I tried three of the four so far that you sent. I got stuck on the honey chocolate and hadn’t gotten around to trying the last one which is black cherry but cleaned a tank earlier and am going to try it today.

I hope you have enjoyed them. I have been stuck on Creamy Butterscotch NET for about two weeks now.

    I’ve really liked all three very much. The honey chocolate stood out for me. I also mixed a couple in a tank and it was good.

    I got my bottles cleaned and cleaned three tanks and two rdas. I’m hoping to get a couple more sft and a couple new recipes tried today.
    You are on a roll today. I expect reports on the mixes and sfts:)

    Not everyone makes the money you do at present.

    Oh no, she'd probably have to pay for it. I'm NEVER gonna amass the amount of money she did. She divorced my dad right AFTER his company was bought out by Merc and like got half the shares money, then she married a rather stereotypical (when it came to money anyway) Jewish dude who like, amassed HORDES of 401 K money and life insurance and died of cancer. She is also still working supposedly part-time but yeah, she's set for life.

    I'm sorry, it was not meant as a slight! If it was a financial issue I completely understand, I really apologize :wub:

    Dumping one of my 15ml mixes.Just not caring much for it. Not sure if I posted the recipe here or not. But it’s Rum Compote. I have Avocado Bliss now that I’m liking much better.Prettu sure you’ll find both recipes in Zazie’s blog.

    I got a little sidetracked on doing my sft. I took my daughter to guitar center to look at some digital pianos. She wants one for Xmas.

    I tried Fa tiramisu at 3%. First reaction is it’s too strong and tastes like burnt coffee. The second one is Flv marshmallow vanilla. It’s kind of sweet but doesn’t taste like much. It definitely has a thick mouth feel.

    I never could bring myself to like any tiramisu.

    For me anyway I just add a bit of cream of some sort, and it is a good coffee vape, the only one I have ever liked. :)

    I am just scanning the last few pages here, and I happened to see this post. Might I add a few thoughts ...
    There are lighter and heavier NET flavors. Virginia based tobaccos tend to be sweeter due to the natural sugars in the leaf. Burley is mild, and Cavendish is actually a process, not a type, where the stems and views are removed to make a lighter, sweeter taste. Perique is a white leaf tobacco that is grown and processed only in Louisiana, and is a little spicy. Turkish tobacco is a little bolder, and Latakia is processed (smoked and pressed) to be hearty and strong. Think English Blends for Latakia.
    Cigar tobaccos, like Maduro and Connecticut Leaf, are usually drier. Criollo and Corojo are grown from Cuban seeds in Honduras and Kentucky. Again, drier than most pipe tobaccos.
    And then there are various processing methods, and countless top notes (Vanilla, Cherry, Caramel) are lightly sprayed onto the tobacco to give it a distinct flavor.
    Too Much Information ? Probably.
    If you are looking for a pipe tobacco taste, try a mild blend of Virginia, Burley and Cavendish tobaccos with a top note flavor to start. Vendors like Heather's Heavenly Vapes and Naturally-Extracted-Tobaccos offer these.
    Hangsen sells extracts that are quite popular as well, but I make my own so I can't comment on them.
    That was very comprehensive (I mean that as a compliment). I think the problem is, I would want a tobacco that doesn’t taste like tobacco. I’m not sure it’s worth pursuing to use as a background note. I was curious because there seemed to be a vast taste difference between tobacco flavors and NETs.

    I have some of @PapawBrett s NETS. Not the dessert ones. They do have a definite tobacco taste.
