So you've been pulling on that Vita Bella all afternoon and you're not lettin' us in? How about a review? Mine wasn't delivered today. But TN is closer to Chicago than NC is.

See the Natural tobacco thread. :)

By the way, NO choco taste in Vita Bella.

I'm in West TN so I'm a lot closer to Chicago than you.
 
Geez, I vaped up the last drop of my Gandalf about an hour ago and I miss it already. I had to tear into my sack of Hershey Kisses just to make it to the next hour.

:(

Well don't order any more until she mixes mine! :blink:

And I've realized I vape WAY more than I thought I would...the ml's are flying away. DANG! At least I'm not getting nic sick with the 12 mg.

Has anyone else noticed that when the vapor hits you in the face, you get a cooling effect? Niceeeeeee...

I was on that thread early this morning and hadn't been back there since. I keep forgetting to subscribe to that thread. I did it now though. That's where your Vita Bella review belongs anyway. I think you're testing it the right way. You know it wont be a skunk so may as well load up the CE3 and give it a whirl. That's what you'd be vaping it out of long term so may as well get an apples to apples comparison.
 
Hey RJ - Its nearly always 100% VG for me. PG gives me the "heavy lungs/tight chest" problem.

Thinning: I guess it depends on your delivery device but honestly I've not had any problems with my clearomizers (CE3's Kanger T2s and 510 Excaliburs). Not even a little bit. I suspect that most vendors do the thinning for you to make it deliverable in your device. Either that or it really does have a severe impact on some devices that I'm personally not familiar with.

On the plus side for flavor selections - By choosing 100% VG wherever I can - ie with Heathers - and changing flavors during the day, I have found I can tolerate PG in other flavors when that's the only way they come.

As to weaker flavor, it's tough to answer that one as I've not ordered the same juice at 2 different VG/PG ratios, and other times I order extra flavor because I have the 100% VG option. Maybe I'll get a sampler size and see if the flavor changes on a couple. On the other hand perhaps that's why with Heather's I personally taste strong and different flavor notes with succesive puffs - the chocolate, the caramel, the vanilla and mocha coffee flavors instead of "tobacco" - would I call it or many other RY4s "tobacco"? No. Does that matter when vaping Gandalf. Heck no! It's wonderful stuff with individual strong flavor notes instead of a mud. I've compared Gandalf to being provided a fresh ice cream sundae when many other flavors consist of the melted muddy remains in the bottom of the bowl after someone's eaten it.
However, I should add the proviso that "tobacco" in my dictionary is more along the lines of a cigar, or other extracted tobacco like Devil Dog, though in DD's case I don't like that one specifically because of the latakia.

Hope that's of some help. Keep us updated! PS the superior intelligence durakitty told me to say Hello and her wish is my command. :)

The more I read the more I realize a lot of people are 100% VG. That's good to know. Besides the getting stuck in the drip tip, I think 100% VG juices may be awesome to drip. I just drip, although I have CE3s, Clearos, and Vivi Nova tanks in my box. I'll revisit them one day I'm sure. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be able to vape small amounts of PG, I have a whole lot of juices in my stash. Either I vape them anyway, or Mom is getting an early Christmas/Birthday/Mother's Day gift. I had Devil Dog in my sights today, until I realized it doesn't come in 100% VG. I've been hanging out reading the Natural Tobacco thread and I seem to have a lot of choices though. I found two more "can't live without" juices from HHV...Gandalf and Huntsman! Our cat/master Diamond and us also want to say hello to our new friends in Hawaii. Durakitty's power is noted, and understood.

Hey thanks for your reply. That was awesome! ;)

There is something that smells wonderful in Gandalf. Does anyone else taste coffee in it? Is it just me? lol

If that coffee taste mellows, it could be a hit for me. Truly though, I am hoping for that Oompa to shine, cause man does it smell good.
I don't smell coffee, but I smell black and green tea lol.

Extremely improbable, but, wouldn't it be hilarious if a vendor, HHV specifically, sent out different blends of a flavor, mixed differently for each person, just to make everyone confused when they tried to describe it?

It would take an extraordinary amount of filing. They would have to keep track of who they sent which blend to, just in case they reordered. I imagine that would be one of the greatest vaping practical jokes in our time.

I fired up my Heavenly Tobacco sampler about 15 minutes ago. I'll check back in later with a review. So far Gandalf is 5 stars as that one just kept getting better as I vaped it. Definitely an acquired taste but it is acquired rather rapidly. I gave Huntsman 4 stars. Grassy tobacco flavor worth vaping and retains that HHV smoothness. Not a WOW!!!! kinda vape but pleasant nonetheless.

Feeling rather devilish this morning Mr. Levitas? I'm not sure they have to mix different flavors. None of us can agree on the same flavor.

I really like Heavenly Tobacco - it still has that distinct HHV flavor with an RY4 sweetness. I like it when I want a slight change of pace, but still the HHV tobacco goodness.

Trying out some Vapin' Chimp this morning. It's only steeped overnight, so I'll reserve final judgement for a bit, but I really doubt it's going to change much, if any, as it's a pretty simple juice. I've heard very little about this juice here on ECF. I ordered it kind of hoping it might replace Gorilla Juice for me, but that's probably not going to happen. That said, it might not make it to the starting lineup, but it may very well find a spot in the bullpen.

The description on the website says "Wonderful rich banana flavor with just a hint of tobacco", and that's it and that's all. There are no mysterious, complex, hard to determine flavors in this. There's no choco/coffee/black tea/whatever to confuse you. This is BANANA and tobacco, and the tobacco mostly hides behind the banana. I was a little afraid when I first smelled it that it would be overwhelming, it was like shoving a banana up my nose, but it's very mild and pleasant when vaped, and the flavor is VERY accurate. It's not a dessert, it's not a candy, it's just banana. Did I mention banana? Lots of vapor, creamy, smooth, and very clean tasting, obviously mixed by Heather. Everything I've come to expect from HHV.

If you like bananas you might give it a try. Being a monkey I obviously do. :)

You know, I really like the bold tobacco flavor I get from Gorilla Juice, but I've always found the banana in it to be too faint and a little artificial. I wonder what would happen if I mixed them. hmmmmmm......

Go for it. I always blend juices if I have one that is lacking in flavor or has an edge on it I don't particularly like. I sort of get tired of blending and just want a juice I can load into my clearo straight from the bottle. But the reality is sometimes juices just fall short and you can alter them by blending. I have a straight tobacco VG and a smoky sweet VG and depending on what I want to do, I'll grab one of those and blend it in. I find I'll add no more than 30 - 50%. Anything beyond that and the jucie you're trying to fix is usually beyond repair and needs to be deep sixed. Let us know how it turns out. I haven't had the nads to try a banana flavor. Maybe I should.

So here's my Heavenly Tobacco impressions. This one is falling just short of being reorderable and I can give it only three stars. I wont lie, I am a bit disappointed as I was expecting to really like this one. And I know what the problem is. These RY4 flavors, of course, are the nut/caramel/vanilla blends that are popular and which I like a lot. But Heather puts too much emphasis on the nut and not enough on the caramel/vanilla. I love nutty flavor in my juices but I don't want it to be the dominant flavor. That's the case with Heavenly Tobacco to me. The problem with nut-dominant juices is they can tend to give off a slight burnt taste...like running into that bad nut in a bag of in-shell roasted peanuts. I'd rather have the nut be used to tame the sweetness of the caramel/vanilla rather than be the main focus of the flavor. Now, I have to say, the flavor did grow on me a little bit. It went to a weak three stars to a strong three stars by the time I finished the tank. I still have a bit more than a mL in my sample so I think I will pick this up again in a week and give it another try to see what happens. HHV seems to have this common theme among the three juices I've tried. They're all smooth yet robust flavors that take it to the limit but not beyond. It's worth having a little patience with HHV.

So in summary so far...
Gandalf = 5 stars (reorderable)
Huntsman = 4 stars (reorderable)
Heavenly Tobacco = 3 stars (not reorderable)
Up next: Pirate's Booty

Isn't it refreshing to find a line of juices that, even if a particular flavor isn't "for you", it's still pretty good? I think I'm gonna see if Adam and Heather will let me move in with them. Will work for juice. :)

Ha...you might have to fight me off to get that job. And yes, I totally agree. While I didn't find HT to be reorderable, I did not find anything offensive about it in the least. I think you tabbed it long ago...no one can vape an HHV and say, "ick". They have some really good, solid, strong, full flavors but keeps them smooth. Quite the talent they have over there.
