What did you get? I'm debating whether to order. The only ones I would definitely consider again (although some of the others are pretty good) are Dragon's Fire and Shadow. I'm not a big fan of their signature tobacco profile in Gaia, Huntsman, Dark Horse, etc. I can see the appeal, but it doesn't really agree with me. Does anyone know what tobacco HHV uses for those? Reminds me of some from BWB.

15 mls each
Heavenly Army
Shadow
Legend
Dragon's Fire
and for fun, because I love banana vapes, Vapin Chimp

I thought when I visited their store last year that I picked up Heavenly Army but I can't find it (they're about 45 minutes from me, but I wasn't going to be able to go there today, had to work and run some errands).

Great choices, IMO. Never had the Vapin Chimp, though. It's not in their Purity line, so I'm guessing not a NET? I also liked Sludge.

You're in for a treat! There's only one on your list that I am not a big fan of, but everything else is very enjoyable. Shadow and Heavenly ARMY are just so creamy. I always have a kayfun clone loaded with one or the other. Vapin' Chimp is really good as well; I recently picked up a bottle on my order last paycheck, since I had enjoyed the Georgia Peach Tobacco (both artibaccos). GPT has a stronger tobacco presence of the 2, but VC makes up for it with a touch of creaminess.

How are you liking the Vanilla Skye? Have you tried any other EVs?
I LOVE Vanilla Skye. I have more, along with Top Leaf, Eclipse, and Gold Leaf on the way. Nice mellow almost creamy????? no, but smooth tobacco, not in your face, with a hint of vanilla. I have read others get lots of vanilla, but I don't find it too much. I also love Vanilla Wild Wood from Ahlusion, but the tobacco is very different here.

pardon the typos, on my phone :)

Vanilla Skye is a nice blend with a strong vanilla that actually could replace HHV's Shadow in my rotation; I really enjoyed the balance of a strong tobacco forward with the Vanilla back end. Shadow's tobacco notes play more like pastry than tobacco, which is good, but sometimes that fuller tobacco flavor just needs to be savored ;)

I got lots of vanilla from Skye, much more than Top Leaf. Did you find that it got a little thick and sludgy towards the bottom of the Evod? You're in for a treat with Eclipse. I'm blowing through my bottle pretty fast. I can't wait to try Midnite Lite and maybe Butterscotch Bliss, but I'm waiting for a new coupon code (ahem).

Which one are you not a fan of, out of curiosity?

Not any more than other NETs I have tried (granted, not that many), but I also rebuild my coils and clean them often regardless. I am looking forward to Eclipse. I loved Clay's Black Cavendish, so I am hoping it is as or almost as good. I also mentioned to Vash that although I love a nice Turkish, the "nutty" in his description of Nomad kind of put me off; I don't seem to like "nutty" tobaccos. He said he would include a few mls in my order. Looking forward to all of them; all I have tried so far is the Vanilla Skye I got as a sample.

Yes, another coupon code would be nice. Gold Leaf is on special this week, $6 instead of $7. I had ordered some already, but was able to use the NEW10 coupon code. And buy 3 bottles get a free 12ml bottle.

BTW, for Ahlusion fans - 20% automatically taken off your order this weekend! Well, it worked for me :unsure:

I picked that up last weekend and it arrived this week, along with Butterscotch Bliss, Eclipse and Top Leaf. Tried the Butterscotch Bliss - not tasting much of the butterscotch yet - so will revisit it in a few weeks.

Just loaded up some non tobacco I got as a sample from TPR, Black Cherry Cream Soda, because it smelled so good, but not sure yet if I'm a fan. Glad to have gotten a free sample thrown in (not asked for), so I can at least try it. It just got here yesterday, so maybe it will benefit from a steep as well.

Anyone tried Ahlusions ARO Smokin Cherries? I picked that up mid week and it should be here Monday. Interested in a few more, but thought I should try this one first. BTW, Ahlusion has 20% off this weekend, which has me tempted to pick up a few more of their ARO's. Discount applied automatically at check out - one time use.

Now's a good time to check out the NET PIF thread, especially the last 3 posts ;)

Yeah, there are liquids just sitting there waiting to be PIFed or traded.

If those MOV were in 9mg instead of 24mg I would be all over that post. However, if frogs had wings. . . and all of that jazz.

On another topic. The juice shaking advice I got yesterday is paying off in spades. I am really liking the Italia even more now. There is a much more toasted taste. I am getting hints of something new, it may be cocoa. Definitely a better experience and not nearly as "subtle: as I first thought.

Yeah, I figured that a a lot of the nicotine preferences causes stagnation in trades.

On shaking: I wonder if a milk frother would expedite the "steeping" process?

I watched a video yesterday of a guy to uses 3 strands of kanthal connected to a drill. He uses it to mix/speed steep his juice. I also have seen that people use a little mixer to mix.
