Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD

[Bronze]

Maturity is my middle name

I thought you had a 'V' in your name?

I'm getting pretty long in the tooth and I can still watch Looney Toons. Bugs Bunny is the bomb.

Yeah, Buggs rules, but he doesn't look like me:

I hope he don't go ape sh@% on my ...!

Count on it. It's in his nature.

That means I'm 5, at heart

Dante, you make some good points (though I would not want a steeped pizza). But I have to preface it too because I'm not a fruit fan and Gollum is plum and raisin. It's just not fair to hammer something that isn't in my league to begin with. That said, I also think I know a quality juice from a bad juice whether I personally like the flavor or not. I've sampled enough smoke juices now to tell just tell if there was thought and care put into a flavor...if they are true flavors and not just covering everything with perfume or insect repellent (to use your characterization). Honestly though, I found the plum and raisin combo rather interesting. Those are dark fruits (as opposed to the in-your-face citrus varieties) and I can see them going well with a tobacco. And then add the honey (which I like in a smoke juice) and it could be really good. I have to say, I am not over-expecting. That might be a good thing.

Agreed but on the same token. Out of the mail this may taste like a box of burned raisins that leaves us gagging. But after a week it might mellow down to a very pleasant vape. Lol. Who knows. One things for sure I won't let that initial impression ruin my overall perception of it. If we don't learn anything else from HHV we'll learn to give our juice time.

I can't tell from the constant banter in this thread if anyone has received/vaped Gollum yet... You guys (and monkey) simmer down now!

(Just cranky waiting on my HHV package, seems like it's been departing Atlanta for days now)

 

[TulsaClint]

No worries. I doubt there will be many takers on that offer. Lol
I still believe there's something to be said about first impressions. It'd be great if all of these came right out of the mail good to go, but we know they're not. It's like saying here's your pizza but don't eat it yet cause its not going to be really good for a week or so. I can see a lot of folks saying screw that I want something I can eat right now!

You know Dante, I know your statement is true about a lot of e-juice vendor's stuff, but seriously I have never found Heather's stuff to be bad right out of the mailer like other vendors. Not quite as great as it could be? Yes, but that's subjective too. I actually find fresh Gandalf to be better than when it sits for a few weeks. I had a bottle that sat for about a month, I vaped it and thought, "man, it's lost its greatness!" It still was not bad, by any mean, but I felt like I was missing out on what it's suppose to taste like in my opinion.

Funny you should say that TC - I sort of miss that great individual mouthful of vanilla followed by individual mouthful of chocolate followed with individual caramel and then it all changes again when it's young. Tastes rounded when its steeped with the wonderful HHV magic dust, but the unsteeped vape before all the flavors shake hands and mix it up a bit at the party is rather unique in my admittedly limited experience. I guess we'll just have to buy HHV every week to prevent it steeping and then vape till our faces turn blue!

I bought some HHV juice off the classifieds here on ECF. All 3 bottles (Huntsman, Gandalf and Dragon's Fire) are marked 0/100, which should indicate 100% VG. But all 3 of them are as watery and thin as pure 100% PG.

Are HHV's 100% VG juices typically thin? (Not sure how that could even be possible.) I've never had a 100% VG juice before, but all my 50/50 juices are much thicker than this. I'm thinking that the prior owner of these juices probably thinned them with some distilled water or something.

I'm thinking you're right. Heather's 100% VG is (slightly) thinner than most other 100% VG I've tried, but couldn't by any stretch of the imagination be called "thin". They are still coil gunkers, it just happens a little less quickly.

Ya that sounds a bit too thin. The 100%vg I had is thinner than other 100%vg I've had but certainly not watery. Sounds like someone has a scam going on.

And speaking of that, some have mentioned how easy and clean the HHV juices burn (overall). I have to concur. I've run a full tank in my Vivi and topped it off with another mL. Normally, that's all I'll do before taking it apart and cleaning it (yes, I am particular about that). I'm not having to do that with this Gandy. I can add more. It's still burning nicely and very little discoloration of the liquid. So to all those who have said HHV burns nicely, I agree completely.

A huge plus for me is in juice switching. I can go from one HHV juice to the next with very little residual flavor from the first. I typically vape at least 5-6 flavors on a daily basis so this awesome for me.

 

[Pappy]

Yep, I think they were thinned with something. Even as watery as they are, the Huntsman I'm vaping now produces lots of vapor, which indicates to me that it has a high VG content. When I saw how watery the juice was, I thought maybe it was 100% PG, but there's no way 100% PG would produce this kind of vapor. Plus, I don't think HHV even offers 100% PG.

 

[Bronze]

You're probably right. It's VG that has been thinned down. And yes, HHV offers 100% VG in their purity line that incorporates VG flavorings so it is a true 100% VG if you order it that way. They'll indicate if it is a purity flavor in the description if you're interested.

Whoot! The Gollum is coming! The Gollum is coming! One if by land and two if by sea!

Plus Shadowfax!

OK, I'll try to calm down now.
