I seem to remember reading that as well. Every ingredient listed is natural (almond, blueberry, vanilla, cream, ect.) but tobacco is always just "tobacco flavoring". He doesn't even claim natural on those.

When Highbrow first appeared, I asked about those flavorings statements on the ingredient page for the same reason, the seemingly incongruous lack of specificity about the tobaccos when every other flavoring was thoroughly define. I can't quote the exact response Highbrow offered, but it was something to the effect of, "It's a legal thing our lawyer insisted on." That was so long ago---almost a year---that I can't remember if Highbrow confirmed that the tobaccos were natural, or NETs, or not. My best recollection is that the tobacco flavorings were confirmed as natural extracts, but that info didn't go into deep memory storage, since I passed on their other tobaccos juices. Now it's 2/3 brainfog.

Brian, I believe is his name, confirmed to me that his tobaccos are in fact natural and not flavoring. The tobaccos I have had from him, however, were not actually what I would consider "special" or even average. I realized after trying some of his tobaccos that flavor trumps actual ingredients -- I would take an artificial TINO juice over his purported NETs any day. This is just my opinion and I don't mean to dismiss his products, it's just that his tobaccos, natural or not, were forgettable on a good day.

"All of our tobacco flavors have extraction as an ingredient but our French Pipe and Cigar flavors are a bit heavier with this lovely ingredient." That was a response I got from Brian at HighBrow from earlier this year.

If I wanted to, I could nitpick the statement "our tobacco flavors have extraction as an ingredient" and see this as a possible admission that it's not all simply extracted; but the fact remains that there are many, many vapers that swear by his tobaccos, I just so happen to not be one of them. Extracted tobacco is not always the end-all-be-all of what a flavor may be, I guess HB proves my assertion, as well as Prime Vaping and Vaperite.

I WISH I could forget that nasty turpentine flavor :(

So the verdict is; nay to HB (shame, I like some of Bryan's sweet vapes) and better to stay close to HHV. Have I got that right ?

Papaw, I am not saying abandon HB completely. As I stated above, their fruit and sweet vapes are outstanding. And certain people do love their tobacco flavors. I'm not one of them, and neither is Bappo. That pungency could, I suppose, be interpreted as throat hit, but I feel it as turpentine or polish remover. As you have surely learned, people like what they like.:)

But if you are liking HHV stick with them. If you decide to venture into other NET vendors, you would probably like Patriot and Vita Bella. They are Goodejuice's sweetest NETs. You'd probably dig The Plume Room too.

Oh, I go to different Vendors for different flavors, I keep a list of my Faves. Being a curious creature by nature, I still look around. BTW, I believe you've tried the Kanger T3's. How well do GoodeJuice and Plume Room liquids work with the T3's ? I ask 'cause I'm sold (for now) on my Twist / T3 combo's.

I have all these loaded into Kanger T2s or T3s: TPR Candied Cavendish (T3), Burley & Candy, GeJ Wild Turkey (T3), Symphonie Fantastique, and even my w2v Morley-Waffle Frankenjuice. No problem with any of them.

I can guarantee almost %100
that you can try a chai flavor or a coffee or a fruit ect. from one vendor and think "it's ok" or "not my thing" and then try something similar from Ahlusion and absolutely love it. They are far different from any vendor I have ordered from, truly in a League of their own. They have opened my eyes to Vapes I wouldn't have given the time of day to before.
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll want to get a few when I order. Have you tried the malt or the chai? I just got a chai latte from ahlusion that's amazing.

Just wanted to say that my AIV nets are rounding out very very nicely.

The Pearship at first didn't have a strong tobacco flavor but you could smell it in the juice but the pear was extremely dominant. However after just a week of steeping it has changed drastically. The pear has begun to take a back seat and a rich smoky tobacco flavor has started to take the lead yet the pear is still hanging out to compliment the tobacco very nicely! I almost feel as though I'm drinking a pear flavored smoked porter when I'm vaping it.

Stark night so far still has a mellow tobacco flavor and is a bit sweeter of a juice than Pearship. It has nice somewhat sweet spices that similar to like cinnamon, nutmeg or all spice but not really any of those. It also has a cool touch on the exhale that rounds out the juice nicely. It's not an overpowering vape at all but it is satisfying.

I have a feeling these aren't done running their course, it's still too early in the game, however they are shaping up to be some very solid and unique NET's.

Agreed. I love chai drinks, and my only try at a chai eliquid was from madvapes a couple years back. That juice scared me away from chai flavor until I saw Ahlusion offer it lol. I was still leary, but the nailed it (of course). Tastes just like a well made chai latte, with that very destinct pleasand aftertaste.

That's awesome news about the AiV nets. I'm really looking forward to those. Glad to see them doing the beta tastes instead of just making an attemp at nets and sending them out with fingers crossed.

I know this is a newb question that should probably be asked somewhere else, but you guys have been very helpful. So on the 14th I got my order of Shadowfax and Pirate's booty, and popped off the caps to let it sit over night. Well I completely forgot about them until today. Would my leaving them open for 3 nights caused any issues with the nicotine level or flavor?
Also, I am a fan of gandalf now, I go back and forth vaping that and my ry4v2.

No problem at all. Put your caps back on and shake them couple of times a day till they're ready. When are they ready though? Try them now and if they don't hit the spot for you, try again in a few days and so on. Most of HHV's tobacco require 3 weeks for the fullness of flavor to come through - but many people like them before that time. Whatever works for you devl!

The people at madvapes did this experiment with eliquid where they had several bottles they put in different conditions, including one left open and one closed, and every week tested the nicotine level. All bottles in the experiment lasted suprisingly long before they started dropping. Talking months here, and then it was only by a couple mg per ml.
