Gold Rising from www.ahlusion.us
The juice: Gold Rising is a honey tobacco in Ahlusion's non-aromatic line. juice is 12mg nic, 50% pg/vg, a few months old.
The Hardware: cotton wicked micro coil, 28ga Kanthal at 1 ohm on an IGO-L; vaped on a mechanical mod
Ratings are from 1-5 depending on where a juice falls in an attributes spectrum. Only the last rating, "overall", is based on 5 being the best.
Sweetness (1 is very dry, 5 is very sweet): 3. Nice, medium level of sweetness that seems to come from the honey, which feels sweet and tangy. The sweetness feels natural and doesn't overwhelm during long vaping sessions.
Tobacco Impact (1 is very mild or simple tobacco, 5 is very aggressive or complex): 3. This isn't quite the medium tobacco that I would normally give around a 3, but it does overall feel very much like a tobacco vape. I like the tobacco used, works well with the honey. Like many tobaccos in Ahlusion's non-aromatic line, it's a pretty neutral blend, and has a little bit of leafiness.
Vapability: 4. It has kind of an odd tang that doesn't always work for me, but I'm in the mood for it enough to pick it up on a semi-regular basis. When I do vape it, it works for a fairly long time. I've vaped it around 8 hours this session and it doesn't get tiring. The flavor has legs too, and doesn't fade much at all during a long session.
Flavor Accuracy: 1. Ahlusion describes this as their take on an RY4. I'm not sure how they figure that, the statement is just plain inaccurate. An RY4 is a combination of tobacco, caramel, and vanilla, and this is clearly a honey tobacco. I wish they would remove the RY4 reference, as it just causes confusion as to what this vape is. Now, as a honey tobacco, it's quite good. The honey has a tang/sour/fermented taste that may not have much mass appeal, but it's been a fun and enjoyable vape for me.
Overall: 3.5. I like Gold Rising quite a bit. I won't reorder it, their Honey Cured is a similar vape to this in their aromatic line, but with more tobacco and a flavor I prefer, wins out for me. I've enjoyed my time with Gold Rising though, it's been odd, weird, intriguing, and often highly enjoyable.

Taking a break from my NETcom lovefest with some GeJ Organic. I do like the voluptuous mouthfeel/vapor production of this higher-VG juice even with the increased tendency toward wicking/gunking issues. I'm wondering if I should go for 60/40 or even 50/50 on my next NETcom purchase - but would I do well to order with an extra shot of extract in that case?
I think I read in the NET.com thread, that Clay uses VG base for the higher VG ratios, and a PG base for the higher PG ratio... so that should offset flavor discrepancies. Which is.... well, it's neat of him to use both extracts to suit his customers.
London is still one of my go-to juices, LOVE the stuff! I'm a fan of the Managua as well but I still haven't tries the Louisville... and W2V is closed next week due to a family emergency!!! I hope everything is ok there...
I just finished off the last of the London I had sitting on my dresser
... They're taking orders, but not filling them until they get back next week. Louisville and London are gonna have to wait for a while.Friggin nice line-up
. The NETCOM Black Cavendish is another I can't put down once I start. The must-tries are piling up quick! Has anyone else here tried the H1N1 Shatner recommended? I'm not much of a sweet vape guy, but damn that TA/NET hybrid(?) really is a winner! Really in the family of RY4's, but with some extra depth with some spiciness and cinnamon hints!
Man, it's all about the
Get the corncob pip out for that one.
And I was all into getting my hands on it until I hit the site and... well, not this week. I'm just going to wait until the situation is resolved over there before placing a new order.

Damnit, BJ, stop talking up NETs I haven't tried yet! I'm on a spending freeze
Me too! The moment I think "Hmmm I think I got it almost covered...", new ones pop up here by the dear NET aficionados here
Ha. Believe it or not, I have not had Stockholm. I am vaping Paris right now. Maybe...maybe I have overcome "the curse of Paris." What is that, you ask. When I have the heart to tell that take I will.

I vape ALOT of Managua...and quite a bit of Alcazar too. I have one or the other on me at all times. Managua is the undisputed king of cigar vapes, period. A remarkable juice. Now...NETCOM 3 Crowns is at least in the discussion. I out it away for a month before deciding.

I have not tried the Alcazar, nor the CI, which I know is another highly-rated must-try. I have 30ml of Yellow Mane and Bourbon Seasoned as well as 60 of Cognac on the way but no 3-Crowns (again).
I've had the Cognac before and I can vape it right out of the mail so I figured I'll split it this time and give 30ml a good aging this time around... Bourbon and Mane are a first time for me. I re-upped with 60m l Black Cav again for the same reason, I finished off the 15ml I had in days of it coming in the mail. I want to get some age on some milliliters this time.

Alright, so I built my first "semi" micro coil last night after I had several pain killers in me. 28G 10 wraps. Pretty damn good outcome for my first try. But it won't fire!!! Wth, the coil isn't touching any of the RDA body.
Here are pics of the coil and wick set up:
On the plus side I did get some new J's. They fresh out tha box, son!
On a serious note, I think I can get this whole coil thing down; that was my first attempt, wrapped on a pin punch out of my gunsmith tool set. But why is it not firing? It's on a mech, fwiw. Jerms, Anthony, Jeff: do you see anything obvious?
Shatner, use a multimeter and determine where you have lost contact. Most likely the firing pin and positive post on the atty do not have contact.
If you're going to use silica, your wick needs to be tighter in the coil. Also looks like the coil will contact the atty housing when installed which creates a dead short. Coil can't touch the base or cap.
