Natural Tobaccos

[NoMoreTequila]

Watcha talkin bout Willis?

"New Gandalf" is my favorite, and would be the first juice I would suggest in this case. No way I would rule it out like that. Please respect my ADV dude!

Ya Voltron, "New Gandalf" has really grown on me too as it has steeped or aged. I believe a lot of folks owe it to themselves to revisit it and Serendipity as well. IMO they are both incredibly pure and smooth. I think the controversy has been vastly overblown! Different extraction times and juices change over time. Pretty simple.

Hardy har har! That's why I said, "based on the type of flavors you seem interested in...." Yo V, please respect the caveat.

..... I'd love to hear your honest reevaluations on some of the HHV NETS that you have routinely dismissed as of late. BTW I accidently mixed Shadowfax with Wrangler Light recently. Unbelievably good! Who'd of thought?

I agree Mr, M. Everyone leave Huntsman alone. Hah!

I haven't tried Huntsman yet but it definitely will be in my next order from HHV.

I bought a quart each of 100% Kosher/Food Grade PG and VG from Amazon today (delivered)! 26$!!! That's over 64x30ml.. I'm not sure what I'll pay for Nicotine solution but the 12 brown glass bottles w/glass dropper caps were less than 1$ apiece (15ml). I'm ready to try my hand at cooking! 35$ in, so far. It might be fun!

I just ordered nicotine solution from Wizard Labs. John spent 20 minutes on the phone with me and I came away with a good bargain and some new knowledge. Good guy! They have 30ml of 36mg Ultra Pure nic solution (PG/VG or mixed) for 1.95! Limit 1 per. He told me that it consistently tests at over 100% pure since the test has a plus/minus .1% margin of error. Very cool! I also got 120 ml of 100mg solution at a lowly 99.8%. Edit: Let the games begin!

I don't get why they only take orders when they are open. I guess it keeps them from getting back logged but damn, every time I try they are offline (they are open when I am either working or in class). When I finally get a chance to order some it better be awesome after the hassle it is going to be for me to place an order. ha

Honestly, I would say don't bother. Ahlusion is not for everybody, just as no other vendor is, and if you have been doing just fine without them, continue. (Not trying to be a wise guy.)

hahaha! You know what's funny? If I was to post my actual feelings as opposed to what I think others would like, you may see that I am not being dismissive, though I could. Once again, I was suggesting based on Karla's likes, that's all.

p.s. Karla, I am not ever just suggesting to you what I like. I know your experience with VS and TPR and I have had all of those juices. I was suggesting based on nothing other than what I thought would work for you.

 

[gthompson]

I'll confirm Mann always tries to suggest what he thinks you'll like, not what he likes. He will be glad to tell you what he likes though.

 

[Mr.Mann]

Karla, I think you may also like Vermillion River. Try Kentucky Amaretto Blend. That's a juice I've had that could exist in a stash next to TPRs juices. If you like TPRs Marlboro type, you would possibly also enjoy Dark Horse from HHV, or Backo from BWB.

p.s. If you don't like Vermillion's juice, you can send it back for a refund or exchange within the first 10 days. Yep, I said it.

Genuine Cuban goodness.

Well, ima eventually gonna figure out how to get bad pics off in edit.
What's in the mason jar? Cuban Churchill, pg, everclear...
I'll let u know how this turned out in several weeks.

 

[devlindchi]

You could also ask one of us to order for you, and drop ship to you. That should work just fine.

Thank you, maybe I will ask if I can't find time after my finals

Yeah I was being sarcastic about needing it being awesome. I am trying to find a few more flavors I can ADV, right now my RY4v2 is my first choice, and my JC Domestic and TC are my second and third that I can ADV. Still up in the air about gandalf, I am hoping the cherry flavor subsides a little, but I tried it out of the package so it has now been sitting for 5 days and I will let it sit for another week before I try it again.

 

[scarf-ace]

Nomo and Wootze, enjoy! I just want to make it clear, I still love my standbys from all the wonderful vendors we discuss here. But the cooking process is fun and works out amazingly well. My chocolate RYO juice has turned out SO DAMN GOOD, y'all are going to enjoy it very much.

One thing I did want to add about extracting teas... Tea leaves absorb a lot more moisture than tobacco does, so to compensate it is best to start off with more liquid. Otherwise straining and separating gets to be a bit messy and wasteful. With my T2 Honey Almond Oolong that I just put up, it involved putting on disposable latex gloves and squeezing handfuls of the leaves. Ick

 

[LongDraw]

So I do want to retract previous statement. Today I vaped a little Fired in Georgia and now trying Devil Dog again. There is a definite distiction between the two. I'm not sure what it is, but there is some tobacco in DD and BGB that just really stands out and hits the spot for me, though I think I notice this "something" more in BGB.

I wonder if an oversized syringe would help for the next round? Like this one, used for feeding cattle and stuff... Holds 140cc of liquid...

Skin, what part of the process would you use that for? I was talking about the straining part where I dumped the VG-sodden leaves into the paper-lined funnel. The leaves were holding on to the liquid and not releasing it downward. I had to squeeze hard to get the liquid flowing.

(I'll take "Things that sound really filthy when taken out of context" for $500, Alex. LOLOL. )

 

[Mr.Mann]

Huntsman, to me, was always the sleeper and the more sincere tobacco.

You could put the saturated tea leaves in there and squeeze them out without getting your hands dirty, haha... Even though I can imagine it might have actually been fun squishing them around

It would be sort of like a French Press, but with a hole for the liquid to come out of... And since I just thought of that... A French Press might actually work too. Just throwing ideas out there, since I think the whole process sounds like so much fun, but sadly I didn't have the funds this month to get started, so my inner mad scientist will have to wait until the new year. Plus by then you will have worked out all of the kinks

 

[scarf-ace]

Actually a French Press is a great idea! I'll have to pick one up and dedicate it to the cause. I had been thinking about vacuum cleaner filter bags but your idea is much more practical.

I got vape mail today! I received want2vape Stockholm and Paris, Myvapejuice My Hero Tobacco and Vanilla tobacco, and Mountain Oak Virginia Flake RY4. Want2vape is already on the classifieds. VF is extremely sweet. My Hero Tobacco is actually a really good mild NET. Haven't hit up vanilla yet but will report in when I do!
