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!

Jasmine - This is the best e-liquid

Just got my order today and loaded up the Jasmine Tea 18mg. I have tried so many E-Liquids of mostly what was suppose to be tobacco flavors and they all fail in that department, so I decided to try some real extract tobacco and tea liquids from your company. So far I have loaded up the Jasmine tea and I must say that this is the best E-Liquid I have ever had. This is some top quality liquid. So many people say that about the crap they load up and vape and either it's all they know because they haven't had better or they are not a real smoker. Brew a cup of Jasmine tea of some high quality Asian tea, not grocery store brand and brew it perfectly and take a sip. That is what this liquid taste like 100%. I was not expecting this flavor to be so spot on and it was nailed perfectly. It's a perfect compliment for a smoker that wants the taste of a real cigarette with a touch of great flavor. I hope the others are just as good, but for right now, I know I will not be trying any other brands because it just doesn't get any better then this.



You nailed the mixture perfectly. Keep that one going. Hopefully the other flavors are just as good. If they are all this high in flavor quality, you can put a lot of vapor liquid makers out of business if the word gets around to enough people. I think most people who vape a different product only do because they don't know any different. I tried about 80 or more different flavors and brands and they all have pretty much the same chemical taste.

This tea flavor you guys make is in a class of it's own and is straight up vaping quality tea. 8/29/2014

Real Extracts JasmineTea Review

Just got my order today and loaded up the Jasmine Tea 18mg. I have tried so many E-Liquids of mostly what was suppose to be tobacco flavors and they all fail in that department, so I decided to try some real extract tobacco and tea liquids from Real Extracts, LLC based in Seattle, Wa.

So many people say that about the crap they load up and vape and either it's all they know because they haven't had better or they are not a real smoker. It needs to be tobacco extract or it's just not what it's claiming to be for tobacco and Tea.

Brew a cup of Jasmine tea of some high quality Asian tea, not grocery store brand and brew it perfectly and take a sip. That is what this liquid taste like 100%. I was not expecting this flavor to be so spot on and it was nailed perfectly.

Jasmine Tea 18mg
Great throat hit.
I usually vape 24mg, but this 18mg has the same throat hit, but a tiny bit more smooth. I think it just feels smoother because it's a tea blend. With the flavor to throat hit, it compliments each other so well, it just has a better feel to it.

Vapor is perfect. 70PG/30VG It's actually pretty big. Good throat hit with big vapor, what more could you want? Also,my mouth is not feeling dried out like it usually does with synthetic flavors. Maybe it's the quality of VG and PG that is used? Not sure, but I like it.

Flavor it perfection. When you get a flavor that says Jasmine Tea, you want Jasmine tea and not just someones poor attempt at replicating it. This is High quality jasmine Tea, not just some cheap cup you brewed yourself from a $3 box from the grocery store.
This is what vapor flavor is suppose to be. The VG makes it just a tiny touch sweet. A cup of Tea with maybe a half a spoonful or less it how sweet this flavor is. The sweetness is so little, some might even say it is not sweet. No sweeteners have been added to this product.

I think it just perfect for a real cigarette replacement with a touch of great flavor.

Name: Cowboy Menthol
Brand: Real Extracts


Description: CowBoy Menthol is the same classic blend of American tobaccos with the addition of a light cool menthol. The menthol is mid level strength - most similar to a Salem as opposed to a Newport. The tobacco is still dominant with the mint in the background. It is not an "in your face" menthol. It is a soft refreshing subtle mint flavor - almost an aftertaste.
Where to Find It: Cowboy Menthol

A note before we begin: Cowboy Menthol is a 70PG/30VG juice. Since this is a high PG blend, I decided to test it in my Nautilus Mini instead of the SubTank Nano I used for my last review. It seems unfair to use a tank designed for high VG juice when reviewing one with high PG, as it will inherently create less vapor and stronger throat hits than a high VG juice would. I'm also using my Sigelei-100W for this review, because my iStick has a short. I've been using it at around 11-15W, and I've found that my sweet spot is around 12W with the 1.8 ohm coils.

Flavor: Cowboy Menthol is, in a word, spectacular. The flavor is spot-on, exactly as you would expect from a menthol cigarette e-liquid. The menthol is definitely the predominant flavor, and it is the first thing I noticed when I tasted this juice, but it's not overpowering. I can definitely make out the tobacco undertones throughout. On the inhale, it tastes similar to breathing in with a mint in your mouth, a nice strong peppermint flavor with very subtle hints of tobacco. The tobacco comes out a bit more upon exhaling, but it leaft me with a fresh minty aftertaste. It's extrememly close to the taste of an actual menthol cigarette, except without the ashy flavor. More like a combination of the smell of a cigarette, with the taste of a peppermint. This is by far my favorite menthol e-liquid out of the scores that I've tried. I gave it 4/5 simply because the description said it would be mostly tobacco with a lighter mint flavor, but honestly I'm very glad that the description was wrong, because this is absolutely perfect the way it is.

Vapor: The vapor production of this juice actually surprised me. It created bigger clouds than I was expecting from my mouth-to-lung hits on my Nautilus Mini. The last time I tried a menthol tobacco juice, I was using a ProTank 2 on an MVP 2.0, which might contribute to my somewhat negative stigma toward higher PG blends. In the rating below, I use an objective rating system with vapor production ranging from cigalikes to cloud chasers, so 4/5 is actually very high considering this is in a clearomizer.

Throat Hit: The throat hit on this juice was absolutely perfect in my opinion. It was a bit smoother than an actual menthol cigarette, and I think the menthol really helped to make it even smoother than you might expect.

Nicotine Strength: As stated in my previous review, 12mg seems to be my sweet spot for this brand of juice. Just enough hit to feel nice, but not enough to make me feel light-headed. If you're a smoker trying to quit, you might want to get the 18mg since 12mg feels a bit weaker than cigarettes, but for someone like me, regularly using 3-6mg in an RDA, the 12mg is perfect.

Viscosity: This is a very thin juice, as are all that I've seen from Real Extracts. The reason for this is simple: these juices are all about flavor, cloud chasing be damned. Though I usually much prefer high VG juice, this was actually a nice break from the clouds. It feels a lot more like smoking an analog cigarette, which in this case is a very good thing. Every now and then I still crave a cigarette, and now I have a juice that will satisfy that craving.

Other Notes: Overall, Cowboy Menthol is one of my new favorite juices. I received this juice as a free sample from Evan at Real Extracts for review, and to be honest I doubt if I would have bought it due to its relatively high price tag compared to my usual all-day juice. But after tasting it, I can tell this is a very high quality premium e-liquid and I will definitely be ordering more when I run out. I usually switch back to my usual Custard after I finish writing a review of a new juice, but I'm still vaping this as I write and I have a feeling it's going to be hard to put this down and test the next juice for review. If you like menthol cigarettes, or just minty juice in general, I highly recommend you try this one out.

Ratings:
Flavor: 4/5
Vapor: 4/5
Throat Hit: 5/5
Overall: 13/15 - 87%

Real Extract Vaping Elixirs

I will admit that my taste buds are pretty much decensitised by smoking but the chemical tobacco flavours just werent doing it for me, I was still having to have a ciggy, but I was down to 2 packs a week, not a day. The juices I have so far are all 24 mg nicotine in various flavours, I usually order 3 tobacco flavours and a few other flavours, my nicotone craving was being addressed but something was missing.
I saw a post by Evan from "Real Extracts" and had a look at what he was offering and made a purchase, odered 4 bottles and he was nice enough to send an extra bottle, and his special offer of a kanga tech mini pro 2.

Real Extracts "Cowboy"
Very much like smoking a rollie, a slightly sweet undertone to it, and definately could taste the tobacco

Real Extracts "English Classic Bright Virginia"
Similar to Cowboy but a bit drier, slight aftertaste you get from a marlboro red or a rothmans, very distinct tobacco flavour

"Real Extracts "Turkish"
This is the freebee he sent me and gee Im glad he did, a real tobacco flavour with that stong after taste, my favourite so far

After trying these three I havnt even looked at a ciggy, all three have a good tobacco flavour and I will be ordering more, still have a whisky and a blackberry to try, and the cost, somewhere between $3=$4 a day compared to $50 a day. Ordered on 27/8/2015, shipped on 28/8/2015 and arrived here 8/9/2015 but sat in Perth mail centre since 3/9/2015.

I am an ex 2 packs a day smoker for over 40 years, the main problem I have been having is getting that tobacco taste that I have been used to for so long...

Old Grandad, Black Prince, Blackberry - all in my preferred 24mg, plus essences of Burley and Red Virginia.
There was a generous free 'sample' in the box too - a full sized bottle of Virginia 3x essence.

The ready-to-vape juices are uniformly excellent and worth every cent. I've been testing them in my Naturevape Mini, 1.3 ohms on a Zvijer mech.

When I was a pipe smoker I was in love with spicy Red Virginia, although it was difficult to find many blends in Europe. I also enjoyed strong straight Burley flake. Old Grandad is a blend of those two and my does it hit the mark. A most satisfying and relaxing blend.

Black Prince is an Izmir Orient, Burley and Perique blend. Reminiscent of high end orient heavy cigarettes, very classy and complex.

Blackberry was my 'wildcard' in the order, based on Prof. Beard's review. And yes, it is a dark, vegetable berry taste with little sweetness on a tobacco base. Quite delicious!

Any reservations I had about NET juice being lower on flavour were unfounded. These all have flavour in spades.
