Well I've had a chance to drip some 7 Leaf now. It is of course unsteeped. The flavor is mild, somewhat woodsy, with a hint of anise. It's inoffensive and unexciting. I'm not detecting any sign of the ashiness that I associate with TA. I looked up some reviews of FlavorArt's 7 Leaf and they seem similar enough that I would believe this is made from it. Not sure what to make of the claim of natural extraction at this point.

As a side note, Ekowool seems annoying in an Igo-L with microcoil compared to cotton. It almost seems to wick juice away from the coil. The coil end will go dry while the extra length stays moist so I start getting dry hits after only 4 or 5 puffs with about 4 drops of juice.

Been flat out people and have had little time to post. Just want to say (and I will bet it's been said ad nauseam) that H1n1 (what's with that damn name? Who names a juice after swine flu?) is a top notch all day vape. This NET is pretty much a Ry4 but could be a maple syrup. The flavour seems to morph regularly. Sometimes I am getting chocolate notes and others it's a nutty-choco type flavour. Most of the time it's Ry4.

Really loving it and can't put it down. Now, who's gonna be my mule for GEJ's analog NET? ;)

7leaf is a standard Flavorart concentrate used in many synthetic liquids. I used to get a liquid back in 2009 from FreedomsmokeUSA simply called '7 leaf'. Thank god burley's and orientals have come a long way since then.

It's about as naturally extracted tobacco as a McDonald's burger has organic beef. I am guessing that when the proprietor says the ingredients are naturally extracted in the context of synthetic liquids, they mean that the synthetic flavourings are coming from natural sources? Makes no sense to me. The synthetic flavourart liquid called 7-leaf has been around a long time and its not a NET by any stretch of the imagination.

Hello there!

I believe this is my first time posting in this thread, which seems a bit strange to me as I've read far more of this thread than anything else on ECF. You guys have guided me to some of my favorite juices (HHV, VCV and Want2Vape NETs) and I have a long list of things I want to try that I've read about here. So far, I have found that when I vape tobacco, I far prefer NETs to lab juices, though my experience is still quite limited and I have tried NETs that I dislike and I am willing to believe there are non-NETs that I might enjoy.

All that said, I recently ordered and just received a small bottle of 7 Leaf Tobacco from ECBlend and I thought I'd see what folks thought about it. I found this:


And a few other similar quotes. I was a bit surprised because on ECBlend's page for the juice it says


So I'm curious, is this stuff naturally extracted or not? Is ECBlend lying, or is there some trickiness to the wording going on?

I haven't tried the juice yet, I plan to find my Igo-L and try a few drops of this and the other (non-tobacco) bottles from my order in a little while.

Anyway, thank you all for all the great information on this thread and thanks for reading.

El, Jungle Juice sounds awesome! JG Blend with nana instead of coffee, works for me. Haven't had any Ahl banana vapes yet.

Tom, if you do a search on videos in the micro coil thread there's a bunch of them made by ECFers, here's one of the newer ones http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=10605298 . I'm going to start a thread in the intructional section to consolidate them by having people post their micro vids there, I'll let you know when that's ready.

Mann, sorry to hear about that response from HHV, sounds frustrating. How are those DarthVapers steeping out?

Unfortunately, aside from maybe the BFF (one I know you're not interested in) and Vanilla Tobacco, they seem to be a bit of reverse-steepers. That is, unless, they are going through growing pains. Not giving up on them or more from them that I haven't had.

Uh oh, reverse steeping not good. Wonder if the flavor boost you got in the vanbacco may be the way to go with all when I order.

Hmmm...don't think that is it. I think it may just be the flavors themselves. Berserk wad good fresh, but now the flavors seem in conflict.

Ahlusion's Dulce Cubanito is working for me today. With a cotton wicked micro coil it's feeling more... ummmm... wet works I guess. Very much synthetic Cuban cigar tasting, rounded out with an extracted Broadleaf cigar wrapper flavor. The flavor has a feeling of coating the mouth, leaving a cigar aftertaste that lingers. Not wowing me in a way to up it to reorder status, but still pleasant and easy to vape. I took my IGO-L out of retirement to try a cotton micro on, and the flavor seems about as good as my prefered smaller drippers.

Just tried GeJ much vaunted Patriot, Arcada Gold, Vita Bella. Have to say was a lil disappointed with Patriot and Arcada Gold. Not bad, but not as great as i hoped. i have an aversion to Absolute and leather chem taste. i have no idea if its in there but i tasted a lil of something like that in there.

Vita Bella i get the hype, it's earthy, lil grassy, and reminds me of an analog even at 6mg. I've been mixing Aroma WTA with some of these and it deepens the flavor profile, even more analog substitutish. but i vape mostly pastry and fruits

Since you liked Vita you may like some others in their Flavor Infused NET line. Maybe try GJ4.

Haven't had Acadian Gold yet, doesn't seem to get a positive mention much. I was going to try that and Organic #1 next time, but thinking of doing Analog instead of Acadian. And there's the new Grasshopper too...

FIDDLESTICKS!!! That reminded me I forgot all weekend and this morning to get an order in to Ahlusion. I have been without Maple Burley now for over 3 weeks and am starting to FREAK OUT. I do not in any way like having to set my alarm on the west coast to buy liquids...but the quality control, customer service, and consistency at Ahlusion is so strong it is worth it and I get why they do it.

Alarm set for the crack of dawn tomorrow.

I might as well ask even though we have covered it ad nauseum over the past few months...any "must try" liquids at Ahlusion I may not have sampled yet?

I don't know what you haven't tried.. Wild Woods? Sahara? Smooth Criminal? JG Blend? All aromatics?

Speaking of ahlusion....I need to test their stuff out and I don't want to go all hog wild because I have a nice net stash.

Of my NETs, my 4 favorites (in this order) are:

1. Vita Bella
2. GJ4
3. Grandpa's Night Cap
4. Godznilla

What would be the most logical choices for Ahlusion consider the flavor profiles above? I wouldn't mind a more "desertish" net either. I like sweet tobacco flavors like mom and pops tobacco haze (I know this isn't a net but gives a better picture of my personal preferred profile). Vita Bella is like the perfect dividing line of sweeter and earthier to me. It doesn't cross the sweet line but it's awful close.

TIA!

Seriously consider Vurley from the aromatic line, since you seem to like vanilla in your bacco. It's fairly strong tobacco, but I don't think you'll find it too strong. The roasted vanilla bean flavor pairs amazingly well with the Burley tobacco.

The Wild Wood line has a great earthy/woodsy flavor, combined with whatever flavor of WW you choose. Maybe try Vanilla WW or the new Caramel WW (neither of which I've tried).

Smooth Criminal is a must-try for any tobacco fans who try Ahlusion, many fall in love with it. Starts out fairly sweet/desertish and transformes into more of a straight tobacco after many weeks.

If you're interested in fruit tobacco at all, Ahlusion's fruit flavors are the cream of the crop.

Jerms,

Won't comment on the juice but the coil is the work of a master craftsmen. I will not mention what the whick looks like but I assume it works and tastes better than what it looks like it is. ;)

Say what... no not that "Jellyfish".

Haha. Nope, not a master craftsman, just a man with a nail, some wire, a torch, and a tweezers.

For anyone interested in micro coil videos, I just posted a thread in the tips and tricks sections. Will be PMing the video makers now so videos should start popping up soon. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=472178

Jerms I saw your review of SC on the Ahlusion site. I am trying to remember why I haven't ordered SC in the past. Was there potentially chocolate or ::gulp:: raisin flavor involved here? Was it just the stupid and, to me, offensive name? Was it the TREMENDOUSLY dooshy photo? Seriously, I don't want to vape axe body spray. In fact the fact that men's body spray EXISTS to me is a sign that the apocalypse is on the horizon. I think that is what happens in the Book of Revelations right before the Lamb of God opens the first of seven seals.

I am going to have to FORCE myself to buy SC because honestly everything about the branding of that juice makes me ANGRY.
