Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD

[Calico1964]

I know! It just further breaks your heart, doesn't it?

Yes it does. It was a terrible time.

Bronze, so sorry about Raven

Robin, this comes straight from the horses mouth....most HHV juices need to evaporate the alcohol from the tobacco and/or the PG-based flavorings they use.

That's most of their juices. Little steeping can occur until this alcohol is evaporated. This is why you want to take the caps off for a day or two upon receiving your juices. Then you can recap them. Shaking occassionally during the steeping process helps (both during caps off and caps on). It is always a good idea to shake the juice before you fill your clearo too. How long it must sit is entirely up to the individual. Some people will vape it right out of the mailbox, alcohol and all. Some wait a few days, some a week, some two weeks, and some like Eleanor three years. But flavors do change with steeping...some more than others and most get better in most people's opinions.

Thanks, good to know. As soon as I get my order, I intend to shake, remove caps, sniff, drip, taste, then put on a shelf for a day. Day 2, add cap, shake, sniff, drip, taste , put cap back on and watch them lovingly while steeping takes place
Day 3 same as day 2 LOL. In fact, I think I'll fill about 10 of my vision stardusts with each of some Gandy, Dark Horse, Dragon's Fire, Gollum, Heavenly Tobacco, Huntsman, Java Smooth, Oompa, Pirate's Booty and Tuscan Coca hoping that steeping will occur at a faster rate in these 1.6 ml devices as opposed to the big bottle steeping The anticipation is killin me

Very sorry about Raven, Bronze...

I need to get away from the news for a while. The winds are kicking up something fierce. Hope my windows hold, one has developed a leak. They are saying even stronger winds coming tonight.

Raven the Kitty

Rest In Peace

Sorry about your family's loss. Even when they had a long life like Raven did, it's still sad to lose a pet you care for.

So I finished off 1.5mL of Adam's Apple. Very good. It's straight up apple. Nothing funky here. I'd put it more in the category of red apple. Nice and fresh and a nice break from the heavy tobacco vapes.. I don't like fruit vapes but for some reason, apple vape agrees with me including Caramel Apple Tobacco. This will make an excellent breakfast vape and I will reorder more Adam's Apple.

It is good. I managed to get a few drops of it before my Mom bought it from me. It is a red apple and not green. My Mom LOVES apple juices, that is her favorite and that is all she mostly vapes. I was very glad to see HHV create this one...it makes ordering easier for me since I can get some of my juices and hers all at the same place. But now I need to order some for me. Apple vapes seem to be refreshing moreso than any other fruit I've tried. YUMMY!

Good morning Army! Twelve new to me HHV bottles were in my mailbox, yesterday. So, being the dutiful soldier that I am ----

First impressions, in the order of taste testing:

Dark Horse -- Oh, yeah! I lurves me a little spice.
Dragon's Fire -- Yep, yep!
Huntsman -- Uh huhhh, yep, yep. Ohh, baby!!
Serendipity -- Huh?? Where did Gandolf go? Vewwy, vewwy, intewesting. Coffee, chocolate...hmmmm...it's growing on me!
Pirates Booty -- Yep!
Shadowfax -- Yep!
Jiggy -- Yeppers!
Oompa -- WTH?!! Popcorn butter??!!! Hangin' out with MJS? NFW! Nooop, nooop, noop. NOOMPA! NEVER!
Cinful Pear -- Ooooh, nice! Very nice!
Cinful Apple -- Nice, too. Almost as nice.
Clockwork Orange -- Hmmmmm, Orange, I think you better go stand over there and wait for Chocolate to show up.
Tuscan Cocoa -- Now THIS, THIS is what a chocolate vape should taste like.

.....notes to self, add Jiggy, Cinful Pear and anything with apple to my next shopping cart ...............along with Serendipity, Shadowfax and a dozen others already in the cart and still don't have my FIRST order yet

Stay safe Robino!!!!

Bronze, so sorry to hear about Raven. I know you joked about her but I understand you and your family will feel the loss. My deepest sympathy.

(hugs my furkids a little closer)

The one cigarette I have each day tastes absolutely horrible!

I'm down to about 2 a day for the same reason. They're starting to taste crappy. I seem to have a mental thing about wanting to hold a friggin cigarette between my fingers for a few minutes which I can't do with my pv's. Hopefully my arrival of HHV's will make me stop lighting up for good and it won't matter!

The other juices are bah-in, bleeding heart, caramel cappuccino, cinful pear, dew the do, and just peachy.
All 10 ordered in 15ml bottles, so I don't run out immediately of the ones i like

I haven't had too much luck with tobacco juices so far, I've tried a few from sweet-vapes and vapedudes that were ok, but the one I've liked the most so far has been an ry4 from TW.
Keep in mind I haven't tried too many juices yet, and I also had a period of dead buds, still much to try
My favorites at the moment are butterscotch, and strawberry banana shake from sweet-vapes; ry4 and buttermint from TW; and absinthe from vapedudes. Still have several juices in my juice drawer that I have yet to try.

Ugh, dead tastebuds are a nuisance I have far too often. Too much chain vaping and not drinking enough water. Looks like you have several you do like. I like RY4, too. I love anything with a caramel bent in it. I also like complex flavors rather than single flavors.

Hey, anyone here ever get the heavy lung sensation from a too-heavy VG percentage?

I'm getting that, I think, and am wondering how to proceed. Which sucks because I just went through the whole vetting process, identified my favs and loaded up for what should last me at least a couple of months.

I'm using 30/70 6mg.

I don't at all with 100% VG. PG does that to me.

Sounds gruesome back there. I'm watching the news on and off all day about it and hoping you all will be okay.

I grew up in northern Illinois and used to never think much about the heavy winds and storms we had frequently. Tornado alley didn't seem all that scarey. Now, since I have lived for over a couple decades in the desert where we seldom have weather - the least little storm unnerves me.

Vapemail from HHV arrived today. The base I work on is closed today and tomorrow compliments of Sandy (though I have to use my own personal leave unless I want leave without pay!). Just north of Richmond, Va, a lot of rain and some wind so far, but not bad... I feel for those north and east of us though!!!

So I am vaping a tank of PB right from the mail. Its good, but not as strong and flavorful as the sample I had. I take it a steep is necessary to release some of the alcohol in the mix??? I never bought off on steeping, but it seems to be the case for this e-liquid. I am open for suggestions on how to go about this...

Took a test vape of Oompa! (I liked it right off), gandalf, gollum, and a few others. They all smell and tasted real nice, but I think a little steeping may help bring out the flavors more . Whelp, I'll vape this over the next month or so and hopefully find a fav, so I can purchase more to have on hand in quantity. As far as the 100% VG, I like it. Thanks HHV for the purity line for us PG intolerance types!

Did you get the messages on answering machine from local power company like I did about how we should be prepared to maybe NOT have electricity for a week or more? I will totally freak out if I don't have the internet for that long , but should be thinking about staying warm, food, shelter LOL

 

[~Sue~Feb2012]

Your house in danger of flooding?
Me myself I'm having leaks in the windows and now theres a stream of water in the ceiling. Gonna have to pull overtime tonight and stay awake

Bummer, yeah, last year during the big storms, my roof leaked and had to not only get a whole new roof, had to repair ceilings in the living room, etc. Now my homeowners insurance has gone up almost $200 for this next bill, damn! I guess they have to get the $1500 they gave me toward repairs somehow!

 

[Robino1]

No we didn't but we live in downtown Philly so maybe with all the business (city gov offices etc) and the fact we are in the historic area, we would be one of the first to have repairs made?

I hope you don't lose electic for any length of time. Stay safe!!!

R.I.P. Raven. Even the annoying pets are missed when they are gone. Sorry Bronze.

Who's got a teeny tiny kitten for Bronze??? Bronze needs a kitten.
