I've enjoyed MoV Full Virginia Flake and Apache. The former is a NET RY4. It's a good choice for fans of Western RY4s that want an authentic tobacco taste, while still getting a lot of sweet flavor. It's very good, but I prefer GeJ GJ4 since its balance leans more towards tobacco. Apache is a nice, strong pipe tobacco. It's like Ahlusion's Devil Dog!, but with less bite. Devil Dog! is too potent for me to be an all-day vape, but I can vape Apache for long stretches.

I find Apache to be very tolerable and can vape it for long stretches as well.

Okay, though they used to come with big britches, I am sure that their turnover rate is such that, well, change that. They were always made to order. Anyhow, I will wait and see. If DF changes to how it used to come in the mail, I wouldn't be too upset. LOL. Huntsman is the one I am going to watch like a hawk.

I find Dark Horse to be Huntsman Light. Some call Dark Horse Diet Huntsman. :)

When I got my re-order of Huntsman in a month or so ago, I gasped! It looked nothing like the Huntsman I'd been nursing, trying to make it stretch. My months old Dark Horse is about the same color as that fresh Huntsman now, but it's still just the base flavor. But it'll work now to stretch out the last few drops of Huntsman until the newer bottle gets a tad more color.

I'm starting to panic now though, since I have only 40ml left and I use it in a tank everyday. Need to reorder soon!

I have a little 3mil bottle of Dark Horse that is one year old and it is still very light colored.

That got my attention...what pear flavors do you suggest from them other than White Lie?

Nice Pear (super refreshing) and Cinful Pear (a dash of cinnamon added). If you like pear, you will like the three Heather offers. Very authentic. As Robin (another thread) says, you can taste the grain of the pear in Nice Pear. She's right! :)

I had Heather mix me a custom juice. It was their Caramel Apple Tobacco (a non-NET) but instead of apple, I had her substitute it with the Nice Pear flavoring...hence, Caramel Pear Tobacco. It didn't work. :(

It sounded way better in my mind. Although my Father swears that lightly salted watermelon is delicious. I haven't tried it, but I do eat a lot of watermelon for snacks throughout the day.

I shot a few watermelon today with an AR chambered in 300 Blackout (same brass ... 5.56 with the neck trimmed off, sub sonic 127 grain .30 caliber) with a short barrel and suppressor in a muddy pit. Lot of fun. Shot a ton of 5.56 and 9mm, too.

I always salt watermelon. :)

I'm sorry. I'm philosophically opposed to steeping. If its not good on day one it will never again pass these lips.

Just to ask, what's the general opinion on MOV?

In general, some people like them and some people don't ;)

Me personally, I'm a fan. They are in my current top 5 along with Ahlusion, GeJ, HHV, and W2V.

Some of their NETs I love and some are just OK to me. Southern Gentleman took a bit to grow on me, but once it did it's become one I love. SoGent is Grampa, easy to dismiss until you sit down and listen. It's a really complex pipe blend, but some of the complexities took a while for me to notice and appreciate.

Pendragon and Apache were love at first vape. Apache is the gruff friend who comes on strong but has a good heart and has your back. An aggressive, authentic, smoky English pipe blend that is easier to vape for long sessions than some similar blends. Pendragon is the sensual lover; many dislike her but she can do no wrong in my eyes. For me PenD is a lightly medium, leafy tobacco with some bite on the exhale, with subtle notes of vanilla and cherry and a remarkable smoothness.

Sunday Morning and FVF RY4 are ok to me, but others seem to like them more. Sunday Morning is sort of similar to PenD, with coffee and cream instead of vanilla and cherry, but doesn't click with me as well. To me, JG Blend from Ahlusion is a far better coffee-bacco. The RY4 has some buttery notes that sometimes worked and sometimes bothered me. I much prefer GeJ's GJ4 for a NET RY4.

But that's just like, you know, my opinion man. Ymmv, tis, fwiw, yadda yadda yadda.

Don't go too off topic. Don't want to be on any ignore lists, now.

With MOV's NETs, you get the occasional review (on the website itself) with folks claiming some of them taste like an ash tray, an ashed in cup of coffee, or fish oil. I personally have let ash and cigarettes sit in cups of water for days and the smell/imagined-taste is not pretty. I certainly wouldn't want that, and that's exactly what I'd be reminded of if the taste is somewhat near that.

However, like with the Apache, others have accused it of being like a real BBQ campfire smoke. That's the type of uniqueness I would find somewhat interesting in a vape. As long as it wasn't a bad, sour, acrid, chemical, or other displeasure, I'd probably find something I like about it.

When I smoked actual cigarettes, I found Malboro Southern Cuts to be truly interesting, as they gave off flavors of recently smoked leather (real, thick saddle leather, not like a pleather couch) and fire smoke... even at times, toasted marshmellow. They were truly a taste-testers' cigarette, leagues above anything else. I don't mind earthly southern flavors one bit.

So in everyone's experience, would you say the MOV's are at least devoid of those chemical/acrid/oil/ash-water tastes? Other than that, I'm pretty open to truly rustic flavors.

(I may call MOV and see if they'd be kind enough to cut me a deal on a ton of sample bottles... I'd be willing to spend $25 on say, six 7.ml samples.)

I didn't get any chemical/acrid/oil/ash-water taste from their NETs. Yes, Apache does indeed have a smoky note from the Latakia tobacco in it. Some like it and some don't.

NET in general can taste very odd to someone who's never had them or isn't aware of how extracted tobacco can have a very authentic tobacco taste. They just aren't going to work for a lot of people. Someone who's previously smoked cigars and pipes will know more of what they are getting into; cigarette smokers not so much as cigarettes have very little actual tobacco taste. Many of the people here, like myself, were cigarette smokers who learned what real tobacco is like through vaping NET. Someone who has only smoked cigs may THINK they will like the taste of real tobacco in an ejuice, but the only way to find out if that's true is to try NET.

I feel this whole "ash" thing has run amok. When people used that term in reference to tobacco eliquid, it was always tobacco absolute as the culprit. Now, I feel, people are using that term when they vape/taste a natural tobacco in under-performing hardware. What happens when some NETs are not used with an adequate liquid delivery system? Quick build-up, resulting in a heating of said build-up, which produces what? Ash taste. It's, IMO, not the liquid necessarily that taste like ash, but the the vaping of its build-up. Done.
