Kinda funny, you don't worry about yourself riding but it's different with the cubs. If I had a kid the worst day of my life would be the day I hand them the car keys.

The day my daughter got her driver's license was quite a day for me. She came to my office after passing the test. The office was in the same building as the licensing department, so she came with excitement undimmed by passing time. We hugged talked a minute but she was ready to get going. I walked her down to the door. She turned and looked at me with unbridled joy, so eager to use the new freedom. I just stood there and watched her walk away - skip actually. I have never been able to put words to feelings. One reason is that there were so many conflicting feelings. Happy for her but sad, the little girl not only is growing up but also growing out. And...driving, like growing out, is a perilous business.

And all these years ago you remember that day vividly. I would not sleep a wink. No, Sir!

Mornin All... :)

its joose day.... o_O .... ohhh joy. having this 1 week differential between the juice day and the bone cancer injection is going to keep me feeling nasty longer. Wont have a chance to settle out and feel decent for a week or so like it had been doing for me. By the time I start feeling human again, its time to get the injection, and by the time the injection smooths out, its juice day... ever get that feeling "ya just cant win"? o_O

Oh okay! It’s a bit embarrassing.

I asked if they would consider mixing Legend, Pirate’s Booty and Huntsman to taste like they did in 2012-2014.

in that regard I must say that I’ve been vaping Huntsman lately and that tobacco base is the same one that was used several years ago. It’s a nice dry tobacco. It almost has a tiny little hint of its original flavour profile which was a maple character. To me it used to remind me apple. That maple has been transferred over into Maple Eh which has more of a resemblance to old huntsman than huntsman has. Though I remember Huntsman being more complex than modern day Maple Eh.

the problem with the real tobacco flavors (extracts) is that they never are the exact same each season... theres always some difference in the same flavor each year. Pirates Booty is one that its really noticeable in. Sometimes PB is really awesome and every so often PB is just awesome and one time it was almost awesome. Dragon Fire, on the otherhand has seemed to maintain its flavor characteristics year after year. But the neat part about extracts, is the incredible flavor change ( always for the better) when you let a bottle age for a year or more... and when you mix the top 3 extracts you end up with Legendary Dragons Booty...

and BTW, feeling almost decent this morning, hope it lasts all week.

Another successful trip to the post office, and hopefully I have helped out a few fellow vapers.
Just in case I have inadvertently missed anyone, I do my own NET flavors and I always have more than I need. If any of the regular "HHV Army" would like to inquire about free tobacco extracts, meet me in the alley.
Losing access to an incredible business like Heathers Heavenly Vapes is depressing, but "Never give up. Never, never give up. Never, never, never give up."

@Bunnykiller is right about tobacco extracts. I’d also say that Heather has never been one to tinker with a great flavor intentionally. Some vendors might mess with a good thing just for the sake of tinkering — or “improving” — their product. Never Heather. Instead, she would create another flavor! That’s why there’s 89 different flavors in the HHV lineup. :)

My educated guess is that an ingredient was no longer available, or some ingredient vendor changed something in the base or flavoring.

Next, because we were required by law to register ingredients and because no new products are allowed without prior FDA approval (PMTA) after 8/8/16, it would be illegal to change a single thing about a single product. Any change to any ingredient would make it a new product under FDA regulations.

Therefore, even if Heather *could* go back to the old way of making those flavors, it would be illegal for her to do so.

It’s uncertain right now whether they can even get the ingredients for current flavors.

If you like Huntsman (and I was a HUGE fan back then) you might want to get some Gaia before the hammer comes down.... Of course, as you know they're real tobacco extracts so I think the harvests vary each year. On the other hand, you may find Gaia is your dream come true, and have to drive hundreds or thousands of miles to the Georgia store afterwards.....
