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 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. 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.
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.

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.

Day Forty Five with Real Tobacco Extracts
3 months ago I purchased my first e-cig on a whim and within days I cut my cigarette consumption by 60%. As I searched for tobacco flavored juices I found Real Tobacco Extracts and immediately ordered a sampler. The mass market tobacco flavors were not satisfying me. When that ordered arrived I was amazed at the real tobacco flavors. In the 2nd month I had my last cigarette. This morning, in a hotel room at 5:00 am, it's 20F, windchill in the teens, I'm nice and warm with my coffee enjoying The English elixir from Real Tobacco Extracts. It is miraculous how satisfying this vape is with coffee. It has a pleasant bright tobacco taste that is far better than the cigarette brand I smoked for 35 years. This marks day 45 that I have been smoke free and there is little doubt I would have made it this far without the amazing products from Evan. RTE has changed my life and Evans work stands alone in a market full of products that are not for those that truly enjoy tobacco!

The English is “spot on”. The Cowboy. . . well, it is what a real American Burley blend cigarette should taste like.

My first job was in a prominent tobacco store in the Washington DC area, and I stayed through my college years. I became an “expert” in tobacco and the blends; pipe tobacco, vicars, and of course the imported cigarettes. My fancy towards the imported cigarettes was Bright Virginia leaf - British to be precise: State Express in the tins, Three Castles, Senior Service, etc. I also fancied the Turkish Balkan Sobranie in the tin (10 to a tin), and I missed that flavor and taste experience for many years. I quit cigarettes because American cigarettes are quite absent of taste - they are nasty. I discovered this site quite by accident - and am quite impressed with the quality with which I am experiencing. With the proper vape set-up, I have been able to experience long lost friends without the tar and burning, and all other unpleasantries associated with traditional cigarettes. This is indeed impressive. The English is “spot on”. The Cowboy. . . well, it is what a real American Burley blend cigarette should taste like. Simply said, if you are still smoking burning cigarettes, this is indeed your “out” - without the tar and and harmful burning effects.

These products are quite remarkable. It is flavor . . . and it is remarkable.

No one who enjoys the cigarette should be “smoking” any longer after the arrival of Real Extract Vaping Elixirs . . no one. Please give this a try, but please use fresh wicks . . . enjoy."

Sampling Red Virginia this evening and I am yet again, amazed with vaping your tobacco extracts.

38 years smoking cigarettes, 2+ packs a day and hand made cigars for 15 years. I have used and enjoyed tobacco 80% of my life. When I purchased my cardomizer 18 days ago, it was curiosity more than a desire to reduce or even quit using tobacco. The first few days vaping with commercial e-juice was interesting and enjoyable, but void of the flavors of tobacco I have come to appreciate. Vaping appeared to be a fill-in, a novelty, a little variety for me but nothing more. Then I found Real Extracts online, explored your products and ordered your tobacco and cigar samplers. In the past 5 days I have sampled English, spent the past 3 days with Cowboy and Nicaragua #1 and moments ago started to sample Red Virginia. Amazing! Simply amazing tobacco flavors! I have cut my cigarette consumption by 60+% in the past 4 days. Each time I light a cigarette now, I end up disappointed with the experience. Your extracts taste like real tobacco and I am finding them more satisfying and much more pleasant than commercial cigarettes. For the first time in my adult life I can visualize not smoking cigarettes. I am amazed but not nearly as amazed as Kim, my wife of 31 years who never expected me to even discuss cutting back or quitting. Real Extracts really tastes like tobacco!

Your service is exceptional and I hope that you continue to produce the amazing, high quality products I received for a very long time. I intend to be a loyal and long term customer.
