So as many of you know I fell off the NET wagon...well, kind of. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I am back to vaping tobacco about 90% of the time. It was fun, but it's time to come home -- it's just that I will be bringing some other NETeas (Tez quote) with me. My signature, however, is just as relevant vaping NETs and NETeas -- thank the LAWD!

I am not sure I can dig fruit tea as much as NET's, but I will give it a shot when I finally get my Ahlusion order in. But your post did make me think of a new mission for you... Does anyone make straight extracted teas? I think the complexity of tea leaves is on par with tobacco, so there would be a lot of similarities, IMO. And would "sniffing" tobacco be on par with reading tea leaves?

Sidenote: My love of tobacco flavors comes from the same place as my love of single malt scotch, micro-brewed beer and home roasted single origin coffees ;)

I only dabble in leaf teas, but that is the coffee's fault, not mine, haha.

ok, glad that i found this, i tried goodejuice vita bella, and there is something about ALL of their juices that makes them better IMO, there is another flavor of theirs that has a smoky taste to it,that is really pleasing. Now to the bad... I ordered ECblends RY4555, and in the order it said let it steep, so I let it steep, for like 2 weeks, tried it, was turned off so bad that i thought I had lost the taste for tobaccos.... ok, so 2 more weeks later I am going through my juices and decide to try it again, when I vaped it I got a vanilla celery... yes.... vanilla celery, the flavor is still with me, and it is unpleasant. My boyfriend whoI think has no tastebuds thought that it tasted like icecream...... So, I would recommend that you only get a 5ml, and do not put allyour eggs in 1 basket. Now their other flavours are good enough,it was just this one that was PU.

I am really liking the HHV Dark Horse tonight... It is refreshingly different than the other tobaccos from HHV. It doesn't have the same "trademark" silky, creamy mouth feel that the others do, with Huntsman being a slight exception to that generalization. Don't get me wrong... That creaminess is pretty sweet.

I kind of liked Dark Horse too. Mostly because I found nothing complex about it. Very simple, straighforward, light, earthy tobacco. Huntsman is the same way but with more punch, if you will. Like you, I find it a refreshing change now and again.

Outside of Ahlsuion? I am not sure. They do go through a process that extracts out all of the allergens (tannin and caffeine), so they are NOT doing some simple soak of tea leaves in a solution. I like buying with confidence! Just ask Wlad for a paired down tea juice and that's what you will get.

To me, buying tobacco or "tobacco" juices is like buying tires: be careful of where you buy them from. :D Congrats on finding some good juice.

I will try what he offers first, since without even trying his juice, I already trust him as a vendor... Is that possible, hehe. But I was wondering that exact thing... Ordering the tea juices and asking him to skip the flavoring portions, like oolong without the mint, etc. Thanks for the heads up :toast:

Oh yeah, I am totally averse to all things mint or menthol. Dude, if you have tried, or better yet, appreciate oolong tea, give their Ginger Orange Oolong a go -- the ability to capture the specific complexity of oolong is beyond amazing. Wlad makes juices that I will buy, not to add to my stash necessarily, but just to taste. Does that say anything?

Skinnie, about a month ago I made my own cigar juice by dismembering a Montecristo, covering it with PG and VG, and simmering it overnight in a slow cooker for three nights. I filtered it four times through paper coffee filters and the result was actually pretty darn good. I keep tasting it for "quality" before I bottle it LOL.

I was so flush with the success of this experiment that I tried the same thing with some Dilmah Estates Darjeeling. It was revolting. I had to toss it. I might try again with some other varietals, or even some ginger. I am definitely going through one of my "mad alchemist" phases:D

I will write that one down, and heck yeah I have had oolong :)

You sort of hit the nail on the head with buy to taste... I enjoy some fruit flavored tobaccos, and I mean flavored after extraction or totally flavored (including tobacco), but can only vape 1ml or less a week. I imagine his flavored teas are great, but I also think that I might actually enjoy going thru a few mls a week if they were plain, you get what I am saying dude?

And yes I am a dude, haha.

I remember reading about your tobacco experiment, but didn't know you had hit up the teas too, cool... My wife would kill me if I cooked tobacco in the kitchen, she digs me roasting coffee, but that is because she drinks it too, haha. I will have to wait until it warms up again here in Wisconsin, so I can use the crock pot in the garage.

Look, I am just going to flat-out say that Caramel Pear Black Tea is not only doggone tasty, but it is a helluva(n) experience to vape. I did EN OH TEE expect that juice to hit me the way it did -- that speaks to the mix mastery wizardry of that guy Wlad! It is so elegantly balanced with this bold effect that it truly does defy description. Don't think "pear", though it is there; don't think "caramel," though it's there; don't think black tea -- just remember that some things need to be experienced. You may or may not like it of course, but if you don't, you will have ZERO problems getting rid of it. Those juice don't loose their value, especially considering it will be pre-steeped.

I love Oolong. I am drinking it right now. Mine comes from the Asian shop and is packed in those nifty little pyramid-shaped tea bags. At home I do loose tea but at work this is much neater.

Mr Scarf-ace's Xmas gift is going to be this special teakettle I found that actually has special buttons for 'white tea', 'green tea', etc. and heats the water to whatever is the best temperature for the type you have chosen.

Have you read Eleanor's review on Ahlusion's oolong tea?

Sold, haha

I am sure I would like it enough to finish... The only things I have found that I can't stand so far are 555's and coffee flavors. I should have never tried the coffee flavors in the first place, since I actually still drink the stuff most of the day, and there is no way they could compare to the stuff I roast, muahaha.

I will try most anything out there that has no menthol or mint in it, but I know that for me to really like it... It needs complexity like a NET or extracted product (tea). And by complexity, I don't mean adding 8 "flavors" to the same bottle of juice and then trying to figure out what is in it, haha.

I abhor 555!

p.s. "And by complexity, I don't mean adding 8 "flavors" to the same bottle of juice and then trying to figure out what is in it, haha." I could not have said it better than that myself. I call it "kitchen sink juice."
