That's what I am hoping for with dd. I have those juices on my wishlist, if only the money would cooperate to let me get them all. Probably have to order a few months' worth of juice this payday and next though as I will most likely be laid off by the beginning of next month...(this makes me sad as I am so early into this vaping journey).

Then DD! might just be what you're looking for. But seriously, if you can, get BGB, Smooth Criminal and either Vurley or Sweet Georgia Peach, also. Honestly if you like tobacco any of the Ahlusion aros will float your boat.

I opened a fresh 30ml bottle of VCV's Caramel Tobacco yesterday. It's freaking half gone already! :?: I've been vaping up a storm since I'm out of work for the moment. But my leg is healing. Still hurts like a ...., though and I'm on heavy painkillers. So no gun smithing nor glass blowing for me until I'm off the narcotics. :vapor:

Christening my brand new RSST with some W2V Rygar. Boy do I wish this had been the first Genesis tank I ever bought... it would have saved me weeks of grumbling. Easy as pie to set up.

Oh and while I was dithering over whether to buy the Ebaron Dripper, it sold out. So there's that problem solved :p

I just finished the last of GeJ's Patriot. The Vita Bella still has a couple more months to steep. Out of Bull Durham also. I'm going to crack open some Proudest Monkey from QNic using a Kanger T3 mini. The Mini is a surprise, really great vape. Grandpa's Night Cap is going in the Pro Tank and Fired in Georgia goes in the EVOD. That leaves Kuba Kuba Artemas 1.5 tank or AG2+ tank? Decisions, decisions, what's a vaper to do?

Also, the a great write-up on vaping in today's Mail from Great Britain.

Can't wait to hear how the Proudest Monkey goes for my banana brother. Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Thanks for info Bronze. The history is actually quite fascinating and I guess, the lesson I get out of this is that with NET's, each seasonal extract is a bit like wine - ie, there will never quite be a batch that tastes the same and each batch is unique.

Is it the old DF you prefer or the newer one?

Bingo Anthony. NETs are volatile. As far as I know, he's been working from the only batch of DF extract he has ever made (HHV is only 15 months old). But he is switching to the next batch very soon. I have a preview bottle on the way. Adam said it is identical to the current batch.

The RSST takes a tank or 2 for the wick and coil to season well. Pretty simple to set up and maintain.

I just did a 4/5 coil of 32 g kanthal on a single strand of 1.5 mm braided silica in my IGO L. Very small, tight coil. (Had to get one of those magnifying visors to be able to see these damn things.) It is now rocking some Louisville, about two second draw is a lungful! I'm going to try a Pro Tank but it's going to have to be very good to keep up with the IGO.

I can't wait to hear how my banana sister likes it. Hurry, hurry, hurry!!! :)
Ooooh, nice and rich. Almost cooked-caramel-type sweetness, but doesn't smother the tobacco. Banana is pretty subtle. Definitely darker than Candied Cavendish. Good vapor too. This 5ml bottle won't be long for this earth.

Great, now I need a QNJ mule. :grr:

Gosh Scarfy, I just knew you would like Proudest Monkey. It seems like it would be right in your wheelhouse. I always enjoyed your adjectives to describe juice. "Cooked caramel" is perfect. And it does not smother that VERY pleasant flue-cured tobacco at all. I don't really view it as a banana juice as much as I do a subtly sweet, pleasant NET vape.

I have no idea what it takes to be a mule, but if I can spread some muletide, let me know.

Bronze,

I got my Igo-L today and I put DF in it as a follow up to conversations we had and you are right - the Dragons Fire is coming to life in this RBA. I've done nothing special in the Igo-L. Just silica with 28 gauge kanthal. The flavour is wonderful. Much better than when I had it in my Protank.

It's tasting closer to Pirates Booty now with the extra flavour I am getting out of the Igo-L so I can only imagine what the Pirates Booty will taste like!



I use an RBA often for my DF and it just lights up something big time. Lack of flavor is the last thing I would call DF out of my RBA.

Pirate's Booty was once my favorite before the latest iteration of extract. HHV had three juices that were near-identical...Gandalf (2nd iteration), Pirate's Booty (1st iteration), and now Dragon's Fire. And when I say near identical, I mean NEAR identical. I personally can't tell the difference between these three. But oddly, DF has changed and I'm near certain it is the one and only batch of extract ever made. It used to have a slight cakey bend to it. That cakey bend is all but gone now. I know Adam has complained that he finds his extracts change with age.

Good news Anthony! I don't know what it is about DF, but it improves dramatically in an RBA more than most juices. The flavor just bursts. I have to believe your PB will too. Let us know.

I have a nice little bottle of Vurley coming from a new friend. You might have heard of her. She can make her own fine quality tobacco extracts, lives in possibly the dullest city in Australia (unfortunately that is our capital city because of the disputes and rivalries between Sydney and Melbourne 100 years ago as to which city should be the capital of the new federation).

She is the one and only, incomparable Scarf-ace, and yes, she does wear scarfs all the time. Can't wait to see if she still wears one in the middle of summer! ;)


That would not be good. Guys! Make Vurley and Sahara available immediately! Or else!

Let us all know what you think of the juices chimps. Looking forward to seeing your reaction and opinions to them.

Pirates Booty is also one of my favourites. I don't know if you got the Huntsman or not but it hits 'all the right notes' twice over, for many vapers, me included.

The trick with Gej juices, both from my own experiences and what I read here is to let them steep for about 4-6 weeks, or at least, a minimum of about 2 weeks before you really get stuck into them. Apparently there is one juice that is better young and that is Fire Cured.

Do.not.check.out.from.gej.without.a.bottle.of.Patriot.in.your.cart...

Vape mail today brought some evods and a second protank, so tonight at work I have some pirate's booty and legend to go along with the heavenly tobacco. I very much prefer the pb and legend over the ht, but the ht hits the right notes for an ry4 type of juice for me. I will be sad to see the pb protank run dry as it is the last of it that I have, although that is one that I have ordered and am anxiously awaiting getting it steeping this week. The GeJ's that you mentioned are the next order that will be assaulting my bank, along with (hopefully) ahlusion's dd and bgb on monday.

I thought Patriot was pretty good after two weeks. Steeping tends to be "To each their own" to an extent. But I will defy anyone to tell me that Vita Bella is any good until it is at least 5 months old! :D

Well, I hate to mention it on this thread because it's off topic but Aromaejuice's WTA liquids are perhaps some of the most realistic simulations of the feel of e-liquids to analogs because of the alkaloids in them.

My favourite juice is still a non-net thanks to Aromaejuice.

My understanding is that it won't be long before Aromae-juice are using the maceration method to create NET juices with WTA.

Aromaejuice has good tobacco flavors with WTA.
Im a camel smoker and their Sahara Wta is satisfying. I have never had anything closer by a long shot

Well Melbourne may have the best shopping and Sydney may have the best food, but Canberra has...an enormous floating whale with ten breasts.

Needless to say, that atrocity is taxpayer funded to the tune of a quarter-million dollars. :facepalm:

Quiet on the Vurley. That stuff is like GOLD nowadays!

By the way, I changed my member status in your honor:)
