Hey Mizz...any idea when N-E-T will be shipping? I placed order 35 on July 4.
I ordered on the 3rd, shipped today. Check your email for shipping notification and tracking.![]()
I have to say I am quite surprised at how much Sahara has changed with steeping... It had a harsh flavour in it that reminded me a bit of the artificially bolstered tobacco flavours of juices like Morley from W2V and the tobacco Highbrow liquids...
The sharp off flavour I got in the beginning is all but gone! Rare is the juice that can transform profoundly enough for me to dislike it unsteeped and like it in its steeped disposition. This juice is one of those rare ones. Now I am really liking it. Now it has an acidic tartness to it with a lovely undertone of sweet powder. The mental imagery it gives me is of sand heated under a brilliant sun. Fertile Earthiness, gold and tan. How this Sahara from ahlusion has gone from hsit to shine is amazing.
On the topic of Turkish tobaccos the Quicknic Name Your Juice Turkish is blossoming for me as well with some steeping. It's a bold, non nonsense oriental type juice. It's quite different to Sahara from ahlusion. It's got distinct medium spectrum cigar notes in it and a hint of grass.
These are my two favourite turkish tobaccos at the moment.
I have The TF 01, works fine. Haven't had a battery heat up even if left on the charger after the light goes green. Decent batteries are the better investment IMO. IMRs (AW and Efest) have performed flawlessly in my mechs even with sub ohm builds.
... and the one I got isn't worth the time I've spent on it. Like many cheap chargers, it's going to be a hit or miss issue on this one... Last time I tried it, a 14500 700mah battery was on it for about 6hrs and never completed.
GeJ's lab-bacco Full Throttle is good too, maybe a little better than High Octane to me. Not sure I'd want to invest in a 30ml bottle of them, the next size from the 3ml. I'll see how I feel after vaping these samplers up. I WILL however be placing an order for some Halo lab-baccos soon. They have a new juice, free 10ml of it with order, called Voodoo. Tobacco with notes of vanilla, black currant, grape, plum, and cinnamon. Hmmmm.
Vaping the GeJ's on EkoWool that I got in today. I dig it, flavor is pretty good, about the same as German silica I think. I'll be using both to see if I have a preference. The EkoWool in nice because, after torching it, I stuck a needle through the hollow part and wrapped a decent coil right on it. With the German I make the coil on a nail and thread the silica through. Here it is on my IGO-S, ended up cutting the wick shorter than pictured. 8 wraps of 28ga Kanthal for 1.05 ohms.

I just got an Igo S today. Cleaned it, wrapped 10 wraps (all touching) of 30 g on a 1/16th drill bit, wicked with a tiny piece of cotton. Set it up to be a flavor tester, not too hot. Great little atty, very good flavor and vapor production with GeJ Vita Bella. I'm thinking some of the "vanilla-ish" flavor that most get from VB is likely due the combination of vanilla and Perique. The spicy funkiness of Perique would explain why the vanilla comes across a little differently in this juice.![]()
I've got a Phoenix v5 built with two of the same coils. No long draws needed!That's the kind of set-up I'm talking about!
Good call on Vita. My guess is Virginia and Perique, and I can definately see Perique combining with vanilla for a different experience. And maybe he's using an interesting brand of vanilla, or variation like vanilla custard flavoring. From reading Bill's RY4 thread, I know the difference in the many, many vanillas available are quite different, and combine with other flavores differently.
On a personal note, I could watch Nick taking the tobacco extract use, adding the nic base, and topping it off with a flavoring bottle that says VANILLA in big bold letters, and my mind will still not be convinced it's vanilla in Vita.

Gah! I had one of my random bouts of clumsiness and spilled 5ml of Ahlusion Maple Burley. I promise myself I wouldn't cry....

I looked a GeJs other juices more than once to see if there might be any clue there. Closest is a French vanilla juice. Who knows?(Mann knows)

Nick will tell you if you PM him. Mann will too I'm sure. I'll never ask, I like the mystery.
