    Funny… I’ve glazed over Stixx many times but never really put much interest in them. In Canada they are about double the price of usual flavourings. Never knew they were NET’s. Which flavours have you tried?
    Aged Burley
    Perique
    Dark Fire
    H. Primed
    Honduran Ligero
    Latakia Fire Cured
    Light Fire Cured
    The Supreme
    Whiskey Cavendish

    Oh but I have several NET flavors that taste nothing alike and certainly not like mud. NETs mixed with fruits, vanillas or chocolate and more. Nothing one dimensional about it.

    Totally understand. I have vaped them all and grew to like my chocolates with custards, my fruits with creams, and my vanillas with bakery notes... I have never made a cherry pie with tobacco flavoring and probably never will. :) A tobacco sundae just doesn't float my boat anymore I guess.

    But I am thrilled it works for some.

    Trying to convince the wife (Mrs. Frowny Face) that I need a new table and chair to work on. A 6' white plastic table is $40 at Sam's Club, chairs are a bit more for what I want (office chair for Big & Tall).

    You’re going all in! LOL! The rabbit hole is deep…actually it can be endless!

    I like to mix on a stable platform. But I use weight as a method of measurement so there is a bonus to stability.

    I see many syringes in your picture, you plan on mixing by volume or weight?

    5 of the NETs I Have are new and still steeping

    Dark Fire is not for the faint of heart. It is good but it’s a strong NET
    Honduran Ligero is a lighter NET that mixes well with fruit.
    Whiskey Cavendish isn’t a love but ok if spiked with extra booze.
    Perique I love in a vanilla recipe.

    You had me at “whiskey”. The extra “booze” stole my heart. LOL! :wub:

    My wife isn't "frowny face" but has no interest in vaping (she does, however support my vaping obsession) She still likes her Marlboro Reds but only smokes about 5 a day (unlike my previous pack a day habit) so I respect her for that.

    My wife does NOT support my vaping, even though smoking almost killed me in 2017. She hates me vaping and now hates me mixing my own. It's like pulling teeth to get anything around here.

    Some people say certain flavors that include bourbon have too much of a "boozy" taste... I instantly want that one because if it's going to have a Bourbon flavor it should be a big part of the flavor... otherwise why bother?

    I totally understand. I suppose I just burned out on that one dimensional mud flavor. I will say, River Bottom Fog Sauce was good until they closed.

    It is easy to burn out on NETs. Specifically the uncased NETS (unflavored). Very good in short sessions but not an ADV for many people. Blending with flavors addresses these limitations and make them much, much more than one dimensional as Fran points out.

    Vaping NETs is very similar to pipe tobacco. Most pipe smokers vape flavored tobacco. Many smoke a wide variety of blends.

    That’s too bad. My wife says I have too much gear but doesn’t nag about it. She see’s how much better I am health wise vaping instead of smoking and supports it.

    Which NETs are light? Not cigar or pipe like?
    I haven't tried them all and I believe they are all pipe or cigar but to me they are not cigar or pipe like. At least the ones I've tried so far. The Honduran Ligero is light and mixes very well with fruits. Light Fire Cured is another. @Bronze could answer that better.

    Trust me, It does NOT have a big boozy taste.
