Best gourmet ejuice vendors #2 - The journey continues!

[Skeebo]

First HHV order, amazingly fast shipping too. The description said ships in 5-7 days and I received in 3.

Steeping suggestions appreciated, although I would like to not wait for months.. View attachment 462427

Hmm nice starter package on the HHV line.

I can only speak on Legend, Pirates Booty, and Shadow.

Shadow is good fresh, gets better as it steeps.

Pirates Booty, changes so much as it steeps. It starts off as almost a Chocolate Tea flavor, and as the weeks go by takes on a spicy note and becomes slightly cigar like.

Legend, becomes really good after a long steep.

I've heard nothing but good things about that Caramel Apple.

I'm going to make a fresh build and fill up the tank with the caramel apple tobacco now...

I just love new liquid vape mail, and I have hopes of HHV as its a great price. I ordered a few items from Black Notes, hasn't arrived yet, but twice the cost.

I have been vaping Caramel Apple Tobacco for a number of days now. Dive into this one Fresh now if you like.

It's good. I wouldn't say harsh, but def has a TH. I'll lower my coil to the air hole next re wick to see if it smooths it out a tiny bit. Flavor is very good for me, not too sweet and not too strong, and I chain to get more if it..so it's subtle and I won't get tired of it. I get a very nice unsweetened tobacco exhale with tobacco aftertaste even. Awesome.

Lets see if you get bored with it.

This was your problem with new juices wasn't it?

I cracked open a 100 ML of the Caramel Apple Tobacco the other day 6 Month steeped. This is the first time that I have tried 6 Month steeped CAT. The scent that wafted to my nostrils when I cracked that Bottle, I thought that I had died and gone to heaven. I have been chain vaping this for days now.

It's not that I get bored, it's the taste becomes overwhelming. Many juices I really really like initially, by end of day I'm sick of it. I like very subtle flavors, I can do a heavy vanilla but no other I've found. This one may get that way too with the caramel, but so far so good and the Apple is fine. I'm actually going to steep the others for atleast 48 hours, try to hold out for longer.

I forgot to mention what all I bought

Cuttwood's Boss Reserve
5 Pawns Gambit & Bowden's Mate
Cosmic Fog Milk and Honey
Charlie Nobles Tripoli

and then some old favorites I haven't had in a while from NLV : Gold, Bounty Hunter, and NLV4ya.

 

[chanelvaps]

That's what I'll do, although I don't think I'll order again. Too much steeping and I find plenty of liquids just fine foob.

Just fine, yes there are plenty that are just fine. The mass marketed juice market has much that is 'good to go'. HHV and the long steep does have a following and you might find 'exquisite' instead of 'just fine'. If you do then you can plan ahead next time. I was actually joking when I said 8 weeks but most NETS do take at least 4

Me tooooooooo!

Been wanting to try Brassberry Mint from dbliquids (couple of the PoH guys swear by it). Ordered 120 ml at a remarkable $ 29.74.

Keep up the good work fireply. Thanx!!

I have been happy with the DBLiquids I have, I waited so long to try them!

I hope I like AHL just criminal too. Although I've been mainly into fruity stuff for a long time now.

any suggestions for a good strong fruit flavor? Like a blackberry, lime, acai, guava, or a really sweet desert vape? I'm craving sweet vapes too.

Others here like a different peach than me. My fav is Lushinton from Stash-eliquid. The sweet, also fruity, I used to like we're from Pink Spot (Lemon or Lime Drop, Black Mamba, and others). Virgin Vapor also carried some delicious fruits. I have moved away from both vendors for the purity of Stash's liquids. Also worth a try is the sample pack from LabRat.

Let me not forget: My Sweet One – Stash e-Liquids

Highly anticipating my Sleeping Dragon Vapor order today or sometime this week.

My order went from Chicago to Dubai and then to Australia.

How to steep juices by sending them around the world.

Wholeheartedly agree there. I chased flavors for a long time and still buy into the hype sometimes but really have gotten myself to a place where I have about 10 that I can always vape and that is what it has become about. GOOD ENOUGH to keep me off cigs. Try that MR Vapes RY4. Holy Moly GOOD

'Good enough to keep me off cigs'.

The holy grail and the reason we are all here, yet can often overlook in our desire to chase that next great juice or accessory.

Actually, you chose 3 of my favs so well done.

HHV requirement; Upon receipt take the Caps and Bottle Nipples off for 12 - 48 Hours to breathe. AnthonyB stated 12 Hours, and others have stated 24 - 48 Hours.

Fill us in if you like the flavor profile after caps off. If you like the flavor fresh then you should buy more to let them steep for a good period of time.

I used to love HHV juices. Pirates Booty, Legend, Dragons Fire, Serendipity and Huntsman were my favorites. But in the 3 years I've Vaped HHV, their liquids, specifically the NETs have changed dramatically.

It's not that the flavor profile has changed, it is more accurate to say the flavour has diminished.

I persevered with a few orders over the last year hoping whatever magic used to be in their NETs returned. In my last order I ordered only Pirates Booty and Legend in one last ditch final effort and expense to chase the magic of those juices in their glory years. Still not the same, not even close.

The fact that users find that a 6 month steep brings the juice to its maximum goodness speaks volumes. It indicates that the NET juices nowadays are about the tobacco maturation and not the flavours infused. Infused flavoring Vapes best after about 3 weeks and starts to diminish at 6 months whereas juices that are more About the tobacco base take longer to mature to draw out the flavour of the tobacco. In the golden heady days of HHV it was often best to vape the juices before 6 months because the flavoring which made their NETs so special would start to fade with time.

I've closed my book on HHV. Had I not experienced those juices the way they used to taste in the years that made HHV one of the most popular vendors on the market, I might thing they are fairly decent tasting juices in their current form. But I've been spoilt for how they used to taste.

The only tobacco flavor I'm familiar with that gets raving reviews from everybody is Patriot tobacco from Goodejuice. Could be worth looking up just to see what everybody has said about it.

With good reason. Goodejuice is one of the best NET vendors out their and their recipe and flavor profile have remained consistent for years.

If NET juices were people, Patriot would be a god amongst them.

They're a 10 minute drive from me!

Catalyst Elixir Morpheus today, first time trying the brand, and a blueberry tobacco. It's very smooth, vaping it foob. I could hardly tell the blueberry taste initially, but throughout the day its a lot more obvious. The smell is more bb than the flavor. Throat hit is slight, smooth as silk. 30/70 vg heavy, so good vapor too.

DJ- would serendipity be good FOOB for her? As I'm sure your recommendations are fantastic, I'd like to get her going sooner rather than later.

Chanel- cinnamon helped me kick cigs too! I was going to get some GCD from nicoticket for her as well.

My bet is on the following NETs:

Goodejuice - patriot, wild turkey, organic tobacco
Ethervapes - gold leaf, top leaf, confederate
Naturally-Extracted-Tobacco.com - *big spirit *, NS brown, sun cured Turkish, 7th cut, and many others.

If maintenance with gunking is a problem then I recommends the NETs at MyVapeJuice. The cigars and pipes are good. The nicaro sun grown, gurka and the 5 cask series are good cigars. The sutliff, home and hearths and captain black are good pipe options.

If she is serious about quitting cigarettes and she needs satisfying NET analog flavours, these should do the trick.

So glad I'm not alone with HHV. Finally almost 2 yrs of vaping decided to give them a try (all tobaccos), sorry HHV lovers but yuck. All 4-5 I tried had the same base tone to it...honey overload and didn't like them at all!

Agree here too. Someone was kind enough to PIF me some Organic Tobacco to try and I can't stop thinking about it. Need to order more. And Patriot was good too.

@AngiBe !! Blueberry tobacco!

oh boy .. Thanks for the heads up! But do I want to try yet ANOTHER blueberry tobacco???? The anticipation, then the let down is so traumatic. Decisions, decisions.
