Hey all, I am just starting out making my own NETs from pipe tobaccos. I used to smoke a pipe, but had to quit using nicotine. So, I’ve taken my favorite tobaccos and have them macerating in 100% PG as I’ve read you’re supposed to do. While I wait (what…a couple months?), I ordered some NET vape liquid from Black Note and another smaller operation. I am hugely underwhelmed at the taste. It’s like syrup with a hint of tobacco flavor…not at all the “tastes like a fresh tin of tobacco smells” promise. So, here are my questions for those with experience:
- Is homemade NET that much better, or do I have the same overly sweet, less like tobacco taste to look forward to?
- For those with pipe experience, do you find that certain tobaccos/blends lend themselves to better flavor extraction than others? I am a huge VaPer (Virginia Perique) fan and am okay with some latakia.
- I read that you should wait and shake daily for 1-2 months. Is longer than that even better?
- What’s the favorite straining method that retains flavor?
Thanks so much!
