From the second paragraph of the intro post...

To begin with, it helps to define what we mean by NET-Naturally Extracted Tobacco. It is, as we define it, an E-liquid made with a high proportion of extracted tobacco. It does not mean liquids that get most of their tobacco flavor from tobacco absolute, tobacco extract, or synthetic tobacco flavoring.

Yeah I got that, but I visited Ahlusion after seeing it mentioned a few times in here. It doesn't state anywhere about NETs (maybe I missed it?). MBV didn't say anything about it either, was just wondering if there was a certain way to know, maybe taste wise? I taste a smokey tobacco in my American Tobacco juice from MBV. Once again, sorry if it's a stupid question. Its like information overload with ecigs and im slowly learning every day.

That settles it. I'm starting a company called Vaping Harlot and releasing Best-er Damn Tobacco, which will be followed by Bestest Damn Tobacco, and eventually Bestest Damnedest Tobacco. The last one will probably be released by a spin-off company called Vaping Man ......

That's an initiative I could get behind...

I'll start work on the logos and branding.

Thanks gthompson. I will keep a watch on this thread and maybe see what the majority vote is and give that a try for my second order of finding my ADV.

Check out the Natural Tobacco thread to learn everything you could possibly want to know about NET and feel free to ask any questions there. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=274904

Every tobacco at Ahlusion is a NET. Every tobacco at MBV is a synthetic.

No love for HHV sludge? I got a bunch of HHV NETs on the way and hopefully I can weigh in on this topic... I just see almost every flavor I ordered being mentioned except for Sludge, what gives?


It's steeping.

As a matter of fact, that will be my answer for any "what about XXXXX" or "no love for XXXXX" comments.

The nice thing is it will very likely be true.

I enjoyed Sludge/Gollum when I had it last year, but more as a dessert vape. In retrospect, I probably should have let it steep longer. I only gave it 17 days, with the first two days uncapped. As it was, it was definitely enjoyable, but the sweetness overshadowed the tobacco more than I would liked.

Nice list Tez! Glad to see some love for my sweetie Georgia Peach. Feel a tinge of guilt I didn't find a spot for Vurley. I think best vanilla tobacco should be a category, because well.. it's vanilla! Though I'm sure we all could come up with a flavor we want a category for.

Managua huh? That one and Stockholm will be the only Vapenstein and Premium I haven't tried. I'll write it down. I see the epipemods pipe sauce sample pack is availble again now, I'll need to jump on that soon too.

Yeah, you've got quite a nice list yourself, Jerms! I'm definitely a Vurley guy, but Sweet Georgia Peach totally blew me away. I only give Vurley a slight edge, but I think that SGP is the best and most balanced fruit/tobacco I've ever tried. The tobacco doesn't hide behind the fruit, and they both complement each other beautifully.

All W2V's cigars are very solid in my opinion, but I tend toward the darker ones, and I give Managua a slight edge over Alcazar. I haven't tried their PURE "Smoke" that's been getting some love here, but I'll try it out on my next order. Stockholm's a very unique juice, but would hold little appeal for someone who isn't fond of anise in a vape.

The ePipeMods sampler is a good way to go, although to be honest I found Grandpa's Cough Syrup to be fairly revolting. 5 out of 6 ain't bad, I suppose. It's too bad they don't offer singles in the smaller bottles or have a 10 or 15 ml size. The rest of them are decent, and Longbottom Leaf is one I always come back to. Shire Malt is fairly similar, but perhaps slightly more rich.

My regret is that I couldn't find a place for GeJ's Patriot. For me it's a strong contender in several of the categories.

I am going to do my post a little different--when I actually do it--so that it will reflect my own "NETty" rankings. The top pick per category will be "best" in the sense of accurate (when applicable, e.g., "best" pipe, cigar, cig) and "best" meaning my fav in the more subjective categories, e.g., sweet, fruit, unsweet, etc. For the sake of providing more of a comprehensive display of what I respect and consider to be worthy of checking out, I will do 5 juices per category (#s 4 & 5 being like an honorable mention). For the purposes of this thread, the #1 will be what gets tallied.

Best Non-NET Tobacco

Just out of curiosity, to see if NETheads like any non-NET tobacco. Can include artificial tobacco flavors, or tobacco absolute/tobacco extract liquids.

Ahlusion - Smooth Criminal. hints of strawberry tiniest hint of cinnamon and vanilla in the background, with those yeasty/cereal front notes providing the reminiscence of a fresh opened pack of cigarettes

Hey Hula, why do you have SC in non-NETs? :confused:

Always over the top, but so enlightening because of it you are!

My own list forthcoming, perhaps tonight...
