I don't know, I think the people of this thread do a good job of making suggestions based on what someone already likes or what they are looking for; pointing them towards what might work based on that instead of just our personal favorites. In fact, I think this may be one of the only thread that makes suggestions based on someone's profile instead of promoting what we personally like best.

Not that I don't think it could be fun to make our own lists, just don't know how helpful overall it will be for a newbie. Our own personal lists would only be helpful to someone who's figured out our tastes match theirs. My guess overall, collectively the favorites will favor GeJ, HHV, and Ahlusion.

This is exactly why I talk about the flavors of the juices and try to avoid (in reviews anyway) what I personally like and dont like. The reviews that are the most helpful for me are those that explain what the flavor is... not "its great". My opinion on whether I like a juice or not isnt especially helpful but, explaining that this juice is peaty and smoky or sweet with heavy vanilla overtones can be helpful when people are looking at what to try.

I like the personal top 5 idea for 2 reasons - 1, I may have a juice that I don't particularly like sitting in my cabinet that you may love and we all have birthdays... and 2, it would be interesting to see how my top 5 changes over time. It's only been a few months and it has changed wildly - I'm excited to see where it goes.

Mountain oak and more ahlusion shoudl be here tomorrow...I'll be able to run through a tasting on Friday ./giddy :)

I knew a guy who always had 9 juices in his top five.

Oh, today I had Peach River Tree Blend and I have to say I was thoroughly shocked at how much I liked it. I was N O T expecting to dig it. It was a faint, almost ethereal peach but with a hearty, nutty and slightly smokey natural tobacco--no grassy or leafyness in that juice. I never thought I would like a nutty tobacco like that, but it's almost like what 555s try to be but with peach and a natural tobacco. It brilliantly uncomplicated but still deep. Truly taken aback.

I don't know what to do, but I am thinking something like...oh Scarf-ace! Oh Scarf-Ace. You know what I am getting at, right, Scarf?

Say whaaaaaat! I never even planned on trying the RTB series. Now I may have to re-think that position. Not too long ago I found out I kind of have a thing for peach tobacco.

One issue for me is some in my top 5 I just wouldn't recommend to most people. Pendragon, I absolutely love it but more find it to be too weak. PURE Smoke, I love it but would only recommend it to.. myself. Sweet Georgie Peach, if others buy it that means less available for me lol.

Top 5 is too limiting for me. But, maybe by category? Hey Scarf...I don't know what to do, but I am thinking something like...oh Scarf-ace! Oh Scarf-Ace. You know what I am getting at, right, Scarf?

Dude. I was feeling goofy again! This time I felt even more goofy than passing up QnJ--this was right up under my nose!

I'll have to give that one a shot. Peachy Criminal is one of the best things I've vaped this year and Sweet Georgia Peach is at the top of my most-wanted list.

I knew I would have a thing for peach tobaccos, but was really disappointed in HHV's Georgia Peach Tobacco. Thankfully, Peachy Criminal exceeded my expectations. I have a feeling that I'll be over the moon for SGP...which will be back in stock tomorrow if I keep wishing hard enough. Ha!

Yeah I do:) Going away this weekend but Tuesday when I get back, it will happen.

I have long been a Maple River Tree Blend booster. In fact it's the only Ahlusion non-aromatic I reliably like.

I know, I know. :blush: You have said it and I have ignored it. Welp, Voltron was correct. Such a shame. LOL

Oh, I can't say when, but something along the lines of an ETb (extracted tea/bacco) is in the works. I only have limited info and who knows when, but it is, uhh, in the lab being worked out.

My next order will be Peachy Criminal, Peach River Tree Blend and likely some more of this Boba Tea plain (and maybe some of that Ginger Orange Oolong--I love that one).

I think there is a hole in my bottle of Boba--it's disappearing. LOL

Everyone do a top five then collect and come up with the group's top five. Or 10 or whatever. I'm not usually into contests and top whatevers but your point about pointing is a good one and I have used it in the past for that very reason. Helps noobs find their way to good juices quickly.

I think thats a great idea :) though.. if i may make a suggestion.. maybe the top 5 lists you all compile should include a bit of a description of the juices with the names. that way we NET newbs know what they are like too ;)

That is the crucial. Just sayin', "Oh, I love Devil Dog!" would likely lead many to heartache (or heartburn!) LOL. But to say, "Devil Dog: Likely the most aggressive, raw and in-your face tobacco liquid out there..." would maybe save new NETv from wasting money.

Good point, Stef, good point.

I think Scarf has the answer, but she'll post more about it in a few days.
