Calm down everyone - I'll give the definitive Gandalf review soon enough. ;-) -Magnus

Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers
Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

My favorite review of Gandalf was not my own, but from Ms. Ohai. I sure do miss her and hope all is well too. Check it out.
"Disclaimer- I don't usually vape tobaccos. My first vaping experience was with Cowboy, which I assumed I would like, being a Marlboro Lights girl, but no. Cowboy, to me, was kinda like... licking a cowboy. And not one of those cute rodeo/drugstore cowboys- a real cowboy, on branding day. Sweaty, sour, dusty, grumpy and tired.
So I quickly moved on to foodie flavors, which I love, and I love to experiment with odd combinations of fruity and bakery and savories and aromatics and spices, but I've stayed away from tobacco vapes for the most part, because I just frankly disliked every "cigalike" sample I tried, and I really don't know a thing about real tobacco at all.
However... I've always loved the smell of good pipe tobacco. My uncle used to smoke a pipe when I was a kid, and I was always fascinated with the beauty of a pipe- someday I'm getting a jazz pipe to vape with whether I can afford it or not. They're just too gorgeous.
But anyway- just so you know- I'm an absolute beginner here. /disclaimer
Some very kind and generous tobacconist vaper here on ECF happened to offer me a taste of Gandalf from Heather's Heavenly Vapes, and I was intrigued enough by the descriptions of it to pounce on the opportunity to try it. It's been a real challenge waiting all day til I could give it my full undivided attention, but I figured it would be worth it to wait, and boy did I figure right.
I'm dripping it on an Innokin itaste, 3.0 ohm atty, and I'm still messing around with it, but I think I'm liking it best at 4.2 v.
I'm not even sure where to start trying to describe it, it's so different and elusive to me, but after about five minutes of it, all I wanted to do was fill my lungs with it and breathe. It just makes me want to inhale forever. It's got a rich and round sort of gentle body to it, a lovely sort of light earthy walk in the woods at twilight taste. It's soft in your mouth, creamy, almost a pleasantly oily luxurious kind of mouth feel, but that's just sort of a cradling undertone, a place for everything else to rest. There's a hint of sweet smokiness, almost like a whiff of burning leaves in the fall. I think that's where I'm tasting a little something caramel, which I don't usually like, but am enjoying here very much. It isn't sweet to me, though- in fact, I'm loving how little sugaryness there is in it. It's mellow and rich and somehow very golden tasting to me. If this is natural tobacco, I'm sold.
If you'll forgive the abstraction, it really put me in mind of Robert Frost's Nothing Gold Can Stay.
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
I have to say, I'm completely smitten. If I ever do get that jazz pipe, this is the juice that will christen it.
And now I want to cry, because it's going to be gone way too soon, so Heather will be getting a visit from my Visa tonight." Ohai
"Nothing gold can stay" is proven true in Ohai not being anywhere to be found. Mann

Lol. That's a great review. I think we're past needing a good review to convince us though. We know it's good. Lord knows I wasn't sold on it at first but after trying several of the most revered juices gandalf was the first one I reordered. And have ordered 90mls of it since. Thats speaks a lot. Lol. Stuffs just good.
That did the trick, save me a $1.40 which is way better than spending a $1.40 lol. So thanks again for the tip!
hey HHV....remember when we met up at taco mac and yall let us try the upcoming tobacco ejuices ? .....i remember really liking the #2....it seemed to be a little stronger to me....adam, i think you said heather was vaping it and liked it better, too......did yall name that one and are yall selling it now ?....i am about to finalize my order and that just occurred to me....i wanted some of it, lol.....thanks....yall are still the best

Hey, good stuff is worth waiting for!! Made myself another convert last night.. that Pineapple Mango Smoothie does it every time 
I gave my loaner KGO kit to this guy, he's had it for about a week. I always include a carto with Gandalf, a menthol ice and a PMS.. he didn't much care for the Gandalf but he loved the PMS. He's still smoking, but wants to give them up completely so he had me order what he needs to get started. So a decent sized bottle of PMS, another of Parrothead and a couple mopheads. Had to order the Twists elsewhere (sorry guys, you only had one in stock and I needed two and a charger). He seems pretty excited about it all.. and I think he'll be a loyal recruit too

Thought I would pop in and say hi as well (one of the organizers of the ATL vape meet ups and the February organizers). Not much involved anymore as I replaced vaping with training for a triathlon. Just wanted to say hi and say it sounds great things are going well for you.
