I don't know what happened with NETs Pop. They were really quite popular 5 - 7 years ago. Such a loyal following and a lot of excitement around it. Then it sort of just leveled out while fruit, dessert, and beverage flavors took off. It doesn't bother me as I'm just happy people find what they like. But I do wonder how many of these non-NET vapers know what they are missing because they never tried them. Remember all the people who went with Heather's fruits and desserts who we convinced to try some of the NETs and then they made the switch? Our dear, sweet, lovely Robin was one of them (among others).
Several contributions there. The Ol' Crowd (Luce, Mann, Scarf, GT, Carbon Thief,Johnny, etc) just don't come around anymore. Used to be the Natural Tobaccos thread rolled right along every night.
Back when you and I started, it seemed like most people into vaping were older people desperate to get off the Tobacco. We could chat with our Vendors online, here at the ECF or over the phone. Vaping at 8 to 12 Watts was the norm, some went as low as 4 or 5 Watts, Nowadays... much younger crowd, pushing 50 to 80 Watts, buying cheap gear from countries that don't speak the same language.
And the Vendors have changed. Used to be you could find out exactly what was in e-liquids (maybe not the exact ratios, but at least the ingredients). Now everything has weird names, coming from who knows where.
Halo and Highbrow are still around, but I always thought they were synthetic. Ahlusion is reportedly synthetic tobaccos now. MyVapeJuice has closed for several years now. Does anyone really know if they are actually buying Tobacco flavors or synthetic substitutes anymore ? HHV is holding on, but the old guard is fading.
That's why I am satisfied with DIY Tobacco extractions. Yea, there have been some failures along the way, but I am still vaping quality real tobacco flavors.
