You and Robin are competing to see who is most organized. Nice job Dust!


Bronze, I absolutely positively dislike being un-organized. I've lived away from home most of my life, and hated the notion that "guys" tend to be messy and cluttered. I worked very hard to ensure that I was the complete opposite. It worked well with the girls while I was growing up, and now it's just a way of life. ;)

Mr. Mann.. at the base of all my testing lies the simple fact that I started down the NETs road looking for a juice that I could vape on my pipes. HHV has given me that with Dragons Fire and Heavenly Army. While those are more on the flavourful side, they do stand apart from most, if not all of the juices I have tested so far which represent the more "tobacco" side of the spectrum.

In real life, I've never had an actual "cigar" other than the occasional port wine flavoured one for fun or a puff or two on a friends "cuban" cigar. Same with Pipes, never actually puffed on one. But, the smells from pipes and cigars are forever engraved on this little brain of mine and I am pulling on those resources while testing these juices.

Yes, I'm weird! :D

Thoughts: I taste a sweet dark cavendish pipe tobacco base, with bold notes of coffee and chocolate. To me, the flavors stand out pretty well, they aren't quite blended, but neither one overpowers the other, they just compliment each other so nicely.

Thoughts: I taste the same sweet cavendish pipe tobacco base that's in all the other HHV juices, but the top notes on this one taste like creamy vanilla and a little bit of graham. It's pretty sweet, but not overly sweet. The tobacco is VERY smooth, like all of HHV tobaccos. It isn't smokey, woody, leafy, or any of that, just smooth and sweet.

Well put. I too get seperate notes of both and not a singular mocha coffee

The tobacco is VERY smooth, like all of HHV tobaccos. It isn't smokey, woody, leafy, or any of that, just smooth and sweet.

Again, very well put. The ones I have in my rotation, Legend and Serendipity, work so well for me mainly by how uniquely smooth and nicely sweet they are. When I get my Huntsman involved in the rotation I have a feeling that will bring some grassy or leafy notes, which I like in a tobacco, but these two aren't missing anything for me by not having specific tobacco notes. When I'm not sure what kind of tobacco I'm in the mood for I can't go wrong reaching for an HHV. They are also a nice right before bed vape and first thing in the morning vape.

I decided to taste the NETS I got from MVJ. They are Rogue. Country Squire and Wicked Wench all in the Original editions. All were mixed 50/50 12 mg with 25% concentrate to make 15 mls of juice. I used fresh 306 atty's for each flavor.

This is going to be hard for me to describe, I'm really not any good at reviews but I really wanted to hear what you folks have to say, so.....

These have only been steeping for a week but I wanted to taste them once every week to see how they change. I have to say all three gave me a strange experience I never got from any other juices I've tried. While the flavor, TH and vapor were what I expected, none had any body or depth to them. I'm hoping this will change as the recommended steep is two weeks. The Rogue had just a hint of cocoa and vanilla but as with the others I got this watery, hollow impression that I never experienced before. I think the Country Squire will wind up my favorite of the three as it was very tasty ( of what I'm not really sure yet. Couldn't pick one particular flavor. ) the Wicked Wench wasn't as strong as I expected and had a burnt woodsy flavor which, if it levels out with more steeping, will be excellent.

Hopefully by this time next week I'll be able to condense my impressions into a more cohesive, somewhat intelligent post.

You will experience this from one vendor to the next. Candidates for mixing other concoctions.

This is exactly my impression of these, but mine wasn't as glowing of an endorsement. J/K :p

True enough, no doubt I'll be using them in recipes in the future. But I like to nail a flavor down so I know where I'm coming from with a mix. If theses three remain the same I'll add some Vape Wiz and see if that changes the equation.

Well, not exactly an endorsement. Maybe an " atta girl " for encouragement. After all, it not exactly raining NET concentrates right now.

No love at all for the MVJ NETs Mann? Which ones did you try? I enjoy the My Heros, but I really like to hear dissenting opinions. I would like to read more of why juices don't work for certain people on this thread, people seem shy to express their dislikes.

Just general jiving, or " hand jiving "? :cool:

Totally hand jiving!

Boom,

have you tried Vaperite? I have this burning desire to to revisit them, but I am given pause due to my hesitation with the sampling lifestyle again. Who here, you included, has anything to say about Vaperite (positive or negative)?

I tried them earlier on, shortly after Luce's reviews, and I found them to be really, really bland. I can generally debate about which juices are more or less tobacco strong, but when the juices don't even do much for me as far as flavor, I tend to just back out of the conversation. I tried 3-5 of juices--I can't remember all, but I think I remember having Rogue, MHT and Savage original (I know I had MHT and Rogue)--and I really got a vape that seemed to be devoid of personality. I can't really say what or why they tasted the way they did because I couldn't hardly taste anything. It very well could be that I just haven't had the right ones, the right PG/VG ratio, or the right JDS to bring out the flavor, but it is surely not from a lack of experience with NETs. I have seen some pretty firm opinions that assert MVJs brilliance in NET making, so I just chalk this one up to "not my thing." MVJ would be second to last in my book for NETs, just above Prime Vaping.

Just to be clear, I think what Diane is doing is awesome for the people that it works for. I absolutely love her openness about what tobaccos are used (the process and other flavorings), her desire to please as many as she can, and I really appreciate the fact that she speaks our language. Hey, I practically hated Smooth Criminal when I first tried it, so I have been wrong before about a juices that I now love.
