I would like to respectfully request to any vendors reading this thread, that if you would like to call me regarding anything, that you kindly consult

worldtimezone.com

before doing so.

My father, one of the most brilliant men I have ever known, has still not figured out the whole time-zone business and calls me at 3am ;)

Well I'm all the more anxious to try it now! I had sampled a number of their flavors (non-tobacco of course) at a local vape shop and found them all very good, but none of them compelled me to spend the extra $$$. If their NETs are worthy, I don't mind spending a little extra, though. Love the Christmas sweater, by the way!

Thank you so much! I found it at walmart for $10 and have worn it to every single holiday party I've been to. It's so awful and most people don't know if it's a joke or not. I just act like nothing is up so it confuses them even more.

:laugh: That's a great find, and considerably cheaper than a bottle of Virgin Vapor!

Isn't it funny how the price of everything has become comparable to vaping supplies? A few weeks ago Hermès sent me an email with those three hopelessly seductive words: "Limited Edition Scarf".

I debated and then thought, "man, that's like two years' worth of Dragon's Fire and Vita Bella!"

I didn't buy the scarf:vapor:

Lately, I have been in (somewhat) of a tobacco vaping lull -- insofar as not having anything "new" to look forward to. There was an element or thread -- like a filament -- missing from my collection, but I could not figure out what it was. I knew that chasing more NETs was a waste of time and money, so what was I to do? After Fire Cured, Devil Dog and Blue Grass Burley, I realized that I had fought the good fight, and for now, reached my pinnacle of tobacco extracts -- anything more would just be shadowboxing. I began paying attention to what I have been posting lately and that was the switch that turned on the lights.

I decided to revisit a juice, but more specifically, an ingredient that I had in a safe deposit box waiting for the right time. Tonight was the time and the time proved to be right for Tobacco Haze, which is a tobacco absolute liquid. The juice is old (12/19/11) and I think this specific bottle was gifted to me, though I cannot remember from whom. The first pull (tonight) was akin to those revelatory vaping experiences that so many of us have had. It turned out to not only be exactly what I have been needing, but it immediately added a dimension to my tobacco vaping experience that allowed me to feel completely refreshed and new.

It is odd that an ingredient like TA could make me feel new and refreshed (try it and you'll see why those terms seem contrary to the experience), but I give that credit and honor more to M&P than to TA itself. While I do give the credit to M&P for the ultimate magic of the juice, I am lifting my dismissive view of TA which had previously been mired in alterity. Granted, I will always draw (a necessary) distinction between TA and what we refer to as NETs, but I will not squawk at the idea that some may benefit more from TA. Personally, Tobacco Haze has a sweet, almost, hood gulliness that no straight NET has been able to deliver.

It was a long time ago when I had my first bottle of Tobacco Haze and I did N-O-T like it at the time. This is further proof that not only is vaping and the many aspects of it subjective from person to person, but also, sometimes, with ourselves in relation to time. I probably have vaped so many hardcore NETs over the past few months that TA is just a natural addition, but this still surprised me. I am off to the M&P site itching at the chance to delve deeper, and with some of their juices, itching at the chance to revisit. Thanks to whomever sent me this, and to M&P for providing me with another reason to celebrate my life as a vaper!

Nice, Mann! I love Tobacco Haze! There's something a little odd and slightly perfumey about it, but it really does hit the spot (I've been vaping it too lately, given my currently short supply of Ahlusion tobaccos), and it's got a fairly intriguing flavor. I think TA can be a good thing if it's used judiciously, but all too often it's not. M&P did a good job with this one, and I'm also a fan of their RYO and RYO4 (right up there with GJ4 imho).

And with that...

I tried to like Haze. It had a bit of a cookie aspect to it. But ultimately it and its brother RY4 were just too absolutey for my personal taste. As you all say, a little is good, but M&P crosses my personal threshold of "too much". I didn't like any of their tobaccos instead of Conspiracy (which, in retrospect, might have been the only NET of the bunch).

Mom n Pops = Excellent customer service. They hooked me very quickly indeed! And I loooove Pchelas Poison though that's sorta off topic.

Now back to NETs. My latest vape-off was won by Gandalf #3 over Gandalf #1. Will run the match again in a month to verify. My Gandy #3 (current) is from 10/17 and the cherry notes are almost completely gone leaving a really nice pipey vape with just a hint of cherry. VERY good. Gandy #1 has no cherry notes, is still very good, but I think I like the current version better.
Lately, I've been vaping, equal parts, well aged Gandalf and Serendipity (#s 2 and 3) in a Phoenix bottom coil. I've got a bottle now with them mixed together. Really, really good stuff! I've been thinking that it must be close to what was available in July (OG Original Gandalf). A must try! Especially for the lucky ones that actually got to try it. :blink: You could fool around with the ratios.
BTW... Kanger T3s are 3.99 today. Kanger T3 replacement heads are $2.69, I think. I'll edit this with the Co. name. :blush: Edit: Vaporalley.com $3.00 shipping

Mr Mann's Haze revelation (isn't that an oxymoron?LOL) sent me back to my bottle of Conspiracy which was the only one of Mom & Pop's juices I really liked. As have we all, I have been occupied by other things lately:)

Here is what I wrote about it a few months ago:
RICH. First word that comes to mind when puffing on this blend. The tobacco is very smooth but with great body. It produces great clouds of dense, moist vapor that have me literally licking my lips after each puff. There are no harsh edges to this blend whatsoever. There is vanilla and fresh coconut detectable if you really put your mind to it, but there's also a fresh creamy overtone that is not unlike the equally bodacious Voo's Brew from Copper Creek. Overall though, I just keep relishing that initial WHAP upside the head of rich tobacco.
...
Conspiracy's throat hit at 18mg is on the low side of medium, which surprises me but doesn't disappoint me since I'm not all that concerned with throat hit.
...
It is forward and sexy. If it were a woman, it would be Christina Hendricks. If it were a man, it would be Antonio Banderas.

So it is now a well-aged Conspiracy that beckons from my DCC. Still rich and sexy but it has developed a camphoraceous flavor that verges on the medicinal. Surprisingly, it works in this blend because the underlying structure supports it. A weaker or more poorly-constructed juice would have had me thinking of the stinky ointment I use on sore joints. But Conspiracy doesn't.

Not a frou-frou flavored tobacco at all. It could be a little complicated for a long-term vape but it is an excellent diversion.

Yeah, I should have written that I wasn't suggesting anyone go out and buy it, but that if someone has similar tobacco routines as I, it may be a good option.

I think Haze occupies a really strange niche -- I think it would be appealing to a lot of people who aren't that into tobacco (and I've actually tested this theory a bit), but people who are into tobacco (i.e. people in this thread) will probably find it hit or miss, because it is a bit eccentric. That said, it's a hit in my book! However, I was not a fan of Tobacco Praze. Whereas Haze does an interesting tightrope walk, I found Praze to be similar, but a little more pronounced in some ways and lacking Haze's subtleties.

I've been in the same rut too. About six months have passed while I ordered all NET except Pluid. I branched out a bit and found some awesome eliquids. Hopefully Virgin Vapor and House of Liquid get me out of the rut.

Luce, did you check out Fire Cured?

Good gravy! I'd be overdosing on the first inhale with 32mg! It would be like when I smoked the Rocky Patel Edge cigar too fast. Sweating, nausea, wanting to throw up but can't, and taking every medicine but nothing works.

Yeah, maybe looking for a new juice is the best option! We need you lucid, luce. ;)

I like that idea - got the new Gandalf 1, and getting a hint of vanilla and caramel, but so far no sense of coffee and chocolate popping in and out of the mix. However, I do have the too much extract Gandalf that was renamed Serendipity - nearly black in color! So a few drops in the tawny Gandalf 1 may do the job. Nice thinking Nomo!
