Serendipity is the nectar of the gods. Gandalf is the nectar of the demigods.

Okay, a little more specific. Serendipity just tastes "richer", like all the notes of flavor are more fully fleshed out. Gandalf is lighter in texture and appearance, as well as flavor. It has a slightly sweeter and fruitier aspect to it. It does not have the deep coffee/tea/chocolate base notes of Dipity.

I hope someone else chimes in because it is no secret that Dipity is my favorite e-liquid flavor of all, and the one I would rescue from my burning home. I'm a little biased on the matter;)

Scarf-ace,

How would you compare Serendipity to Dragon's Fire? Because minus the "tea," your assessment is similar to my comparison of Gandalf and Dragon's Fire. Mind you, I love Gandalf, but DF is a bit richer.

I'm interested to hear as well. Ive never tried dipity (ive got some on the way) but that's my perception of dragons fire as well

Serendipity is great for a wake up juice and I start my day with it. Love the coffee tones. Then I switch to HT while at work. I find it sweeter and love the vanilla/(hazelnut?) taste. Then I'll switch to Gandalf in the evenings cause it definitely seems lighter and works after a heavy meal. Also I'll vape more at night and don't want to overload the newly awakened taste buds. Sometimes in the evenings I'll switch off to Pirates Booty for a change of pace. Also will use Boba"s Bounty.

I like the Huntsman - a lot. Vaping through my bottle of steeped Gandalf, and it is... OK. I think I prefer a stronger flavor then Gandalf. Serendipity is next.

Same here I liked the huntsman better. I never heard of Serendipity, I gotta try it now!

Dragon's Fire is more complex than Serendipity. DF has more of a creamy vanilla spice to it.

Dang, I have 5 30ml bottles of tobacco juice coming in from HHV today (my first order from them), and now this thread pops up, LOL! ... gotta.... try 'em...... ALL....... NOW!!!

I know the feeling. It was even worse when I had a self-imposed: "do not try until they steep for 3 weeks" rule. I think I'll make that 2 weeks for my next order.

Oh I definitely don't have that much control! I can guarantee you that I'll drip taste all of them immediately and fill at least half a bottom feeder bottle with each flavor. The rest will steep as I sample, haha! Maybe I could wait if I had a stock of some other good juice, but I'm not loving what I have left - it's just getting me by until my HHV arrives. I foresee getting nic sick in my near future! lolololol

what actually happened when you refilled your tank there was a microscopic wizard was hiding just outside your atomizer. He was wielding a staff and large sword screamed "YOU SHALL NOT PASS" and the liquid you put in your bottle was automagically transformed into gandalf juice.

Hmm... I've only tried Gandalf so far. It's good, but I'm hoping for something better. I just placed an order for Serendipity, Dragon's fire, Shadowfax, Heavenly Tobacco, Huntsman, Pirate's Bounty, Oompa, and non tobaccos Blade Runner and Vanilla Dream (which I've had and usually mix with other flavors). I'm going to have a hard time waiting for them to steep, but with 270 ml coming, at least some of each flavor should last until they've matured. I'm still considering getting an ultrasonic cleaner to speed steep so I don't have to wait as long for the flavor to develop, though. Patience is a virtue I lack.

I've got some more on the way..heavenly; SF; hunts ; PB ; dipity ; DH and blueberry muffin. I've been vaping gandalf ; blade ; gollum and DF like a madman! DF is my clear fav right now. I'm mostly looking forward to blueberry muffin oddly enough as I clearly enjoy tobacco flavors most. Might anyone care to share their thoughts on it?

I had a sample of it a month or so ago. It was good, if a bit sweet. Probably good for a treat now and then, but not an all day vape. I didn't let it steep, though.
