Yeah, sounds like that engine is KIA. Maybe could get a few parts off it at best. Just got to thinking it’s a single head engine, huh?

yup ... single head, a slightly impressive 1 liter 3 cyl 70HP motor ( I think my vacuum cleaner has more power o_O)... it struggles with hills.... and temps above 90F with the AC on but at 47MPG in most conditions... its awesome. :)

Well, that was quite a discussion that went on over HHV pricing! I admire everyone’s restraint. I know Heather and Adam appreciate everyone who puts out a good word for them. :)

Some additional info, if it ever comes up again:

  • HHV buys premium flavorings. Heather pays more than average for the ingredients going into each flavor.
  • They are not a “bulk” operation either in their purchasing or in preparation of the final product.
  • Every single bottle is hand-mixed to order with the customer’s preferred choices of PG/VG, nicotine, extra flavor, menthol (3 options). Nothing is standardized or mass produced.
  • juice is mixed in an ISO level 7 clean room.
  • The recipes are spot on for flavor.

Yeah, but my $3 juice is ... like only $3! I spent hundreds of bucks finding out how to make $3 juice, I mix it in the bathtub after I've come home from the pub. If I released it, I'd get 100's of 1,000's of people wanting to buy it, and my staff would work for free, my shop rent would be free, my electricity would be free, it would only cost me 99 cents a year for ajax to clean the bathtub, but all the logistics of ordering and shipping would be free. I could go round the dumps on sunday and recycle any old bottles to put it in, just rinse them under the faucet (because water is free) Heck, I could sell it for $2 for a million mg and be a winner.....:rolleyes: ......:-x and I could still pay my mortgage and car on the proceeds of having put in 140 hours of my body and soul per week

HHV compared to other companies is like comparing Chimay to Budwieser...
Chimay costs 13$ a bottle while Budwieser is... what? a buck25? Its all about quality...

Speaking of Chimay ....
While you are paying for parts, Pabst Blue Ribbon could be an option ....

What kind of desserts ? What kind of NET's ?
One of HHV's longest running and best selling flavors is their Cherry Tobacco, Legend.
They also have a chocolate- honey tobacco called Dragon's Fire that is quite good.
For strait tobacco flavors, there is Dark Horse and Gaia.
HHV tobaccos are extracted using heated Organic Ethyl Alcohol, so if you get their NET flavors it is recommended that you remove the caps and dripper for 24 hours.
They also have some of the better synthetic tobaccos, Heavenly Tobacco and Caramel Apple Tobacco.

As for desserts, there are sweets like Vanilla Dream, Blade and Powder Keg (think Almond Joy candy bar)
There are pastry flavors Apple Butter Rum Cake,Parrot Head, Blueberry Muffin and Cin City.
There are 'holiday' flavors like Carnival, Cinful Apple, Cinful Pear and Pumpkin Spice.

Whatever you buy, it will not be mixed until they receive your order. All HHV flavors are hand mixed per the customer's request. This is why they are "Custom" e-liquids, made per order. Because of this, you may want to let these e-liquids "steep" (or age) for a couple of weeks before you start into them.
I would also recommend buying 30ml bottles on your first order. "Trial Size", that way if you like it you have more. If not, put it away for a few months and come back to it. (I personally think Legend is best after about four months).

Hi and welcome! :)

In NETs, Dragon’s Fire is my all day, every day vape. Legend is another favorite, though I agree with Brett that it benefits from aging. The cherry goes to the background with time and the tobacco comes forward. Serendipity is Legend with a longer extract time and is a darker, almost black tea tinged flavor. Pirate’s Booty has a hint of spice and as it ages it reminds me of a really good cigar.

In desserts, Gooey Butter Cake and Pineapple Upside Down Cake have been favorites. I really like Heather’s cake flavors. Tuscan Cocoa is a rich chocolate and a good blending flavor to add to others. Peppermint Bark and Blueberry Muffin are also tasty.

I like Drang's Fire from the first vape and still do. I got Legend shortly thereafter but didn't care for it. But I just set it aside for I am not sure how long but it was quite a while and you are right - it ages well like so many here on the HHV thread.

PS: I din't know that you were a cigar aficionado. :thumbs:

Cigars were my thing. It’s how I ended up smoking cigs. I started out on Balmoral. I think it was the Royal blend. Then I moved to Ashton Madura. To this day I struggle with cravings for one of those.

I moved to clove cigs because cigars were so expensive and took a lot of time to enjoy. Then I discovered Nat Sherman cigs, which were like cigars in cigarette form. Very dense and flavorful. Only on a bad day would I have more than half a pack a day. But I was good and hooked.

I became a devotee of HHV because it was always the dense, rich flavor I enjoyed. My current gear, coil and wattage mimick that old cigar experience as closely as I’ve gotten in vaping. Right down to the warmth of the vapor. Even my wide bore drip tip has a feel like the hole punch method I preferred for cutting my cigars.

And that’s all I should say about that because I’m starting to trigger myself into fierce craving for a cigar. ;)

Time for Stoved Virginia ? or maybe some Midtown Chestnut ?
