I was just sniffing around for companies that made NETs. Looked at one (Vapes4You), apparently a European company. They made it a point to say they use naturally extracted ingredients so I look and saw only six juices. Which is fine. But the first one is called U.S. Red and their angle is it tastes just like a real cigarette (obviously trying to piggyback on the Marlboro success). Is it just me or are there others who are immediatly turned off when a vendor desperately tries to convince me they have an exact cigarette vape? A) I don't know anyone who ever has come close to a real cig, B) I don't want a real cig. As soon as I read that description, I was gone.

I might be a novice at vaping but but please allow me a moment; Marlboro, Marlboro Lights, Cherry Blend/ Apple (out of PA) mixture w/ occaisional Phillies, Merit, Marlboro Lights, Admirals Choice Vanilla Cavendish/ Cherry Cavendish mixture w/ occaisional imported D.R. cigars (and a Fuents y Fuentes Christmas treat), Doral menthol, Doral Menthol Lights. 40 years of Tobacco. FORTY YEARS of that stinkin' weed. The reason I've become curious of NETs is memories of some of the mild cigar and flavored pipe tobaccos I've enjoyed. There is NO WAY I'd want a 'Marlboro' vape, or any other analog flavor. I really don't know about all this, heck, for all I know NETs might all taste like unsweetened chocolate to me ! (hope not). But I have TOO MUCH experience with the 'real thing', Thank God for Vaping, and thank you all for helping me FINALLY quit that stinkin' weed. That concludes this Sunday Morning Rant from this old man !:ohmy:

Transplanted Terrapin, actually. About 12 years ago my kids all moved near Monroe NC and started making grandbabies. Guess where Mamaw wanted to be ? Moved down here 11 years ago, no regrets...

Can't blame Mamaw. I'm sure she didn't have to twist your arm either. Yes, I'm a transplant to NC myself (by way of ChiTown). 15 years in Wake Forest. Love it. Trying to figure out what road you're on. Looks like NC 51 headed north towards the VA border.

Ha...I know. I laughed over that one too. I think they offer only one PG/VG ratio too. I can't remember. I saw the Marlboro, Winston, and Camel knockoffs and I was outta there. :)

It is fun to see how some of them name their knockoffs. Silly names like Marksbro,
Winstone, Kamelot

Oh, I don't know...Winestones and Kramwels have their place, but nothing beats a good ol' Marlblow red!

The problem with a majority of those juices that have copy cat names is that it tells you nothing about the juice. All it does is bank a slew of customers who previously had an allegiance to a brand. Granted, "Gollum" or "Patriot" tells you nothing in name, but the description does; however, when the description says "a take on a popular brand?" Really? That's deep. No thanks.

LOL. Not to mention that Gollum and Patriot don't try to advertise themselves as cigarette brands.

Titan Vapors released a couple extracts that were supposedly from actual Marlboro cigarettes. I was reviewing their artificial tobaccos, which were not tasty, and told them about extraction. They emailed me to tell me about their new product. They charge $4.65 for 3ml. I emailed to see if they made a mistake on their site. Never got an email back and the price never changed.
