A very good take on ahlusion aromatics. I'm hitting Devil Dog in an ebaron dripper right now and loving it, especially when I can only get a few puffs during a busy day at work. It does a fine job. I've run out of blue grass burley ! I also like the carribean and the honey cured.

Ahlusion aromatics are HARDCORE. They taste, smell and feel as close to combusted tobacco as I have ever experienced in a liquid. They are definitely not for the faint of heart and they WILL make an impression on you, good or bad. No one is left feeling apathetic about these liquids.

Non-aromatics are much milder in comparison and have a fresher, sweeter taste. I personally prefer these and can not tolerate the aros unless I'm pretty drunk.

The octopus - drill a new bigger hole further up and break off a matchstick in the original hole to block it. It will work wonders. It's main flaws are that the original hole is too small depriving the unit of air flow and a lack of a well at the bottom to catch the liquid. It's an easy build though with plenty of room to work.

My initial impression of "the octopus" was very favorable - and it DID give me a great vape when it was working right - but the way it's designed makes it too easy for things to get messy if you over-drip. With the way the coil/posts sit relative to the opening in the top cover, the lack of a "lip" on the base and the low positioning of the air inlet, this is very easy to do.

Now I've got a Bully and some kanthal on the way :) IGO will be probably be next in line to try if the Phoenix doesn't bring me ecstasy.

Vaped through 1.5 mil of VB on my way to work today (yum!) and now I'm finishing off a serving of Analog. I've noticed the latter starts tasting really good when it gets "cooked" - right around the time my clearo becomes too gunked up to continue ;)

I vape a good amount of Big Spirit daily. It is my primary car vape (along with W2V Managua) and living in So Cal I spend a lot of time in my car.

OK, I don't think I have seen this comparison yet so here goes...

Who here has vaped both NETCOM Big Spirit and GeJ Analog? Get us your thoughts, stat!

If you want ecstasy and have $105 get a Kayfun Lite from InTaste. :)

Look at you pimping the K-Lite everywhere you go. :D

So glad that it's working for you, and that you're loving it. It has honestly become my go to juice delivery system and I stand by my claim that it is a game changer. :)

I did the hole plug with a tooth-pick, worked great, I did drill my hole a little too large, I'd suggest starting with a 5/64" bit, I used the 3/32" and it's a bit too airy for me when aligned with the coil, I offset it ~45 degrees which seems to tighten the draw and I get good flavor & vapor.

After further use, even off-setting the hole gives me more air than I would like, I think I'll be plugging the hole and re-drilling with a 5/64" bit. The Tooth picks were firmly pressed into the holes and broken off, no leaks at all. BTW I've also trimmed the Factory Wick down when I first received mine.

I'll soon be in a position to do so since Big Spirit is next on my list in my ongoing quest for a clearo-friendly NET.

Wait a few days on NETCOM. I sense a disturbance in the Force and Uncle BJ's blend may be available in a matter of days.

:drool:

I believe with enough of us... we can triangulate where the location of that disturbance is located....

From my location... it appears just barely a little bit south of due west of my location... It appears to be a little west of Corona Ca.... :D

So, besides Big Spirit, I'm very tempted by Black Cavendish. I was never a pipe smoker but the description and reviews make it sound so... voluptuous.

It's one of NETCOMs better offerings. It's a smoky flavor with just enough sweetness to keep it from going dry. Pretty smooth and satisfying. Wish I could provide you with more descriptors but it is a Cavendish. Those are hard to nail down. But you will notice it being a smoky vape that is lightly sweet.

It's funny: I always loved the smell of good pipe tobacco but I was never able to get into pipe smoking because I couldn't break my cigarette smoker's habit of inhaling. With vaping, I finally get a chance to experience those flavors to some extent.

Oh my God... I just noticed the "custom extraction service" statement on NETcom's site. Remember how I said, many pages back, that I dreamed of being able to buy or make a liquid extracted from Nat Sherman MCDs or Cigaretellos? <drools>

Well, today was a day of changes for me. I ordered some Analog along with Patriot and some DeKang DK from GeJ, The Analog beat the pants off any comparable juice I've tried, even W2V's Pure Smoke. The other good thing is I won't have to pay shipping from two different vendors by switching to Analog. The other change was the DK. I make my own 555 as an ADV and never thought I would find a better juice. Wrong. The DK is better than the NET I mix myself. Just a light nuttiness that doesn't overwhelm the tobacco flavor. On the bright side, I won't lose out too bad finance wise as DeKang doesn't come close to the prices for NET's. Actually it doesn't cost much more than DIY.

Hi all,

I'm a new vaper... It's been only 5 days of vaping without any analogs. I have Halo Triton VV battery and the Triton tanks. I also got their tobacco sampler... I am not getting much complexity from most of them, but I guess they need to steep 1-2 weeks.

I smoked pipes and cigars in the past too. Lately, for analogs I was smoking about 1/4 packs of organic American Spirits (full flavor) a day.

I saw this thread and I started drooling :) I started reading from Post #1 and made it to post #2640!

I'm looking for NET juices which I can use with my Triton setup without much wear and tear also get most of the juices' nuances. It looks like Heather's Heavenly Vapes might be a decent starting point for me and my setup. I'm thinking about getting their 4 sample juice pack with:

Legend
Hunstman
Dragonfire
Dark horse

Any suggestions about these choices? I'm not looking for specific juice recreation of certain cigar/pipe/cigarettes. I'm just looking for NET with complex tobacco flavors. Shall I also consider other vendors to start with the NET juices? It sounds like my equipment (and wallet) might be limiting factors here too...

I see that Heather's Heavenly Vapes offers custom PG/VG ratios. For my future reference in terms of PG/VG ratio, is there are a "breakdown limit" for my Triton setup?

Thank you very much and I wish you all happy vaping :)

@ Chinook: Hello.

HHV is a great place to start after Halo. I also began with Halo juices, and still vape them (Southern Classic and Voodoo are daily vapes for me currently), but NETs stole my heart :)

Out of the HHV selections, Dark Horse is the least complex. It is a plain, very slightly sweet grassy tobacco. Whereas Huntsman adds layers and colors to that base. Legend is a solid pipe tobacco, with dark cherry and raisin notes, and very nice. Might I suggest Heavenly Army or Pirates Booty.

HHV and Goodejuice NETS perform well in the Triton Tank kit. I use one myself, and Organic #1 was fantastic in my Triton. Those NETs are safe to use, but you would still get better performance from a dripper. Yet, you're not ready for those yet, being so new to vaping. I think you would enjoy some HHV or Goodejuice in your Triton Tank kit. Just know that if you upgrade your gear later on, those juices will keep you enthralled.

@ Chinook: try ANALOG from Goodejuice. Analog Tobacco eJuice [ANLGTBCELIQ] - $4.99 :

I just re-read your post, and many think Analog is a fantastic American Spirit type liquid. Also, Big Spirit from NET.com.

Oh, 50/50 works well with the Triton kit. I don't have anything with a higher VG. The coils still lasted a good month on 50/50. Luckily, that's what Goodejuice uses for their NETS, and HHV is great with that ratio as well.

jefsview thank you very much. Instead of Dark Horse, I'll order samples of Pirates Booty (plus Huntsman, Legend and Dragon's fire).

I appreciate for the pointer for the Goodejuice NETS for the Triton tanks!

Also Want2vape NETs sound fantastic to me, but I think they might destroy my Triton kit from what I read :)

Cheers
