler light.

For Ahl: Gold Rising isn't an RY4 so don't expect that. Yes, it mentions RY4 in the description but it's really a honey tobacco.

Nothing wrong with noob questions and being overly enthused! Some of us like to pretend that we're helpful at times and I'm still overly enthused about NETs lol.

Welcome. As Jerms already point a few time-induced corrections to the massive reading material that is this thread, I won't repeat it.

Per Goodejuice, they use a flat 50/50 ratio for their NETs, and it works just fine. Wild Turkey left me cold, and I much prefer Acadian GOLD, Organic #1 and the Analog. Vita Bella, Patriot and GJ4 are all spot on, solid and special -- fantastic first choices!

Thank you so much Jerms! I made those corrections in my notes. Boy, it's sometimes very hard to keep up with all the name changes and acronyms when you're new:oops:

What about the pg/vg ratios for the GeJ's? I'm pretty much too new to have a preference, but I am planning on mostly dripping these...

Thanks Jef - I didn't realize that they already come in the 50/50 mix - my bad. I was just thinking the Wild turkey because I used to smoke camel turkish silvers, and you can vape it right away (from what I've read here), and I don't have many juices I like at the moment. Is the Arcadian, organic, or analog ready to go from the mail and that much better in your opinion than wild turkey?

I should clarify that I am not really needing or looking for an analog like vape any longer, but I certainly wouldn't be opposed to a very interesting one.

Let me make it harder for you :)

I haven't tried all of the GEJ juices. From the ones I tried, here's my list:

Must Haves:
Organic #1: pipe like, ready to vape
Patriot: pipe like, ready to vape

Good to have:
GeJ4: pipe and somewhat sweetish cigarette with "maple", ready to vape
Natural Perique: very unique savory tobacco, steep 3 weeks at least

If you like mint:
Grasshopper: pipe like, ready to vape but cacao comes out more with steeping

Have fun :)

jefsview, BTW, have you tried the Grasshopper? What did you think?

I've only had one session with it, so the jury is still out. ;)

I had a nasal cold when it came in, so I couldn't exactly trust my senses. But the cold has receded a bit, and I have some nice micro-coils built in my RDAs, so it's time I tried it again.

First impression was favorable -- nothing off-putting, and I thought I tasted more than one mint flavoring at the time, which was surprisingly nice, making the juice more complex than simply cocoa and mint over tobacco :) It reminded me of Virginia type tobacco, too.

I'll try it again tomorrow and update you :)

All of Goodejuice's liquids are good out of the mailbox. Patriot, for me, doesn't change much. Vita Bella and Organic #1 (burley blend, smoky, robust with slight sweetness and underlying flavors) both improve with steeping. Acadian Gold is wonderful, smooth slightly sweet blend, and Analog is more complex, higher sweetness than Acadian GOLD and just has a very satisfying flavor impact.

Wild Turkey is reported to be a reverse steeping and is a dry Turkish blend that is more pipe than Camel and which I found rather bland. Humpback and Godz'nilla from QuickNic were more Camel-like to my tastebuds.

My initial GeJ order was Patriot, Organic #1, Wild Turkey, Vita Bella and Wrangler Light. Patriot is fantastic, but it was more cigar to me than cig and it's BOLD. Organic #1 was the clear winner, Vita Bella second, Wrangler Light 3rd and Wild Turkey collecting dust. I keep going back to it trying to find something there, but it's still rather reedy to me.

As it steeps, the cocoa notes pick up some more. When I vaped it first, it was more mint and a whiff of cocoa. Both of these notes come out as tasting very natural which makes the vape pretty pleasant.

Ok - one last question before I pull trigger. Should I get these in 18mg? I've been mostly on 24mg, and have had found a few in 18mg a little lacking in throat hit. Now that could be because of my weak noob setup - which will soon change at the end of the week.

What do you recommend? I know there may be a bit more nicotene in the NET's which is why I'm asking...

I would hate to get a ton of juices in 18 and have them be too light, but I also don't want to blow my head off with the 24 if they are more like 30+ due to being NETs.

Dammit I couldn't wait lol. I caught the bug hard like I did with building a bbq smoker earlier this year. I think I've now smoked just about everything that once breathed at this point. Back on topic.

I bought a zmax v5, a bunch of joye 306 attys and accesssories and -

30ml 24mg - Vita Bella
10ml 24mg - Analog
10ml 24mg - GJ4
10ml 24mg - Patriot

I really hope these turn out awesome. From what I can tell, the only ones that really need to steep now is Vita Bella - right? So just take the cap off for 48hrs in the cupboard, cap and shake daily, then test it weekly -- right?

Vita Bella is good out of the mailbox... but many say it gets better and better with age. Never be afraid to try a new juice right away. If it doesn't taste "right" or vapable, then let it steep. Taste is subjective and many folks here like some things fresh, and some things 5 months down the road.

Some don't like it even after 6 months. :D
