Have you considered an ultrasonic cleaner? I keep flip-flopping on getting one. I know the principles are different, but in my head it's like trying to speed up the aging process of wine, which seems wrong in my head. Since I've been enjoying the Dripper Pro and Killer 705, I've been thinking that an ultrasonic cleaner would be a nice and easy way to clean the CE2 ceramic cups before popping in a new coil.

I have considered it and have started researching them a bit. From what I gather, there doesn't seem to be a consensus on how much it speeds up the steeping process but.... with me expanding my collection of bottom coil rebuildables, it is a really good way to clean the ceramics (my Killer gets here in a few days - cant wait) which may be enough for me to pick one up.

Hey Jerms, My other key HHV favorite is Serendipity which with light steeping is reminiscent of the old legendary Gandalf.

But I HAS Serendipity already. I want a NEW suggestion from HULA to get super excited about! You were so right about Huntsman, don't turn one-trick suggestion pony on me ;) :D

Finally, there's going to be an epipe option for cheapskates like me who want an epipe but have struggled justifying the cost. smok Tech will be releasing one at the end of the month and it's available for pre-order for only $30. I actually like the look of it and it looks comfortable to hold. I'll probably spring for a long stem from epipemods to go with it.

I really like Huntsman alot also and after intial steep(2-3 weeks)for me I get the grassy medium bodied tobacco.But the other day was vaping some that's around 3-4 months old and a friend in the car with me said that smells like maple syrup which have read some people taste in it.

I don't really get that out of it but is somewhat sweeter and less grassy and just good ole fresh tobacco :) Jerms to me Darkhorse is another great tobacco HHV has on there menu which sure u have heard about and may have tried but if not give it a go.Some have said lighter than Huntsman which I get but not by much just no grassy flavor and a little less flavor.

Hi Bill,

Yeah I don't mind the Ry4. I am going to give that and the Perique another go.

The one thing I can say about Highbrow liquids from my first impression is that they would qualify for that first gagging-for-nicotine vape in the morning. That strong pungent taste and solid throat hit would fulfill that morning craving.

You are right that they don't have an avid fan base but I ordered from them on the basis that they 1) are a NET (allegedly, though having tried them I am not tasting a naturally extracted liquid) and 2) They ranked in 4th in a recent top 5 vendors thread.

My assessment of the social winds is that Highbrow tobaccos are moderately popular, but nothing close to the enthusiastic crowd roar of approval for Ahlusion or Heather's. More like certain people like Highbrow tobaccos a lot, but most people are less positive about them. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's my take away from this and other threads.

For myself, the only Highbrowbacco I like is their RY4, and that shouldn't even be called an RY4. The rest of their tobacco blends flat-out did not please me, although I love-love-love a bunch of their non-tobacco juices.

So I finally gave a proper try out with Goodejuice Patriot tobacco after having let it steep for 4 weeks. I did initially try it when I first got (which was already 2 weeks steeped during the delivery from the US to Australia).

Now having tried it as a 4 week old juice.. I realize that everything in the universe is perfect as it is. My main problem with this juice is that I can't quite decide if I really love it as a cigar or if it IS a cigar. WOW. Very nice. With the first few vapes I wasn't sure my atty was performing well because there was no sweetness which made me think that perhaps my atty is giving out a burnt flavour. After a few more tokes I knew the atty was just fine and this juice lacks sweetness and has all the wonderful attributes of a fine cigar or cigarillo and maybe even plain old cigarettes.

Something tells me this juice could do with some more steeping because I've seen the colour of Goodejuice's fully steeped and this Patriot still has a translucent light tinge about it.

I've also tried the perique and in my limited experience with periques and NETS this perique is hands down the best perique I've ever tasted.

I absolutely love Paris and Lousville from Want2Vape. Paris is as close to cigarettes and cigars as I've tried (and I will be honest I have not tried that many NETS). These are so realistic that they even have that YUCK factor we used to love as smokers. Lousville for me is very close to ahlusions Green Grass Burley.

And I know many won't agree with this but I really like the Kuba Kuba as well. So strong, pungent, lovely after meal vape.

Want2vape have to be the least sweetest vapes I've ever tried.

Definitely agree.

I am interested in your take on Paris (and Louisville and London) as well.

There is no NET that is a cigarette juice the way that Paris is! Not. Even. Close.

Paris, and this is not hyperbole, is SUPER close to actually smoking a cig. Granted, this is a French type of cig, but I think if analog-like eliquid was a horse race, Paris would be Secretariat leading the soft pack.

I am one that doesn't mind Kuba Kuba. Actually, not only do I like saying Kuba Kuba, I don't mind it in short stretches.

I like Louisville and Blue Grass Burley, but I think I give the nod to Louisville for my favorite pipe for closeness but for BGB it is one of my favorite tobacco blends--it all depends on what I am looking for at the time. Trying Louisville the other day it was an immediate classic.

Louisville gives me what I want from a pipe blend, but BGB gives me more than I could ever expect from tobacco in any form--it's like tobacco in HD where as Louisville is, uhh, like analog. LOL

Having read the posts in this thread for the last week, two things are an immediate lament for me:

1) That ahlusion do not ship to Australia; and
2) Vulcan Vape which is the international distributor for Want2vape only seem to have a limited range of the Want2Vape juices and is missing Blondie and some of the other signature blends. Damn it. I should be thankful they do stock Paris, London and Lousville.

I know that Want2vape is hit and miss with some people so if anyone out there really has had a miss with their juices, don't despair, there is an Aussie here who is more than happy to dispose of your dontwant2vape liquids :)

And much to the dismay of all the EcoPure Rich vapers, Intellicig.UK doesn't ship to The United States, but they do ship to Australia. It is what it is. However, having friends is the way to go!

Yeah I agree wholeheartedly. London is like a blend of grass notes from Lousville and that strong pungent Euro cigar flavour of Paris and my guess is something out of the Blondie juice.

I have a devoted atty for my Want2Vape having experienced the gunk build up when using it in drip atty's I share juices in. I have pulled out an old Ego Type 2 atomizers from the recesses of my hardware inventory which has a large surface and coil just perfect for breaking down strong gunky juices like Want2Vape. I use it only for Want2vape juices and steer away from using it my high end expensive atty's.

I haven't even tried Want2Vape in my RBA's yet so I might give that a go. I need more of ALL of Want2Vapes juices for sure.

I feel that all NET vapers must try W2V at some point. I believe W2V is the gold standard in NETs, period. With W2V it's all about the experience and authenticity.

I spoke about this on Friday, but the lack of added sweetness or even sweetness from the tobacco leaf itself is absent from W2V juices. Having a juice without, not just low levels, but WITHOUT sweetness is one of the ways to achieve that closeness to tobacco as we used to know it. Sure, most people want to get away from that, but I tell ya', W2V is there if you ever want to remember without having to strike a match.

Looking for input from those who have tried GeJ's Organic. I haven't seen much ink on this flavor and wondering if I should bother with it on my next order. I've never had it. Judging from the description and website reviews, it seems like it is on the bland side. Also have not tried either of his menthol entries. And I don't plan to. I'm not into menthol in the slightest.

Straighten me out.
