Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD

[gthompson]

BTW, I filled my wife's M3 with Heavenly's last night...a mL's worth. She came back with it this evening and said it tastes too much like nutmeg and did not care for it. Didn't say "ick", just not her thing. So she doesn't care for Heavenly, she didn't care for Gandy. But she likes my Johnson Creek. She's a newbie. I could probably spring those flavors on her again in two months and she'd have a totally different opinion. Who the frick knows?

After you said it, I started noticing the "nutty" flavor in HT myself (power of suggestion?), although it's more subtle to me than it apparently was to you. I can taste it in Vapin' Chimp now too. I suspect it's the same tobacco base. It's not an extract, so far as I know, so the "nutty" flavor is probably one of the "make it taste like tobacco" ingredients. I'm not much on nutty myself (555, ick), but this is so light (to me) I barely notice it, and didn't really till you brought it to my attention.

I'm not a big nutty fan either except if it is used as a part of the base flavor. Obviously, I'm no expert on juice, but it would seem to me that the "nutty" flavor would serve to knock down the sweetness of a juice without compromising those other flavors. I think that's why nut goes so well with flavors like caramel and vanila. They can be a bit sweet and rich. The nut tames them IMHO. It's the difference between a caramel apple with nuts and without nuts. I most definitely prefer one with nuts (and not just for the texture). We part on Heavenly's only as it pertains to the perceived strength of the nuttiness. I'm just wondering if I had let it sit longer if anything would have changed. It sat a week when I got it and was only 3mL. Not sure there was much more room to change.

Hey hey!!!! Just got alerted that my HHV order has been shipped. Yippee Yahoo!!! I believe HHV is just outside of Atlanta if my memory serves so that should be a two-day delievery to me here in Wake Forest. But then I have to let it sit at least a few days. Hurry up and wait!

HT doesn't change much, if any, after a few days. I give it 4 or 5 days, not counting shipping, and that's probably more than it needs.

That's kind of what I think too. 4 - 5 days after delivery should be ample. That's what the BlueMist owner told me as well for 15 - 30mL bottles. And she included delivery time. I'd like to think she knows more about the topic than I. She might not know anything about favorable juice flavor but that doesn't apply to steeping.

BTW, that improved method for filling the CE3 is working wonderfully. The only place I get any juice mess (and it is miniscule) is when I remove my finger from the nose end after inverting it with the juice in it. There's just an ever-so-slight amount of pressure in the syringe from placing the plunger back in. I might be able to lighten up on that too by paying a bit more attention.

Yeah, I kind of feel like a dummy now.

Dark Horse.

This tastes like a straight cigarette tobacco. Like many others, I "thought" I wanted a flavor to match my old stinky. I found that I couldn't match it and quickly realized that I didn't want to anyway because there are so many other great flavors out there. Now that I have this flavor, I find that I enjoy it quite well. Simple and satisfying. A flavor I can just vape and not think about. Damn you, Heather! I guess I will just go and buy every flavor she has.

Now... which bill can wait another week? LOL

You really HAVE joined the army.

Well, I don't think you're a dummy. Let's just say you have high expectations of yourself. How's that for a PC answer?
I'll tell you what though, if I were to fill it according to that tiny little instruction card that comes with the CE3's, I'd of had my walls painted with smoke juice by now. Which reminds me, my screen went black yesterday and I noticed all kind of smoke juice runs on the surface.

Yep, he's an addict. You've heard of(MODERATED) This is HHV.

What day did you place your order?

I put mine in on monday and still waiting for it to be shipped....

The good news is that they will have plenty of time to steep as it looks like they won't be here before I leave for 2 weeks... ah well... Something to look forward to when I get back....

 

[gthompson]

2-4 days seems like the average turnaround time for them at the moment. I'm pretty sure they've been swamped with orders, and I've heard Heather really hates whipping those little hobbits to get them to work faster.

RJ placed her order on Saturday and it shipped yesterday. I placed my order on Sunday and it shipped today. So currently 3 days. I suspect they will cut that time as the week progresses. They probably get a big weekend buildup in their backlog and spend the first few days of the week just trying to come up for some air. The first time I place an order with HHV it took two days to ship. I wont be surprised if they get to your order later today but don't see it running past tomorrow. You're probably a good 3 - 4 days delivery (or more) being on the other side of the continent. As you say, it appears it will be irrelelevant in your case.

Mine is already in town...I'll probably get it tomorrow.

Alabama, Georgia.......what's the difference?

 

[gthompson]

I usually get mine in 2 days (after it's shipped I mean). They shipped one order from me on a Saturday and I got it on Monday. Can't beat that.

I never thought hobbits worked weekends, who knew?

I'm tellin' yuh...it's the Elves!

 

[Z_Ghost]

I completely understand. Based on the info I could gather, they will likely be shipping orders today that they received on Sunday. Seems they are about three days for shipping new orders. They are quite busy (which is both good and bad). I guess I look at it this way, if I didn't like it that much I wouldn't care if it took long.

You were right, order Sunday and it shipped today.
Should be here this weekend if all goes well.

so sad, I got my order today from heathers and my juices were a mess...the ziplock it came in was drenched in juice. Looks like the post office went nuts with it...my dragons fire came near empty and my gandalf is about half way. I tried the gandalf, don't know how accurate it is though cause I think the juices mixed a bit. Nonetheless, it tasted good lol...havent tried whats left of the dragons fire, will do that later. I was able to save about 3ml of the spilled juice that was in the ziplock, guess I have a dragons gandalf hybrid. sad day

Ahhh, that's a shame. You're being a good sport about it. I think I mighta wigged out. Yes, an HHV hybrid will still be pretty good though. You gonna reorder?
