rut-roh... this list shows me I'm moving into a similar rut.

Nice selection of course, I have them as favs on my re-order list too. except the GeJ Perique, Sahara Blend and your DIY ASO

GJ4 is gunkier on my coils than Organic#1 or Patriot but they are all good. Ahl 'non-aero tobaccos' are so much cleaner and sooo good too.

GJ4 is very good I'd say too but the gunking prevents it to be something I'd vape every day. I've been recently discovering Ahl 'non-aero tobaccos'. Not a pure tobacco experience, but good complexity with much cleaner coils.

.........................

Notes:

-- I gave Porch Rocker the #1 spot for English/Latakia Blends for 2 reasons: 1) I think it's the most unique of the bunch due to the Perique-taste dominance, and 2) all the other first-to-mention "English Blends" like Devil Dog!, London and Apache are just far too quick to gunk. So in this case, "best" had to include uniqueness and performance just to make the category, for me, easier to separate the wheat from the chaff.

-- Unfortunately, I haven't yet had the opportunity to try any of NET.com's flavored/hybrid NETs or their single varietals, but I have a suspicion that they would've been included somewhere in their respective categories.

-- This is a link to my rankings from last year: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ussion/412570-netty-awards-7.html#post9678461

--Lastly, I want to add my own list of a top 3:

Best NET vendors
1. Naturallyextractedtobacco.com
2. want2vape.com
3. Ahlusion.us

 

[Jerms]

Thanks for the ballots Chinook and Mann.. lets keep em coming!

Just a note for the categories that have the "/" that means one and/or the other.

Turkish/Oriental blends; that includes straight Turkish, blends that include Turkish, and even no Turkish but another type of Oriental tobacco would all fit in that category.

English/Latakia blends includes any English blend with or without Latakia, and also non-English Latakia blends, and even for those very bold folks, straight Latakia.

Synthetic/Non-NET tobacco includes synthetic and lab made tobacco flavors and also ones that contain products that come from tobacco but aren't usually considered NET like TA and TE containing liquids.

Thanks for the clarification!

Thanks for the clarification!

You're welcome.

It's all in the first post where I describe the categories, but I'll admit it's a pretty long post so many probably didn't get that far lol.

 

[Mr.Mann]

Sho'nuff! I admittedly skipped ahead to the "form."

 

[Jerms]

Being a guy, I try not to read directions!

 

[Mr.Mann]

Jerms, I know you already locked my votes in, but I had to add w2v's RY4 just for the record. I had been waiting on Donley to get back with me to confirm it was a natural tobacco base, and I got the message tonight -- it is. I thought I remember bill saying it was, but I couldn't find it as anything "RY4" related with bill sends even the best search engine into a frenzy! LOL. I actually like it more than GJ4, but I barely notice any real tobacco, so it being at #3 makes sense for that category (an NET RY4). Just as an RY4, it's great though.

 

[Big Juicy]

Mann, as expected, awesome frickin' ballot.

i didn't notice you were a NETCOm fanboy!!! Black Cav is underrated IMHO.

No love for Vita Bella???

I got love for Vita, but not within 5. As far as NET.com -- well, who can honestly trump that model?

 

[charlzrocks]

Understood...take my ballot away from the rest....I am a noob to NET, although the Vermillion River Juice is mentioned in the 3rd tier a few pages back, I wouldn't want you to base anything solely on them. I am getting more samples to get the whole feel of this NET thing anyway. Carry on......

Charlzrocks, from what I know, none of these are NET. You may change them if it's done before I tabulate your votes later.

Everyone please read the first post of the two threads I linked to in the OP if your not sure what a NET is. This is the last post I'm going to point out the non-NETs, so please have a general understanding of what is a NET and if your selections are NET before voting.

You're good. I wrote down your ballet, just didn't include the non-NETs because they won't effect the end votes anyways.

Vermillion River does have NETs, but like most NET vendors they also have a line of synthetic tobaccos.

 

[charlzrocks]

Ok cool. I just ordered a sample pack from NET.com so we'll see how that goes, thanks!
