Damn! 3 weeks? Already doing it like that? Good job!

Thanks! I'm glad I found out about Natural Tobaccos from these postings and from your other NETTy Awards. I decided to give a go for it as I was looking for a true tobacco flavor. As soon as I began puffing on The Patriot it felt like I was enjoying a great cigar, I felt the smokiness I was going for, the full flavors and even a hint of ash. I vaped myself into a high and am now trying to resist vaping for a few minutes, I forgot I was vaping and not smoking even though it felt right on point. I also realized I haven't even touched a cigarette since I put a NET into my Protank. Looks like I have found what I need to get me off the analogs. :vapor:

Vaping London again after my highly critical first impressions. After dropping the expectations, comparing, and critical eye, I have to say that it is a really great juice and I enjoyed it greatly a couple hours before bed last night and this morning.

I really enjoy the experience of an English pipe blend ejuice. Having London, Devil Dog, and the yet to try by me Apache, on the market is like having 3 different premium brands of the same style available. I think most will end up prefering one over the 3 because that's what we normally do with products. People will have their reasons prefering one brand over the rest based on personal preferences.

I liked DD more, but the difference is like Pepsi Cola and Coca Cola. I prefer Coke (has a nice little bite to it), but if a store is out I don't mind grabbing some Pepsi for my cola fix. At first I may think I wish I had a Coke, but after a bit I'm just happy to be drinking a cola, because cola rulz. And to me, English pipe blend rulz. Looking forward to trying Apache. Hopefully it's not the Shasta cola.

If you posted this in the GoodeJuice sub-forum, the owner Nick would be very happy to hear this. He digs having juice that gets vapers to drop the cigs.

Haven't even thought of that, but will go ahead and do that. Might help the others looking for a true fix to get them to make that switch.

I've finally put in an order at Ahlusion's for Desperado and Smooth Criminal... I would have liked to also get Sahara and Blue Grass Burley... expecially BRB since I hadn't had an aromatic blend yet... I guess those will come in due time and I do look forward to trying out the ones I did get ordered.

Tell me how you like Desperado in the fall. :laugh: J/K (kinda)

No vape mail yet today, so decided to break out Dragon's Fire which has been steeping almost two months. First try when I got it I found it overly sweet and light on tobacco, but suspected it would do as Smooth Criminal does and flip that with steeping. It's definately matured well, like the cheese round in the Cheez It commercials. Don't remember if it's suppose to taste like caramel or honey, but so far getting honey. Probably do a full review later.

Below is the text from Nick's post in the GoodEJuice subforum, linked by MrMann above:

What sets our NETs aside from the rest?

It starts with the simple philosophy of using Actual Premium Tobacco. Not TA, or TE, not Gambler, Bugler or Top tobacco that can be bought at your local quickie mart. Our tobacco blends come from a master blender that specializes in cigarette, cigar, and pipe blends. Our blends are farm fresh, unadulterated and never chemically sprayed.

Anyone using coffee, chocolate or any other PA or FA flavor that drowns out any hint of tobacco, calling them Naturally Extracted is a travesty. The whole point of NET's is to give the user the most realistic tasting tobacco possible. Any NET that requires artificial flavoring, which some don't depending on the target tobacco blend, should be added with a judicious hand and should merely compliment or enhance the tobacco, not overtake it. And that's brewing it the Goodejuice way!

I love the first paragraph. The second paragraph, however, pushes my buttons. I don't like being told how things "should" be, especially when it's just someone's personal opinion. Who is the appropriate judge for how much additional artificial flavoring is "enough"? Only the individual vaping the juice. No one else. If you like a ton of caramel with your NET, that's fine, and nobody's business but yours. If you prefer a straight-up 100% tobacco NET juice, that's fine too. It's personal preference, not Cosmic Law.

Here's how I'd prefer that sentence to read:

"For any NET to which artificial flavoring will be added, I [Nick] use a judicious hand in order to compliment or enhance the tobacco, not overtake it."

Nick could also have written that he "recommends" using a judicious hand. Either way would be authoritative without coming off as authoritarian.

I'm a big fan of Nick's NETs at GeJ. It's just that writing in absolutes happens a lot on ECF, and it gets tiresome.

I had the same revelatory experience with Patriot in my Vapeonly Max. The cigar flavour and feel is undisputed and uncompromising. Because it such an elegant, realistic juice it can sometimes register to the taste buds like burnt atty. The ashiness of the juice is a stunning quality of it, but in a set up that produces less than pure flavour, that ashiness can come across like the juice is burning. Once the Patriot is put into a high quality tank (or in my estimation, a properly set up RBA) the flavour really comes out and what before tasted a bit like burnt atty oaky, ashy tobacco.

I have recently put Fire Cured from GEJ in my Vapeonly BCC and that juice seems to have even stronger ashiness than the Patriot. I couldn't make sense of it in other setups but like the Patriot, the flavour of it, that smokey ash, oak, latakia is coming through strong in one unified symphony of flavours.

I was NEVER a tank man because I am a dripper and like to mix things up, and also because tanks always had that plastic or metallic taste but the newer style Vapeonly and protanks are changing all of that. i have a protank on order and it should be in my mail today. I am going to start it off with Patriot and see how it compares to my Vapeonly BCC.

I love Nick's statement, in all it's absolutes. It is this 'absolute' tobacco (not to be confused with tobacco absolute) flavour we are getting in our Gej juices. The only other juice I've tried that tastes authentically of tobacco is Want2Vape but Gej takes the prize for a complete wide appealing juice. It's this conviction by Nick that creates these amazing juices.

It's difficult to fault what Nick says about naturally extracted tobacco and it rings true when you taste a NET that has overpowering fruit or sweet flavours. It really is what sets GeJ apart from the rest.

I'm afraid I'm not much good at waiting more than a month for a steep... :D

In fact.. I always have to taste a juice just when I get it... curiosity rules and out weighs all else


You ain't the only one! I just today fell for juice that was the .... of a bunch of jokes I made. Granted, it was made on 9.28, so it has steeped granddaddy-style, but I never thought I was going to dig it this much. What's interesting is I never through it waya, sold it or PIFed it--I think I wanted to see if I would ever like it.
