Great reviews. Once you've gotten to know them, combine a little Smokin Cherries and Sweet Georgia Peach with a little Vurley as I have been doing....so delightful.

I have full intention of buying bottles of Vurley and SGP and combining them. It seems so right. I'll probably have a marriage ceremony for it, you're all invited.

Speaking of Frankenjuicing; I've broken into Highbrows English Malt Toffee, recommended by lady Scarfy. It's a fascinating, highly flavorful juice. I just can't handle it straight for more than a couple vapes. It's just too much.. something for me. Not too sweet, and not too rich; maybe the malt flavor is what's so intense for me. It needed something, maybe bright, to cut it a bit. I tried adding just a couple drops of their Orange de Sangre to a mostly full dripper, and it's perfect. Just a little orange cut the intensity and made it way more vapable. I think I'll put half the EMT into a bottle and add the orange to taste until it's right. Also considering making a small bottle of Apache, when I receive it, with a touch of EMT.

With Orange de Sangre and EMT, Highbrow has my attention, and I'll try other offerings from them. They are obviously not using just run-of-the-mill flavorings, and offer a unique experience.

Trying my Ahlusion order that just came in. Put Sahara Blend and Smooth Criminal away for a long nap.

Caribbean Blend. Virginia and Burley base is flavorful yet mild. I definitely get the spiced rum and it is authentic and blends well. Great vape when you want to kick back and imagine you're on the beach!

Honey Cured. Same Virginia and Burley with sweet, clear, fresh yellow honey. Sweet without being cloying, easily an all day vape if you like real honey.

Sweet Georgia Peach. Voted this as my favorite fruit flavor. The peach authenticity is amazing! Great relatively mild vape.

I think the Virginia and Burley blends are where most vapers should start when trying Ahlusion's aromatics, then move on to the stronger, more Burley based flavors if they want something bolder.

John, are you going to try Sahara fresh?

I agree the blends that contain Virginia may be a better starting point. Virginia naturally has more sweetness than Burley and is often less bold. Devil Dog with the Latakia and Perique is the one with extreme boldness, though I found BGB quite a bold tobacco too.

Probably will try Sahara this weekend. Virginia probably is more approachable than Burley for most judging by the voting in the Netty thread. Vurley, BGB, and DD are definitely a bit gruffier than the other aros. By the way, I'm hitting SGP on a genny for the first time. It is rockin!

Just filled my RSST with the last of my GEJ Wrangler Light. This is the "old" version before the addition of other stuff.

Either it has been way too long since I vaped it (it is) or I didn't do a good enough of cleaning the tank of the Candied Cavendish I had in there before (very possibly) but I am really loving it. It has a gentle sweetness that I don't remember, but makes it taste like a long-lost HHV juice (Aragorn? Bilbo?). It also tones down that GEJ signature high-keyed brilliance (what I've called "metallic" and meant it as a compliment). Only 2 mls left. Better make 'em count! :)

Raining all day here, very glum.

For those who enjoy a straight-up tobacco NET and are looking for a way to ease in to them as you begin your day...look no further than QnJ's, Habana Daydream. What a delightful wake-up vape! There is nothing controversial, offensive, or "in-your-face" about it. Just a smooth, mild, straight-up tobacco vape. Very pleasant!

I sent Ben at AVE a message (don't know if he'll respond), but I am still convinced about the tobacco in Boba's. I have searched his entire sub-forum with a "tobacco" keyword search and then a subsequent "Porphy" search through all of those posts. What I have found is that while he doesn't say that he uses a tobacco extract, he does say that he can't offer those tobaccos in 0 mg because "one of the ingredients" contains nicotine on its own. I don't know about you all, but for investigative purposes, that says a lot.

You enjoy a good mystery. :)

If I remember correctly, you're right. I believe that the alcohol I taste and smell is in the added flavor that is paired with the tobacco... not the tobacco itself - which makes sense to me given that the honey I taste is comb honey and the cocoa has 2 distinct profiles - those complexities would need to be "fused" I would think and, as i understand it, alcohol handles the fusing nicely. it is very faint (no where near any other juice ive had) but, enough to be noticeable. Even with the original bottle tops left on the desk after the dropper was screwed on I still smelled it so, it's there...

I am going to give it a day or so and I think it will be fine.

I am thinking this what Hula referred to as the "scotch" notes. I don't get them, but I can see how one could.

Most of HHV's NETs are light on the tobacco flavor.

Not in comparison to PrimeVaping and CravinVapes! HHV is more light in tobacco flavor from the additional flavors (casings and such), but the tobacco is most certainly there.

What are some of these flavors? I'm finding that I definitely prefer the NETs of lighter variety.

I think he was referring to juices he had not had, though I think Shatner may have had CV?

So today I vaped Smooth Criminal ("SC") in my rotation in honour of Mr Mann's number 1 NET liquid in the Netty awards. As I walked around Sydney tonight enjoying the wonderful digital imagery kaleidoscopes and sublime patterns on Sydney's iconic buildings and landmarks with the Vivid Sydney Festival on at the moment, I was quoffing SC from a VKS German 306 atomizer. Quite enjoyable.

I was given SC from Scarf-ace in the batch order she PIF me with. I liked it from the beginning but it wasn't a match made in heaven. For starters I didn't think the non-aros ahlusion liquids were NETS. I have desperado, vecchio blend, SC and a few others and non of them come across as extracted tobaccos to me. They are all good in their own way and there isn't one among them that I don't like. There are also none of them that I love but they all make for very easy all day vaping. If I found myself with one liquid in my pocket to vape all day and it was SC, Desperado or Vecchio Blend I would be pleasantly relieved.

SC tastes like a small font tobacco. It has a rich creaminess with vanilla notes. It is one drop of sugar away from being a dessert vape and one drop too many from being a true tobacco vape for me. Definitely one that could rank as an all day vape. I didn't tire of vaping it tonight. There is little ashi-ness or smoki-ness in SC. It's 'smooth' as it's namesake. Smooth flavour, smooth throat hit. Not harsh or aggressive at all. There is a little subtle note of something else that I can't put my finger on. The first time I vaped it I thought I detected chocolate but nope, it's vanilla. It hasn't made it to RBA status in my rotation but I might give it a go in the Igo-L or AGA-T2 and see if other notes manifest.

It's a 'nice' pleasant tasting liquid, easy on the pallet. For me, it's more of a tasting liquid, than a genuine tobacco fix but I don't think this liquid was ever designed to be a tobacco substitute. It doesn't knock my socks off or leave me agog in disbelief of how realistic it is to anything I've smoked before, but its smooth fanciful artistic take on a creamy mini cigarillo might have me finding my SC bottle much lighter by the end of the day.

Thanks, guys! Nope, never had CV. On the list they go.
