Best gourmet ejuice vendors #2 - The journey continues!

[chanelvaps]

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.

Jrenae4-I have some NETS I can send, they are 12-18mg and not for me. Little sample bottles. I can also send a sample bottle of MOV-PM me your addy

I just got another SDV order and samples of the last four I have not tried before.

Kudzu-cucumber/honeysuckle

Spunkberry-strawberry custard

Sgt. Berry - fruity ceramic

Caesar's Ghost-turkish tobacco NET with fig and honey.

So far I've tried CG. I really like the other two NETs...Capt. Stash and Blue Bacco. This one is wonderful too. Leaves an intense fragrance in the room.

Capt Stash is my favorite of the three.

I'll report back on the 3 non-tobacco flavors as I try them.

I have blown through 1/2 of my bottle of Sicboy MBYC (what DOES that stand for anyway) and love it. Am now contemplating the other flavors, possibly Deviant. Have not found a cherry done right yet though so kind of timid

 

[chanelvaps]

Giant Vapes has got ZVR's Lemon Cheesecake. Has been on my wishlist for over a year.

If you're thinking of a new subohm tank, I have to say the Maganus is awesome! Terrific flavor and nickel coils are supposed to be available for it soon so you'd be able to use it on temp control devices too.


Mia, I love your pic! Very nice collection there! But woodies really aren't that much trouble...I have 2 and I have to say they are my favorite Reos...especially the new one from this years run...I will agree they are pricey, but they're tough and well to me just beautiful! However, any Reo is a great one to have!

I agree.

I have both the Herakles and the Maganus and prefer the Maganus (also called Starre).

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.

Brother, I'm right there with you.

There really is no tobacco presence in their NET lineup, which being an NET you'd think the tobacco would be a little more forward. I liked HHV initially, however, I think as my taste buds came back they became boring.

In HHV's defense, I never tried any of their other flavors outside of the NET category.

 

[AnthonyB]

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!

Yeah, they all taste more or less the same now. A slight whiff of coffee in Pirates Booty, a mere bite on the end with Huntsman, some chocolate in there somewhere with Legend.

That base tobacco is cavendish. It used to be the base by which to carry the amazing array of desserty flavors, now it's the juice. That is why a good long steep is necessary- to mature the tobacco, because the flavorings which made HHV what it was are just absent. I can barely tell Legend, Serendipity and Pirates Booty apart anymore.

Pirates booty used to be a sweet devilish and eclectic blend of complex flavours of confectionary, some banana and other notes one couldn't quite put their finger on.

Legend was something truly magnificent tasting like sweet prunes, plum and berries in a heavenly other worldly taste experience. In its day Legend was the single most popular liquid on the market.

Yeah, the tobacco was never intended to stand up on its own. It was meant to be a base to carry other flavors.

Also in their defense their non-Nets are still good. I particularly like the strawberry lemonade.

AnthonyB, as always I enjoy reading your informative Posts. This time it is my turn to respond while on a Train [emoji3]

Your post made me slightly sad. Sad that you closed the book on HHV, and sad that I did not get to experience them in their very on years. You could say that I am an in betweener by looking at my banner with HHV.

I am still very smitten with HHV juices.. You have also listed many of my favorites. I am hoping that I did not imply they need a 6 Month Steep. This is what I am doing by transferring them to Glass Bottles.

I am also sad that I am prepared to stand alone in this Thread with my HHV juice in hand.

They are good enough for me but I liked your comments anyways.

Folks. I don't know if I've ever talked about one of my favorites.

Atty Lube

Really known for their awesome Butterscotch but all the flavors I've tried are amazing.

My favorite is Syllabub.

They just released a new flavor called Juzi and in honor of that they are selling all 120mls for $40 instead of $65.

@DJLEC respect to your HHV opinion. One thing I've learned elsewhere in the forum, like you here, is that I don't need others to vindicate what I like. Mods, tanks, juices, etc. I'm just glad there is so much diversity, and I fear this is the golden age of vaping once legislation starts regulating.

For me, HHV is still very new...not even steeped properly. The tobaccos all have a thick and rich base flavor, so most likely not an adv for me. I still like them, and appreciate them though. Who knows, maybe after a month steeping I will like them even more as you do.

For now, I know that I know I can grab VTC, Tribeca, Jefe, or Eight Bells and get my perfect vape until the tanks dry. I'll keep trying to find others, because it's fun for me.

 

[Mtek]

I'll try it, i know some of your favs are some of mine as well. Thx for the info and deal.

Give deviant a try, the cherry flavor is really good with no "cough syrup " flavor. It's the third one from them I've tried and the one I like best.

I have blown through 1/2 of my bottle of Sicboy MBYC (what DOES that stand for anyway) and love it. Am now contemplating the other flavors, possibly Deviant. Have not found a cherry done right yet though so kind of timid

Oh YAY! Thanks dmska. What was the other you tried?

 

[dmska]

Mbyc and sicker than most.

Excellent post !

Often times vapers taste and preferences change, and no two people taste something exactly the same way. As we can see by how Anthony, Skeebo, Angie and Anthony who either don't care for HHV any more or never did to begin with, have very different reasons. Anthony thinks the non-tobacco flavorings are weaker than they used to be and others think there is too much. No one is right or wrong.

I haven't noticed a drastic change in the two years i've been vaping HHV but that's just me and my opinion is no more or less valid than anyone elses. When i'm in the mood, i still enjoy HHV juices tremendously although my favorites have changed over time and i'm not convinced it's because the juices have changed drastically ( but i could be wrong ! ).

I enjoy reading this thread because i enjoy reading different points of view, not because i expect to find my favorite juices ( although i have found a few ). TPR, Nicoticket and Ahlusion are some of the favorite vendors on this thread and i happen to only like Ahl from the bunch ( and only their teas really and a couple of their " tobaccos". And that's perfectly fine. But I had been buying MOV tobacco's for a long time and it wasn't
until Chanel recommended their other juices that i even tried them and now they are one of my favs. There are other juices i tried based on recommendations here that worked as well ( Alboroya from SDV comes to mind ).

 

[BababooeyHTJ]

Sometimes different juices taste better on certain devices. For instance Charlie nobile tripoli. I love it in my kayfun but in a dripper I'm not a fan. Pinup Marilyn I feel the opposite about...

I think there are a few other HHV fans around. Always good to stand alone in the masses anyway!

I ordered Atty Lube Syllabub today at 3:43 and got shipping notification at 5:23

I've tried both MBYC and Deviant, and bought more of each! Deviant is amazing. Best cherry cobbler/vanilla ice cream I ever tasted. Wish Ahl made cherry this good.
