I have spent a small fortune on samples in just over a month, so I have to slow down...my question is which of these vendors have the over all better juice? I like sweet flavors that don't have the perfume taste, I have tried many that still taste like perfume after steeping... I would so appreciate some suggestions :)

I just ordered a bunch of KBV. However, I ordered them in a lower nic than what we currently use so that they have time to steep before we get around to using them. I also ordered some samples from AiV. They haven't arrived yet. HHV is definitely on the list. I am just having trouble justifying all of my yummy juice purchases since we only started vaping 2 weeks ago.

I currently have 30 bottles from Mom and Pop Vapor Shop. They also haven't had time to properly steep, but we are already using them. I would give a review, but we don't have much experience...so nothing really to compare them with. I can say that the taste is much cleaner than our local vendor. It doesn't leave a filmy aftertaste in your mouth. No perfume taste either.

I am curious to see what others have to say in regards to this post. I want to try these vendors as well. I just had to go with the one that offered a big discount on first time orders. Maybe, if we are lucky, AiV and HHV will offer a nice holiday discount. However, due to their popularity, I'm sure they don't need it to draw in business. So...until a nice discount code comes along, I will have to settle for what I have.

HHV is now my vendor of choice. I lucked out and found them fairly early in my sampling stage. To be honest, I have not tried any of the others on your list so I can't compare HHV to them. There are definitely more higher quality vendors out there now, so you should have better luck hitting a good product early in the process.

Wanda, I can honestly say that none of HHV's juices that I've tried has had any perfumy or soapy taste to them. I've tried 12 of their juices. I didn't like every single one, and I like some more than others. But NONE of them were yukky juices.

I've been meaning to try AIV because they get a lot of rave reviews. But I've got a lot of juice that needs to be vaped and I need to re-stock my HHV supply. One of these days I'm going to place an order with AIV.

Another vendor I'm hearing a lot of good stuff about is Ahlusion. They're on my "must try" list too.

Pappy, I am hearing the same thing about Alusion...So many good juice vendors to try..what are your favorites from HHV?

I'm pretty new to HHV. My favorites so far are Heavenly Tobacco, Dragon's Fire and Georgia Peach Tobacco.

If you're looking for sweets, check out the HHV Tobacco thread here or post a message asking for recommendations. Even though the thread title is "tobacco", it's just a general HHV thread about all their juices.

You could also check out their thread on the Supplier's subforum here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/e-cigarette-suppliers-forum/273867-heathers-heavenly-vapes-top-quality-custom-e-liquids.html

I haven't tried KBV, but I have ordered from both HHV and AiV. Wonderful experiences with both of them, but most of my orders come from HHV. A few juices are similar: Mandalime AiV works for HHV's Parrothead (PH being sweeter), Black and White Cookie, similar to Tuscan Cocoa. HTH a little.

AiV packaging is absolutely charming. Both great customer service.

Thank you, Pappy! I love peach so the Georgia Tobacco peach sounds yum! I will give it a try!

MostlySunny, The Tuscan cocoa sounds wonderful...is it a sweet cocoa flavor? I have tried a few chocolates and they all tasted like black coffee or had a burnt taste, with LITTLE sweetness.

I'd recommend Shadowfax from HHV, as long as you're sampling.

I have 30 mils in the mail coming to me :) (BTW, that shows the kind of confidence us HHV fanatics have in them, 30 mils is a sample size for many of us).

I have tried about 7-8 vendors so far, but neither AIV or KBV (I'm not even sure who KBV is?) so unfortunately I can't give you the comparison your looking for. I will say, HHV is the only vendor that I've placed multiple re-orders with. I've also never thrown away a single bottle from them. Even if it wasn't my cup of tea flavor wise, it's all vapeable.

My personal suggestion would be to try and go for some sample packs from various vendors. Try to avoid spending $100 with a vendor when you have no idea if you'll like their juice. We all waste a little money early on trying various flavors and vendors, so try to keep it to a minimum by ordering small first.

I wouldn't call it sweet, but not burnt or coffee tasting. Maybe more like a gourmet hot cocoa. It's nice.

Good luck!

I've tried all three of the vendors you're asking about and I now only order from AiV and Ahlusion. KBV was alright, but didn't "wow" me and HHV I just didn't like. I was very excited about their blackberry and watermelon flavors but they ended up tasting like blackberry-bubblegum and watermelon-bubblegum. Their waffle flavor was yum but gave me a huge stomachache :blink: I'm not a tobacco vaper but a lot of folks seem to love HHV tobacco line. Anyhoo, I don't think you can go wrong with AiV and Ahlusion... Both have the best customer service in the business and amazing flavors.

Wonderland, every time I check Alusion...it says "closed for the day" any idea of a good time to check them out? I seem to have lost my taste buds for tobacco and now I like the sweet vapes much better...any suggestions from AIV and Alusion? I love a sweet latte or cappuccino flavor but so far only one that was great, Hellavapors whole latte love. I love a good caramel and fruits too...not much for mint or menthol.

VERY cute :) They have some cool things....just wish they carried clearo's :( would save me an extra order when buying from them.

I've mentioned this to them. They need to carry ViVi (mini) Nova tanks! I love AiV, their Crunkberry is my favorite vape of the over 18 different flavors I've tried from a few different vendors. I also like their Lemon Loves Cake ... but I have a hard time getting a consistant flavor from it as it's a very dark liquid. While I don't like either chocolate or cookies I've been keeping their B&W Cookie in my full size ViVi Nova for my main vape. Love it.

HHV and Ahlusions are my next purchases, but AiV is my top vendor currently (I really want to try their new flavor too).
