ROFL! LUCE! TMI! :laugh:
Look ladies! A MAN who washes his hands!!!!! Yeaaaa!
Thanks guys for the encouragement! No offense was taken Nick. Getting on here and interacting really helps. vaping also helps because it keeps me occupied rather than driving my wife crazy!!

Going to try the Fire Cured in a second. First I gotta flush and wash my hands......

Great to know you finally got the correct diagnosis Luce. It's a physical/genetic problem for most folk just like strep throat or the shingles, but no-one gives you flowers and sympathy. With depression for example, all i saw was the back of people's shoes on fire and kicking up a dust storm as they fled to the exit sign. Again with the right medicine and the emotional support of those who love you, you are back on the road again. As to the other fair-weather so-called "friends" Phhhhhhbbbbbbbbt. Pure chaff. So happy to hear all is good.

It's actually a product of my spinal meningitis and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) from when a mosquito bit me as a child. Doctors gave up, told my parents I would be dead. When I survived, they told my parents I would be mentally handicapped the rest of my life so my parents were preparing to take care of me up to their deaths. I went to a special preschool for physically and mentally handicapped children. Miracle after miracle happened and I graduated high school with over a 4.0 and finished a four year university degree in two years with a 3.89.

And yes, earlier I was taking a #2. Everybody poops!!

Exactly! same thing happened to an aunt of mine, but this was way back in the 50's and while she survived, tragically she never was right afterwards. Way to go - and thanks for a terrific thread too.

Poop? Who said "poop" All I saw was a man 'fessing up to washing his hands! Wow!
:D

Might have to be a NET weekend. I just wrapped a fresh coil, wasn't happy with the last one but wanted to wait till I had time.

Loaded up some Wrangler Light (only seven days old) breaking in the coil (right now 3.8 volts) at about 2.3 ohms. So far this has the strongest taste of GeJ's I have tried, which I really like.

Gonna revape some Natural Perique, Arcadian Gold and Vita Bella this weekend to freshen my memory on the taste of them, they are about 2 weeks or so old.

I remember the Vita Bella is naturally sweet, but perique and gold seem to have similar tastes to wrangler, to my taste buds. Gotta try them tomorrow and see if I notice differences.

Wish I was good at describing flavors, but that ability is not one I possess.

Also, it is not NET but their High Octane is really good.

EDIT: O and I forgot also samples of QNJ of habanna daydream, original tobacco, grandpas nightcap, and fired in georgia to try, steeped about 8 days. Good thing it is a long weekend :vapor:

after all the hype, a bit disappointed

correct Hulamoon, I had nothing to reference so I just ordered by name and took what they sent ... next time I will order Gandalf #1, original original ... I hope there is enough clamor for it that they return to the recipe everyone seemed to love so much

I hope that another week or 2 of aging will calm down the Cherrydalf, that was totally unexpected ... on first inhale I immediately thought dark fruit, plum, prune, maybe even raisins, something complex, but no it is definitely just cherry, so far

Ok so I have been growing tired of the sweet desert type juices and started craving something strong and tobacco like. So after reading this forum, I just had to order from 2 vendors

Goodjuice: Bella Vita - this juice is awesome - smokey taste with ahint off something I can't seem to pin down but it slightly sweetens the juice...I will be ordering more and trying other tobacco flavors too

HHV: Gandalf and dragons fire: lives uo to the hype....I love this stuff the best tobacco/dessert vape ever...

I noticed people mentioning different types of gandalfs. One I ordered over two months prior was great, the last tank I used had steeped for almost two months. I have another 30 ml here that shipped on 10-15-2012 and just tried it today. Not sure if it is because it hasn't steeped as long but I don't think I notice as much of the pipe tobacco which is kinda disappointing.

I saw posts of people mentioning when ordering putting in the Type they wanted, is there a way to order with just straight NETs?

I love your description of Vita Bella! Even though I know what is in VB (I love telling people that), it does not make it any less mysterious--actually, it makes it more mysterious! You are very close. Heck, I thought it was like 5 flavors in there.

That's all that it is. There is no additional "flavors" added, though there seems to be discrepancies with how much of the extract they put in it. Your best bet is to ask them to send you small samples of Gandalf with varying amounts of the Gandalf extract. That may seem like a lot to go through, but I think the juice is worth getting right. At some point, HHV may want to get a handle on the QC of that (should be) award winnng juice.

Really, there is only nets in their juice? That is pretty surprising. Have you tired serendipity? Wondering if it would be just best to go with that as it was described as having a longer extraction process, and I really like heavy/strong flavors.

The only juices that I know for sure that they say is strictly tobacco are: Gandalf (and it's variant Serendipity), Huntsman, Dark Horse, Pirate's Booty and Dragon's Fire. Dragon's Fire and Pirate's Booty are the hardest for me to believe, but I can't speak on what could possibly be in it. I have ventured a thought about the semantics of their assertion about "just tobacco": a tobacco can be pre-infused with other flavors that of course would then be released into the juice. I may be wrong, I may be right, but it is really just something I pulled out of my own head (or HHV may think I pulled it out of somewhere else. :laugh:).

I wanted to add this: Based on their filtration AND the fact that they use some really exotic tobaccos, some of which I had never even heard of, their NETs will not taste like anything else out there. It wasn't until I started researching some of the tobaccos they use that I began to understand (slightly). Either which way, NOBODY is making juices that taste like those, NET or not. In the end, I think originality is where HHV is triumphant!

Dragons Fire was quite interesting for me. Initially I tasted tobacco, after it steeped and for many weeks after I tasted straight tea/flower (only way I can describe it). Not sure why. It does make sense though if they are using different kinds of tobacco there are different flavors. With Gandalf when I first tried it I tasted chocolate, as it steeped I tasted more of the tobacco.

Next ordered I will be getting some serendipity to try. Their flavors are intersting now that I have tried other NETs. Vaping Wrangler Light from GeJ which I am REALLY enjoying.

Yeah, now when you want to leave the exotic and get down to some familiarity, Wrangler Lite has this way of just hitting the spot! I got that and Fire Cured right in front of me (and in the atty). Those juices are as comfortable and easy going as my favorite pair of socks! Both of those juices go well with my coffee--and I don't even care to vape with or have a juice pair well with coffee.

If the Gandalf that you have was received between ~Aug 6th - Sept 26th you most likely have Serendipity.

Hmmm fire cured. May sound silly, but does it have any peppery/spice to it? Interested in trying it, and may pick up some when I am passing through there again if it is a good tobacco like wrangler, but not if there is other flavors to it if that makes sense.

I know it shipped on 10-15 so I think it isn't that, but surprised that it has less strength to the tobacco flavor unless I do need to let it sit so long as I got use to the well steeped.

FC doesn't have a peppery or spice to it to me but does have a could old tobacco kick...finally got my nova's back running and hitting it now and its definately a winner.Wrangler lite enjoyed as much but out of it now:(

I received mine on 10/15. This juice does seem to take longer to mature vs the other HHV juices that I've tried.
