Hey all
I have been tracking this thread for the last month, and have actually read every post, haha… Figured it was about time I contributed. I will keep this post to the point, NET reviews… But also figure that I can get to know, and joke with you guys in the coming days, posts, threads, future, etc.
Basically I am going to cut and paste from a Word doc that contains all of my NET and other tobacco related notes… But first a little background. All of the juices that I have tasted were steeped for at least 2 weeks or more prior to recording my subjective thoughts. They were all tasted on a 2.0 ohm atty at between 6-8 watts to try and experience a range of flavors. Also, if they are on this list, I liked them and would potentially buy more (i.e. the misfire orders are not included, but noted to self elsewhere)… I suck at the number rating thing. So here goes…

That’s all I got so far… I am still adding notes as I get to know these juices better, and of course this is totally subjective and based on the opinion of my tongue/nose … Especially considering that NETs are unlike standard juices, due to the fact that tobacco carries many subtle nuances and notes with it that you don’t find in other flavorings. Next on the list are GoodeJuice and Ahlusion, and anything else you guys throw out there that sounds good.
Huge thanks to everyone that has contributed to this thread… You were a big help in my quitting process, and I have now been clean for over a month and a half. I knew I would never be able to do it with desserts and sweets, but I quickly found out that most pseudo-tobacco flavors might actually be even worse. Some of the tobacco flavors are good, but not any of the ones that tried to be straight tobacco; at least that I have tried… Only the ones that were flavors on top of a tobacco
flavored base were any good.
Peace,

P.S. Hopefully I didn't totally mix up my reviews, because reformatting from Word to BBC is a PIA...
Sidenote: Here are a few other things I am interested in other than vaping… Architecture, micro-brewed beers (hops are my friend) and single malt scotch (especially coastal or islay), home roasted coffee, and the great outdoors. And most importantly kicking it with my 2 year old daughter who was my inspiration to quit smoking
Addendum: For clarification... Flavor in my notes means that it was probably a flavoring added to the tobacco prior to extraction, i.e. a lot of cavendish pipe tobacco, and notes mean it tasted like it might have been a flavor that naturally occurred in the tobacco.
