Im glad to hear im not alone on the hole hating seeing people vape in their dang youtube (or any) videos. Dont know what it is about it, but I just cant stand it. Borders on disgusting even to me. Although in real life I have no problem seeing someone vape in front of me. I have no idea what it is about that, that makes me feel that way when I see it online. Also im totally with you on the blowing vapor at the camera as well. Its like come on man..... really.... again..

PS: I'm with you on not being into watching other people vape - unless the vaper happens to be a cute girl, that is. Then it's.... y'know, kinda interesting :)

I smoked a Cohiba Red Dot yesterday. Before that I watched a couple reviews to see what to look for. One was a gorgeous Hawaiian girl. The review wasn't all that helpful, but I sure enjoyed watching her smoke that cigar :D

I've been pretty excited about organic cotton balls to wick my micro coils with since starting a couple weeks ago. I was pretty much sold on it. But this morning I grabbed a German silica wicked dripper and dripped the same juice I was vaping in a cotton build. Well crap.. for this juice at least, the silica tastes much better. I may go back to minis with German silica.. back to the drawing board.

Wow, this thread gets tons of chatter! Woke up today to like 20 notifications on my phone. Anyways, I think I'm going to order MOV's Virginia Flake RY4 soon! I just read the description and reviews of it and it makes me salivate.

Also try GeJ GJ4 an Quicknic's Are Why Qu4tro. Each are RY4 NETs, but each have their own 'take' on it. None are bad, either.

Hmmmm, guess I've been doing it wrong. Ain't changing though lol.

Psshhh, I don't even inhale. I bring the vapor to the back of my mouth and exhale through my nose.

boomerdude if you are punking us, it's working. i tried your method and ... no, just no.

this reminds me: why oh why does dripping yield so much more flavor? i've heard quite a few theories on the matter and none of them struck me as true.

My educated guess is that there's no filler to mute or distort taste. Plus the liquid is applied straight to the coil

RPADTV's reviews are really nice, professionally presented, concise and provide useful information such as price, ratios, presentation factor, flavor, and gunk factor. And the reviews get better over time. 2 thumbs up! :thumbs:

RPAD is the only reviewer that I take the time to watch. One, I think he's a funny guy and two, I like supporting him and his YT channel as I'd consider him, as most in this thread, a friend. Not to mention, RPAD, you don't fill your reviews with BS fluff. They're to the dang point and that's great, imo.

Shat buddy, see that channel (groove) that is cut across the deck then goes straight up through the threads? That's where the juice gets sucked up as you draw on the mouthpiece. Imagine an outer ring that is screwed around the outer circumference of the base. Then imagine an inner ring screwed around those inner threads (that's the chamber). The juice sits between the inner and outer ring. As you suck on the mouthpiece, the juice goes up that groove cut in the inner threads. It enters the chamber where your wicks are setting.

Looks like Parkes vaping is throwing their hat into the net arena with their house blends. I was inquiring about some of their tobacco offerings and was told that these three were made from housebrewed extracts. I didn't get any details about the process.. just thought you'd guys would like to know.

House Blends

They sure are not boasting about them being NETs. They just call them blends. I'm suspicious.

Thanks Sharon. Couple things to ask a vendor to find out if they are really NETs: What's your extraction method? Do you do the extractions yourself? What tobaccos do you use?

Woefully little info in their descriptions, someone needs to put their detective hat on (calling all Mann to the station).

They'll be cheap to try, who's gonna be first?

And about the maple syrup flavor, see, "smokey" is something I can cross off my list as a requirement, but when it comes to more of the flavor profile, I just would enjoy something rich, woody, earthly, and dark. I would think a chocolate-toffee vape would be very close to what I'm after - years ago, Blu's tobacco flavor profile was very toffee and as a starting point, it won me over (their flavor has since gotten cheap and gas station-like). Just, I want something in the juice that gives it a good roasty flavor and I'm hoping NET is an ingredient that really can give that without overpowering it into the "ok is my wick burning or is this the juice?" or "ashtray" territory. As it is, I smoke Southern Cuts by Malboro, and I like the complexity and strength of them, but as a vape, the taste would be a bit much toward "ashtray" for my preference of something I could vape. I'd need something a lot more moist and sweet, a lot more like a package of pipe tobacco smells.

So far, there just seems something defective with the Sunday Morning, either that, or my coils are only getting hot enough to vaporize the "cream" flavor or something like that. Which other companies would have a good juice for me? I'd definately prefer a glass-bottle company and a juice that doesn't kill coils too rapidly (first time tank'er). Or is there any artificial tobacco's that really would match what I'm after (if they'd be easier on a beginner?)

If toffee with a tobacco undertone and not much or any smoke is your thing, I would recommend trying Vapor Station VS4. It is an artificial tobacco RY4 variant...a decent artibacco, toffee, spun sugar, touch of vanilla. It is not for me but I know people who love this juice.

VS4 - Tobacco flavors - E-liquids

Good call, BJ. VaporStation VS4 is a likely candidate.

From the description of what he's looking for, I think MJTP might also like Jane's Toasted Toffee Kick Juice from ECSI.

Just wanted to say that between my simple but effective-enough-for-me eGo setup, my beginner's RDA at home and a small assortment of great NETs from NETcom and GeJ, I am feeling pretty damned satisfied today. I don't know if I'm at the end of my Vapequest but I've sure reached the first plateau. I think I'm gonna chill out here for a while.

Down to my last 12 drops of Apache. :(

Not to worry, I have 30mls of Balkan in transit. :)

Yes, my sampling moratorium is back in effect. Balkan is considered a replacement for Apache...in my Vape World.

I've never had a sampling moratorium, but I have had juice buying freezes when I have so much on hand. Trust me, I know about the justifiable excuses we can come with lol.

As a matter of fact, I'm in the middle of a buying freeze now but just ordered a 30ml of Smooth & Mild yesterday from ThePlumeRoom. My excuse.. it was the weekly special. I'll be buying a big bottle of Smooth Criminal and Desperado from Ahlusion when they open back up using the excuse they are long steepers. Then theirs the tobumpkin vape from NETcom that is a limited time offer. H1N1, Analog, and Heavenly Army I may pick up before my freeze is over with the weakest of excuses.. I really want to try them.

And I wonder how the hell I end up with so much on hand......
