The NETty awards!

[Bronze]

So I'm confused. Does Backwoods Brew do NETs or not? I'm finding (based on what I read) that BWB is either love or hate. Is this one of those tobacco lines that have a base theme like VR...the same tobacco with a slight bend to the top notes?

Good question, I think Mr. Mann said he couldn't get a straight answer from them... I have only had their Virginia, and Adirondack. Neither tastes like any other NETs I have had, but I bought them assuming they were NETs. For the record, I find Adirondack to be incredibly bland.

How about the Virginia?

I'm one who defaults to non-NET if the vendor doesn't want to reveal it. If it were a NET, the vendor would be proud to tell you as a selling point. At least that's my twisted thinking.

You mentioned the companies that have the same base theme and come to think of it Adirondack tastes like a really light version of Virginia.

Virginia to me was terrible out of the mailbox and after the recommended 7 days of steeping. After 3 weeks I really started to like it. Very slightly sweet and tea like on the inhale and then a nice spicy finish. The Adirondack has none of that spiciness. Again, neither has the kind of flavor or feel that I have had from genuine NET vendors like GeJ and MOV.

I have never been able to figure that out. Don@BWB is probably the only one who knows the truth, but here is the description:

"A classic - Backwoods Brew style. Clean, full tobacco flavor all day long. Home brewed taste with generous throat hit and clouds of vapor. Many point to this flavor as the one that got them off analogs for good with its rich, full-bodied tobacco taste."

Home brewed? Sounds like an in-house extract to me. Either way, Virginia is the juice that really took vaping into high gear for me, and after 18 months, it is still a mainstay in my juice stash.

I got a confirmation that Backo and Virginia share the base in common (or something to that effect). RY4 and eJoker did too. That said, I don't know of any NET vendor that doesn't have at least a couple juices that share a base, but I only know of one that has every tobacco in their entire line-up with only one base.

 

[Mr.Mann]

Oh yeah, VR has (at least) three bases for three different lines (one each). The Max Blend line uses the two bases from Classic and Kentucky and mixes the two.

I feel the same way about Adironback and Backo. At first I thought it was just my lack of fine tuning to a high quality subtle and sublime blend but after a year of having it sit in my juice cabinet I don't feel any differently about it. It's not bad, it is just incredibly dry or bland, like whatever flavour is contain needs to be amplified by a power of 10.

On the other hand, Casablanca, 555 exotic, malty and a few of the others had ample flavour.

There's not many of us 555e fans around anymore. Did you see my post in the NT thread about the base of some of those juices? It was a quote from the man at BWB.

'Home brew 'taste' is a big hint that it's the flavouring that is home made and not the tobacco. I don't know if I am the only one, but that appears to be the kicker to me that they are not naturally extracted tobaccos but home brewed, natural and organic flavourings.

Yeah I did Mr Mann, you fountain of knowledge and digger of information you

I tried and tried with as much creative questioning as I could muster up, but I could not get Don to reveal which had natural tobaccos. I know he used them in the past, but what if any remain is his to know and no one else's to question. I taste ZERO NET is 555e, so if it, Backo, Virginia and others, as he stated, have the same base, I could venture a guess that those are not NETs. I never tried Adriondack and a few others, so I can't guess as to what those taste like.

At the end of the night, which it is (for me at least), I don't really give a rat's bottom which is NET because I do know what ones work for me. The NET info would help for understanding how tobacco presents itself in different vapes, but not in what we will like or not. Psych, I do want to know. LOL

How much time is left? I have been thinking about this damn thread for too long now. LOL. Maybe I am procrastinating, maybe I am being indecisive, or maybe I am waiting for my tastes to change one last time. Wait a second, yep, they just changed.

Tut tut! Give it a whirl Mr. M. We're all awaiting with held breath. Well, only figuratively of course, otherwise we'd all be dead by now, but give it a try - so we can be entertained by how many times you change and move your choices about. LOL
