So I'm sitting here vaping Scotty's Honey and Chocolate, an old favorite. Only this extract was Heat Extraction with PGA/VG. Much stronger top notes, so much so that tobacco isn't noticable. Definitely enjoyable if you want flavored tobaccos. Don't know if I personally would want this much honey in my vape, but the chocolate shines through as well. For me, I think I'll keep extracting this one via Cold Maceration.

Ok, this weird but I picked up the set up with the 84 Turkish tonight and am liking it. I’ve been using it for about 15 minutes continuously and enjoying it. Maybe my tastebuds were off when I tried it the first time.
Hearth & Home Vermont Meat Candy - Pipes and Cigars
Extracted (cold maceration) - Winter 2021
Mixed (30/70 w/10mg nicotine) - 6/6/2021
The term "Vermont Meat Candy" piques the interest, and may have even raised a few eyebrows in this thread. The name comes from a Maple and Bacon flavoring that is promised by the manufacturer.
The Maple flavored Cavendish is front and center, sweet syrupy flavor of Maple. But it does not stand alone, there is a darker, more earthy supporting flavor of a smoky fire-cured Burley. While the Hickory smoked Burley doesn't quite mimic the flavor of bacon, it does add a good bit of heft to an otherwise sweetened Cavendish. Listed as a "mild" tobacco, I find the Burley moves this more towards a "mild-to-medium" flavor.
Vaping at around 11Watts on a REOS Grand / Vapefly Galaxies combo, I personally find this an intriguing mixture that is both sweet from the Maple Cavendish, yet dark and earthy from the fire-cured Kentucky Burley. I don't know that I would call this a dessert vape, or an all-day vape. More of an interesting change-of-pace, but worth a try.

You do a much better job describing it but I really like that one.

Smooth. Very Smooth. This is a Black Cavendish Blend, very easy on the palate. It is supported by a mild Burley (maybe a White Burley ?) that adds little more a tobacco body to the blend. The sweetness of the Black Cavendish is assisted by a subtle Mocha top note. A quick "Google check" describes Mocha as a specific coffee bean grown in Mocha, Yemen. The term has been adapted by a chocolate-coffee mix. This adaption describes the subtle top note that has been added. The supposed addition of 'nougat', a sugar based candy, is not noticeable.
Though Black Cavendish and White Burley are traditionally mild tobaccos, together they bump this to a mild-medium flavor enhanced by the coffee and chocolate soft notes of the mocha. Very much a dessert vape, this could be enjoyed quite a bit by those who indulge in an after-dinner coffee, without the caffeine.

A smooth and delightful VaPer that is richer than Anniversary Kake, but not as strong as Louisiana Red.
The Virginias are listed as Red and Bright, although I am not getting any of the 'grassy' aftertaste often associated with bright Virginias. The late Bob Runowski, a Master Blender at Cornell & Deihl, added 25% Louisiana Perique. Cannot tell if it's St. James Parrish or Arcadian Perique, but it is smoother. The Perique still has that tangy taste without as much spicy bite usually attributed to the tobacco.
Those who enjoy Virginia/ Perique blends, or VaPer tobaccos, should give this one a try.

Trying the OHM Turkish Yellow. Finding it not my favorite but still a nice smooth tobacco. Frenchies will be next/last.
Just a few thoughts ; People have different tastes, so I do not expect everyone to agree with mine. Or, as I have said, compliance is not a requirement ! 
I recommend mixing 10ml samples at 10% extract as a starting point! Like any other DIY flavor, the percentages can be more or less depending on one's preference.
Also, I personally believe four weeks steep time is a minimum, and though some might disagree even those who are in a hurry will admit longer steep times does help bring out the flavor.
And, as always, clean and well maintained vaping equipment is key. NET e-liquids require routinely maintained vaping gear, as they can be 'gunky'.
And, finally, as I mentioned in the OP, I am not a big fan of Latakia based English blends. There are those who prefer much stronger tobacco flavors. To each their own, and I am more into the Milder Side of NET flavors.

After all this time vaping I have found most NETs are at 80- 90% after two weeks. After a month they're aged out (one exception was Vita Bella by Goodejuice that took 3 months...no idea why). This is not to say they get better with age though I think most people agree they do. But there are exceptions where there are those who prefer freshly mixed juice over aged juice.Just a few tights ; People have different tastes, so I do not expect everyone to agree with mine.

So I am revisiting Russ' Fudge Cake, which I mixed three months ago towards th end of May. The top note has faded a bit, that "Hershey's Chocolate" flavor is gone. The Black Cavendish is front and center now, with the Chocolate top note more of a cocoa supporting role.
This is only the first aged Heat Extraction I have tried, but it seems as though Heated OEA extraction is not helping this selection to retain it's top note flavor any longer than Cold Maceration does. I was hoping it would be otherwise when it comes to aromatic tobaccos and their flavorings.
Nation's Capitol is next to try again, as it too has aged three months....

Can't say I'm surprised Pop. I think the cocoa note is still there but one of the other flavors crowded it out.
I can't agree more. So many times I wasn't satisfied with a tobacco, only to like it later on. I've come to get it in mind...if at first I don't like it, steep it more and come back to it later.Our friend @Bronze is fond of saying "Vape it 'til you Like it !"
Glad to see the thread ticking along. For some reason I didn't get alerts for a while....only to be pleasantly surprised when I went looking for it
Personal taste and preference changes over time so it's good to have a variety of NETs to choose from. For the past month I've been enjoying cigar NETs, Acid Blondie and Rocky Patel. Both are extremely well aged (several years).
