"True Leaf Vapor" NET E-Liquid — Has anyone tried this stuff?

[sk8man121]

A brick and mortar shop just opened up in Portland, ME (the first in the area) and I grabbed a bottle of True Leaf Vapor's "Dusk." It's an NET, apparently made in SoCal by the same folks behind Nirvana Vapor. Has anyone seen or heard of this stuff? I've never seen such a thick, dark brown e-liquid before and it has a taste unlike anything I've experienced. Is this true of NETs across the board? Are they safe in comparison to regular e-liquids?

Their website — True Leaf Vapor (NET's)

How's it taste? I'm on the hunt for a true tobacco juice.

Rich, dark and not like candy. Definitely the closest thing I've tasted to a cigarette in vape form.

Sounds like my kind of juice. I'll have to check them out. Steep time?

Let it steep a bit. I got Midnight from True Leaf and didn't taste much out of the package. After a few weeks it seems to be coming along nicely.

vaped amber right out of the mail, tastes just about as close to an analog as you're gonna get imo...even that tounge tingle sensation is there. like a marlboro red, but has something else in it that makes it taste more exotic if you will lol.

Are NETs safe?

I would say unflavored no-nic eliquid is likely the safest, followed by unflavored nic, then regular flavors (excluding diacetyl and the like), and then NETs. But, that is just an assumption and a generalization as I am positive that many NETs are safer than flavors with lord knows what in them (including crazy colors). Not to mention how one vapes can take even unflavored no-nic eliquid (PG/VG) and make it suspect -- heat it up excessively; use some strange wicking, or vaping on spent wick/coils.

If you were a smoker, the point is we are reducing harm; if you were never a smoker, one could argue you are avoiding a much greater harm by vaping instead of smoking. When in doubt, err on the side of moderation if not total avoidance.

p.s. I have yet to try True Leaf.

It's an interesting thing to note, as I feel like a lot of what is in e-juice that people consider to be just fine (regular flavors) could be super gnarly...

Just because someone makes an elquid, doesn't mean that it's good. Goes with synthetic as well as NETs. Not everyone has the talent to balance the ingredients and produce the better products; not every vendor uses high grade ingredients.

Every one who vapes has had bad elquid. It takes time to find vendors that match our specific flavor profile and sensitivities, our individual balance, to meet our needs. And those individual profiles, or tastes, do change over time as our body chemistry changes with quitting smoking and age.

This is why I'm going to give Five Pawns a shot!
