Dekang makes the best NET's in the world, and you know it. ;)

Nah, seriously...don't you think NET.com's Coventry is a much better vanilla tobacco? I wouldn't defend Dusty if he disliked that one. :D

I guess I don't think of Vita Bella as a vanilla tobacco. I look at it as a tobacco vanilla-like.

There's always baking soda and white vinegar. That's what I used to use before I went too BC's. It's like scrubbing bubbles but you need to rinse several times.


OK Jerms,

I will try both the 40% Hydrogen Peroxide and the Polident.

Probably in the AM before I can get over to Wal-Mart for the Polident but I will let you know how it work.

I have about a half dozen coils sitting in 99% alcohol for days and it has done ABSOLUTELY nothing.

(just wish I could shake the feeling you guys are setting me up for that "Natural Tobaccos" nut list)

You'll be missing some great vapes. Tobacco flavored e-liquids whether NET or lab made improve immensely with varying steep times, at least most of them do.


"After a long steep of several weeks"

I don't know how you guys do it. My idea of a long steep is take it out of the package, shake the heck out of it, open the bottle then put it in the cabinet before I go to sleep and then give it a go in the AM.

Any longer of a wait would take the assistance of some type of Pharmaceutical patience is not my strong suit.

I had Blue Grass Burley, Vurley, Hurricane Vapors Sunset Cavendish (which is neither Sunset nor Cavendish, but that's another story), AiV's 'Twas Brillig, and more. It was easy to let Smokin' Cherries steep. :)

Crete, Il
GJ4 -- Goodejuice, 24mg

First, a few disclaimers: I just received this juice today, but it was purchased about a week ago by Bob Chill here on ECF (Thanks Bob Chill!), so it hasn't steeped much. Bob Chill did mention that he was shaking it everyday :) Also, this is the first GJ4 that I've had in my regular 24 mg nicotine level; all of my other flavors are in 32 mg.

Secondly, this is my first NET RY4, and only this week had I sampled a synthetic RY4 (Maddcatt's RYW4).

Running the GJ4 through my Phoenix V4 with a 1.2 ohm micro coil on my k100.

Just a first impression: smooth, slightly sweet and very tasty. I can taste the tobacco upfront, yet it's not bright... I get a few hints of a Wrangler Light flavor, then the vanilla hits, which is similar to Vita Bella, and then the caramel. The caramel remains lightly on the tongue. Tons of vapors, and a solid 24 mg throat hit. There is sweetness, but less than say Heavenly Army from Heather's Heavenly Vapes.

The synthetic RYW4 is 3 times are sweet with the caramel upfront with the tobacco and vanilla underneath; nearly too sweet, like sucking on a chewy caramel candy. It's nice, but only for short periods.

GJ4 is a Perfect balance at this stage. It's a bit subdued compared to HHV's ry4-type NETs, but it's... lovely. I am looking forward to seeing how this one steeps. Will be added to the rotation and replace Heavenly Army when I run out (which is, unfortunately soon). Will be ordering again.

@Big Juicy -- I can detect no Organic #1 as a base on this; to me, it is closer to Vita Bella with that similar vanilla twang.

Even though I generally dislike moderators and other authority figures, I have to defend Dusty here. ;)

Vita Bella is mediocre, and all of you seem to have been brainwashed into liking it. It's like the Boba's Bounty of NETs. :D

And now...Graphics Overkill!

Steeping Smokin Cherries just makes the cherries fade. Fresh SC is one of the seven wonders of the world; the cherries are just spectacular. Old SC is a great tobacco with cherry overtones. Still very good (I'm vaping it now), but not The One.

y cherry y,

OK - you sold me but then I went to their site. What's with these NET vendors. "We only take a limited amount of new customers per day", "We are closed now but will be open in the AM for an unspecified period of time" and "It may take five days to get it out the door".

Gee - I have trouble dealing with a three day wait from Halo. I don't think I can handle all the if, ands, or buts from these NET vendors. I just want to buy some e-juice (good stuff of course) but I have never taken kindly to jumping thru hoops.

Poor me :(

Do you have a local vape store? If three days is hard for you to deal with, you're going to be REALLY frustrated with online juice vendors. You're probably going to want to avoid Ahlusion if ordering in the morning and the 5 day wait is a problem; plus, other than their aromatics, they tend to need a long steep. GoodeJuice ships very quick, but tend to be long steepers too. HHV's time to ship can be long at times, not sure how it's been lately, and they can be long steepers too. MountainOakVapors makes in big batches, so often don't need to steep and ship fairly quick, but it will still be a few to receive.

You'll definitely need to avoid The Plume Room, I placed my order on 9/10 and still haven't received a shipping notification... Personally I don't mind, I do long steeps anyway and right now I have ~35-40 assorted bottles of juices in two steep boxes. That doesn't include the 2liters of VG & PG Base, 1.5 liters of Nic or ~50 bottles of extracts... conservatively speaking I'm good for 8-10 months :rolleyes:

Vita Bella is next in line... after a 5 month steep.

That's the key! Have so much juices they don't steep.. they wait their turn lol. By the time you get to a new juice.. it's aged nicely.

Jerms,

Do you have a suggestion from Mountain Oaks Vapors?

I like Tabaco on top of a flavor (no exotic flavors). Things like Vanilla, Cherry, along those lines.

I took a peek at their selection but didn't recognize any of the names.

Tobacco with things like vanilla and cherry you say? Pendragon is tobacco with.. vanilla and cherry. Some love it, some hate it, some find it just OK. Sunday morning is tobacco with coffee and cream; HEY JACK is maple tobacco; Full Virginia Flake RY4 is.. RY4 (caramel, vanilla, tobacco). Southern Gentleman is mainly tobacco with some slight other flavor notes, Apache is all tobacco.

Gee MFToms,

Do you keep your MOD on the nightstand with a long hookah tube clipped to your pillow or just plan on living forever because that is how long it would take me to use up something as large as your stash.

I did order some Vita Bella only because I was tired of read the 5 gazillion references to it in this thread and having absolutely no idea what you guys were talking about. (come in from the cold). But if you think I am going to steep it for 5 months well... no way that's going to happen. I don't need ambrosia just something that taste like Tabaco not chemicals. I also was informed that the nets do more than satisfy the need for nicotine. The claim is it produces a sensation of relaxation in addition to the benefits of nicotine.

Nope, that's WTA (whole tobacco alkaloids) that has claims of that. Totally different thing than NET. NETs provide flavoring from tobacco leaves.. which only provides the sensation of realistic tobacco flavored vapes.
