Good morning everyone.

I have to admit, I am a bit excited. Last night I placed an order with Stixx Mixx for 7 of their NETs. I was pretty surprised at how cheap it was considering the cost.... Perhaps I have just been away from NETs too long. I know I have to add my own nic/pg/vg, however, it still seemed cheap for the number of types and the amount I can make with the extractions.

I'll probably raise my nic level to 5mg. for them because I plan on using my old Veritas rda and dropping my wattage down to around 15 watts.

    @Skeebo already said this, but I'll say it again: it's not a bourbon flavor at all. Bourbon is a kind of vanilla.



    FA made life confusing when it called one flavor Bourbon (Vanilla Bourbon) and another Madagascar (Vanilla Classic).
    FA didn't get a chance to confuse me :lol: I use TFA Vanilla Bourbon ....... LOL

    Gonna test my MF flavors by putting one drop in 5mls of base and then letting them sit for a month. At least they'll be nice and easy to mix.

    I'm torn: I want to love them, because they cost so much, but, if I do, I'll be stuck buying ridiculously expensive flavors. Oh well. At least I'm at the point where my vaping purchases will henceforth be limited to VG, PG, flavors, wire, and wicking material.

    I heard they are good, so I will eagerly wait your thoughts on them. I also heard they are very concentrated... I wonder if it's something that should be put in a dilution of pg, and then that is what is use to mix with... Just plucking at straws really, I don't know much about them. On the plus side, you can hit that free shipping quota pretty quickly with them.:)

    I almost got the MF Grapefruit but decided against it.

    @Letitia said elsewhere that "very few use any MF above 0.5-1%. Most only use 0.1-0.4%." I think you're right: 10% solutions will be in order.

    @FranC, I got the grapefruit, along with butterscotch, coconut, raspberry, peach, blueberry, orange, mango, and guava. It was an expensive experiment in optimism. Even at half price.

    I hope to make a order soon. I'm really concerned about people reporting that they are coil killers. I don't have time to make coils right now.
    In the past I tried a brand by VASH and they were coil cloggers.

    I think these are supposed to be less harsh on coils compared to those old style NETs you and I vaped back in the day. I can't remember the sweet woman's name over at MyVapeJuice (I think it was called) but I think these are more like hers. She had some incredible NETs... She closed shop around 2015 when the first signs of the FDA getting involved started happening. I know she also had some health problems.

    I have rebuildables so when I get time I'll sample some. I looked at a third party seller and they are listed higher than ordering direct. (Wizard lab)

    No Perique? If you look on the website it will give you recommended mixing percentage. I mix a couple % below that.

    Will be looking at your review of the grapefruit.
