Hey folks,

I wish I could read through 1600 pages of posts, but maybe someone can answer my question. Way back on page 1 last March, luceblueboy wrote:



He had me all up until he described it as tasting like Vermillion River Kentucky Blend, which to me tastes overwhelmingly like nuts. I was looking for a good pipe tobacco juice (think Capt Black or Black & Mild) but any sweet, aromatic tobacco sounded nice. So I read and searched and looked and the reviews of Vermillion River were outstanding... I bought the Kentucky Blend and got the Apple Blend as a free sample. I cannot taste anything but nuts, which was so disappointing. I couldn't even vape it, it's so distasteful to me. I tried letting it sit... airing it out... trying it again many times after waiting weeks between, thinking it couldn't be that bad and HAS to taste like tobacco to SOME degree... but nope. NUTS NUTS NUTS.

I have read this complaint from others about pipe tobacco juice in general... that vendors seem to think it tastes like nuts.

So my question is, does anyone know of a sweet, caramel/vanilla Cpt Black or Black & Mild type ejuice that does NOT have any nut tones in it??

THANKS!!!

Thanks Shat! Pop over to the thread Id love to talk to you.

I also saw you say that you were in Laguna last year. If you ever come out this way again you have to let me know. Id love to have you come by the studio. You and Jason would have a lot to talk about. Your work is absolutely amazing. I have a guy in oregon who you would probably have a lot in common with as well. He goes by Sheepdawg Glass his name is Jordan. You guys are on the same level for sure. Great to see you buddy!!

Can you link me to your thread, please.

Small world; I know Sheepdawg! Good guy and a great artist.

Thanks. It's baffling to me how people think it's ok to vape where you can't smoke. Especially in movie theaters with sub ohm coils! It's the very thing that's going to get vaping banned even more than it is now.

My guess is mostly younger Vapers who've been told they are Special, and rules don't apply to them. One reason Civics should be put back in the School Curriculum and Parents should be Parents instead of "Friends", I hate that.

Here's a review of three Highbrow e-liquids. Exotic Blend is a curious concoction that's a love/hate juice. It's almost like Highbrow tried to replicate the flavor of a burning tobacco cigarette -- ashy and gruff with a pine-seed flavor. It's not what I like in a NET, but I can see why some vapers love it. Menthol worked better for me since the strong menthol gave the juice a better overall balance and counteracted some of the things I didn't like in Exotic Blend. The one I liked best in this bunch wasn't a NET or an artibacco. It was Peach Thymbra, which is made with a peach reduction. As a fan of natural fruit flavors, this was one of the best peach vapes I've had and I can't think of one I've enjoyed more.

Sad thing is is that the guy I was arguing with is probably an adult. He probably hates police and any form of authority. God forbid someone tells him not to vape where smoking isn't allowed.

I just don't freaking get how one doesn't understand that flaunting your vaping in a non smoking area is ok and without consequences. I sure am glad my Momma raised me right to respect others. Humans freaking embarrass me.

Are you sure Highbrow is a NET? I don't think it is. Same with BWB.

So you're saying that vaper in the movie theater is NOT the most important person in the whole wide world?

Have a question about vita Bella. I loaded a protank and the first 3rd was a beautiful smooth net. Its had a month steep and tastes awesome.

After the first 3rd it started taking on a slightly ashy taste. Not off putting at all just different. More Smokey than the initial vapes.

Is this normal? It was a freshly cleaned head so it couldn't be gunky coil. I was vaping under 4 volts too. I'm not complaining. The taste is still great but it definitely changed.

Hmmm.... you're saying after the 3rd puff or tank full?

On a non NET note: I received an itaste SVD today. Pretty nice piece of kit. You can use it by voltage or wattage. It has a built in ohm meter, takes 1 18650, 1 18350 or 2 18350s. I've only tried it in 18650 mode but so far so good. Build quality seems to be good. The fire button feels quality, as do the power + and - buttons. It does have a learning curve of what combo of buttons to press for what. But other than that it's really great.

My Provari bit the dust and won't fire after I cleaned the inside with 99% ISO as per ProVape's directive. So I submitted a ticket for warranty. So I'm using the itaste SVD and my Segelei Zmax telescopic flat top (love that mod!).

I think once I completely figure out all the button combos on the itaste SVD I'll like it just as much, if not more than my Segelei Zmax. Which I like almost as much as my Provari.

If you're considering an itaste SVD quit thinking and buy it. It's a solid mod and comes with 2 iClear 16s and 5 extra heads.

Hmmm...Never had that issue. But then I never vaped it from a protank either. I usually vape it in a CE3, a Nova, or an RBA and don't have that issue with any of them. Wish I could help you BC.

My answer to all Vita Bella-related things is to let it steep more. Give it another five months. :)

The Black Cavendish from NET.com is what you're looking for, I had e-mailed Clay with this exact request, after he checked out the Captain Black description he recommended said liquid; Black Cavendish

You might get a small one with each type of extraction (hot & cold) as their will be subtle differences.

THANKS I happened to arrive at this very thing myself after more poking around earlier. Am really looking forward to it!!

Thanks bronze. I have a 30ml bottle that is off limits for hopefully 5 weeks...I mean months...lol

I take really good care of my tanks and heads. I keep them really clean. I suppose it's possible that chain vaped a bit too much and burnt some juice. I'm awful careful though.

I have a k100 mech and igo-l on the way. I may reserve that rig for nets and complex blends. Some vapes should only be enjoyed in the most pure form possible. I'm pretty stoked to get my hands on it. Rebuilding isn't my favorite thing but chasing the dragon requires it.
