At first it was an all day thing for me, but now it is a special occasion thing. It is good when drinking cause it can cut through the alcohol, whereas most juices are lost on the spirits!
Devil Dog is the going out on the town juice~
I haven't read this whole thread (it's way the heck too long to do that). So, some of these may have already been mentioned.
I have 5 (well, one whole group and four).
1) Any tobacco from want2vape.com
2) Johnson Creek Silverthorn
3) Oddly, Aces & 8s from Vapor4Life. Has a very satisfying tobacco taste to me. A bit cigar like, but very unique.
4&5) Tobacco-Cowboy and Tobacco Extravaganza from Liquid Dream. Unbelieveably tasty tobaccos! These are Romanian juices that I got hooked up with here on ECF. You can PM member "matrixxu" in regards to his juices. His name is Raul and a very friendly and good guy he is. The ordering process is a little work, but VERY well worth it.
Thanx

Wooo! Another esoteric, hard to find juice. I am so there.
And yes I am predictable.

Vendor: Heather's Heavenly Vapes
Juice: Jiggy, shipped 19 October, received and opened 31 October
Equipment: Smoktech Dual-Coil Cartomizer on Ego-Twist battery at 4v
Thoughts: This is so unlike HHV's other tobaccos as to be momentarily startling. None of the rich sweetness of Serendipity, Dark Horse, Shadowfax, etc. This has more in common with shisha than a pipe or a cigarette. I totally get why Heather call this "floral" but it isn't floral in the way you're probably worried about: not perfumey or air-freshener-ish. Think nectar, or a particularly fruity honey. The nose of the liquid in the bottle is, as has been said elsewhere, reminiscent of gummy bears
but the overall flavor is more natural and less candylike. Amazingly it manages to accomplish this without being too sweet, although it is noticeably and pleasantly sweet. If you gave this to someone who didn't know it was a tobacco, they probably wouldn't guess. Even knowing that it is a NET I can really only detect it when I really concentrate: as a fixative that prevents this ethereal flavor from floating away on the first breeze.
I can really see this becoming enjoyable in the hot weather coming up, when I might not be in the mood for my customary heavier 'baccos, but I don't want a straight fruit vape either. Very very pleasant and I look forward to seeing it develop with steeping.
EDITED TO ADD a probably dubious late-night epiphany: you know how some Subcontinental and Middle Eastern desserts are flavored with rosewater or orange flower water? This is kind of like that but not as rich/milky.

Thanks for the Jiggy review, Scarf! I've been particularly curious to hear more about that one.
I have some Jiggy that's about 10 days old. I'll probably be busting into it this weekend. scarf has me really interested now. I can say for sure that "gummy bears on the nose" is definitely accurate.
LOL! While "gummy bears on the nose" isn't something that sounds particularly appealing to me (especially when we're talking tobaccos), this juice has piqued my curiosity. As far as I know, it's the only shisha NET out there. It's nice to see a little more experimentation with NETs (like GeJ's and Quick Nic's new menthols), and although many of them may or may not sound appealing to me, it suggests that NETs are gaining a bit more of a foothold in the market.

I would surely recommend a 6ml bottle of Jiggy with your next HHV top-up. Even if it doesn't work out for you it is definitely interesting.
I'm scared as hell to vape Jiggy. I get nausiated just thinking about floral.
It's the last of the HHV nets for me. I avoided it as long as I could.
You like Serendipity?
I liked the Serendipity I had that was labeled Gandalf, I haven't tried Serendipity labeled Serendipity yet, but I have some. Confused yet?

Nope! I follow completely, though I wish that you could've tried Gandalf #1. Maybe you can put it out there that Gandalf #1 is supposed to be the original bomb diggy, and that was the one that originally was written about. . . though I can't remember who was writing about it?
Seriously though, I am sure Heather and Adam would do it again.
The Gandalf I have right now, labeled Gandalf, is supposed to be the original Gandalf, but apparently Gandalf is one tricky fellow, so I don't know for sure.
hmmmm...the original? There was an original Gandalf, but the original Gandalf that was the original is not the original that is sold now. No, not the remix to the second original named Serendipity, but the original before the new original. Ya dig?
I never had the original original, so I understand what you're saying, but I can't relate.
The one I have now is obviously a pipe tobacco, sweet, almost candy like, with hints of cherry. Which one is that?

That's the original, but not the original. The original , was not obviously a pipe tobacco unless you were luce. The original was what I raved about and was sending everybody and their nephews samples of (and also starting threads about). The original that is being sold now is fine, but it ain't the original.
p.s. I bet someone is reading this wishing we would just go back to acronyms already!
p.s.2 Basically, the first Gandalf had a lower volume of extract, but in retrospect, it was perfect. I am sure someone will read this and wonder how less of the good stuff could make it better, but it was. Also, that is the reason why I used to proclaim that it didn't "need" steep time -- I was referring to a different juice, essentially.

Just to confizzle matters even more... Yesterday's HHV order contained a full size Serendipity and a sample of Gandalf.
They smell identical, no cherry in either one.

Serendipty is Gandalf, but it ain't necessarily -- it's a serendipitous version. Gandalf is not the Gandalf of old either, but maybe I will contact Adam to see if we can complete the trifecta. Hey, worse case scenario is they sell more Gandalf! hahahaha.
p.s. While I do understand the "cherry" notes GT is talking about, I don't exactly equate the two.
