All over the place
Wlad is taking down the Vanilla Wild Wood (and perhaps the Cherry also) in order to tweak them some, as he thinks (based on his own tasting and customer feedback) that the delicious WW base tends to do something odd to the other flavors.

I am still looking forward to trying the Peach Wild Wood, though. :)

Really? I really liked Peach and Apple WW (Peach was my fav, though I only had those two). Man, that dude has eliquid running though his veins.

I think the peach wildwood is my favorite too. The vanilla was second. What do you guys use to vape your nets? Some of them destroy the coils in my atties quick. Maybe that's just how they are or maybe I shouldn't vape them so much but I'm really loving some sweet Georgia peach right now.

Mmmmmm Sweet Georgia Peach. Yep, that's a good one, but SGP and Smokin Cherries were a little tough on coils for me. I use rebuildable drippers, mainly with German silica wick but also been using EkoWool and SS Mesh at times. I rinse and dry burn them when gunk builds up.

What do you think of Ekowool so far?

Undecided still. The flavor is a little different than my German silica, but can't tell if it's good different or bad different. With dessert and fruit vapes it's seems pretty good, but some tobaccos don't seem to be translating as well. With all the factors involved that effect flavor, and the fact that I may just be more used to the flavor provided from the German, it'll take time to decide. Eko is definately an improvement over regular silica. The German seems to wick a little better than Eko but I can't say for certain with that either. As is right now, when I reorder wick I'd go for the German first, but if not available I wouldn't hesitate to go for Eko.

Thanks. That gives me a better idea of how it'll fit. I appreciate it.

Oh no! I was just getting ready to order more WW. I've had both the Apple and Cherry and loved them both. The fruit flavors were certainly the star of the show with both. Wlad is so talented at creating realistic fruits! The tobacco base wasn't something I would expect from Ahlusion, but man it was good; the nutty undertones worked especially well with the flavors I tried. Funny... I actually preferred the Cherry over the Apple. If I had one criticism, it would be that the tobacco would sometimes get lost.

This might sound strange, but I almost detected the faintest, faintest, tiniest bit of DK-Tab while vaping the Cherry- something I really liked!

My initial thoughts and impressions of Naturally-Extracted-Tobacco.com on the official vendor site:

Somebody said it already but this stuff is REAL! These are as fine as any NET's I've had. The first one I tried was H+ Yellow Mane as Clay predicted. It surprised me how close it tastes to a competitors acid blonde extraction. Perhaps it needs some steeping but on first impressions it seems to be lacking a little of the floral tones of the competitor but that may be because the floral tones are infused in the other version out there. The core flavour profile is strikingly similar. I am suitable impressed and this only tells me that the extraction process is a skilled one.

Now one thing I noticed immediately is that these liquids need a good steep. There was no doubt in my mind as soon as I tried the cigars particularly that they need a good 3-5 weeks. The pipe blends seem almost good to go immediately but probably need a few weeks as well.

As initial impressions go I will be brief. There isn't one liquid in this batch that I didn't like. I like them all and I can only imagine how good they will be in coming weeks. What impresses me about Net.com is the range of pipe blends which all have burley grass notes. Few vendors out there have a good range of pipes and only a few make good burley style pipe blends with grassy notes combined with other profiles of medium or darker tobaccos. I think this is where N.E.T.com shines. Balkan flew right out of the gate as a winner for me. Strong grassy notes and boldness not unlike two of the finest burley pipes out there.

Black Cavendish won me over as well. Love at first vape. It has a profile flavour distinct from anything I've tried and this is the case with a few others such as Gold both in heat and cold extractions.

The peatiness of Gold grabbed me immediately and shook me in vibrant bliss. Tastes like bright virginias but that hay like flavour mixed with peatiness reminds me of a good peaty ale beer. Gold needs about 3 weeks I think. I can only imagine what it will be like when fully developed.

I would say don't vape these liquids up immediately, particular the cigar blends and Gold in the pipes. In a month they will be seriously special.

Your site is a true winner Clay, a true winner.

Good news bad news day for me. Bad news, my banks fraud department called today about some questionable charges, looks like debit card # got theived again. Tis a risk when ordering so much vape stuff online. Won't cost me anything, just means I won't be able to order anything for a week or two until I get my new card (maybe a good thing?).

Good news, vape mail from FastTech. All brass V3 (Sentinal clone) mech mod. Love it, nice and heavy, great threading, nice bottom button, and coolest of all to me is the workable, fully floating pin, a first for me. Easy to screw anything in flush. Here it is in 18650 mode with a couple new drippers I received too.

Back to your regularly scheduled NET program.

Nice. Is that the V6 on the table? How's it working? Love the driptip, BTW.

It's called YK1 KTS Stainless Steel... at FastTech. It's a Cyclone clone. Pretty much the same as the ERA clones like the V4 but with a different look to the cap.

The one that's on the mod is quite different. Bigger, but not as big as the Smok RDA (Octopus). It has a hole in the 510 post and a small tube pointing up from the base at the coil. The cap doesn't have a hole and screws on, so potentially a good one for putting in my pocket and not leaking. Haven't tried the drippers yet, maybe later tonight, but sure am digging the mech.

Oops, I meant the V5 $6.27 Phoenix V5 Detachable Dripping Atomizer (1.5ml) - 1.0

Forge Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer (RBA)

Been looking at those besides the IGO.

Loving my mech, too. My NETs have never tasted or vaped better!

Here's the small one I got http://www.fasttech.com/product/1353408-yk1-kts-stainless-steel-electronic-cigarette-atomi and here's the bigger one http://www.fasttech.com/products/1411/10004956/1390606

I haven't tried the V5, but if you want a bigger one I'd suggest the IGO-L. I'm not a fan, but most others are. It's a great dripper, I just personally haven't gotten the results I like from any larger drippers.

There are at least two versions of the Phoenix v5 available. The one in your links has had more problems and fewer good reviews. I have the other one and think you would be much happier with it. Here is a vendor AltSmoke.com - Phoenix Rebuildable Atomizer - V5 (Dripper). I got mine in co-ops for less, you may want to shop around. There was one in the classifieds, may still be.

I finally broke down and spent some money on a PV! Got a Reo Grand with a bottom fed Cyclone (not a clone) on the way from the classifieds. Also ordered the Reomizer 2.0 for it.

I have found RDAs to deliver the best flavor from NETs but wanted the convenience of not having to drip when out and about. Gennys are good for the first 1/2 tank or so then flavor becomes "distorted". Hopefully the Reo will provide the best of both worlds in a package that will stand my daily abuse.

Thanks, Johni. I'm not verified, so no co-ops or classies for me. And I just let my Paypal Account lapse, too.

Yes, I saw the one at Altsmoke just last night when I was shopping around. I like the performance of my V4, but I'd just like a little more room for a little more wick; course I could just order that 10 pack of mini-rda's from Fasttech for $40 and be done with it :)

Now that I'm hooked on drippers, I even thought about grabbing a pack of value 510 atomizers over at Goodejuice... then it's like, rebuildables are a better value... That's the thing about addictive personalities :)

Thanks for the link, Johni. I have that one on my wishlist... Jerms... haven't had the chance to compare large and small, since I only have the small. I have to mow some more yards before I can buy, so I'm just shopping now. Thanks for the input!

As far as quality of the vape, your v4 is pretty spot on for a no frills setup. If all you want in an upgrade is room for more wick, get the IGO L. The v5 would only be worthwhile if you want to try duals.

I've seen a lot of pics of people setting up RDAs with huge wicks and tried some larger ones. I get substantially better flavor with a tiny cotton wick threaded through a microcoil. If you opt for the IGO L, it has a decent juice well and can hold around 12 drops without having to have a huge wick.

I like to point out that, though I have heard a couple people say they notice a little better flavor from the smaller drippers, I'm the only one I've seen who seems to notice a big difference. So it might just be me, and I may be crazy lol. I just can't seem to make a build I'm happy with for more than an hour with larger dripper. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or maybe it's all in my head, so be sure to at least try a bigger one to see how you do with it. These babies are affordable enough to experiment.
