So let's say for GeJ patriot/organic #1, then we'll need dry burn KF*'s coils this every 1.5-2mL, right? Are there other RBAs with similar flavor profile like KF, but doesn't require the tank to be drained for dry burning? This will be actually be more hassle for me since with T2s, I can just swap a coil. Of course, the flavor will be (hopefully) better with the KFs. I'm trying to reduce the hassle and increase the flavor :) Thanks.

I believe what your looking for is the .. Wait I don't want them to sell out before I get mine.... Flash-e-vapor rba. I hear its performance maintenance and ease of use is off the charts. There are clones out too.

I can clean, dryburn, and rewick the RM2 on my Reo Grand anytime regardless the status of the 6 ml onboard juice supply. It also delivers all the flavor of dripping, doesn't flood or leak, and is dead simple to build on. Just sayin.:D

I'm pretty foreign to these...How often do you manually squeeze the juice bottle in the mod housing? It's probably dependent on many factors but, on average is it like once in 5 inhales, once in 20 etc..?

Hey guys, I have a few NET's lying around, and when I dripped them in my 3.5ohm Cisco atomizer, I was getting some pretty brilliant tastes at first, but they seemed to clog up the atomizer instantly, leading to a dry, ashtray taste, and not allowing any regular juices to be tasted on the atomizer any longer.

I'm rebuilding an RDA for the first time, and I really want to build a coil that handles a few of these NET's well, and if it handles the NET's, surely it'd do wonders for my normal juices. Any tips or tricks that really help your coils stay good for at least a day or two? I'll be using two standard, cheap RDA's with no bottom air hole. I'm getting multiple gauges and multiple silica/ekowool diameters, as well as pre-boiled cotton, so anything you could advise in terms of diameter of the coil or anything like that, for these NET's, would be great.

Preferrably with silica, since I'll have a lot more of it than the cotton lol.

Jerms' advice is spot on. I've found cotton wicks to work best (unless you don't mind making a new build of coil and wick) for juices that require regular dry burning of the coil and a must when changing flavors. As far as using silica, I've only ever had luck threading 1 mm silica through a 1.5 mm coil (folding it in half and pulling through the coil using a bead puller), but have had mixed success in removing it and replacing it without ruining the coil. Trying to dry burn a silica wick for a flavor change never worked for me. Cotton is just faster and easier (and cheap).

I vaped 66 day steeped GeJ Vita Bella today. In my T2s, it has a medium tobacco impact with some extra flavor which I think is supposed to be vanilla. Overall it's very smooth and enjoyable, nothing odd. I'm not sure though it is that interesting and layered for me to reorder it. I enjoy GJ4 overall better then Vita Bella.

I'm going to revise my notes on Vita Bella... I vaped it after my nose cleared up -- I took a claritin. I got more tobacco notes out of it with more enjoyable overall taste. It's solid tobacco vape and the vanilla nicely complements it. It's like a smoking a good rich cigarette minus the burning stuff. I need to revape GJ4 and compare the two. GJ4 seems to gunk my coils faster than Vita Bella if I remember correctly. I think it's worth to get a 10mL bottle of Vita Bella and see how it progresses over two months.

With almost 2100 posts to skim I might be double posting a previous comment but I really enjoy the "pipe sauce" tobacco juices from epipemods.com they are very rich in tobacco flavor the longbottom leaf is actually my adv you can see a review on youtube by pbusardo he seemed to like them as well as I do :D

I have both GJ4 and Vita Bella but both are only about a week and a half old. GJ4 has got to be the best juice I've ever had so far - there is just something that is egg custard or vanilla like with a light tobacco note that is just really working for me. Vita Bella has a very mild vanilla and tobacco note and each is distinct. I can't wait to see what they taste like in a few more weeks.

In regards to inotfat's posts -- thank you so much - you really helped me understand some things when I try to move to RBA's next month when the vape budget resets :D The ahlusion sale wiped me out!

chinook, as easy as it is to setup a kayfun style RBA, id still get a dripper. Youre coming right from prebuilt heads to rebuildables. You might be planning to do this already.... but, you want a dripper to practice your technique with coils and how much wick to use before you know that your setup is right. Id suck to have to deal with all that in a kayfun. Id get a trident or an igo style to practice on, plus youll want it for trying new stuff anyways.

That is the second time I've read that exact statement regaurding those elqiuids... but it's the reverse: GJ4 should have caramel and vanilla notes (RY4), while Vita Bella has vanilla and sometimes custard-like notes. My new bottle of GJ4 (which is steeping) definitely has a strong caramel aroma from the bottle.

Which just goes to prove that most of them don't know what they're talking about when it comes to Vita Bella.. :p

Tried Custards Last Stand in a KFL last night.. Rinsed out tank this morning. Not for me..

Loaded up with first tank of FVFRY4.. Umm, it's probably still breaking in. I hope!

Hi I'm Just really coming into this thread as I'm having issues with all this new über clean nic that's flooding the market and now I'm missing some elements from my diy juices. Notably a good strong th and possibly some of the other tobacco components their now filtering out like oils and such.

I'm wondering If I can get a concentrated net to add to my diy hangsen tobaccos to kick them up with a heavy punch. Preferably a spicy type tobacco I think.

So aside from making my own net what do you guys do for diy mixing? (I will try making if I have too. But)

This decadent vapor Havana sounds like its right up my alley.. I heard good thing about it in the past too..

Chinook, I agree with the recommendation to get a dripping atomizer first. Get a small chambered rebuildable and learn how to build and tweak for flavor. I use an IGO S with a microcoil and cotton wick for vaping on the couch and flavor testing.

The Reo is what I use when on the move. It's virtually indestuctable, won't roll off the table if it falls over, and I love the form factor versus a light saber. You can tell when the wick needs to be rewetted by the flavor. I get three to six hits per squonk depending on the resistance of your coil, type of wick, how long you pull on it, etc. Squonking is a simple squeeze of the bottle which I do with my ring finger without changing my grip on the Reo. For anyone interested, there is an excellent Reo subforum in the Supplier section of ECF.

They didn't remove the NET's... they've got them listed differently is all. Click on the Tennessee Tobacco menu and you can then select between the NET or Synthetic lines.

You misread the post rdsok. He said they removed the NET RY4 which they have, no more FVF RY4. Wonder if they'll reformulate it and add it back on. Was a pretty popular juice.

Do you think you might have the names reversed? You described Vita like GJ4 tastes and GJ4 like Vita. GJ4 has mild vanilla and tobacco that are each distinct (along with caramel). When it ages the tobacco comes out more. I liked it both ways, many prefer it aged. Vita has an eggy, custardy note that is sorta like vanilla but mysterious. It's actually from a unique french vanilla flavor they use.

I really like GJ4. The only problem is it gunks up pretty fast. When it was 3-4+ weeks old, I was overall getting maple taste out of it which I really liked. I should try it soon, it'll be > 65+ days steeped...

Thanks! I'm considering it! I'll also need to get a better battery with an Ohm meter.

Like Papa just linked, NETcom is one of the two places to get the unmixed extract. The other is MyVapeJuice, but I think a good choice might be single varietals from NETcom. Fire Cured Burley and Latakia will supply the biggest kick and maybe the spiciness your looking for. It'll be more smoky than spicy, but worth a shot I think.

Have you tried using Tobacco Absolute? It's a much more concentrated, oily substance made from tobacco.
