    Yes I did. Trying them put now. I think the Louisanna Red is the front runner. Thanks so much.
    :)

    Louisiana Red is a Virginia Perique, or VaPer blend. Home & Hearth claims they start with two red Virginias (not as sweet and grassy as yellow Virginias) and add Acadian Perique, grown in the Saint James Parish of Louisiana. Thus the name 'Louisiana Red'. It is well received by pipe smokers and vapes alike.
    Also, there are no added 'top notes' (Vanilla, Cherry, etc.) like in flavored tobaccos. LARed should burn cleaner, but you will still need to keep and eye on your coils/ wicks. It is still a NET.

    Once (and only once), years ago; Mamaw, my oldest son and I went to D.C. for the 4th. Eight million people, free concert, hippies marching to legalize ..., couldn't really get anywhere as the crowds were madding.
    Shortly before we made our way to the Reflection Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial. That's where the fireworks actually are. The three of us were sitting on a blanket looking strait up as the fireworks went off over our heads. Occasionally you could hear the ash landing all around us. Once you have lived that, firework at a strip mall just doesn't seem the same. We were directly below this :

    Totally agree. We did go once, back in late 70's. Before that, they didn't put on the type of display they do now, so that year they advertised that it would be exceptional. Since then, the best viewing is in front of my tv. LOL.

    ok, so, while I'm not a tobacco fan.... what is ya'll's favorite tobacco flavorings?

    Decatur Black Cherry. Homemade NET featuring Virginia, Burley and Black Cavendish topped with a mist of black cherry with a touch of honey and vanilla.
    Commercial NET's - Heather's Heavenly Vapes has Temptation, Legend, and Dragon's Fire which are good.
    I don't do synthetic tobaccos. They are just not the same. But there are people who swear by Hangsen tobacco flavors out of China. I tried a few, but by then I was already into NET flavors.

    Trying the Grapefruit Gin and Tonic. So far it's quite tasty. The guy is coming up today to give me a payment on the wood splitter I sold him. Given the way things are going, I've got to do some thinking about what I may need. I'm pretty certain I have plenty of nic, batteries, and flavors. Also, think I have plenty of PV's but considering a Geekvape Aegis Solo that I can get from ft for 33 and change today. Tons of wire, cotton, and rayon. I'll have to do a count on my flavors. Kind of worried about the displays on my older pv's.

    That sounds good. Are you selling it?

    My top 3 tobaccos at the moment are 555 Gold by Inawera, Soho by Flavor Art, and Red Burley by Flavorah. In my short 3 or 4 months in DIY I'm finding Red Burley to be an awesome mixer.
