Could be they obtain their offerings from a vendor which uses the same type of NET process such as Hangsen employs:
Tobacco Extracts ā Tobacco leaves are processed and extracted by chromatography for us in tobacco flavoured e-liquid. Examples of processing techniques include air cure and flue cure. Chromatography is a separation technique in which the required substance is selectively isolated. The type of tobacco leaves, processing technique and chromatographic technique used determines what tobacco flavour this extraction can be used for.
(ā¦ then may add extras to the mix for enhancement)
Tabanone ā A chemical that is naturally found in Turkish tobacco. Tobanone is commonly added tobacco cigarettes for its unique flavour. Addition of Tabanone to e-liquid creates a similar tobacco flavour to these well known brands of cigarettes.
2,5 Dimethylpyrazine ā A flavour additive that enhances taste and aroma in tobacco cigarette and many other food products including coffee and wine.
I found Hangsen tobacco tasty, but as you noted about your choiceā¦ the percentage used was somewhere between 5% and 15% in the mix for a good punchy vape.
I bought $20 worth of samples! Canāt wait to get them! I read some reviews on Facebook about theyāre shipping being bad. Do you have any experience with that? I kind of feel bad bc shipping was free and I live in the US. Guess we will see how it works out!
So much information! I really appreciate you sharing! Iām not ready to dive into nets yet but have read a little about them! I want to get to understand tobacco flavors and what I like before I would get into it. I hated tobaccos for so long. Crazy how things change!
You are in a different part of the world to me, Ordered mine Wednesday, and had no dispatch note yet. But as I had already ordered and recieved 20 odd new concentrates to me, earlier this week and still need to get them mixed up for some samples to work on. I am in no rush for them tbh.
You have done well to get free shipping on a $20 order. I paid Ā£3.20 on a Ā£20 internal shipment in the UK.
Well this thread has tempted me into purchasing a load of samples: black mamba, usa red, ry6, ol capataine, space shark, uk tobacco, delux tobacco, brownstone, stirlingo cream, desert ship, sultan, mrs jones. One of the first juices I bought and liked was a tobacco in the UK by B-Juice. I think that may have been NET, it is the only tobacco I have had that actually tasted like tobacco. I havent purchased that many tobaccos since doing DIY but have found that the ones i have liked have been ones that to me dont really tasteparticularly like tobacco such as Glory, Inawera 555, Soho, AM4A. The flavour arts more tobacco flavours such as perique, cuban and some other companies ones I have found revolting. I have a few tobacco recipes I enjoy but to me they arent real tobaccos like B-Juice was. Hopefully testing these I will find a few that help me on making a proper tobacco recipe of my own and what I want to get out of an RY4 and havent yet as its the remaining flavour profile that I enjoy I am still to nail something Im really happy with of my own.
Ok, so this vapes real nice, Iām not a big tobacco fan, I got this for my dad but had to give it a go, it tastes just like a mild cigarette, Iām quite impressed but prefer my Kustard or raspberry.
I made mine at 3mg nic and my dads at 16mg, Iām gonna guess that the 16 is gonna blow his head off but thatās what he wants
Sounds promising, looking forward to getting mine. Have to say think they are a bit sneaky putting the prices on excluding tax even though it says it in small writing on the cart and bottom of the page (though the sample prices were very cheap regardless so nit picking). The order confirmation not great either in that I havent even recieved any and the cart is still showing all the items in it I ordered? One thing to ask though, did you just order USA Red Mix as the bottle you have there says UK Tobacco on it, which is a different flavour?
Ok, yes UK Tobacco is a different one, I have ordered that amongst the ones I ordered. Looking them up they have been around for ages and the tobaccos have as well and seem very popular. The customer service isnt impressive, also read quite a few negative reviews on them. At the end of the day all I care about is the product though, so as long as I find any from the 12 I love I will be happy.
Mixed my 13 up yesterday 9 tobaccos and 4 fruit. Made a pleasant change to have the room smell of rich tobaccos rather than fruitā¦ I mixed mine in a range of 5 - 10% but I expect to adjust them accordingly.
Grubbyās Ready Mix just add nicotine, takes the guesswork out of having to do that, but you pay a premium for it.
I thought the 10ml concentrate sample packs are excellent value overall and I expect to make at least a litre of finished liquid from the tobacco ones for less than Ā£15 I paid plus base
I ordered mine on the 29th and got a dispatch note (via paypal) from them on the 31st and arrived on the 1st recorded delivery.
They have a vast range to choose from. I particularly like the Black Mamba Ry6 and couple of the pipe ones from previous orders, But got several new ones to try in this batch, so looking forward to it.
Yes, even with the kind of hidden tax, the sample concentrate prices are very good. Not that it bothers me as long as I recieve my order, but I am surprised and would recommend to the company to have a look at there website and order confirmations as it is pretty poor for a company been trading since the early days, they should have improved that. I havent even had problems yet as I only ordered on Friday and I can already understand some of the negative reviews I have seen on there customer service. I emailed them for confirmation and just got my own message sent back.
I am particularly looking forward to the Black Mamba and RY6 you mention funnily enough. B-juices tobacco juice I had years ago was lovely but and concentrates I have tried to match it since then have been horrible. I also liked Rocket Puppies RY4 recipe (one of the first DIY ones I mixed) but no others I have made of my own or other peoples have really hit the button for me so hoping this RY6 or one of the other similar types I have ordered will give me the missing link Im hoping for (as ry4 double by tpa I think is over rated and the OSDIY one I tried was pretty poor).
The tax is just the VAT and what you are seeing on the website are VAT free prices, not that unusual but should be made clearer on their website, As it is only shown in normal text on the very last line of each page āAll products are exclusive of VAT (added at checkout) and recorded shipping to the UKā.
As the checkout cart takes you directly to Paypal and youāre not able to check order summary on their own website, before purchasing or make an account on their website, many people miss this and think they are being ripped off.
Never had to deal with their customer service (I try to avoid all customer service) unless I have to, I find patience pays off and is far less stressful, than an hour on the phone listening to crappy background music or strings of emails over days and come away none the wiser, half the time, it just does my head inā¦
Yeah, maybe they do a lot of wholesale as it is common that way, not to the general public though, hardly seen it from vaping sites thats for sure. I think it is that added to the cart straight to paypal, not being able to click on individual concentrates in the sample page, it is pretty poorly done more than dodgy, just my opinionā¦especially when as inpatient as me, sure I will get them shortly and if any are really good that is far more important than anything else.
Well doing long work hours and getting the posties red card just got my bestcigliquid concentrates today (ended up doing two orders). It looks like they may have a new website when the TPD hits which would be a good thing. Service wise another irritating thing happened though. The second order I placed on the delivery note it seems one of the concentrates was out of stock, no contact from them at allā¦they just automatically replaced it with a different concentrateā¦that I had already ordered in my previous order, annoying. WIll start testing them in five days and report back, for me to order from the company again there will have to be some exceptional ones to be blunt. On the positive front, all the bottles were individually shrink wrapped and packed in mini gripseal bags or lay flat tubing which is very good. Also (not that it means anything really), but some of these smell absolutely fantastic I have to say.
