So far I've really enjoyed everything I tried, including the teas—I'm not really much of a tea drinker, but I like vaping it—it has a REAL flavor with minimal sweetness. Gyokuro is my favorite. I can even imagine myself eventually reducing the nicotine.

The real revelation has been the tobacco flavors. It's been a year since I started vaping and stopped smoking and until now the worst part of quitting has been finding any flavor vape that was satisfying with coffee or after a good meal. Until I quit I was smoking a Perique blend of American Spirits so I’ll have to try your Perique next.

I don't think I'll even be going back to the unfinished bottles of Five Pawns!

Thank you,

P.S. Thanks for the samples!

... I think I've doubled the lifespan of my coils and wicks.

Smoke free for a whole year! I don't know who is more amazed, me or my family and friends. Yet, I'm still able to enjoy one of the loves of my life, great tobacco! I sat with colleagues here in Vegas tonight while they enjoyed cigars as I was completely happy and satisfied with your PA Oscuro. We chatted and lied and laughed and my life is improved in ways I never expected.
I owe this new chapter of my life in large part to you. Your commitment and passion to bring the essences of great tobacco to those of us who would sorely miss its presence in our lives is appreciated in ways that escape mere words. Vaping would have come and gone by now had it not been for your hard work.
Your success at this endeavor goes well beyond fiduciary measures. You may have extended lives and made those years more enjoyable for those your work has touched.
With each draw on your vape, as you critique and evaluate your work, you should be gratified with what you have accomplished.

OMG! The Banana Tobacco is incredible. It may not be a traditional tobacco flavoring but it should have been. Smooth fruit notes are married with the Virginia leaf making an exquisite vape.
I have never experienced anything like it. I'm hooked.

I liked the Virginia foob, but put it aside for a few months just because I'm trying to finish off a large inventory of juices. So, now back to it, and it's wonderful. Clean, delicious tobacco.

Your berry tobaccos are the best sweet thing out there man…ordered the raspberry first because it's so unique. Mouth hit under the tongue.. Wow!… It's official, I'm done with the rest (artificial flavors).

Been quite a while since I've hit the forum (ECF), but I saw this thread and wanted to mention Real Extracts. I found this site looking for a tobacco vape that wasn't flavored with anything but tobacco. I've tried various extracts (which will blissfully remain unnamed) and wasn't really all that impressed. I bought a range of juices from this site not all that optimistic. The day following my order I got a call from Evan (the owner) asking me about my tastes, vaping history, smoking history and what I liked. It turned into about an hour conversation where he described to me his experience and what he was doing with his juice.

Turns out he has a strong chemistry background has traveled all over the damn world smoking various tobaccos and has a unique way of processing. Basically a neat guy.But that's not why I felt like making this post.

I got the shipment in a couple of days fired up his Virginia English blend and finally tasted what I've been missing since I started vaping 4 years ago. I also have been enjoying a Virginia/Burley blend. The juice is clean, no after smell, great throat hit, mouth feel, and finish. It isn't cheap, definitely not for cloud chasers, but if you folks have been missig a vape that I think comes really close to the Old Gold, Camel, Lucky Strikes like they were made in the pre '60's era they're worth your time.

He's got what must be a hundred different types of leaves that he gets from brokers from North Carolina to Amsterdam and has a partner in Cali that processes fruit in the same fashion. I have always hated fruit, but he included a sample of Raspberry and, believe it or not, it was Raspberry not an interpretation of Raspberry It was fruit.

It's impossible for anyone of us tobacco lovers to try every vape out there, but I was impressed enough with this juice and the way the guy is making it, to feel compelled to post about it.

I only do NET. These extracts from RTE are absolutely unique and as good as they get. The extracts are all cold extractions which, to my taste, are superior to Clay's which are heat extracted.
The whole leaf flavors of the Burley, Virginia and Turkish are exquisite. The Havana flavors are simply wonderful. I especially like the Sumatra Wrapper leaf - light green color and floral notes. The Maple Tobacco is just yummy.
The higher cost of these cold extractions is reasonable considering the amount of time (many months) it takes to get where these go. The cold extractions make for a fresh bright tobacco flavor unlike the heated extractions which are muddier in flavor. These do not gunk up as much as the heated extractions - that's a plus too.
I love every flavor Evan has sent me. I tested these in my Kayfun V5 (highly recommended for organics).
After smoking the best for over 30years, now I can vape the best.

The Juice: "ENGLISH is pure a natural tobacco extracted flavor using a BRIGHT VIRGINIA whole leaf extract. It is available only in 70/30 PG/VG"

The Hardware: Mech with Atomic dripper, 1ohm micro coil of 28ga Kanthal, Koh Gen Do wick.

Ratings are from 1-5 depending on where a juice falls in an attributes spectrum. Only the last rating, "overall", is based on 5 being the best. (For sweetness 1 equals very dry and 5 equals very sweet. For tobacco impact 1 equals very mild tobacco and 5 equals very aggressive and/or complex.)

Sweetness: 2.5. Virginia tobacco has a high sugar content, which makes it fairly sweet without the addition of added flavors. This juice is less sweet than a flavored aromatic or Cavendish blend, but still contains a nice level of sweetness as expected from cured Virginia leaves. It's sort of a green, vegetative, type of sweet. Extremely pleasant and natural, never cloying.

Tobacco Impact: 4. English is a single varietal NET made purely from bright yellow Virginia leaves. Virginia has a fairly mild flavor, but when presented like this as a straight non-aromatic without added flavoring it gives a very pure, authentic tobacco experience. Virginia NETs have a leafy taste that provides a bite and mouth feel that I just love, and English has a pitch perfect level of that leafy bite. Some may equate it to a grassiness. Triple filtered at 2.7 microns, the level of extract in this recipe provides great flavor with just moderate gunking.

Vapability: 5. A Virginia NET like this is an anytime vape for me. It works for me at all times, and is also a flavor I really crave when wanting that leafy, sweet tobacco. English does an amazing job at maintaining all it's flavor, so I can enjoy it for hours, even days, on end.

Flavor Accuracy: 4.5. Tastes exactly as expected. I like how RTE names the specific tobaccos used in each juice, and offer a good amount of information on their site about their methods and philosophies. English seems like an odd choice as a name for this juice as it brings to mind the English blends many NET vapers are accustomed to, which is usually a non-aromatic pipe blend containing several tobacco varieties, but that's just a small quibble.

Overall: 4.5. I have 3 NETs from RTE and they are all well made, but this one stands out to me the most because of my personal preference of loving the flavor of Virginia tobacco. LTE uses high quality leaves and professional methods to produce an exceptional product.

Real Extract Tobaccos - I've been caught up with work and a busy summer schedule, but I wanted to post some thoughts on the Real Extracts, LLC juices that I received in early July and that I've just revisited the last couple of days. I have to say, these juices have really come together with a couple-week steep, and I'm thoroughly impressed with them. At first taste right out of the mail, they seemed like quality NETs, but I could detect the individual varietals that weren't quite meshing at the time. My, how that has changed. All the ones I've tried have now steeped into harmonious blends that I'm having a hard time putting down. Let me dive in. CowBoy. At first taste, I definitely got Burley more than the Virginia that's also in it. Now, it has steeped into a perfect analog blend where the two have combined to exceed the sum of their parts. It's extremely smooth and rich.
If I had to compare it to other juices, I'd have to say it's most similar to QnJ Analog Red or Big Spirit, but with more smooth tobacco earthiness, if that makes sense. This juice is a solid, tasty analog replacement. Turkish. This is probably my favorite of the sample pack. At first, I could detect the Virginia, but now the Oriental is really shining through. This is a great Turkish blend with a delicious, toasty, sun-cured flavor. It has surpassed Smug Juice Hump as my go-to Turkish, since it is less sweet, and even rivals (but not quite exceeds) NETcom Sun-Cured Turkish as my favorite Turkish that I've tried so far. This stuff is Turkish bliss. English. I thought this one might be a throwaway, since I'm not the biggest fan of most English blends, but boy was I wrong. The site describes this one as "a natural tobacco extracted flavor using a Bright Virginia extract. Sweet, mild and tasty." I usually get bored of just Virginia pretty quickly, but I have never had a straight Virginia with as much depth as this one. It definitely has predominantly higher notes compared to CowBoy and Turkish, but it is deeply satisfying in its own way nonetheless.

The only one from the sample pack that I haven't tried at all yet is CowBoy Menthol. I assume this one is going to be a throwaway, but I'm waiting until some of the menthol hopefully steeps off and it might become vapeable. Worst case scenario, I'll save it for an occasional winter vape (the only time I used to have an occasional Newport analog). All in all, these Real Extract juices are quality, no-nonsense, straight-up tobacco NETs with no added sweeteners or flavors that really do justice to the tobaccos they came from. Good right out of the mail, but with a good steep, they've transformed into glorious blends that I can't put down. They are also surprisingly gentle on coils and appear pretty clear and well-filtered.

Real Extracts is quality juice with the potential to be a heavy hitter. I'm a fan already, and these juices have made me very happy the last couple of days. I just wish they would lower their prices. Dusty, would you mind adding them to the New NET Vendors list on the first page? Thanks.

Realextracts.com has the best extracts I've tried.
Received a couple of sample packs from them some time ago, and their juice is the best I've had.
The tobacco flavors are spot-on, get Turkish if you like camels (I used to smoke camel filters, and started out with camel lights).
If I hadn't already been vaping for six months, the Turkish flavor could have made my transition easier. I'm also big on tea, so their Jasmine and Earl Grey flavors really struck a chord.
Apparently they never add sweetener, and never use artificial flavors. I'm not big into the whole artificial/natural product debate, but it's nice having the whole spectrum of what nature has to offer. They're also pretty clear liquids, which is something that I look for in a juice--it's easier on the wick and coils. FYI, I'm not affiliated with the company at all. I just bought their juice, and want to recommend their product. I just re-read my post, and it seems like a raving review... but I have no personal interest. Vape on! You can do eeeeeet!
