Just how different is 100% VG juice from HHV? I usually get 70/30 PG/VG. Will 100% clog up cartos or are they thin enough to vape in a carto tank?

Haven't tried any 100%VG, but ALL the juice I order from EVERYONE is 30/70 an it seems to work just fine in Vivi Novas, clearos, cartos an attys with cartridges. It wicks well, produces plumes of vapor, has a mellow throat hit, and is thin enough to work in any device with no chemical or "off" flavors.

If you go with 100% VG, you are going to eliminate the possibility of successfully using pretty much ANY device with a wick and a tank, at least with most vendors. HHV seems to have some sort of secret to their 100% VG though, and for some reason it's not quite as thick as most.

You pays your money you takes your chances...

So that's 30 PG and 70 VG right?

What about Throat hit? Does it suffer and mute the flavour?

I've got about 8 or 9 bottles in my basket at HHV.. so, important question folks. :)

I'm the WRONG person to ask about throat hit. One of the things I like most about vaping is the ability to get intense tobacco flavors with a minimal throat hit. I like my vape to be rich, flavorful, have LOTS of vapor and be VERY smooth on the throat.

For me, the perfect vape would be something that tasted REALLY rich, had 3-alarm-fire-thick clouds of vapor, and nearly zero throat-hit...

Come to think of it, I'm not too big on TH either. At the same time, I don't want the flavour to be completely flat either.. I'll probably throw in a 1 at 100%, a couple others at 50/50 and go from there.

Gotta get the little one to bed. Back in a bit!

Thanks for the feedback. :)

I use HHV 100% vg cause I like the idea of organic. It works in vivi novas which do not like vg.
The purity line is 100% organic in vg, according to Adam. If we are going to pay good money to be crash test dummies for a new industry,
I don't see too many reasons to knowingly increase our risks.

I don't see any mention of this benefit of HHV purity lines.

GT and the Gang, can you please tell me which are your favorite tobacco juices from GeJ? I'm trying to decide which ones to order, and some extra opinions would really help me out. So far I'm thinking GJ4 for sure, but I'm having trouble deciding on a couple more.

PS-I've only sampled their Vita Bella, and it wasn't my cup of tea.

Dusty, I have had 100% VG from HHV and had a little trouble wicking in Vivi Novas, though not as much trouble as some other vendor's juices. Previously I used 50/50 but the PG was giving me a sore mouth sometimes. I settled on 30/70 and that seems to work fine for me, with none of the wicking issues, and the flavor, vapor, etc is great.

Just do 30/70 PG/VG. I think it's pretty thick and I have ran it thru carto tanks, vivi's, AGA-T's. I just got my last order 40/60. I think you'll be fine whatever you run it in. Sorry I had to put my little one to bed. Lol I started at 50/50 and it was great. But I have been trying to go to the thicker side. Thicker juices creates plumes. Right now I am vaping Dark Horse 30/70 in a double punched carto tank. Running great! I was using smoktech single coil 3ohm flanged cartos but have switched to boge cartos in valley vapes tanks. I thought I would have issues with the thicker juice than I'm used too but it's been wonderful lately. The stuff I used to vape was garbage. And the last bottle I ordered was 100% VG and lemme tell you it was thin. Either way you look at it you will be happy. What delivery set up you using?

Funny you would say that. My favorite speakers are Martin Logans (I've run nothing my MLs in my main system for over 15 years) and they are electrostatic hybrids (a 12"x 48" electrostatic panel mated with a 10" ported woofer).

Although Martin Logan has made some SERIOUS advancements in ESL technology (curved panels, vapor deposition of the conductive material, and a material for the panel that is lighter for a square inch of the material than a cubic inch of air--making them INCREDIBLY fast in response), the fact is that electrostatic panel speakers were invented in the 1920s, and they had one at Bell Labs in 1923 that was made from stretched pig intestine tissue covered in gold leaf! :blink:

So yeah, the speaker DESIGNS have changed a lot, and our understanding of the physics of driver alignment, phase, and crossover technology, and materials science has advanced tremendously in the last 100 years, but the fact is that the basic design technology of speakers that MOST people are familiar with (cone drivers and horns) is about 140 years old.

Some of us believe that tube amps, vinyl played on a turntable, and electrostatic speakers (ALL of which are essentially 120+ year old technology) are still the benchmark by which all "new technology" in audio is measured.

Don't get me wrong--I LOVE digital. I have a high-end Sony CD DVD player that I use as a CD transport, feeding a studio-quality DAC as my digital front end. And I also feed uncompressed digitally-ripped music from iTunes on my Mac through that same DAC into my rig. But when I want to REALLY listen to music critically, or enjoy true audio nirvana, I break out the vinyl... :2cool:

So yeah, I guess I AM an audiophile, and believe me, being an audiophile is a LOT like being a hard-core high-end vaper--you need to be a bit of a techie, you have to have the sort of personality that enjoys tweaking your gear, you are prone to getting obsessed over the silliest and most tiny details, and most "normal" people think you are completely insane. But in the end, it's all about enjoying the hobby, and getting the maximum satisfaction and pleasure out of your equipment.

There are a LOT of parallels between the audiophile world and the high-end vaping world, believe me. The elitism of the owners of certain brands, the "I made it myself" pride that DIYers have, the tribalism, an the propensity for any idiot with an internet connection and an opinion to trash things they've never owned or used are common threads in both hobbies, an provie for an endless source of entertainment, frustration and cat-fighting... :facepalm:

I enjoyed that post Stereo. Most of it made sense and now I get to go back and read it again to pick up the rest. My Dad was into early HDTV before he died in 1993. He did a lot of design work on the CRT and was an expert in tubes and glass and the sort. Much of what we see in HDTV was started by much of the work that my father and the group of people around him did. Must have been fun being a trailblazer. Technologies can exist for a long long time, but they are useless unless it can be designed into marketable sized pieces.

Wow, a lot of bobas hate in here. Seeing as how taste is so subjective I dont see how you can say people voting for it have not tried anything else. I have tried many different juices from many vendors and still have not found something I like as much as bobas except maybe GJ.

With that being said I don't see how it is a tobacco vape. I think people are voting it in that category because that is how it is categorized by ave.

I'm not a Boba's hater. I like it. And I actually get a hint of tobacco taste from it. I need to order some because it's a great diversionary vape for me.
