Also, for a strong tobacco, HoL Puros Naturales can work. It is behind FC which is behind DD. in terms of strength,, but it is assertive and quite clear.

Think I will have to go with the Devil Dog then, and maybe the bluegrass. If the Hol Puros is behind fire cured and devil dog may not take the step back in flavor strength.

I tend to start having difficulty tasting flavors after 1-2 mls of juice. Works out well in the cobra because it holds about 2.5 mls, so it is usually about time for a clean and refill.

Puros Naturales is different. Puros is not light at all, and its flavor is actually stronger, but the its tobacco presence is not as frontal. I know I am going in circles so I will just ask if I can send you a sample. I actually have not vaped an NET like PN.

p.s. PN has a hefty TH that is on par with, if not heftier than some of those other stronger tobacco flavors.

I really like the way PN performs too -- great thumpin' throat hit and plumes of vapor! It's pretty clean too.

That would be very much appreciated and thoughtful, but nothing to really pay it forward with. Will put it on my list of to try, actually a short list since I have been picky on what I get and like most of the suggestions people have made. Who is the vendor?

I wholeheartedly agree with this^^^! Go for it, LongDraw!

Haha, gonna look tomorrow morning when they are open and see the price. I noticed the smallest for both is 15 mls.

What they're both saying LongDraw is that they really love Puros but they don't gasp for air like they do after Devil Dog.:evil: I still maintain that DD tastes like whisky. Puros of course is a cigarillo therefore you're going to get a very nice cigar flavor in there...and HoL does use Cuban leaves for what that's worth, (because we English don't have any trade situations going on over there..)

You won't be disappointed. You might be sitting in astonishment, or maybe even spinning in your chair, but you won't be disappointed.

I'm quietly awaiting my HoL shipment, which is due to ship 12/1, but I'm pleasantly pleased with what I currently have to keep me satisfied until then.

Think I will have to go with the Devil Dog then, and maybe the bluegrass. If the Hol Puros is behind fire cured and devil dog may not take the step back in flavor strength.

Based on everyone's thoughts puros will probably be an upcoming order. Seeing as it is across the pond will probably do that order after ahlusion's, and more then likely go large, rather than a sample, due to shipping. Only thing I am hesitant on is that it is 24 mg, where I vape 18mg, and it didn't seem like I could change the mg

Edit: Wow, looking at their site more they have a juice (guera reserve) that they pre steep which includes in an old oak barrel.

A 15 ml is $10 and a 30 is $17, if I'm not mistaken. If you spend $20 or over, you can request a free 10 ml sample (specify flavor, nic, and pg/vg ratio) in the comments box during checkout. Unfortunately Devil Dog and Blue Grass Burley aren't available as samples, but I believe all others are.

Much appreciated. Their prices are pretty good, especially with the sample.

I just wanna chime in to say that I have reaped my first benefits of long-term steeping. Most juices I've had so far have been gone within a week or two. To be honest, they were all so good that I really felt no need to let them steep more than a few days.

Vita Bella was a juice that, although I liked it, I couldn't seem to vape it every day. The half-empty 6ml bottle sat untouched in my closet for two weeks straight. It could've been because I was so immersed in my Ahlusion NET's, which I had received a few days later... Or not. Doesn't matter. What matters is that my Vita Bella got to steep for 3 weeks. It went from a really good juice, to an abso-freakin-lutely amazing juice! Oh my good lord! It's amazing how a juice can change like that. I am now a believer. :nun:

I'm pretty sure now that this little special something is indeed vanilla. In the first week, I really had to hunt for it, and I wasn't even quite sure that's what it was. Now it's right up front and pretty obvious. This flavoring is completely different than the round and robust natural extract used in Ahlusion's Vecchio Blend. In Vita Bella, it seems to be more a candy-like, not-necessarily-artificial-but-possibly-processed vanilla. It has a wonderful sweetness to it, but it's not overboard. And there seems to be a sort of wheaty-ness that has surfaced as well. Something about it reminds me of a popular sugary cereal I used to eat as a kid, but I can't quite pinpoint it yet. I really love how this juice has blossomed. I have another 30ml on the way that I'll be saving until Christmas. I'm about to destroy these last few ml's today!

I will miss you Vita darling. :wub:

Good! Smooth Criminal really grew on me the last few days. I'm really starting to understand it and enjoy it. Actually just ordered some more believe it or not. :)

Whoa! More? Guess what? In another few weeks, you will still be reaping the benefits of the steep. I think it has a max, or peak steepage of about 6 weeks. I am sure newbs (haven't written that word in a while) will read that and be turned off, but it isn't necessary, just very beneficial!

Vita Bella tastes like it has menthol in it to me. I even tried it in a brand new 306, yep menthol. Every juice I ordered from Halo has a slight menthol taste to it and its disgusting.

Okay, I am going to go out on a limb and do some investigative work: How many PVs do you use? Drip tips?

Vita Bella doesn't come from Halo. Or rather, if Halo has a juice called Vita Bella, it isn't the one we're talking about.

OOOOOOHHHHHHH! He/she's talking Bella Valente. Wooh, I thought I was about to fall over.

Simple Mistake. BV (Bella Valente) from Halo and VB (Vita Bella) from GoodeJuice. I looked at the description on the Halo site and I think maybe, just maybe, that was a bit intentional on their part. Vanilla Cigar? Okay,, I get it. However, I still think the menthol part is strange cause no vanilla cigar juice should be mentholated. If you use the same drip tips, or even the same PV that had menthol juices, it can and will transfer. Man, I accidentally got some "green stuff" :)facepalm:) on my battery contact and it actually made the rest of my juices taste of NyQuil for a day.
