They are man! I like that cuban so much I tore through it in a few days lol. I saved about 1 ml so I can try and come up with something similar for myself :) And I've been using the TAs everyday since I got them, haven't had much time to get creative but just as standalones I love them. Still pumped to try the dirty base just haven't gotten to it. And with that I'm off to work lol damn it.


Glad your digging the Cuban.. I'm humbled that you and Jimi like my mixes.
I wish you luck replicating them. But it is a vape foul to use gas chromatography.... Lol

Just drop me a line if you would like some more.. I also have a cherry flavor cedar pipe which is not too bad.

Maybe I should buy me a white oak barrel and make me a "Cuban reserve" and sell it $100 a barrel... Lol ;)

I'm currently working on a captain black type pipe tobacco as well.. Captain black cherry cavendish used to be my go to pipe tobacco when I did smoke a pipe..

    It's so much better then the stuff I was getting that I'm vaping it without flavor and love it! it's like vaping on a cloud.

    I've been vaping unflavored almost since I joined ECF and haven't gotten bored yet. Always thought I might be missing out on something because of the high praise of some flavor combos.

    Never thought I was "vaping on a cloud" tho, lol. That's high praise for Wl's nic base!

    you know k3vin... i kinda wish you didnt tell me about this thread. i have read through the last twenty or so pages and my concerns have only quadrupled. i was about to use up some points on rts and get another jug of their nic. but it looks like that is the last thing i need to do. the only peeps that are faultless around here are charging an arm and a leg in comparison to what i am used to paying.

    there is one hope though. i am going to send a thingy to heartland and flat out ask them if they have been having issues with their nic, if they use alchem/nicselect, and the date of the batch i will be receiving. i will report back on their reply and then order if its good news. and then of course... report on the nic itself. these guys were mentioned as good ten to twenty pages back and then asked about afterwards. nobody has responded to it. so i can only assume i have a chance in hell of getting some decent nic for a good price.

    yea kurt I was going to say, you know me I like the funk and the skunk...this 'new' stuff is something else entirely! I'd be in total shock if you liked it.

    the really interesting ...well interesting if its true...thing to me is, why would ECX and RTS suddenly be peddling this new nicotine, when they clearly had different sources previously? Is it all from alchem or just all extracted via the new method?

    Hi Cyrus

    When did RTS start using Alchem? I have a dull sense of smell so probably wouldn't have noticed when I transfered my last order to 120's for the freezer. My last 2 orders were August and 22 Nov. Thanks

    so i got a response back from Ty at heartland. "I don’t notice any kerosene, chemical or any other offensive smell in our nic and have not had any complaints. Note it does have a slight nicotine scent, it's not completely odorless.

    We do not disclose our source in any shape or form, sorry.

    The master batch dates are from Jan 2014". he advised me to just get a 120ml bottle and check it out and pretty much told me that i would not be disappointed. so i ordered it and also got one from vapingzone (thanks K3vin). i will report back on the heartland. when it comes in.

    It hit the market beginning of dec.2013 I believe, rts was a little later I think.

    I was being lazy by not searching. K3VIN sent him some from Oct that was nasty.

    The wife has a great sense of smell.
    She just said the bottles from Aug and Nov smell identical with no unpleasant odor.
    yay.

    That statement in their response INSTANTLY loses my business! AND that is some of the same attitude that is going to help bring the FDA down on our suppliers! :grr:

    Heartland seems OK. They're on several forums w/o any complaints. In fact, they're about the Only place I haven't heard any bad bottles coming from.

    Of course, that might be volume related.

    i hope they get my bottle shipped out today. i am very interested in these guys. now that there is more chit chat on them... i wish i would have just bought the gallon and left it at that.

    I got a response back from myfreedomsmokes, they said they have had no complaints on thier nic since last summer when they had a bad batch.. They Said thier nic has not changed and also asked me for the email that said it changed.... The "lesson and a discount" email. ... Am I talking about the same place Here.. Ha! .. are they that out of touch?

    Heartland would not even reveal whether their Nic is made from tobacco leaves or tobacco dust... When I see such secrecy, I try to stay away if I can.

    Seems like they have some automated responses set up?

    If they need a copy of that email, I know it's still in my inbox lol
