I've tried, so far, 10ml samplers of Havana #1, PA Oscuro, Connecticut Shade Leaf, Nicaragua #1 & Sumatra. They're all excellent & distinctive, and this is coming from a formerly cigar non-aficionado. The Sumatra is my newest fave. Beautifully realized.

A joy to experience the elegance of my first cigar leaf vaping elixir: Havana #1. Has opened the door (& my nose & taste buds) to a whole new palette of tobacco extract juice possibilities.

As far as tobacco extracts go, there are only 2 that i know of in Australian suppliers. El toro and Black note. Today i had my first vape on blacknote since discovering your stuff. Honestly i tipped it out after half a tank. I nearly died of boredom. El Toro was OK but not even close to the ones you make. That Colombian was just amazing. So floral! I love them all but apart from the Turkish, the cigars have my vote.

I've sampled a few of the The RTE liquids now. They are clean. I've started to get used to gunky and flat two dimensional tasting liquids of late from our favorite vendors who must have felt the pinch of dropping demand after the deeming regs ravaged the NET industry along with the changing landscape of vaping with the proliferation of sub ohm vaping. Pure speculation on my behalf.
However Evan has stuck true to the passion for NETs and his customer service and product has all the hallmarks of a enthusiastic vendor starting out with a young enterprise.

Initially when trying the Havana #2 I detected what appeared to be the taste of coil 'hot legs' or hot spots , which was common when rebuildables first started when hot spots were a common thing. It wasn't unpleasant like a bad hot spot but I can be fastidious about coils heating unevenly. I actually rebuilt some coils thinking I had hot spots until I realized that I wasn't getting hot spots and that it was how the juice tasted. Once I identified the flavor of the juice I realized that what I was confusing with minor hotspots was a clean, crisp, dry cigar taste with no sweetness. From there it was all love. This is how a cigar maceration is supposed to taste.

I've also sampled the PA Oscura Maduro and that Ecuadorian Shade. Both pack a punch. The PA Oscura has chocolate notes with a solid cigary dry woodiness and Earth.

The Ecuadorian Shade is bang on a Shade. I do like a good Shade Tobacco and it's mellow low key leafiness. I really enjoyed Goodejuice's Shade Tobacco which was a bit sweety. The RTE Ecuadorian Shade is drier and more ashy but still a clean filtered liquid.

There is real clarity in RTE's juices. They achieve a good balance between flavor and cleanliness. I've gone through 4mls of the Havana #2 n the G T 3 and I've still got what tastes like a clean coil.

I think Evan has ensured that he doesn't veer into the efficient high turnover production of warm maceration and stuck with the more patient cold maceration method which is why there is a cleaner flavor with greater clarity in the juices.

Evan maintains that he uses a 2-3 month cold Mac method and filters the juices twice or three times at 3-5 microns if I am not mistaken. (Evan note: Actually the maceration time is 4-18 months and the filtration level is 1.0 - 2.7 microns)

I am also enjoying the throat hit from the nicotine which is crisp and fresh tasting.(Evan note #2: No Indian or Chinese nicotine is used in RTE. We only use the highest quality Chemnovatic nicotine from the EU)

The price is on the expensive side but vaping these juices at 12mg gives me plenty of mileage and at the end of the day, vaping a 3mg juice at 100 watts at $15 a bottle is no more affordable than vaping a 12mg juice at $30 for a 30 ml bottle.

Havana #2
This is delightful extract. It has medium to full flavor that has a light sweetness on the inhale that reminds me of a Maduro wrapper and just a hint of pepper on the retro-hale through the sinus much like a medium bodied Cuban would. Originally I tried this in a small atomizer that is pocket sized and it didn't do justice to this elixir. In a better vaporizer the flavor and tobacco resonate with each draw. I'm having trouble putting it down its so good.

WOW! Really really good, I forgot how much I really missed my Havana. Very tasty indeed!

A fine product...



Cowboy, English, Perique - These folks are clearly tobacco connoisseurs and they make a fine product. This was a wake up call for my old burned out taste buds and this stuff is a pleasure to vape.

Nicaragua #1 - "robust"? Yes... "earthy"? Yes.



I'm no cigar connoisseur, but I know Nicaraguan tobacco has become highly regarded both for wrappers and fillers.... I like cigars with "wallop" so I was anticipating this with a positive attitude...



For this review, I coiled and wicked my new Rocket Science Mods Hybrid 18350 Dripper...



The liquid is a strong gold colour and, as expected, clear. The liquid has a definite and individual "cigar" smell.



When vaped the desired "wallop" was there in spades - "robust"? Yes... "earthy"? Yes... I got leather and spice too and quite a strong "high cocoa" black chocolate too.



The robust flavours seem to enhance the nicotine hit and the throat hit is distinctly cigar too. Vapour production is good and biased to the inhale. The vapours odour has cigar as well, but has drawn comment from others.



I'm really enjoying this one - it will be accompanying me to the pub later to enjoy with a nice IPA...

Sumatra Tusker



The Sumatra is clear light and almost chartreuse colored. The flavor is beyond description - but I will try...

It is ethereal, woody, resinous a little sweet but not really. It is just divine. You have a winner here.

Havana #1



Wow Wow Wow. This is the best NET I have ever tried. Much better denser flavor than Black Note. Stunning in fact. Very very good.
