Natural Tobaccos

[Tezcatlipoca]

I'll occasionally drip on an LR 306 atty (any 306, but Cisco is probably the best I've used) -- love 'em, but I'm not a huge fan of dripping in general. My normal set-up these days is LR 306 + bottom feeder (I have a Vapage VMOD and an Old Goat -- both are awesome). For some of my favorite NET's that really gunk up atomizers, I was using each of them in their own Stardust, but I'm phasing them out in favor of Vivi Novas because I think they perform better, they're easier to clean, and the atomizer head can be replaced for a mere $3 if need be. I also have a Bulli A2-TM rebuildable that I use pretty much exclusively with high-gunk NET's.

I use a bridgeless standard 510 atty from smartvapes with a drip shield on my Greek made epipe.

Wow, Want2Vape vapenstein London, Wow. Smoky, complex and strong. Reminiscent of an exotic full-flavor unfiltered cigarette, like my first-ever daily smoke, from many years ago: Djarum Clove Cigarettes. It so much reminds me of the tobacco in those, that I can almost detect a clove flavor (which I know is not there, it's an associated taste-memory). When I find this kind of bowl-you-over flavor, but just a tad lighter on the oriental/Latakias, I'll be in vaping nirvana. W2V's London is incredibly smooth at 11mg. Perfect throat hit for me. I think what I'm ultimately looking for is exactly this, but as just a straight-up Virginia & Kentucky blend. Perhaps the Vapenstein Paris is in that direction. That's now on my must-try list (along with too many others!) Whatever extraction magic Donley has come up with absolutely blows away everything else I've tried so far in terms of pure tobacco flavor.

W2V Red Pirate: Also Wow, definite potential for an all-day vape. The throat hit is quite strong at 18mg, I think I'll like it even more at 11mg. It does taste almost exactly like what it's made out of. Strong tobacco with that unmistakeable twang, though it's positively mild in flavor compared to the London.

Also HHV Dark Horse: My sample bottle is empty, it was quite good. Very light with a fruity/spicy quality. Unlike some liquids, it actually got better as the tank went down.

"Perhaps the Vapenstein Paris is in that direction"
actually Paris taste like this direction bleh!!

So, I am interested in what everyone is vaping their NETs out of. I just got a fantastic atty, a Premium Bridgeless 901 lr, from EM. The cool thing about this atty is it requires ZERO break-in and comes primer free--this thing works like a champ immediately with fantastic flavor and tons of vapor. I am vaping Vita Bella and Patriot and loving it.

What PV do you have? Do you have a 901 device or are you using it with an adapter? If you already tried one, how does this atty compare to a HH357?

 

[Mr.Mann]

What PV do you have? Do you have a 901 device or are you using it with an adapter? If you already tried one, how does this atty compare to a HH357?

I am using it with an adapter on either a Precise+ 18650 or a ProVari. In all honesty--I hope this doesn't start something--I think the Premium 901 1.5 from Empire Mods is a more user friendly and much better bang for your buck than the HH. I have a HH 357, but the 901 wowed me from the first vape. The HH.357 eats up a lot of juice, spits a ton into your mouth, has terrible dry hits (if you don't have it wet properly) and is way too pricey. You can get two of the 901s with an adapter for the price of one HH.357 with a few bucks to spare. Don't get me wrong the HH is a good atty, but worth 25 bucks (shipping included), I don't think so. Once again, the Premium 901 is a primer free, no break-in required, awesome atty IMHO. While the HH may be in a class of it's own, I don't think it is a supremely better atty by any means. Most of the stuff that people fail to say in their exalting of their respective set-up is, once you reach a certain level of hardware, the differences are small percentages, not like the difference between a 808 pen and a big batt mod. My point is, you can have a very satisfying vape without having to spend extra time and money trying to master anything.

Lastly, all the best hardware in the world don't mean a thing if it ain't got the good juice!

 

[Mr.Mann]

Aliens, I don't want to give the impression that I think there is no difference between a cheap atty and a quality, expensive one; but I was making the point that there are some that are inexpensive compared to the really expensive ones that are not worlds apart in terms of performance/durability/reliability/life. I still would take a cheap atty over a good carto any day, but that's just me.

Vendor: Ahulsion
Liquid: Blue Grass Burley
Vendor Description: This is our take on naturally grown air-cured Kentucky Burley tobacco. Our Blue Grass Burley is a warm, rich vape without the harmful ingredients and burnt aftertaste of the chemicals which mask the true taste of tobacco. Absolutely no artificial flavors or sweeteners added.
Set Up: Dripping on a standard bridgeless 510 atomizer on my pipe
Thoughts: Ahlusion just released their Blue Grass Burley for the first time. Yes, it's already sold out. Before I go into details, I want to explain that this is the best eliquid I've ever had. That's right. Out of all the liquids I've had in two years of vaping, this destroys them all. It's almost as if Ahlusion reached into my mind and made exactly what I dreamed of.

The smell is a very strong tobacco. It smells exactly like real tobacco with no additives. The eliquid color is medium brown. If you've ever had burley tobacco, it's strong with a smokey flavor. The tobacco has a medium depth, not light but not dark either. The great thing about Ahlusion is that their NETs do not leave residue. On inhale there is the new restored earth (better than heaven, read Revelation 21). A smokey flavor comes that doesn't overwhelm the senses. The burley tobacco is not too dry but not too wet either. It's a little leafy but in the great way tobacco is. The tobacco hits like real tobacco hits. On exhale the flavor doesn't change. This is not simply a vape, it's an experience. I feel like I'm truly smoking this tobacco.

Final thoughts: There's other legendary NETs out there that set the bar: Want2Vape Vapenstein line. Want2Vape has been top of the line for awhile now. It wasn't until Ahlusion released Devil Dog that I felt a vendor hit the Vapenstein quality. However, the Vapenstien line is made of very dark tobaccos that slowly kill atomizers and destroy cartomizers. For me they don't have the smoothness of an all day vape. Blue Grass Burley just set the bar. I can vape this one all day. A perfect balance of depth for a tobacco. As I wrote before this is an experience not just a vape. Blue Grass Burley destroys any other tobacco I've ever had. If you can get this, buy it.

 

[Mr.Mann]

I just finished letting mine "steep" and fell in love today. You beat me to the punch, luce. Good job, though!

 

[scarf-ace]

Well. I guess you liked it then!

Luce, what ratio did you get? 70/30 or 50/50?

 

[luceblueboy]

70/30 as it was recommended

 

[Mr.Mann]

Yeah, me too. My first Devil Dog was 50/50 and was phenomenal. I didn't notice much of a difference if any between the 70/30 and 50/50 though.

 

[pir123]

I'm using a set of vivi novas and mini novas and NET juices almost exclusively on various batteries/mods. They're easy to clean, and cheap to maintain. I've got a few middle-of-the-road atomizers for tasting, but the VNs are so convenient, and vape quite well, so it's hard for me to justify buying premium atomizers. Though I kind of really want a 306dca and/or a bottom feeder mod.

Really looking forward to trying the Ahlusion Burley, it sounds delightful.

 

[Tezcatlipoca]

Though I kind of really want a 306dca and/or a bottom feeder mod.

306dca's went back on sale the other night, and if they're not sold out already, now might be the time. They're only available once in a blue moon -- literally! Last night was a blue moon, and the next one will be in 2015.

Bottom feeders are also a great way to go, IMHO.

 

[pir123]

Thanks for the heads up, though it looks like they only have the starter kits and the io6dca -- I will wait for the black anodized. I'm not in a hurry, since I've got a delivery system I'm totally happy with, and I'm not even building my own coils yet.

 

[Tezcatlipoca]

Yeah, they go fast. The good news is their 'notify me' button actually works. That's how I found out, but in the meantime I had bought one at a local vape shop. Seems to work pretty well, but I would definitely recommend getting the extension pack since 306's vary so much in diameter.

But back to NET's, I just got the mother load of all samplers in the mail from one of our esteemed colleagues here on the thread, so if anyone needs me just look for the giant tobaccoey cloud of vapor!

OK thanks for sharing your experience. I like the HH but the fact that they are so expensive, and that I had some issues with them (juice spiting) decided me to try some other ones.

Bridgeless 306s in a DCA were my favorite attys (knuckle tips solved the spitting problem for me.). That was until I learned to make stainless mesh wicks for the Phoenix "Bully", and now that is all I vape on at home. I use Vivi Nova tanks with 100% cotton wicks for on-the-go vaping. No longer using any PWM or buck/boost power either, simple ~3.3V-3.7V regulated and unregulated batteries hit the best for my taste. I like a mildly warm vape with long, frequent draws and these fill the bill for me...

Juices on my desktop:

GeJ Wild Turkey
GeJ Organic #1
GeJ Natural Perique
GeJ Wrangler Light (my go-to "cigarette")
HHV Oompa (my current "all day vape")
HHV Gandalf
HHV Tuscan Cocoa (I mix it with Organic #1 to make a "super-oompa", heh)
Quick Nic Fired In Georgia
Quick Nic Grandpa's Nightcap
Plume Room Honey Fig Tobacco
Plume Room Candied Cavendish
W2V Alcazar
W2V Cold Infusion
W2V Tobac Especial
VR Naturally Extracted House Tobacco
VR APV Organic Tobacco
VR Madagascar Tobacco

more in the drawer...

On the way:

Prime Vaping Sampler:
Natural Tobacco
Nostalgia
Peach Tobacco
Ahlusion Blue Grass Burley

 

[luceblueboy]

Victor, you got the motherload!

 

[Victor Vandyke]

Victor, you got the motherload!

Heh, Yeah i suppose. Tobacco free for over half a year and not saving a dime, lol.

Great thread you have going here, BTW.
