Wasnt FJ the one our little pissant friend was shoving down our throats (along with AiV)?

Guy from OZ, got banned. aguila, or something? I remember him going in to EVERY thread and pimping AiV.

The Russian's phone number. :)

:facepalm: I have no freaking clue. There was a guy with her, but I think just a coworker. Actually, hindsight being 20/20 I'm 99% he was just a coworker because we were flirting back and forth for a bit. Plus I was really focused on getting in and gt'in tf out quickly, but then we started talking.

And like I said; I'm ......ed in social situations, especially with attractive women. But next time I see her I'll ask if she wants to work out or something. Or just man the f up and ask for a number. Asperger's is a bitph.

Being awkward when trying to talk to an attractive woman isn't an Asperger's issue.. it's a guy issue.. just got to cross our fingers and hope they find it endearing ;) :D

CravinVapes does indeed do NETs... just not very well.

Organic Vanilla Pipe was decent though. Overall, they are just too light. They are clean and smooth at least. I didn't not enjoy them (yes, double negative) but found them unnecessary, as HHV does what they do but better.

I concur with your Cravin' Vapes take. They are not bad but just fall short on flavor. They have good feel to them. I think of them as HHV wannabes as well. I hear the guy who owns/runs the place is a good guy so perhaps he's tinkering with his blends and we'll see some improvements at some point. He took the right fork in the road but he just never made it to the end.

I vote for just manning up. :)

Well, I'm double f'd. I DO have mild-moderate Asperger's (I can function, I just have trouble 'getting' social signals and humor). But at least I know it, am diagnosed and know when it's coming on. And most chicks are super understanding about it and actually think it's cute. But I don't usually tell them until I know them or if I'm making thing awkward on a date making it seem like I'm not interested.

Right on, agree totally. They came close but just missed the mark. I hate to dis them, because they don't have any off flavors, and I like the site and the info given, and the price is great... they just need more oomph or something special to have them be noteworthy. Comparing to HHV isn't a bad thing if they can make them as flavorful. HHV-like would a compliment, HHV-lite is a complaint. I'd like to see them tweak the recipes, but on the other hand some vapers may prefer the much more subtle approach.

Yep, that's about it. Easier said than done, but necessary.

There's this one woman at one of my job sites.. nice, pretty, and quiet in a self-confident/assured way. I can firt with women way out of my league all day long, but her.. I'm terrified to talk to.. even though her aura screems "I'm an amazing person that you really want to get to know". I only have one option, and that's to man up.. next time, I'll do it next time...... ummm hi. Like you I. Date make you me please. I lift large object to impress.

Does FJ actually put enough flavor in? I can't even taste AiV. Most overhyped liquid right besides BB and MBV.

FJ flavors aren't as light as AiV flavors. You also have the option of extra flavoring. I actually like some AiV juices, but would only order again with extra flavor shots.

Also, I'm so jealous of your Hana Modz DNA20 box! (And possibly your Russian woman.)

Also, I think Cravin' Vapes is doing NETs as well. RPADTV has a review slated, I believe (that's where I first heard of it, in his previous review).

Yeah, I agree with what a few others have said. Cravin' Vapes NETs are like HHV Light. To me, they're not bad at all, but you have better choices. The French Vanilla Tobacco is the best of the four I've vaped, so far.

Yes yes yes and yes. And let's be clear, in this thread we are not talking "tobacco flavored," but actual TOBACCO extracts. They have changed my life. It has taken a bit of trial and error and along the way there have been found some juices that scream tobacco, but do not scream smoke, that I nonetheless love. Even a few that are sweet.

The most authentic pipe "smoke" I have had yet is Want2Vape Louisville closely followed in many respects , if you like cavendish, by naturally-extracted-tobacco.com Black Cavendish. Also, Want 2 Vape Bluegrass Burley is a must try, though I prefer Maple Burley

The most authentic cigarette...and read this...better than a cigarette, what I always wanted from a cigarette...is naturally-extracted-tobacco.com Big Spirit

I was more a cigar guy than anything else. Want 2 Vape Managua is eerily like a real cigar dude. Even leaves the oily finish on your lips. An act of wizardry. Naturally-extracted-tobacco.com 3 Crowns is right there too.

Those are my top dogs, though I keep another 20 or so juices on stock. Everyone else should chime in in the morning. These juices are good enough to not leave me wanting to "smoke" anything. What else can I say?

oh man...if I never wanted to "smoke" another cigar I could probably have a down payment on house if I sold off everything I am aging in all my coolidors.....yes, it's a collection that will one day all be ashes. I could collect mods, they be can used time and again after all!

While BJ may ( most likely in fact ) have real pipes... I believe the ones referred to in his siggy are electronic mods... at least he did post pics of them a while back in this thread ( along with a few other folk )

Ah, didn't know about extra flavor with AiV. I may order Zombie Apocalypse w/ xtra flavor tonight.

The Hana is very nice. There are machining marks and the drip well/tank well is sharp. I wish they would have 'dehorned' it, in gunsmith speak. My custom DNA20 box; all of the holes were drilled undersized and filed to fit, very much like building a gun. The guy that did it charged me a VERY fair price. He asked me not to disclose it which I will respect. My batteries went out on it (3,100Mah), but he said to send it back as he sourced a 'better' battery. I just haven't had time to get it to him. If you're interested in a DNA20 mod, I'd go with the custom, honestly. Unless you just have to have both. PM me if you want his screen name. I asked if he'd be interested in making a few more and he said sure.

Both are the same performance, but the custom is more comfortable, everything inside is shock resistant via double sided tape. More attention to detail. BUT, the Hana is freaking NICE! I'd have no qualms walking through the lobby of my new apartment sporting the HANA. It's pure class!

Sounds like Last Tango would love them . . . he's into subtle flavors AND tobaccos (not a common combo).

I have some BS ordered. Not sure when it'll ship.

I have a strong hunch that Patriot is a cold maceration of American Spirit tobacco. Don't know why. But it doesn't taste like cigar or pipe to me. It's what I image a cigarette NET to taste like.

I'll take you up on your challenge, Sir.

I also disagree. I also submit that BS tastes more like American spirit and in a purer. More succinct form. There has always been something about Patriot that at the very last second of a vape bothers me. It is almost...an artificiality. I cnt lit my finger on it but I know it is there. There is some element that on a minuscule level knocks it authenticity down for me. Something isn't right, something very small, but something. The princess and the pea. Big Spirit succeeds in all the very subtle, nuanced ways Patriot does not...plus it performs just as well and tastes better. My first reaction was: this is why patriot is going for...that there is a purity of extract, a cleanness here, a REALNESS that Patriot just misses...and that this is what a ciggie shkd taste like. If you ever wondered if you TRULYike the taste of good analog ciggie blends or justices the nix and/or smoke...try this juice. I love clean fresh unfettered tobacco and I love this stuff for what it is.

So the battery on the custom isn't user replaceable? That's a possible deal-breaker for me. It sounds awesome otherwise!

According to the description, Patriot is Perique, Virginia, Blurley, and Kentucky Cavendish. I have no reason not to believe Nick's description, he's pretty open and honest in my experience. I trust that to you Shatner it tastes like American Spirit tobacco, but that's not what it's made from. Tastes like a complex pipe blend to me.

To me it is one of the best anog cig tasting juices around. Since it is essentially a pipe blend that makes it allow more miraculous and makes me wonder if a pure analog cig was the go or just what happened. I think it is the Perique that takes it out I the cig realm and almost turns me off. JMHO
