Ahem. I had myself a little "When Eleanor Met Gandalf" moment last night . . .


:blush::blush::blush: Yes, it's that earth-movingly good. :blink::blush:

(I'm sooo ashamed! :facepalm::laugh:)

(Now going to buy more -- much MORE!:D:D:D)

I too love Gandolf, however I believe a video review from you would be quite beneficial for the forum. :D

Eleanor, can we expect a review, or has enough been said already? What else did you get? I want to read more, more, more from you...:)

Well, um, er, here's what I posted about Gandalf on HHV's thread:

Okay, as promised I filled up a carto with my very "young" Gandalf last night . . .

Oh my.

Oh my!!!!

Mercy me!!!!!

MERCY!!!!!




I'm sorry, I've just never had an e-juice make love to me before . . . . :blush:



Ahem, is it hot in here? :blush:

(Scrambling away to website buy BIG bottles!!!)

:) :blush::blush::drool:



Gandalf simply ravished me! I really can't say anymore -- I've already said too much -- describing Gandalf is like having sex in public -- it really just shouldn't be done!! :laugh:

I'm going to order a few other flavors today, in addition to a BIG bottle of Gandalf; I also have a 15ml bottle of Monkey Mango waiting to be tasted, but I just haven't been able to tear myself away from Gandalf . . . :blush:

Now if you'll excuse us . . . :blush::laugh:

Sooooooo not gonna happen!
OK, then, can you tell us how you rate some very normal, famous flavors, so we can see if we need to overflow our organizers with yet another bottle?

I realize none of these get a 10 from you, so can you rate them 1-10 on a scale of 20? Or 30? (Yes, I know these are probably
not "natural" but they are famous, so they make good reference points. Like on Amazon: If you like Heinlein you might like David Weber.....

555 -- __________- vendor
555 --some other famous vendor
Johnson Creek Original
Tenessee -------some famous vendor
Ry4
Vanilla
Think of something else famous. Classic Tobacco?
"Red"
"Desert"
:toast:

I strongly dislike 555s. All of them! So I am definitely the wrong person to rate one. I can definitively say that Gandalf is nothing like a 555. :)

I have never tried any of Johnson Creeks juices.

The only "Tennessee" tobaccos I have had are Gold, Applewood, and Blue Ridge from Mountain Oak Vapors (only the Blue Ridge actually uses their house-extracted Tennessee Original tobacco base; the other two use their milder version of that base, called Smooth & Mild). Mountain Oak Vapors - Superior American Made Eliquid | 100% Made in the USA

I'd rate those accordingly (1-10) :):
Gold -- 9
Applewood -- 7.5
Blue Ridge -- 10



Another excellent vendor of house-extracted tobaccos is Vermillion River, which has a sub-cateogry of Kentucky Premium Blends that are extremely good. My favorite? The KPB Maplewood (scores 8 out of 10). http://VermillionRiverEJuice.com


I'm no longer a huge fan of RY4s, but I can give HHV's Heavenly Tobacco a solid 8. :) Heathers Heavenly Vapes, Top Quality Custom E-Liquids

See also Bill Herbst's excellent thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...views/193327-really-big-ry4-roundup-long.html


I'm still hunting for a truly favorite vanilla. Highbrow Vapor and NiteLiteVapor both make outstanding vanilla juices; I'm also awaiting an order of HHV's Vanilla Dream
E Cig Juice @ *_Highbrow Vapor_* - E Liquid Store, Shop our Store for Ecig Products.

http://nitelitevapor.us


Classic Tobacco: NiteLiteVapor's Twilite (9) and HHV's Gandalf (20 out of 10 :D) Gandalf is an NET; Twilite is not.


Not familiar with juices emulating "Red" (Marlboro) or "Desert" (Camel), but I was a Camel Turkish Silver smoker before I found vaping.

Sorry I can't be of more help!

So I vaped a few ml of heather's dragon fire today and it is really good. Comes up just a tad (very small bit) shy of Gandalf. If I was ordering only one bottle of juice out of the two I'd have to go With Gandalf in as big a bottle as I could afford at the time. I'm Certain I'll find myself ordering some of both before My Gandalf runs out tho.

Gandalf-10
Dragon fire- 9.999
Definitely a couple of juices to set the standard for other juices to strive for.

Thank you! I think that may be my problem, if both of the vendors use that. Which is odd, but I always have been different. Haha.

edit/ Wait, does all juice have alcohol in it?

I have also detected TA in Vermillion River's Classic Blend, as well as BWB Adirondack.

When I first started vaping, TA juices were absolutely disgusting to me, as they have that "ashtray" taste. Nowadays, I tend to enjoy it. TA is a big and bold full mouth flavor, which may be too much for some, and it was an acquired taste for me.

Not ALL juices have alcohol, but PGA or ethyl alcohol is often used as the carrier for flavors. It is one of the reasons that freshly mixed juices smell and taste like perfume. It's why many people leave their new bottles of juice uncapped for a period of time, as that allows for the alcohol to evaporate.

Click, click...boom!

Good God, no terrible/catchy rock song references please! Let's back up, breathe in, breathe out, and keep this thread Rollin'.

Due to OPs wishes I won't add another post (today) with just a reference to a...wait? What? I don't know any song like that. That's what we've said around here (since I was a kid) when someone makes a well thought out point and expresses it with authority...topic came up (and like skeet shooting), he zeroed in on it and nailed it. Luce, I get what you are suggesting, but I don't know what you are talking about, sorry. :confused:


I will edit this later.

OMG, I listened to it. hahaha. No way was that my intention. I got lost in translation...or references;). I am with ya' luce. Back to the thread I love.

Had to do it. Hard to think of the worst catchy/terrible song from around that time too.

By the way, I've had Devil Dog. It tastes exactly like Want2Vape Louisville except it's totally clean on the atty.

That's what I want to hear! Have you got any interest in Blue Grass Burley? What is the difference between their Premiums and regular tobacco extracts? I tried contacting them, but am still waiting on a response.
