H+ Yellow-Mane is really different, at least to me. I can't think of another NET that I can compare it to. It's not in your face or anything, but it's got a little spice to it. Maybe slightly floral? I wish I was better at describing flavors... All I can say is to me it's really good.
Bourbon Seasoned? Well I do love bourbon...
Many are tasty out of the first week. Still love Heavenly Army unsteeped, since the tobacco comes through more the longer it steeps and I get more creaminess early on. But Huntsman needs the months. Huntsman just gets stronger and stronger.
Dark Horse hasn't changed in 4 months. Legend was good... I vaped it all before it could steep
The DF I have still tastes like the description for Sludge, so I can't in good conscious state one way or another on that one. Most HHV are good within the 1 month. Oompa (pre-dripper) took months as well. But depends on what you're looking for. Young Huntsman is still highly vapable -- it's just not "to die for" yet
Clay really is top shelf. Out of nowhere he reaches out to me via phone and email regarding my signature blend. It will be designed for the hardcore La Cosa NETstra. Heavy on the fire cured burley, shaped and enhanced by fresh, tart blackberry. The burley will be front and center and in your face and the clear star. The blackberry will be used to enhance elements of the fire cured burley that lie underneath, making it deeper and more full bodied...similar to the use of the maple in Maple Burley. This will not be a fruity or HHV style vape. This will be a hard core NETizen vape. I cannot wait! Dream juice for Uncle BJ.
3-Crown and The Boss have faded on me. On first-vape of those, they were outstanding.
Yesteryear is mild, but has a pepper/sharp spice note I like.
My guess to what is happening there is I over-vaped 3-Crown and The Boss and my tastebuds are just too used to them.
Even Blue Grass Burley has faded some, and even I find that hard to believe.
My experimental solution is to rotate daily. That's why I'm gathering new NETcom extractions. Change it up, keep my senses somewhat off-guard.
Yesteryear is one I expect to fade quickly on me. Black Cherry is outstanding, but I will be loading up Bourbon and Cognac tomorrow and the day after.
That is pretty awesome. The idea of blackberry or any fruit combined with tobacco doesn't generally sound appealing to me, but the way you describe it... I'll give this a try.
The bourbon is mild and slightly sweet, adds some depth and interest. I passed on H+YM due to Jerms review of W2V Blond (same cigar) but may give it a try since your tastes and mine seem to be similar most of the time.
I'm not big on fruity tobaccos but you sold me. Good to know the tobacco will be up front, not some fruity mystery vape.
It's not the typical put hair on your chest type I go for... I like it as a change of pace vape. I would suggest getting it in a sample size
I was sent a sample by a friend, and it ended up being an unintentional prank. I just couldn't get past the sweetener or caramel flavoring they use. I swear to god, just thinking about it makes me nauseous. It took me days to shake that rotten taste off my head.
We all know how subjective these things are. I'd just like to avoid similar juices in the future. I experienced something like that with BMist's Caramel Tobacco, so perhaps it's a particular ingredient/flavoring that doesn't agree with me.

A big DITTO for me. I found this to be unexpectedly wonderful. The bourbon is used perfectly to accentuate the tobacco...and adds a nice, slightly deep, sweet finish with bourbon background. It really "smokes" like a cigar too. It is a must try for any cigar buff.
Something strange has happened to my Huntsman in the last couple of months, or to my perception of Huntsman. When I first ordered it 6 months ago I wasn't a fan of it thinking it tastes like something synthetic with flavour notes that didn't sit well with me. Then after about 2-3 weeks of steeping it took on a wonderful pipe flavour with an inexplicable Earthy flavour that gave me associations with autumn leaves, bronzed sunsets and dessert wine. A couple of months ago I filled my Iclear 30 with it and I got a metallic taste and harshness that I didn't approve of but I put the blame for this squarely on the Iclear30 which I was using for the first time.
I have just in the last 2 days put Huntsman in my Evod and I get the same metallic harsh taste. Whatever it is, my perception of it has caused a loss of favor. I am equally not a fan of Dark Horse which is in the same family as Huntsman and some have considered it to be 'Huntsman Lite'.
On the other side of the coin my love for Dragon's Fire, Heavenly Army, Legend, Serendipity and Shadow have not wavered one bit from the day I got them. I consider all those in the same family as well. Over the last year they have somehow replaced each other in flavour as a result of different batches of production having slight variations. From what I've read on this forum the current day Serendipity is what Legend (Formerly Gandalf) used to taste like, or was it Dragon's Fire? Not sure.

Unfortunately there isn't going to be a tank that will decrease the rate of gunking over others, at least not to any notable or practical difference.
Dry burning is the key. I actually dry burn my Evod's when I sense they have gunked up. I remove the tank from the coils and house, keeping it upside down so it won't spill of course. Then I pull off the housing and plastic cover and dry burn the exposed coils. I lowered the voltage for dry burning so I can do a slower cooler burn that won't risk splitting the coils. Once they take on a grey ashy look I know the gunk has been burnt off and only carbon is left on them. Then it vapes like new again. After 2-3 dry burns I notice the performance starts to decrease and I rebuild it or replace it with a new pre-made head from a blister pack.

Vapo Marx,
Your question on V.B. gunk scale. All I can say about that is two days and my Pro Tank II literally shuts down.
My question is what tank is the absolute best for NETs vs longevity of the coil and wick?
Please not too many acronyms... makes a newbies life very difficult.
I am only now discovering the true mystique, spice and exotica of NET.com's Bombay now that I have loaded up my AGA-T2 with it. The subtle spiciness embued in the grassy burley is coming through.
I did a serious taste test of the 6 NET.com's juices that I had received a few weeks ago. Ran them in drippers with silica (1.5 ohm), then ekowool(1.5 ohm) and finally in mini-cartos (1.7ohm). I ran all 3 setups at the equivalent of 8.5 watts. The six juices that I tested were:
Bombay
Balkan
Black Cav
Chris' Blend
Big Spirit
Yesteryear
It took almost 3 hours of back and forth, and re-visit and switch but I've finally decided that I will be stocking up on multiple 60ml bottles of:
Balkan for Pipe
Yesteryear for Cigar
The others while good, did not hit me on all points that I was looking for. I'm not sure if this had to do with the type of tobaccos being used, or the flavour combinations.
Question for the pros: If I wanted to add another bottle, choice between Boss and Fire Cured Burley, what would you folks suggest I go for based on my current selection?

I'm no pro, but having had Balkan and Yesteryear, I'll throw in my
I really couldn't tell a whole lot of difference between Yesteryear and The Boss or any of the cigar liquids outside of H+ Yellow-Mane. Given the description of Fire-Cured Burley, it sounds to me like it will be a stronger version of Balkan. So I would say if you really like Yesteryear, give The boss a try. If you like Balkan, but wouldn't mind something stronger, give Fire-Cured Burley a go.
Also, how was Chris' blend?

Hmm... definitely something to think about. I'm leaning more towards the Fire-Cured. If it's too harsh by itself, I could use it to add some oomph to some other juices I have..
Chris' Blend: It was good, but having tried Black Cavendish as well, I discovered something in it that I did not care for (I know I know.. there will be hate mail!). An almost "slightly sour" note on the inhale. I detected that same note in Chris' Blend and it made me put it away, even though the other flavours in it were good.

You won't get hate mail from me... I didn't care for Black Cevendish either. Didn't think it was bad, just not my thing.
