I've had Rimboche Perique Blend from Ryan and Daughters Tobacco Farm don't know if it's the same. The tobacco was really strong and a bit peppery which is why I didn't order anymore. You might like it. My advice would be to start out with a 20% dilution and take it from there. Oh, this is when I smoked tobacco. I didn't dilute it for ejuice. It was several years ago.

Thanks Boomer. It is indeed Ryan and Daughters Rimboche. I'm hoping it arrives today.
I'm thinking it will be a good flavoring to add to some of my flue cured organic Virginia (Sun Butler) of which I have Waaaay too much.

I know people compare Boba's and Crim, but I don't really understand it. To me there two totally different juices, totally different flavor profiles, and with totally different positives that makes them each interesting. Smooth Crim is awesome for me when in the mood for a medium tobacco vape, Boba's was good when in the mood for, well, Boba's.

I'm with you Jerms, I see nothing in common between BB's and SC. I would never have thought to compare the two. But then I didn't vape either one for an extended period so I might be a poor judge.

Well BJ, I have your L'Ville brewing this morning. So far, I'm enjoying it very much. It reminds me a little of GeJ's Patriot but perhaps a little fuller...meaning it leaves a longer aftertaste. It doesn't seem too dry (a huge factor for me) but I need to vape it a while before that can be confirmed. I can't say L'Ville is appealing to me in new ways that other NETs haven't already covered, but this is certainly a quality vape in my initial impressions.

And no, it's not a BYHO (Blow Your Head Off) vape. :)

L'Ville is solid, an interesting vape.

Did you get London too? I have a feeling it might bore you like it did for me. Not bad, just became obsolete with Apache and Devil Dog on the market.

Yes, BJ sent me some London as well. I'll hit that up over the weekend. While I find L'ville closest to Patriot, it also touches some of my Apache cravings as it does you. W2V has been the most prominent NET vendor I have not explored. So this is a treat to sample a couple of their more popular flavors...finally!

I'd like to make room for some of these juices like L'Ville but there doesn't seem to be any. :)

Patriot??? Really? I don;t get that AT ALL...except that they are two of the smokiest vapes around. Weird comparison. I am glad you are digging it. Personally I think it is the best NET around bar none.

Jerms, I totally agree with you on London. I think I rambled about this very thing last week. It is not MUDDLED, per say, as it is a very well blended juice...but it does sing on just one very smooth and consistent note and after a while it bores me. I just dumped half a tank of it that I have been nursing for a couple weeks...to replace with some Louisville or maybe Scarfy's Dunhill Morning.

It's not a strong comparison BJ...just the one it reminds me most of. Perhaps it is the smoke level as you say. I also found it similar to Apache. I didn't say anything but then Jerms implied it in one of his posts. Just got done with my L'Ville session. Good stuff. I'll be vaping it again. After all, you gave me 10mls.

How bad did I find Shadow and DF to be? I had not one but two burn outs on the way to work and it was down to Shadow or a cigarette. I opted for the stinky, my first in over a month.

Well BJ, just to even the score...if it came down to Smooth Criminal or stinkies, I would pick the stinkies. So I guess I know where you're coming from. :)

Moved onto MM/BJ's Dragon's Fire. I'm dripping it in a Phoenix RBA. All I will say at this point is there are definitely elements of Dragon's Fire in it. I'm not implying anything else at this point. I will drip some of my DF in this RBA once I clear it out of MM/BJ's DF and get a clearer picture.

Yes, to me it is very different from what you sent me. There was no body at all to that stuff I sent you and the chocolate was replaced by some stevia like presenced. REALLY curious as to your thoughts on it!

Just completed the last 500 pages or so of this thread. I was hoping to find the answers to my questions without posting and even though there was a discussion a couple hundered pages back about defining what should be considered a net, that debate went up in smoke.
I have concluded that taste is clearly subjective and recommendations are going to be ballpark, at best. So far, my own experience leads me to think that rather than finding true love, one needs to be willing to accept the least objectionable bunk-buddy left sitting at the bar after closing.
I've walked through clubs Evo, AVE (I regularly shack up with BB and expect to continue doing so even after marriage to another) and briefly flirted with a number of the bar stool covers at GeJ. Organic was way too much like my last relationship. There was however, some heavy petting (by default) with Patriot. Patriot was interesting, but during deep mouth kissing, Patriot had an annoying habit of occasionally burping into my mouth, so it went no further.
I'm about to enter club NETcom and Ahlusion is next door.
Ok, I've overtaxed what little talent I never had for metaphor.
What I'd like to know is: "What is the code?" How do you know which ones are NETs and which aren't before you've taken them home? For instance Ahlusion discribes fluids as "from our specialty line of our natural tobacco extracts"--Ok--a NET, yes?, but what about "non-aromatic blend" or "based on our natural tobacco flavours" or "A non-Aromatic blend based on slightly sweet Turkish and domestic (bright Virginia) blends.?
Thanks for taking the time to read,

Well! It seems I've finally managed to keep my hands off a bottle of Vita Bella long enough to observe signs of steeping. My bottle from 9/25 has changed from dark orange to a reddish hue. I've skimmed off a couple of mils already (I'm running low on NETs around here) but maybe I'll try to save the rest for Christmas.

Welcome, Popabogart! Speaking just for myself, I'm not really sure what qualifies as a true NET, either. For example, I was afraid to ask about Plume Room Smooth & Mild here (I just kinda assumed it didn't qualify) but then the other guys started talking about it, so...

I am sure you've seen one recurring theme in this thread: always, always ask the vendor. And then, ask that vendor more. Repeat.

p.s. Every one of the 30+ tobaccos from Ahlusion has some or all parts natural tobacco.

I'm still trying to figure it out BJ. I gave up on it pretty quickly because it was cutting into my real DF time. I don't like when my real DF time is compromised. I'll pick it up tomorrow morning. It is definitely Dragon's Fire but there is something funky going on. I'm guessing it was somewhat more funky when MM first got it. Not sure what the funk is....contamination from another juice needle, a heavy shot of nicotine (way beyond the advertised 18mg). Got to mess with it some more. DF has as much "feel" to me as it does flavor (especially in an RBA). The "feel" part of MM's stuff seems like it has gone to Mach 4 or something. The feel was always like evaporation similar to what it feels like to drink alcohol. With real DF, it's more like a white wine feel. This MM stuff is like Everclear!

It bothers me when someone is afraid to ask us on this thread. Are we really that snobby? I don't want to be snobby.
