First order from Heathers Heavenly Vapes, slight perfume taste is that normal???

[SpectorMax]

Ok, I just received my first order from HHV and some of the liquids have sort of a perfume taste is this the alcohol in the liquid? I read somewhere that they use it and I hope it goes away because they all taste pretty good. FYI the liquids are:

Pirates Booty
Huntsman
Legend
Dragons Fire
Dark horse

Looks like you ordered all tobacco flavors,,,much like my first HHV order back when I was on my great tobacco hunt in 2012. Anyway, my wife has used Dragons Fire as her main flavor with an occasional Pirates Booty for over a year. I no longer use tobacco flavors, so this is my wife's experience. She lets HHV flavors sit for at least 2 weeks, a month is even better. No special steeping method, just lets them age. They get noticeably darker and better flavor. Of course she orders 10 bottles at a time, so this is just normal. Hope that helps.

I just received some replacement HHV tobacco juices yesterday. The difference between the aged bottles on hand and the new bottles I just received is quite noticeable. The smell also changes in time. Pirates Booty and Dragons Fire will change from a clear/ tan to medium brown. Heavenly tobacco changes from clear/ yellowish to very orange.

Grimwald's right... they probably just need to steep for a few days to a few weeks. Tobacco flavors are notorious for needing some time to mature.

HHV uses alcohol to make their tobacco extracts. Small amounts of alcohol remain in the final blend. It is recommended you remove the cap and dripper for a day or two upon receipt. All the alcohol will evaporate. Steeping depends on the individual. Some like it right away, others will let it sit a month or more. Just depends on the individual. I suggest trying it once a week till it is dialed in for you. As an HHV NET aficionado, let me give you a piece of advice...vape it till you like it. Give each flavor at least 3mls before making any judgement. Spread it out over two or three days. It's just the way HHV is. Perfumey is an adjective rarely used when describing HHV tobaccos.

I also agree, let them steep. I use to order their heavenly tobacco all the time, loved it! But all tobacco's need time.

+1 to Bronze. I would say the same of any NET. I have some from all the big vendors...HHV,Ahl,GeJ,W2v,NT,QUICKNIC, VRiver, and more. They all get better with time. Some are at their best to me after 2+ months.

Yeah I will steep them for a couple of weeks, then try again. For me they taste much better than AHL (smooth criminal) tobacco base but a lot of peeps seem to like them.

I tried 14 different A+ flavors and did not like a single one. They all tasted perfumey to me. But I always recommend A+ to try because lots of folks enjoy them. I say the same about HHV, they are popular and worthy of a shot.

"Vape it till you like it". That's hilarious but I can see where you are coming from because they all taste like they have a lot of potential. I only started a few months ago so I am chasing the ADV. Casablanca was one of the first I ordered and I still enjoy it but after a few days straight I have to put it down, just get tired of it. So I guess partly I am trying to find others similar to Casa or go a different direction ie: fruits, etc. Thanks for the input...

HHV is like fine wine, it is best when aged and allowed to breathe.
