"Mom, can I stay over at Timmy's?"
"Go ask your father."

"Dad, mom said I can stay at Timmy's if you say it's ok."
"Well, I guess you can since it's ok with your mother."

My parents never fell for that.

Maybe I should of changed my name to Timmy.

Boba's Bounty is good, really good. But.. it's not a tobacco. Some people taste it as tobacco

I always thought that is what gave it such wide appeal, ability to make people's brains think tobacco, but it is definitely a bakery vape.... the latter gives it even more wide appeal.

The quality of a juice to change and taste so differently to people is a hallmark of a commercially successful juice IMHO.

Similar to Chromataphore cells that allow chameleons to change colors, or other cells that allow Mimic Octopi to be shape-shifters.


By the way, annodized colored REOs have the light reflecting quality that chameleons do....you can photograph them in 20 different places and no photograph will render the color the same. Maybe REOs and certain juices are *hormonal*. :)

Aww, my bad man. I just looked at it again and had to magnify my page manually (huge type and all). I couldn't get it to zoom in, so I could only kinda see what was there. My bad.

Don't worry about it. I know it was the Tab talking.

By the way, MM, check the temporary Ahlusion "home page," and name that color for me.

It's a blue that "emerged from the later years of the Italian High Renaissance around 1520," from a style called Mannerism. The name of the blue is still widely unknown.

Lots happening today, 135 posts since ~4:30am :vapor:

Vapo Marx I've heat extracted using a small pot on the stove top, I use a small Ceramic cup/bowl for my Spice (freshly chopped), Coffee (freshly ground) or Tobacco and cover the extraction with 100% PG, ~50ml. I use a low heat for a slight simmer, and heat ~3 hours for Spices & Coffee, IMO anything more can impart bitterness from the Coffee or Spice. Tobacco is ~6-7 hour steep, judged by the intensity of aroma (don't know why, it seems to work for me).

I filter using Natural Brown Coffee Filters, usually twice for Coffee or Spice, thrice for Tobacco, I usually add enough PG to equal the 50ml I started the extraction since some is lost during the filtration process... especially if you try to rush the filtration step.

Sharon, I'd second the recommendation of Quick Nic and throw in Vape Rite, the Vape Rite NETS are in the 50/50 blend only, and my three favorite NETs are Naturally Flavored Rou's Natural Toasted Hazelnut Tobacco, Organic Flavored Madagascar Vanilla Tobacco, Organic Flavored Honey Tobacco, listed in order of preference (Flavor-wise). If you're looking for a straight Tobacco from them try Naturally Flavored House Extracted Tobacco, for every bottle ordered you choose a 3ml sample of your choice, three bottles ordered = three 3ml samples, a nice way to try a few others.

Bronze, I'm finishing the last 3ml of Proudest Monkey with Hump Back ready to take its place, looking forward to some good Turkish... How does it compare to the Sahara juice?

Shat, I wholly agree on the NET.com Gold, the flavor is straight tobacco but not overwhelming, I got another 30ml headed my way with 30ml of Dover Court, I enjoyed the Vanilla Cavendish/ Virginia Blend on that juice.

Wow, I am starting to fall in love with this Black Cav. I don't know if it's me or if it's the new atomizer head breaking in but it gets richer and more interesting the more I vape it. I'm glad I ordered it in 8mg 'cause it's the perfect vape for late-night contemplation.

That is all. Good night.

That is another one I get to try next week. Looking forward to it.

Oh no! Can't run out of Monkey Juice. That's what I think I'll vape this morning. Just had a go around with Humpback yesterday. I just sampled Sahara Blend a couple/few months ago. Still vaping Humpback. :)

Last night I tried something that just might fit in here. I was using both a Reo Grand and a dripper. In the Reo, I had A+ Maple Burley. In the Dripper, I had A+ Maple Wild Wood. The purpose of this exercise was to compare the two and find out which one I liked best... It was important to me that I used juices from the same vendor. They both had the same ratio, and the same nic level. The coils, voltage and wick material was the same.

Results... Both juices had a nice Maple flavor. Not a Syrup type of maple, just the "essence" of maple. Both of the juices had the maple present on the inhale, and the nice tobacco on the exhale. What I found was that the Wild Wood was much more bold, in your face type of flavor. The maple was very apparent and could not be missed. The boldness of the Wild Wood translated as more harshness to me. I prefer the smooth mellow taste of the Maple Burley. To me, the tobacco touches were very similar between the two. The problem was that the hardness of the Wild Wood pushed the tobacco to the back. There was a distinct difference between the inhale and the exhale.

What to take away from this? In my opinion, if you are looking for a hard hitting vape, go with the Wild Wood. If you are looking for a mellow relaxing vape, go with the Burley. The taste of both of these two juices is difficult to separate. If you find that the Burley is too "tame", muted or diffused, go with the Wild Wood blend. This is like what Clay has done by offering additional flavor shots with his blends.

So you can get an idea of my tastes, this is what I vape: A+ Maple Burley, A+ Smooth Criminal, NET Black Cavendish, NET Coventry, NET Big Spirit, NET Chris' Blend. These are my "go to" juices. Everything else is just playing. There is nothing in HHV or MOV line up that I care for, although MOV does have one or two that I would use, if I could not get anything else.

I'm kicked back with NETCOM's Big Spirit and trying not to look at the leaves littering my lawn...:facepalm: I'm missing summer already, even though it's been pretty "Summer-Like" the last couple days. I just placed an order at NETCOM and was looking at the Pumpkin, but just couldn't pull the trigger on it... but I did get 15ml of BJ's Blackberry Burley. Reminiscent of summer!

I find that Big Spirit is a nice, mellow, convincing vape... but it also convinced me that I'm really not much of a "Ana-like" cig-seeker no-mo! While I did smoke 1+ packs a day of the Reds, it sure wasn't for the taste. I did like to dabble with pipe tobaccos and really enjoyed cigar time with my buddies while hanging around quaffing some craft brews so I'm really diggin' the pipe and cigar extractions way more. I did highly recommend Big S to a few others as the road to explore in their quest to find the "right juice" that has that familiar analog taste. Patriot is another I have tried and recommended to others but I think that's as far as I'm gonna go in that direction. Patriot and some of the WTA juices (I know, not a NET) did wonders getting me to make the switch fairly painlessly. It sure does feel great to have no craving for the stinkies any longer, but developing a real appreciation for the aromatic pipe and cigar blends. I was never a tobacco connoisseur by any means but I'm starting to find my way with the help of the NETizens here. You guys Rock!

Pumpkin Pie Tobacco, a strong cup of coffee and a view of the turning leaves through my window.

This is a good vape. You can really taste the spices but the tobacco is still very discernible, and there's no cloying sweetness.

Getting coffeed up too and vaping MOV Chai Tea Latte. The creamy cinnamon vape is going well with a cup of coffee, I'm guessing the PP tobacco will work well for me too. Gotta figure out a couple more to try from NETcom, maybe try a cold extraction on one of them.

Speaking of PP tobacco, once I've had a fill of the ol' chai I'm thinking it's going to be a Gold Rising afternoon. Ur in for a treat with that one.

Good review Malks. I've tried MOV juices (Full Virgina Flake RY4, Southern Gentlemen, and Apache). The only one I truly liked, and would possible reorder is RY4. However, I would love to try some by Clay. I just know he could make it as good, or even better. Next, I tried Goodejuice (Patriot, Vita Bella, and Natural Perique). Not liking those to well at all -- even after weeks of steeping.

I've just reached a conclusion. I'm not wasting anymore money on other venders.

NET.com (Clay) has every damn thing I need. I adore Black Cavendish, Coventry, Gold, 3-Crown, ...and can't wait to try out all the other stuff he has. As I mentioned in the NET.com thread... Clay is the only person I've found that can make anything taste great. Maybe it's the heat or cold extraction. Either way is great, and you can taste superb manufacturing when you vape his products.

ed..glad you found a vendor you connect with. It makes a huge difference and you are owed a break from vendor searching. We can all relate. Sampling can get real old after awhile. I too am on a new vendor moratorium. I tire of the excess inventory, expense, and vaping juices I don't care for. Now I'm lean and everything I vape are juices I enjoy. It's a good place to be. That said, I have learned in life that nothing is forever. I'm sure I will be trying other vendors that I have previously left unexplored. Not sure when, but I'm certain I will. I never fully explored W2V or MOV (love Apache) and haven't touched others like DV and others. I know there are some gems in there. In time I'll get to it. Meanwhile, enjoy your break from vendor searching and dig those NETCOMs. :)
