I love HHV. If you're getting any of her NET Purity line tobaccos (I see Legend on your list), you want to most definitely steep them. I suggest putting it in a closet and forgetting about it for a month. At least two weeks. I've not dabbled much in her other flavors outside of tobaccos, but I'm assuming they can use a week to two week's steeping (as with any other "mixed fresh for you" online vendor).

Good thing is, I am receiving these juices via trading. So they have already been steeping. YEAH! I think at least 2 of the juices are from the purity line. If not 3. I was checking out the website last night.

Hooray for pre steeped juices. And the recipient of my juices got some MBV stuff I had lying around...some of their better juices like Hawk Sauce and Extreme Ice.

I love HHV, but Legend is the only one from your list I've ordered from them (good stuff). I've tried the Vanilla from a friend and it was definitely a good vanilla. Cin City from HHV is the closest thing I have to an ADV - I haven't tried a juice I couldn't vape from them yet. I hope you enjoy them!

Haven't tried the Monkey Wrench yet either. Lol. I've tried the following:

Cin City - As mentioned above, this is as close to an ADV as I have. I have a dedicated RDA just for this juice.
Cinful Pear - Really, really good! Reminds me of a very cinnamon heavy apple sauce, but with pears instead of apples. The pear is a very realistic, juicy, sweet pear.
Cinful Pear - As I'm sure you can imagine, this reminds me of a very cinnamon heavy apple sauce.... with apples! Lol.
Blueberry Muffin - Yum! Tastes like a bakery fresh blueberry muffin with cinnamon and sugar sprinkled on top. This one has a very intense flavor and is a little too much for some, but I really enjoy it.
Carnival - I only had a 6ml sample of this one and I didn't care for it fresh OOB, never went back to it because I got distracted. I need to go dig it out.
Heavenly Waffles - I didn't care for this one simply because I got pecan as one of the toppings - I think it would be a winner with just syrup and butter.
Mallow Mint - I haven't ordered this flavor, but my sister-in-law had some in a pro tank that I vaped on for a bit - I'm not usually into mint flavors, but this one was pretty good. Reminded me of an after dinner mint.
P'Nut Butter Cookie - Tasted like a peanut butter cookie - this was another that I only got a 6ml bottle of - I've been meaning to re-order it in a larger bottle but keep forgetting.
Powder Keg - Just got this in with my last 100ml bottle of Cin City - still steeping.
Trick or Treat - Tastes just like a creamy candy corn.

I have also had several of her tobaccos with Heavenly Tobacco and Dragon's Fire ranking towards the top. Some of them were samples from a sample pack and not in the right PG/VG ratio for me, but they have all been good. To me, a lot of the NETs are very similar to one another.

Crackberry and caramel apple tobacco are my two most re-ordered juices. Legend, caramel cappacino, and blueberry muffin are can't misses as well IMHO.

Someone mentioned monkey wrench, and since banana candy is one of my favorite things on earth i tried it. It is too light in flavor. if you want that almost too sweet artificial banana flavor, go with banana milkshake from zeus juice.

So...got my juices today.

Tried Just Peachy. Didn't do anything for me. Tastes cheap and generic. Not a lot of peach. More plastic. Yes, was well steeped. Booo.

Then tried Bleeding Heart. I'm on the fence about this one. Has a good upfront flavor, but there is something lingering in the background that reminds me of the peach one. Filled up a ProTank and going to vape it over the next couple days before I form a final opinion.

Right now, I'm vaping Legend. This one has a ton of in your face flavor. It's sweet and doesn't really taste like tobacco to me, but does have a somewhat pleasant vibe to it. Put this one in a protank mini. Will smoke a tank or two and see how it goes. Also has a slight hint of the odd flavor base I tasted in the other two. Could be just an HHV thing.

So far, I haven't experienced the "wow" factor. But I might still try the Monkey Wrench. We will see.

Another note--regardless of flavor all these juices produce HUGE clouds even at 80% PG. I used to vape high PG, but after I got past my "I only care about throat hit" stage, I started upping the VG. Seems to provide a fuller, more satisfying vape, and doesn't burn as easily.

Well, IMO Legend and its close relatives taste like tobacco, they don't taste like BURNT tobacco. Nothing will except...burnt stuff.

Unfortunately I now judge ALL e-liquids against Legend and so I might as well just order Legend.

My opinion is that people can vape all the HHV Purity and other flavors they want to, but if my supply of Legend is ever threatened, I'll tell you to leave the entire supply to me please and don't buy any.

I was also thrilled that they now have 100ml bottles, because my house was filling up with 30ml and 50ml bottles and purple caps and I don't know what to do about that.

Always steep HHV tobacco flavors.

I know these juices were steeped for quite a while before you even got them, but do you know if the person you made the trade with let them 'air out' with the caps/dropper off? I believe HHV uses alcohol to cut their juices and I always let mine sit for 24 hours with caps off. I'm almost positive the PG isn't contributing to the plastic taste you are getting, but I do vape 100% VG from them.

As we all know, taste is completely subjective - you may be picking up on something from the nic base/flavors/PG/VG, or you may just not have a taste for them. Hopefully you will be able to get some enjoyment out of them!

You don't need to steep one flavor fruit flavors, what you get on day one is what you get on day 40. Caps off for 24 hours, vape.

Legend and the HHV NETs all need three to six weeks IMO, and Legend has a strong tobacco flavor IMO. Palettes vary of course, but I've never read anyone saying that Legend was not tobacco flavored. Interesting.

No idea if they aired out with the cap off or not. 2 of the bottles (Bleeding Heart and Legend) were pretty full when I got them, so will let the caps off for a while to see if that helps.

Maybe I was being a bit unfair. It does taste a little like tobacco to me...but almost like they tried to make a candy flavored pipe tobacco. I was going to try and vape a whole tank to see if it would grow on me, but I ended up not being able to do that. Going to let caps off for a while and see if that helps.

Right now, vaping Bananas Gone Nuts from MBV. YUMMM.

Don't worry about it. I hated it for 1 day, liked it the next day, loved it by the third day. But there is NO reason to go for 'tobacco' flavors. Do what YOU like.

To me it tastes like cigars/pipes smell, somewhere in between. Which, I'm sure, is NOT how they taste.
