Being American, as a rule my cigs tasted like paper and burning; or paper, menthol, and burning. Except for Nat Sherman which had a tobacco taste.

Definitely agree.
I am interested in your take on Paris (and Louisville and London) as well.
I'm down to my last drops of MoV Full Virginia Flake. I really enjoyed this NET RY4, but I think I prefer GeJ GJ4. Full Virginia Flake is probably a better choice for those used to synthetic tobaccos or those just starting out with NETs. GJ4 is a fuller and richer experience for NETizens. They're both quality juices, but it really depends on what you're looking for.
WHEW! I see I have a lot of NET-tasting/catching up to do!
Hello again, everybody: I am BACK, and hope to be around again.
CannedWolf, it's been nice getting to know you. You're funny!

I agree totally, GJ4 for the win. I'm actually reaching for my Janty Classic RY4 more than Virginia Flake.

Welcome back! I honestly don't remember if you were posting much or at all when I started up again last December, but since I was a faithful reader of the Ahl thread and this one I feel like I already know you lol, and really liked what you posted. When I checked out my "likes" I knew cat eyes were watching.

I've been meaning to chat with you about the Janty stuff on the RY4 thread. A few weeks ago, I picked up DK RY4, Classic RY4, Elixir RY4, DK Ludo's (RY4 + mint + coffee), Classic RY4X, and DK SE555. I'd love to compare notes.

Thought this would be appropriate...
I'm looking forward to getting to know you more betterrer (yes, that's a scientific term).
As for the NET tasting... hop to it!
I just received my Vapists Vapours package all the way from Liverpool. Three NETs, one NET with fruit, and "Victoria Sponge" which is some sort of raspberry cake. It says on the shipping list: "AT LEAST 3 days steep...the longer the better." Took a sneaky puff of Triumph and these have definite potential.
Yeah I saw you got some of those. I got bottles of the DK and Classic. The Janty Classic RY4 is amazingly good. Reminds me a little of Tribeca from Halo, but with a touch of what Bill calls sour. Perfect harmony of caramel, vanilla, and arti-bacco. The DK I don't like as much, but it is growing on me. The sour is a lot stronger than from Classic, and I'm just not used that "Chinese-y" sour note. I think Elixir has the strongest note so kind of glad I didn't get it, but am interested in picking up the Classic RY4X which is supposed to be more arti-bacco heavy.
The DK Ludo's RY4 with mint and coffee sounds fascinating. I also am interested in the Koreanesque. Don't know why, there's no description of what it's suppose to taste like. Maybe because Korean women are hot I'm thinking a Koreanesque juice would be good?

Greetings NETizens! Here's my latest e-liquids review, which covers Goodejuice's Apple Cured, Wild Turkey, and GJ4. I liked Wild Turkey, but not nearly as much as I did Apple Cured and GJ4. All three are definitely well made and while I enjoyed them, I totally understand why some people don't care for the GeJ "funk." For my favorite, it was a close one between Apple Cured and GJ4. The former has a brightly sweet kick at the beginning, thanks to a great organic apple flavoring; the flavoring is used during the extraction process, but to me the flavors didn't blend together seamlessly. GJ4 is a wonderful NET take on the ever-popular RY4. The tobacco is first and foremost, followed by the sweet flavors. To me, the tobacco and sweets made for a background taste similar to burnt caramel. In the end, I went with GJ4 as my favorite of the three.
Full review and steeping notes here.
You know RPAD, I have heard people talk about the GeJ "funk" but I never got anything like that from any of the GeJ's. I find GeJ to be straight-forward flavors with little interference from unintended flavoring. That's why I like them. Always interesting to get different takes from the same juice.
I get a bit of funkiness with GeJ... I've assumed it will pass once they steep for longer.
I also experience GeJ NETs as straightforward and no-nonsense in impact, although I find them slightly raw. I might describe that as "cooked but not quite cured," as if the tobacco from which the extracts are made were more fresh than aged. I also get a little of earth, grassy, and peat---more tones than flavors---which may be the "funk" RPad mentions.
Grassiness can cut both ways. If it's too much like hay or fodder, that can be unpleasant. But grassiness can also impart a sweet quality, with a hint of the fresh feeling of chlorophyll. You know, sunshine in a plant. That kind of grassy can be very nice in a tobacco flavor.
Earthy has the same duality. There's clean dirt and dirty dirt. Clean dirt is terrific---it's light and airy. Dirty dirt is scuzzy and rotten, like fetid compost.

This is a very helpful thread -- I appreciate everyone's input and testing. Looking forward to finding something I'll like from the 900+ pages (The NETty awards is narrowing the list down for me, though). Payday can't come soon enough.
Good afternoon NETizens! While I know there are NETs that use sweet and nutty flavorings, I don't recall seeing a NET that's marketed as a 555 e-liquid. Do any of you recall seeing one? It's entirely possible I've come across one and forgot about it. The reason I ask is that I'm dripping a synthetic 555 with my coffee and can't help but think, "You know, a NET version of this would be all kinds of awesome."
I think i remember seeing one... though, I can't remember it off the top of my head.
I'll poke around and see if I can find it.

That is an artificial one (house Brewed is the Natural line). But yes, GoodeJuice has a 555.
I think that the Peach River Tree Blend is akin to a natural 555.
I saw that in your notes, but didn't think the peach flavor would make for a "classic" 555 experience.
On a side note, 555 always makes me smile. In Thai, the number five is pronounced "Ha." When Thai people want to text that they're laughing, they often use "555." So when I see 555 cigarettes or e-liquids, I think they're funny.
