Let's hear it for DVR!!!!!! :toast: Boy but I love my Hawaiian coffee....aaaahhhhhh

When I finish off my Kauai-Reserve beans I will think fondly of you... And I will look up the show too, sounds cool like the one DogFishHead made for a while :)

Thankfully someone invented the DVR, so I can screw over all the advertisers, hehe. I have not watched more than a few ads in the last 5 years, by either taping ahead of viewing or pausing for a while before I actually sit down to watch a show. Even football games only require you to do something else for about an hour or so to be able to fast forward through all the stupid ads. I know they are onto this problem, but hopefully it will be awhile before they can come up with a way to force me to watch :blink:

My first NET's have finished thier 48 hr cap-off, now they are quietly steeping. I think I can make another week with juice on hand.....
BTW, SkinneyPost once entered a lo-o-ong review of a lot of NETs, anyone remember which page/ post that was ? I should start earmarking some of these posts I like.

re: Gandalf

not a taste review, more a performance review ... I purchased Gandalf a couple weeks ago, initial taste was subtle cherry and that taste has gone away with aging ... I've read it is an extracted pipe tobacco with no flavoring added ... I don't know if the tobacco is macerated or not but they say it is a net

I use a standard 3.0 ohm Boge in a 3.5 ml pyrex tank

Gandalf has not clogged or decreased in flavor or vapor thru 12-15 mls ... that is great performance to me, considering I can only get 5-6 mls of w2v nets thru the same hardware before it clogs beyond use

maybe I just got a couple good Boge carts, but kudos to HHV for their Gandalf filtering ... I've finished a 30 ml bottle using only 2 carts ... I'm on my last tank, using my e-pipe with a booster at roughly 4.7v and the same 3.0 Boge I've used for the last 15 mls

I hope others can get the same performance ... hey, maybe I'm wrong, but HHV Gandalf performs better than most other nets I've tried, using the same hardware ... I hope Huntsman will do as well

I've also used the Boge 801 Fusions, they are quite airy, and have worked ok with Patriot and Vita Bella, altho only 1 tank each

Good to hear because I use DCT,carto's 80% of the time..have been told HHV is clean for nets,still haven't gotten around to ordering from them yet..

I really liked GeJ but did not get near the longevity I needed with my carts or the Vivi for that matter.I'll stick to dripping with them and they are so good especially FC,Wrangler lite...

You won't have any problems with Huntsman either bbb. And I use 100% VG - takes a while longer to steep, but HHV are all easy on the hardware.

Well I have been doing a vape off of Vita Bella and Wrangler Lite and Vita has won. This is where I fill 2 Phoenix XL bottom coils and vape 2 juices, mindlessly, and see what clearo empties first. Only problem with both is that they are a little hard on my gums (too much PG?). Next up in a vape off will be Gandalf #1 vs Gandalf #3.

How long has your Gandy 1 been steeping bappo? I'm about 3 weeks? and still thinks it needs that little bit longer.

Happy Thankgiving Y'all ! Hoping you and yours have a safe and blessed Turkey Day ! And, if there are any other old farts on this thread, I hope you get to spend good times with the kids and grandkids this weekend. I think mine should be here this afternoon/ evening !
And to the younger folks, if you can't make it home today, make time to call. It'll make your folks happy to see/ hear from you.

And now, back on topic; My first order of NETs are steeping. Which would you recommend as first venture into NET vaping- Gandalf, Shadowfax, GA peach T, Heavenly T, or Pirates Booty ? Looking for a mild, flavorful taste reminiscent of my old pipe smoking years.
Your opinions are appreciated on this one, thanks.

GeJ is 50/50. What pg/vg ratio did you order from HHV? Not to presume to know about your personal routine, but if your gums are hurting (I assume that is what you meant by "hard on my gums"), you should go get your numbers checked by a periodontist or the dentist. Gum disease is not a joke! Floss regularly and remember, your gums should not hurt, so if they do, get'em checked out even though it may seem to only be caused by a single source.

Heavenly Tobacco is the only one in that bunch that is not a NET.
It improves with steeping, but doesn't change as much as the NET's.

Er not gums but the inside of my lower lip? I get no tenderness when vaping 100% VG and again no tenderness with HHV 30/70 but GeJ 50/50 and anything 70/30 becomes troublesome. Using a long ming drip tip helps.

Strange. But I would still lean toward getting some answers from a medical professional.
