I can vouch for all 3 GeJ flavors and they are all great! I can all day vape Patriot and Natural Perique; Vita Bella is a little too sweet for all day with me, but I do hit it in the evening when reading.
Once, less than 4 months ago, I would have thought the same thing. Now, Vita Bella isn't sweet enough
Or, I should say, isn't as sweet as it could be. I still consider VB relatively only slightly sweet. But no sweeter than Organic #1.
It's like MOV's Hey Jack. It's really not sweet, it's just the maple notes tricks your mind into making you think it's sweet. The same, I think, with the vanilla in VB.
I'm afraid my 600+ ml of juice will have more friends in the cupboard...at this rate, I have almost 2 years' worth of juice and I need more???
In the model railroading world, people who mess with a variety of scales (like HO, N, and 027 all at once) refer to themselves as "rubber gaugers". I can relate as I do that as well with a couple different narrow gauge scales. Maybe you're a rubber vaper? I am and I'm proud to identify with a number of flavors...

Hey all,
I've been a bit absent lately due to being extremely busy both with work and my studies. The studies have involved an essay and workshop questions. It's been a crazy period and I am well in need of a break. Thankfully vaping has been my companion throughout and I enjoy putting the books down for 5 minutes to vape and enjoy the choices available in my rotation.
Yesterday I was thrilled to find in my vape mail (first vape mail in weeks), a lovely sampler set of home made extraction liquids from Boomerdude. There are about 15 8ml bottles of NET concentrate. There are some real beauties amongst them too. Extracts of Borkum Riff, Nat Sherman No.2, Rocky Patel, Kuba Kuba, Acid Blondie, Cavendish and many others. There is also pre-mixed dark honey, RY4 and 555. Of the pre-mixed liquids the Ry4 is easily my favourite but they are all good. I've only briefly been able to explore them because of my studies and silly little obstacles like a lack of bottles for DIY mixing.
I have mixed some of the Borkum Riff and Nat Sherman (seperately with PG/VG). The former is just divine. It's like smoking a pipe. There is something special about home made extractions. They are unique, raw and personal. It's a bit like a home made wine. No one can quite emulate it. The borkum Riff in particular has to be one of the best pipes I've had because it is different to the typical grassy tones one experiences in liquids like BGB-ahlusion, Balkan-NET.com and Apache-MOV. It has an undertone of grassiness but it's more like that fresh, almost manure like grassiness I remember from the wafting scent when the pipe smokers amongst my grandparents would blaze up. And I have only tried 2 of the stash Boomerdude sent to me. The Nat Sherman No.2 is smooth, woody and oaky. Are they all this good!?
When I first opened the bottles the aroma wafted in my face like no other liquid I've had before. I guess this is because they are in concentration form. Putting my nose up against these bottles is like sticking my nose against a fine cigar or pipe tobacco. It's something else! I am looking forward to trying the rest of them and hope to report on them in coming days and weeks.
Thank you so much Boomerdude. You are/were one of Natural Tobaccos best kept secrets.
I was also thankful to receive a bottle of scotch cut and Erinmore from Scarfy during our rendezvous in Sydney when her and Mr Scarfy came to town 2 weekends ago. Both are sensational (Both Scarfy's or both liquids you ask? Both and both!). The Erinmore is a quintessential grassy type of pipe but with a good bite to it and some bitterness just to let you know this liquid is no pretender. The scotch cut also has a respectable bitter bite to it and does in fact have a kind of scotch undertone to it. Both fantastic liquids.
I am going to be a bit busy over the next week. I am going to Perth for a wedding on Friday and will return on Monday. If I don't respond to any comments over the next 5-7 days that is why, but I will try and stick my nose in occasionally and see how you are all doing and what you are vaping!
I am going to pan right back to where I last stopped reading and read everything from there when I get half a chance. If you guys have been busy I might take a week to catch up.

Homemade extractions? People do that? Gawd, I'd love to extract some Nat Sherman MCD; that was my favorite cigarette. I need to read up on this.
Edit: Actually, it was Cigaretello Filter, but they stopped making those years ago and that's why I switched to MCDs. Close but not exactly the same.

Just rebuilt a Phoenix RBA using a 10-wrap, 30ga microcoil with cotton ball wick. Saturated it with 7-1/2 month old Vita Bella.
Shazam!!!!!
Shazam!!!!!
Tiny? Not really. It dialed in at 2.2 ohms. A little higher than I wanted but it's fine.
Yes, compared to electronics it is small to be sure!
Most atomizer rebuilders use 28 - 32 gauge Kanthal A-1.
Micro-coils are wonderful things. I have been doing 7 wraps of 28g Kathal with 3mm Ekowool and loving it. It's just perfect for me.
I've just been getting into micro-coils and liking the performance so far. I like the idea of the cotton ball wick too. Easy to slip out and replace without having to rebuild the coil. With the gunky NETs I vape, this is important. And the puffy cotton ball wick ends are easy to stuff in the well as opposed to silica or standard cotton strand wick.
I'm thinking I'm probably going to need a better atty for this GeJ stuff... Lots of gunk reports on Vita Bella. I use protanks/evods pretty much exclusively because they are easy. I have a few joytech 510 disposable attys too, but I really don't like using them. Seems like I can only get 3-4 decent hits before I'm tasting metal. Which I don't really understand why, because when I do blow them out, I swear there must be a ml or 2 there. Seems like most of the juice I drip in ends up in this "black hole" of a juice reservoir, never to be vaped. These things have been an endless source of frustration for me.. so dare I ask.. what's a good RDA for a beginner?

People have made their own extracts.. check it out.

I'm a beginner, tried dripping with a 510 disposable and had terrible luck. I got a Smoktech RDA ("Octopus") last night and I'm loving it. I find it very easy to use and it looks like it's gonna be easy to rebuild and customize when I get around to it. Can't beat it for ~10 bucks.

Oh Sharon, you ask 10 people and you'll get 10 opinions swearing from one end of the Earth to the other that their gig is the absolute best. So beware.
Here's my opinion...the simplest rebuildable atty is the Phoenix RBA/RDA. There are three basic parts. The base with the pos/neg screws, a chamber, and a drip tip. Nothing fancy whatsoever and easy to rebuild with any kind of wicking media. They can be got (for example) here... Phoenix Bully Rebuildable Atomizer - RBA [gv-BullyAtomizer] - $10.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more for a measly $11. It provides a full flavor/feel as good as any rebuildable on the market. And yes, I have Genesis and Kayfuns for 10 times the price.
It's an excellent introductory device to RBAs. And there are plenty of us to help you rebuild it if you require help. Don't forget you will need wick and wire. But store-bought, 100% cotton works well. 30 ga Kanthal A-1 is good for making micro-coils.

Before you vape on a 510 (or at least after a couple good hits), do a quick pull on the drip tip to draw the liquid back up in the atty (from the reservoir). You should be able to get another hit off of that one and then just redrip. I think I've gotten two bad hits off my good workin' attys in 2013. LOL
