I love MOVs extracted tobaccos, currently making a list of their synthetics to try. So far Black Forest and TNO was on it, but I'll add Whiteleaf and Gold since your recommending them. Have you had Smooth & Mild from them and if so would you recommend it?

Nope, I haven't had Smooth & Mild, but I would guess that it is a watered down version of TNO, which kinda blew me away. I have tried a couple of their NETs, but I much prefer their synthetic blends.

You have a few HHVs there already. But if you like the ones you have, Dark Horse, Dragons Fire, and Pirates Booty should make your next order. They are actually better, in my book, than the ones you ordered (with the exception of Huntsman, my favorite juice on earth at the moment).

MOV Gold has already been suggested. I second the suggestion, and add Pendragon to it.

All of the juices from HHV and MOV require steeping. I personally do not think it is necessary for them to be steeped two months. If you remove the cap and let it breathe for two days, and recap them and let them sit for a week capped, they are ready to vape. They do mature for another few weeks, but IMHO 90% of the change has happened by the end of this 9 day period.

Each day you should shake the bottles vigorously. The days you are letting it breathe, cap it first, and when you are done shaking squeeze the bottles to force air in and out of the tip. This pumps air to the juice, and eliminates the "juice bubble" that can prevent air from entering the bottle. I find this squeeze/pump method increases the effectiveness of the early period of steeping greatly.

Like all things, juices are subjective, steeping methods are too.

I also didn't find the MOV NETs to need much steeping. Pendragon was amazing right away to me. FVF RY4 needed some time though.

For a sweet tobacco with a slight chocolate essence look no further than HHV Dragon's Fire. Boat loads of great flavor and excellent performance for me. Yeah, I know, it has no chocolate in it but I pick it up as a note which compliments the tobacco perfectly. I've never had Oompa, but that is their true "chocolate tobacco".

^^I dont get any of that from Dragon Fire..its a good tobacco though.

Yeah, I know, its weird. Whenever I bring up that I get a chocolate note in it, someone will say something along the lines of "it doesn't taste like chocolate at all". Even local friends who have tried my exact clearo I keep filled with it say "all I taste is tobacco". I got a hint of chocolate off Pirate's Booty too, and again everyone says that is wrong as well. Even Shadow has the tiniest bit of this flavor in it to me, but not Legend. My favorites so far are DF and Legend, and chocolate note or not they are both damn good.

So far all I've had from HHV have a certain sweetness that I can see could play as cocoa or chocolate for some people. Not a big stretch at all. Serendipity for me is the one with noticable cocoa notes alongside coffee notes. Legend plays as a cherry tobacco to me.

Yea im the "All I get is tobacco" guy lol
I didnt like legend too much, its ok. Heavenly tobacco is very good but my favorite tobacco from HHV is Dark Horse hands down.

I just got my sweetener order from MBV so time to experiment. :evil:

HHV Legend and Serendipity are awesome chocolate/coffee tobacco flavors. It takes about 2 months for these juices to reach full maturity, though. :(

You may want to check out the Really Big RY4 Roundup thread. The most current ranking are in post #3751.

I got HHV's Serendipity and Mocha Java Smooth a week ago...had a feeling these need to be steeped for a while but I'm vaping the Mocha Java anyway...not that real good "coffee" flavor I'm looking for but not bad.

Is it just me? I've tried most of HHV's tobaccos and many of them are flat out awesome! But, with most every flavor I've tried, my taste-buds just shut down after 10-20 minutes of vaping. Drinking plenty of water seems to help, but each of HHV's juice sort of turn similarly into the same "nothingness" until I revisit the next day. Then... repeat, then repeat...

Vape 'em and move on to the next. Some vapes are well endowed in fast-twitch fibers and some are blessed with the slow-twitch variety. Granted where not talking muscle fibers here, but I use the parallel to point out that some vapes tend to be like sprinters and tire quickly, though being explosive out of the gate; some are marathon capable with little to no explosion, but able to go for long distances at a steady and consistent output.

You're not alone - I get that chocolate note from Dragon Fire, too. I mentioned in another thread a couple of days ago that I think it's more fragrance than flavor, but taste and smell are so intertwined that it's hard to be sure which sense is picking it up.

I definitely get the cherry note from Legend. And it truly is a single note within the symphony that is this juice :)
