Hey all, order #8383 here! Placed 5 minutes ago. Looking like a 7-10 day wait time even for an east coaster.
1 30ml - Legend (36mg)
1 30ml - Legend (24mg) Like to blend them for some perfect 30mg!
1 30ml - Shadow (24mg)
I had a really tough time deciding between Shadow and Serendipity on a new flavor to try. Can anyone please tell me the difference between the two and are there similarities with Shadow and Gandy? Oops, meant Legend. Thx all!

Hi Brian,
Shadow....creamy with a light vanilla note. Slightly rich. Very pleasant vape.
Serendipity...less rich than Shadow, a bit more savory with a dull sweet note similar to choco chip.
Legend...pipe tobacco with a slight fruity note. Some say cherry, but not overwhelming.
As with all HHV tobacco vapes, allow them proper time for steeping. Caps off for a day or two then you can put the caps on and let them sit at least another week. Shake often. They continue to improve with age.
All three are distinct. I'm sure you are looking forward to it. Enjoy.
I ordered on a Saturday (1-12-13) so processing was really Monday 1-14-13. It shipped on Friday 1-18-13 and I received yesterday 1-22-13. Monday (1-21-13) was a US holiday.
I have only dug into one of nine flavors I ordered, Cin City, and was blown away how good it was. Although new to all of this, everything I had prior was tobacco or similiar and this opened my eyes to what is available. No doubt about it, the reviews of HHV are well founded and I don't need to keep looking for a liquid shop.
Thanks HHV, my short, but expensive search is over.

M2 I had the same problem. So I went with 30ml Shadow, 15 ml Serendipity & 30ml Legend. I would have liked to order more, but...
that was all I could shake off my backyard money tree for now. lol I don't mind the wait at all for quality juice. I've had to wait a month for juice from another popular ECF vendor. So 7-12 days wait for HHV is not bad at all.

Order #8438 because I'm planning ahead (read: hoarding)
Haven't even tried Sludge or Serendipity yet (both are still being steeped with tender loving care), but based on scent alone, I'm reordering them.
Had to get moreGandalf Legend, especially if it's going to steep long enough.
And I finally got around to ordering a smaller bottle of Huntsman to try out. It was a difficult choice. I still haven't ordered Shadow or HA yet. My coin doesn't have 3 sides. But honestly, I'm VERY happy with all of the tobaccos I've tried so far. And I'm positive the ones I have not tried yet (steeping) I'll love as well. So now it's time to start stocking up (vape budget allowing).
I'd really love if you guys offered 60, 100/120, or even 240 ml bottles. (hint, hint)

I dont fully understand the steeping thing. If you have bought a new flavor that you have never tried before, why would you not want to try them before they are steeped. How are you to know if steeping does anything if you dont even try it. I personally like to sample every few days while steeping a brand new juice so I can account for changes. Personally, I think HHV Mocha Java Smooth goes from perfection in the first few weeks to a strange buttery disaster after its been around more than a month. Some go from good to bad and others go from bad to good, and honestly with some, I cant tell any difference.
We are having some issues with the hosting company today. The site has been up and down and I apologize for that. Bear with is while we get the problem straightened out...
In my experience, tobaccos take at least 3 weeks to get close to their peak (and maybe another month to truly hit their peak). I steep tobaccos sight unseen as a matter of course.
I'm also getting a feel by scent what the juice's potential will be. So even though I haven't tried them yet (very tempted, but I do not wish to short change a juice by trying it before it's ripe), I know by scent alone that those 2 juices will be very good. Well, that, and customer testimony. And HHV has not done me wrong yet.
<voice of Orson Welles> I'll vape no juice before its time.
It depends on the juice, the extraction method, and most importantly, your taste. Always vape some as soon as you get it. If you love it, who's to say you shouldn't vape it? Even if people think it gets better with time, as many do, if you're enjoying it, knock yourself out. Many juices that use strained particulate organics, like the naturally extracted tobaccos (NET) definitely improve with some steep time. Whether that makes them better for you is subjective. Many juices don't change much at all after the first week and as you have already witnessed, coffees tend to break down over time. You wouldn't be the first to notice that phenomenon. If you want to know more specifics about steep times, and peoples experiences with different juices, head over to the Heather's Heavenly Vapes tobacco line thread. All the regulars are eager to answer any questions you have regarding HHV and vaping in general. Our motto over there is "vape it 'till you like it", so that should give you an idea of the consensus about "steeping".

I got vape mail coming my way! Order 8132 shipped.
Thanks for the update.
Im asking here because I bought my Vivi Nova here and I know there are so many variations. Ive had it for months working perfectly. I just got a new tank section and replacement mop head and now Im having a leaking problem. I think it is right out the 510 connection. Cant figure out why. Any ideas?
Check if the head is screwed down all the way and see if there the top of the head is centered when looking down upon it with the top cap off. If it is skewed, there may be a gap between the head and the cap when everything is screwed on. Don't overfill. Fill your juice below the point where the wicks enter the head. Other than that, I can't give advice on non-Vision novas. Adam may be able to help as he would have more hands-on experience with the model you have. If he doesn't answer you here directly, shoot him an email from the HHV website. Adam and Heather are very good about remedying customer issues. Keep in mind that they are in the process of expanding their mixing lab to a new facility and will be quite busy through the next several weeks. Send an email and be patient. It will be answered. Good luck.
Im in no hurry. Ya, I made sure the rubber cap is seated all the way. It looks straight. Because of the first leak I filled only 1/3 full. Just picked it up and there is a little juice on the side of the tank. I store it horizontally. It has been that way for months with the original tube and head though with no issues. Ill keep researching around and ask Adam on the site. My only real concern is losing some of my new juice
Thanks for taking the time respond Xfoo.

Seahawk...at some point you dig a hole and bury it. Sounds like you got some decent use out of it.
Seriously? Im not sure I understand. You think I should throw away a vivi nova? Why? Maybe I dont understand them as well as I thought I did. I learn something every day. How long should they last. I thought you just had to change the head from time to time, not the entire unit. Plus this happened directly after rebuilding. I also have about ten RBA's that I maintain so it really didnt even get used all that often. I guess Ill just toss it then.
Sounds like the mop head isn't screwed down tight. That's why I had leaking on mine. Also my clear tank tube that came on it didn't seal properly and I had some juice seep out very slowly. I bought the metal replacement tubes and they were fine. Also don't know if you tinker and are able to make coils but they are very easy to rebuild those coils on the vivi heads. And I use cotton yarn not silica wick. Cheap way to go and flavor is much better for me. Either way good luck.

That's the red flag I was looking for. Store your filled tanks vertically. Even if its sealed well, if your tank is laying on its side juice will over-saturate the coils and flood the head.
