Just tried Triphammers Puros Santa Clara, very nice juice but not getting the full tobacco flavour I get from HOL Perique and Reserve. I will let it steep for another week and try it again. I think I will order some more though it's very nice.

Hi Tmax Yep she's PID'ed. I've had Miss Slivia (Rocky is the matching grinder, I used to have that but changed to he Mazzer Jolly you see in the pic) for about 10 years, some 3 years ago I was going to upgrade, but the cost of something better put me off. I decided to overhaul Miss Silva and changed the steam wand and replaced the pressure valve. I was going to get an Auber inst' PID that controlled both boiler and steam temp, as well as the option of a pre-infuse. The Watlow PID only controls the boiler temp but came up secondhand for a good price so went for that. The mods made a great improvement. Miss Silvia has performed flawlessly and kept me satisfied in all the time shes been mine. Great machine. Of course - thought I was wrong when I typed Rocky !!!! I used to do a bit of home roasting (Hottop) - but just buy in now - too busy. I have a Brugnetti 2 group and the same Mazzer as u. Tried tinctures with fresh roasted beans, but it all oxidised way too quickly to be used in vaping.

Really depends on your setup - gennies/mesh these days I don't have the patience with but Snake Oil is different on them. I always preferred silica as it gives a rounded vape in my opinion, but I think it depends on so many other factors. Right now I've just re-cottoned a Taifun and vaping GVC - First puff and I was straight back to a romantic weekend in Amsterdam for my 50th in March last year, where the wind bit cold and Grants vaped like a train on an AGA-T2 with a dual silica wick !!! I think Snake Oil is better on silica and cotton - I always preferred mesh for my Halo Prime15 or HOL Cheers T

Just had a look at HOLs site and it seems a bit pricey. How much does shipping to UK work out at if you're below the free shipping order?
Ps (off topic) I noticed grant's custard site is out of stock. Anyone know any details?

Grizwalds Gourmet Tobacco range is over £25 for 60ml so more expensive than HoL.
They ship from UK for less then £3

Lovely machine, that's the sort of jump I was planning but even something like that secondhand is a big outlay. It's all in the grind imo, best to have a reasonable machine and spend out on a top quality grinder. The Mazzers are built like tanks, come up on ebay often and if new are burrs are fitted will last a lifetime. Never roasted but have been tempted, like you it's the time. I have other hobbies that require that as well real life.

Very reasonable in my opinion.

And heres me with a fresh 50ml back up lol Backup is good !!! Flavours don't really change or disappear - but they are a little different. Tastes somehow cleaner on mesh, but if you get a little hotspot then yuk!!! Assuming you are gonna use a gennie - then dry tank - wick and coil - sort out hotspots. Then lube up the coil and take a vape or two. This way you can decide before filling your tank. T

The Reserve is gorgeous , it's smoky, rich , you can taste the brandy , I reckon you will like it. It's not overly cigarish, just right .
