Ok, so I've been vaping for over 3 weeks now, and I have now ordered somewhere near 40 different e-liquids from a whole bunch of companies. I have found that I am fairly picky when it comes to e-liquids, but apparently thats not all that uncommon. Out of the flavors I've tried, most are either barely acceptable or undesirable. I'd say that maybe 30% are OK, and only a few are all day vape-able.
So Heather's Heavenly Vapes has been one of those companies I have been reading about since I began reading reviews, and it took me a little while to order from them, but last week I ordered 4 juices from them, all in 12mg/ml. They are 1. Gandalf, 2. Heavenly Tobacco, 3. Huntsman, 4. Dark Horse.... These are all supposedly tobacco flavored e-liquids.
So, the one juice I have read about from the beginning is Gandalf, and that was the main reason I ordered from HHV, to try gandalf, because its supposedly the bee's knees.... It my opinion it isnt the bees knees. Like the other 3 from HHV, it doesnt even remotely have a tobacco flavor to it. It tastes like a mocha coffee flavor. Its not terrible, but its not something I'd order again, and certainly doesnt have great throat hit. I wanted a tobacco flavor with maybe a top note of some other sweet flavor, well the top note is the only note here.
Next is Heavenly Tobacco: Again, it tastes nothing like tobacco. Its basically Gandalf light. Thats the best way I can describe it. Its a fairly weak flavor with very little throat hit. Its not quite as sweet as Gandalf, but thats because it tastes like Gandalf thats just diluted....
Next were the two that I thought would most likely be what I was looking for. Dark Horse and Huntsman. Huntsman and Dark Horse are advertised as "extracted tobaccos", which I assumed would mean that they should taste a LOT like tobacco. Well, once again, they didnt! Neither has a tobacco flavor at all in my opinion. They are both light flavors with low throat hit. They are different in flavor, but again, they dont taste like tobacco, which is what I expected them to taste like, and why I bought them. I cant put my finger on exactly what flavors are noticeable about these 2, but its what flavors are absent that makes it a deal breaker to me.
Now, I bought these last week, and I tried each flavor twice. The first time was the day they came in, and then after steeping for a few days I tried them again, with the same results. They are all 12mg/ml, and some may say thats the reason for light throat hit, but I got them in 70/30% Pg/Vg, and I have other 12mg juices that DO give great throat hit. They just have light flavors.
Now dont get me wrong here, these 4 flavors arent bad or terrible. The first 2 reviewed above have 'decent' flavor, its OK, but its not what I'd call "good" or great. Plus they dont taste like what they are advertised to taste like, and they are too light IMO. But as far as Huntsman and Dark Horse, I'd put them firmly at "blah". Not terrible like other juices I've tried, but not good either.
So this was yet another example of how everyone has a different opinion on flavor, as many other people love Gandalf! You cant necessarily go by other peoples' reviews....
