You really do need to own a ProVari, just because. You will see what all the hype is about. I have one (ok maybe two) of the new smok ZMax VV/VW devices coming soon via co-op. Could be a game changer, but unlikely. I don't think anything will give you more of a consistent vape than ProVari. I would also suggest the 24k gold version because it gives you a much better hit and vaping experience in general.

I can clearly see where having both variable voltage AND variable wattage would be a game changer; I'm sure the great German physicist Mr. Georg Ohm (inventer of the atomizer, RIP) would have agreed. As we all are surely aware, the gold plating does indeed decrease external electrical resistance and detrimental oxidation effects. Perhaps I'll have my ego plated...

I am curious about the regulars here and what NET/vendors we have yet to try? I have some DarthVaper coming and I am not sure who is left out there I have yet to try at least once. I must say, we are, as a group, covering all bases. Is there any vendor that sells NETs that has yet to be vaped by at least one of us here???

After I find the list of all that sell extracts, I will post which ones are left for me to try.

This thread has become so big, it actually deserves its own sub-forum that includes a sticky thread listing NET vendors :)

I would much appreciate such a list here. Don't recall seeing much mention of vendor Quick Nic. Their Fired In Georgia and Grandpa's Nightcap juices are regulars for me. They are on the heavy side of the suspended particulate category though...

On that note, I think I may have done my last dry burn. I've just found that with a little snip of cotton and a pair of tweezers I can scrub the offending coil clean. Still learning...

Well, I have not been a regular contributor to this thread, but I have been a regular viewer. I enjoy reading the view points and reviews on different NETs. I have tried a number of these and have compared to my notes.

So in appreciation, I would suggest that you try:

Apple (not sure why this says "apple") The name is Tangled Tobacco.

The web site is fairly new, but the company and folks operating are not. They have a storefront which I have been to and I have spoken with the owners about their products, processes and ingredients. The description of their juices is very limited, but you certainly can give them a call to speak about whatever may be of interest to you. They have several NETs, but the one I keep coming back to is referenced above. I may do a more detailed write-up in the spirit of other posted reviews on this when I have some additional time to really think through all the nuances.

What I can say right now is that in an all VG formula this is a lush sweet and complex juice. It is aromatic and thick to the nose. This translates through to the vapor and is complimented with a tighter draw set-up. The juice changes slightly in taste with watt level. At ~8watts I get a cooler lighter vapor with more tobacco, but once its warms, I bump up to 10-11 watts and get a thicker "gooey" vapor with heavier notes of a certain taste that is very appealing. I have have had three people try to identify what this flavor is, but no luck. The closest we could agree upon is fig. But I am sure it is not that. One person mention blackberry and another plum! This is not a cigarette like tobacco, more pipe type, not smokey but subtle. It is not "fruity". This is a very different tobacco juice than HHV, House of Liquid and Vaprite. I can't seem to get in on Ahlusion's quick sell out favorites, so I cant compare to it. The juice is a medium amber, vapable right out of the store and matures very nicely. It does not leave a residue, but does gunk up coils more quickly than the others mentioned. I certainly do not have the well rounded tobacco experience as others here and would be glad to hear your thoughts.

Well, this is my first post on this thread. Perhaps this is a good place to ask if anyone has tried LIQUA's juices. I know LIQUA is not a big name out there or certainly you don't see it a lot. LIQUA is an Italian-made juice and GotVapes carries their line. I bought mine from Carolina Vapes as Lisa has many more flavors than GotVapes. I tried one...Traditional Tobacco. It's a PG/VG blend. LIQUA does not advertise the ratio. I think it is high PG content as it is real thin and it burns as clean as anything I have ever tried. Solid TH with light vapor. I don't do backflips over this juice but it isn't bad either. It's rather flavorless with maybe a hint of celery (of all things). But it does mimick an analog pretty good. I was just wondering if I should sample their other tobacco flavors. They don't offer samplers and I don't like spending big $ on bottles of juice that suck (I know I'm in a big crowd here).

Vendor: GoodeJuice
Liquid: Vita Bella
Vendor Description: Vita Bella is a Tobacco flavored treat that will whisk you away to another place. Made from Natural Tobacco, it's unique taste is slightly sweet with a full, rich Tobacco flavor that is exclusive to Goodejuice. If you only had to pick one flavor for the rest of your life, consider Vita Bella. It was designed to be so. This flavor is only available in a 50/50 PG/VG mix due to the extraction process. Also, only available in 6mg nicotine or higher.
Thoughts: Ever since the first time I tried this juice I have been enthralled with it. It is probably the most unique and hard to peg juice of GeJ's House Brewed Line. Those that are tobacco fans, but want a little more variety than the standard faire, would be well advised to add this to their stash.

Review: This is one of those juices where the flavor profile is a very evasive and mysterious--in the vendor description as well as in the actual taste. Yes, this is an extracted tobacco, but what particular leaves and region is unknown. The actual tobacco, whatever it is, is used more as a base to escort the additional flavorings. The base itself is rather mild and does not have much of forward presence; however, it's ability to mingle with the other flavors and exchange profiles is what makes this juice so wondrous. FYI, the tobacco is definitely there if you know what you are looking for, but it isn't going to jump out at you.

Most extracted tobaccos will have some type of vegetal quality, woodiness, earthiness, bite and or spice. Vita Bella only has a subtle earthiness and spice that is coming from the tobacco--the spice is more of a lingering note upon exhale and afterwards, whereas the earthiness is present throughout. The predominant flavors are slightly sweet, velvety and as elusive as any of the hard to describe juices that I have ever had. The sweetness is not remotely close to cloying, but it does present itself as in the sweet(er) juice category of extracted tobaccos. I want to say possibly vanilla, but only in the very broadest of senses--it has a creaminess relative to vanilla more than the taste itself. I am not saying this is a vanilla tobacco per se, but that is about as close to a comparison as I can give--even that is a stretch. That particular flavor that I am trying desperately to pinpoint possibly has a touch of almond milk-like flair with a subtle hint of a red delicious apple skin. (I am really reaching! LOL) Oh yeah, that reminds me, the color of the juice is very much like alizarin crimson, or like that of a transparent red delicious apple, but please don't expect to taste apple here.

My gawd, this juice is smooth beyond smooth. It is not a bold in-your-face juice at all, but is has such a coy character that to vape it is to chase it. I have an 18mg bottle that doesn't offer much in the way of hit, but while I vape it, TH is the furthest thing from my mind. So if you are a tobacco fan and would like to add some mystery to your line-up, give Vita Bella a shot. This is a staple in my stash!

p.s. Approximately two weeks aged juice for the review.

VaporPhoxxe Tangled Tobacco

Thanks for the heads-up on this juice. Haven't heard of that one before and now I'm curious to try it, appreciate the review. The great Scottish engineer, James Watt (inventor of variable voltage vaping, RIP) would be pleased as well, I'm sure... :)

I was just lookin' for a couple sentences and I got the whole book! Nice review Mr. Mann. And I must say, of the three flavors you mentioned from Goodejuice, this is the one that most intrigued me when I went to their website (these people happen to live close to where I spent the first 38 years of my life).. I like the "creamy, but not vanilla" description. That creamy is what makes it smooth in my mind. Excellent review and I appreciate you delivering it. I think I will order a bottle of this and take my chances. No, I will not blame you if I don't like it. It's my choice to order it so it is on me and no one else. I see it is a 50/50 blend (as are all/most of their juices). Does this burn fairly clean for you?

Never heard of 'em until now, but if anybody asks from this point on, I can say "sure."

What hasn't happened a lot in this thread, but what could be cool, is to review a juice based off of another review so as to give a compare and contrast or a bit of a consensus. I would be interested to see your take on this juice after you get it.

Agreed. I have to have customer reviews of juices and not just the vendor's description. I look for consistency in reviews. If one guy tells me it tastes like heaven and another guy says it tastes like .... then I'm in trouble. But if they use similar adjectives like "creamy", or "smokey sweet", or "floral sweet"" then I know I can trust it.
