I hear ya... I think they are over at Clay's hangin' out...
It was just released last weekend... I ordered a bottle on Tues. evening after work along with the Mango Vanilla, but it hasn't been shipped yet. I don't think I've seen anyone say they have received any yet
Myself, I'm on the Beach . . .
Wish I could join you! So damn busy lately that I can't keep up. Need a vacation!!!
I got a Reo Grand and this thing is just the device I needed! Anything with a tank just wasn't cutting it compared to dripping and I don't have time to drip all day. Now I can goose the bottle and the wick is wet. Fresh juice on demand (Acadian Gold right now) from a virtually indestructible device puts me in my happy place.
I ordered both, as well as 60 more ml of Coventry, more Black Cavendish, some Balkan...
I have been dialed out, well, TAKEN out, by my first sampling of Ravyn. Yes, THAT Rayvn. I am...ummm...not ready to comment yet.

Just a quick warning/heads up...
Don't forget to clean out your new clearos... like you didn't know it already.
I just got in a SmokTech Tumbler and forgot to pre-clean... I filled it with A+ BRB and let it set a moment... took a vape and ... PERFUME notes big time.
After a quick tear down and clean up... it appears ok so far. Smoktech has released 3 new BCC clearos... The Tumbler, the ARO and Trophy. Each appear to use similar BCC coil heads to the Kanger's... in fact, it appears they are interchangeable. I haven't tried using Evod or Protank coils so that is only a guess at this point.
The Tumbler is rather cool looking resembling a lava lamp of sorts. It's tank is a frosted polycarbonate and the rest is chromed metal of some type. The ARO uses a pyrex tank sheathed in a metal shell and looks like the Kanger MT3s or Evods. The Trophy looks like a ProTank, the pics look like pyrex but could be PC also, I haven't found info on the specifics.

A somewhat epic vape night for me...at the very least one if the more memorable ones.
Ravyn - I...I...just don't know what to say. I read most of the thread, I asked around. This ain't unicorn milk...maybe dragon milk? This is obviously sufficiently steeped at this point. First scent and few puffs I got a berry element. Then it was clearly pushed back by that mystery funk Ravyn is famous for. The odd thing to me was that the mystery flavor bound and finished this juice. Was this by design? If this flavor was way out front pre-steep...say, like the Latakia spice element is in fresh DD...then I get how people were disgusted by this. Here it was blended somewhat. Then as I vaped it I didn't get the components at all but a whole one note, one flavor. What IS this. I know I have tasted not the parts but this exact flavor before. I was thinking it was decent, but not for me. I had a quick vision of my hippie days smoking something when we were out of weed...colored papers...what...vision disappeared. Then the bad thing came. I chain vaped it til I for sick and I simply couldn't place the taste. Burley and maybe a berry shisha? Is there some sandalwood or pachouli involved? Is the funk simply perique not playing nice with others? I was so close too. Then I got home and it compromised my Chinese food. I don't know if it shared an ingredient with orange chicken or if the orange chicken somehow activated what lingered on my palate, but it was not pleasant. I give up, I ain't taking another puff of this. Later I vaped some burley and then some latakias...and I don't know. All I know is that there is some Latakia in there. And I know they went for SOME taste that exists that I have had before and it was from my hippie days. F!!! I jut almost remembered again, but no....maybe. It was some kind of rolled smoke, from another country...oh ...., I got it just this minute AS I TYPE!!!!!!!!!! BIDI's!!!! He crap one smoke like 20 years ago. Ravyn is bidi's. I have blown my own mind.

Rest of my epic night later...I need to trip out now and then rest my circuits

By the way, I despise beedis, and the taste have overrun my palate for the night, which is gross.
Sure been quiet in here last couple days. Nothin wrong with that, never seems to stay that way for long. I like to think that there's maybe a couple people who, like me when I first discovered this thread, are taking the time to read from the beginning, reading a few pages when time allows. Periods of slow down like this they may be thinking.. whew; I just may catch up to the end after all... and then boom, a dozen more pages over a weekend.
Other than hitting up Vita Bella, which never fails to comfort me, I've been getting down with some non-NETs. Desserts and fruits, which I've gotten really picky on since they need to be done extremely well to keep me from thinking; I'd rather be vaping a NET. Luckily Ahlusion does me right with those. Soon gonna get more comfortable with the arti-baccos that I've ordered in the last month. But tonight I'm hitting up a TINO.
I'm not sure exactly what people are refering to when they use the term TINO (tobacco in name only). It seems to be used in different respects, sometimes as a put down of a juice or just used indifferently. Sometimes as a term for NETs that have little to no tobacco impact, sometimes for some or all arti-baccos, and sometimes for any juice that is sold under the tobacco tag but doesn't really taste anything like tobacco. Either way, TINO means.. well.. tobacco in name only about covers it (where's the beef?).
I don't refer to a NET as TINO; if there's little or no tobacco to be tasted I usually refer to it as having little or no tobacco impact. Most arti-baccos do taste like tobacco to me so not TINO, but in quite a different way than juices made from actual tobacco. For my purposes, I've relegated TINO into a specific category. That is, juices that are sold under the tobacco heading or described by the vendor as tobacco, but to my taste buds have neither extracted nor synthetic flavors that make me think tobacco in any way, shape, or form, and they almost always play like a dessert vape. They usually are very flavorful, and it can be hard to pin what flavors are noticed which results in many different claims of what people say it tastes like. Sometimes vaping a TINO I think; why put this under the tobacco category. Then I think; well, why not, doesn't really fit into any other category either. And sometimes I think, I can kind of see how this can play as tobacco.. but that thought often quickly disappears.
I've only had a handful of juices I qualify as TINO. The big ones are Boba's Bounty, Gold, and Bounty Hunter. I consider those three to be very well made, highly enjoyable juices, at times delicious even. Tobacco? No, just in name only. Back to what I'm vaping tonight, a very well-steeped Dorky Stud by Vapetrik. This version can't be bought any more; complaints of it being too sweet had RiP change the formula. Vaping it tonight, months old (forgot to write down it's age, so not sure exactly how old), it's the best TINO I've had. Fresh, it contains many , ummmm, incense type spice notes. Aged, those are still there, but like the level of sweet has toned down a lot. It's more straightforward dessert TINO now, fairly rich and flavorul with notes of graham, and subtle notes of something that makes it quite complex and unique.
I wouldn't normally recommend it to NETters, but I know plenty here dig juices like Gold from NLV on occasion. For fans of either Gold, Bounty Hunter, Boba's Bounty, or any TINO as I've described, I'd absolutely recommend it and consider it a must-try for that category. If you don't like it, let it age, maybe a deep sleep, and it may just surprise you.

Holy crap BJ, I absolutely loved reading about your experience tonight with that B.... called Ravyn, and related soooo much to what you went through. That juice has played with my mind sooo much, much more than I've actually spent vaping it. I've gone through.. what is this?? Oh this is kind of nice. O my god this is disgusting. I know what this is!! it's... damn I lost it. O it must be.. no that's not it. Good god is that spoiled meat? O, nice blackberry note. Man I recognise this taste it's.. o I get in RY4. Nope not RY4, barbecued pork. O my god this is horrible. Hmm not bad, has potential...... and that's in the span of a couple vapes lol. That juice literally scares me to vape.

Over the last 30 minutes a I come back down to Earth I am ever more sure of it...it is beedi/bidi...period
Now I am curious how they came to it. Is it a direct bidi extract and they got exactly what they wanted...or if in experimenting with blends someone said, "this reminds me of bidi, lets at with some flavors we have here until we get it right"
Anyways, I can't tell you how much figuring this blew my mind. I smoke maybe half a bidi like 10 years ago and have ne'er tasted, seen, heard of, or thought I them since

Whenever I see someone use the acronym TINO, I have flashbacks to the mid- to late-'90s Yankees with Tino Martinez at 1B. Those were some great games to attend....
I've never had a bibi, and you may be right with that connection, but keep in mind your comparing it to a memory of a brief experience from 10 years ago. I was sure I knew what it tasted like several times, and then next time that connection was completely gone. There's just so much competing and going on with that juice. I've heard it's a hodgpodge of some 40+ flavors with the extracted tobaccos. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised, based on how many different flavors I've heard it described as. Usually, I get Perique, and quite often blackberry and caramel. Whatever it is for sure, overall it's such a strange, scary, and tempting failure of a juice to me.
