Scarfy's delicious Ramon Allones Celestial gunked up an atty for me so I might have to go right ahead and use my atty refresher, sahara on that bad boy :D

This is spot on advice. I'm vaping this now, and the wick can be even shorter if you want. Put the cap on so the hole is pointing right at the coil and you're golden.

Looks like my coil is starting to get dirty, I'll vape some of my atty refresher (Sahara Blend) to clean it right up :D

Jef, I thought you with your love for HHV juices you would have sampled them in your new dripper. Once you do I think you will find new taste horizons open up with HHV juices as well.

GoodEJuice's Wild Turkey has more than 1 note now! Yea!

The plain, palm flavor is still there, but now I can taste a spicier top note. Once again, I get a saline quality in there. The high grassy note at least stays in the background now, while on my other devices was lead note. The satliness lingers a bit as an aftertaste with the dry leafy notes. It is a dry tobacco, but the flavor does crank up with on the coils. It's actually quite nice now.

The atomizer saved Wild Turkey from oblivion for me! I can see growing fond of it even. Not in the WOW category like Organic or Vita Bella, but nice enough to get my analog fix.

I did... a few. I tested the dripper with Heavenly Army and found it sweeter with a more pronounced chocolate presence and the graham took a backseat. And I dripped Dragon's Fire and discovered the monster that as hidden in my bottle all this time. I wrote about both here. Dragon's Fire... yeah, now I'm a believer :)

One thing I have definitely noticed with the new atomizer/dripper is what my other tanks/clearos do and do not deliver.

Triton T2's muted flavor, mostly top notes on non-Halo liquids (not much change in lab based stuff)
Protank: hard to tell with the metal mouthpiece and dry hits. Sometimes, I get close, sometimes it's far away
Iclear30 some muting of flavor.
Iclear16 -- closest to the dripper with accurate flavor and sweetness, vapor nearly the same as well

The larger devices just aren't cutting it for flavor, and are a crap shoot; sometimes they work well, sometimes they don't. The smaller devices work better, albeit occasionally some plastic taste arises.

Another reason I hit the GeJ juices first over the HHV is that the HHV didn't seem to hide as much in what I vaped them in from what others have reported. My Organic #1 epiphany happened with the iclear16, and didn't change with the dripper.

Just wish I had some steeped Oompa left now :) I finished that right before I won the RDA.

It depends on who you ask :)

I tried it for the first time straight out of the mailbox and I was all "SWEET MYSTERY OF LIFE AT LAST I'VE FOUND YOU" :laugh:

Seriously it was the most divine frothy/meringue/vanilla/dessert tobacco of all time and remains so. I need more, come to think of it. But it isn't overwhelmingly sweet.

Others find it a touch harsh out of the mail, and give it anywhere between one and seven (!) months to mellow out.

You're my Vita soul mate Scarfy. Fresh from the mailbox I think; how could somebody not love this fresh? Turns out, almost everybody else. Tastes like love to me, and stays that way. If I ever find the woman who's "the one" for me, I'll tell her that she's my Vita Bella.

I have multiple people telling me to skip Vita Bella and go straight to Vurley. Break down the differences for me.

Also, SHATNER...when can we expect a review of your N-E-T samples? You got the shipment before us...and with great power comes great responsibility.

Why someone would give that advise baffles me. They are both great juices, and very different juices with totally different flavor profiles. Vurley is a must-try for fans of Ahlusion's aromatics. Vita is, in my opinion, a must try for all fans of NET.

Will the Iclear 16 fit my vamo? I'm ready for a change from the vivi and the price is actually much cheaper!

Yes. It's a recessed 510 connection. If you're using a Vamo V2, just don't overtighten it, and make certain you unscrew it using the knurled part of the iclear16 or you might have a juice accident.

Jef, I'm so glad you've discovered the world of dripping. Let's say the best tank ever can bring the flavor up to 10. With dripping.. these go to 11.

Yes. It's a shame it took me winning something to give in a give it a go.

Some juices don't change much, just a few nuances here and there. While others change completely, like Dragon's Fire.

Yeah, that's something to keep in mind when discussing juice. Amongst many other variables, what we're vaping out of can provide a very different experience when vaping a juice. Many times we (and I'm just as guilty as others) wonder things like; how does that person taste ____ with that juice? Why does that person like ______ when they don't like _______? Why do they say it tastes like________? Until we all vape juices on the same PV, with the same topper and set-up, and at the same watts; it's only fair to give people the benefit of the doubt that they are accurately describing their experiences.

It's also a worthy venture to spend time finding the best possible set-up that an gives an individual the best experience for them. It's not always a fun prospect to take the time and effort to try different systems, but finding something that increases the enjoyment of vaping as far as flavor is very rewarding.

Do both! They're very different juices and both enjoyable. Vita Bella has a milder tobacco; it's more like Ahlusion's Vecchio Blend than it is Vurley. As with the other aromatics, Vurley has a very bold tobacco taste. What surprised me was that the vanilla was very bright and sweet. I thought it was going to be a complementary flavor. I was pleasantly surprised by how wonderfully it blended together.

Hey guys,

I was always a hand rolling tobacco smoker and i'm looking for a juice that is near to the real thing. I have tried a lot of different juices but cant find anything close :( I used to smoke Golden Virginia with liquorice papers. I have put some links below:

Golden Virginia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If anyone can point me in the right direction i would be very grateful. Many thanks.

It has been a while since I have posted in here. So after killing 30ml bottles of Smooth Criminal, House Blend, Shadow, and legend in a two month period, I have decided to try and make my own NETs. So I bought some Captain Black Gold Cavendish, and some blending red Virginia to give a try. I am still waiting for my PG and VG to arrive but are there any other tobaccos I should give a try. Also since Cavendish tends to clog atomizers and what not (because of the caramelized sugar that is created in the processing of it), do you think using a burley (the tobacco usually used in cavendish) and just mixing in sweetener, brown sugar flavor and others would produce the same flavor as a good cavendish?
