What are you Aging? and How are you aging it?

[Calve]

naw... just want to make some really nice juice for myself and a few interested in trying mine... but untill I have something very worthwhile, Ill just abuse Retic with samples..

Feel free to abuse me too BK! I get down to NOLA all the time. Was just there for a huge oyster festival a couple weeks ago. Pure gluttony.

hmmm lets see...
Vanilla Cigar, 3 Cherry Pipe, and Chocolate Pipe steeping at the moment.... gonna filter them soon and start the aging process...
the vanilla and 3 cherry smell fantastic this morning... gonna check things out when I get home...

 

[Bunnykiller]

So far I have only tried the Cherry Bomb (extra) flavor but have a handful of NETs on the way. What I have noticed after the initial decap time its very cherry of course with that slight crème note as described. Right around the 2 week mark the cherry comes to a peak. By week 3 the crème note comes to a peak, week 4 the flavors start to fade slightly. I keep running out at the 4 week mark. Need to double order my next order so I can see past that. Still my all day. Still better than anything I have ever vaped. Those NETs will provide a wonderful distraction so I can age my next order.

Yep, steeping is much easier when your inventory gets ahead of the game.

Since the 3 Cherry was so tasty, I started a new batch... also got an oz of Honey maple to try out, hope it turns out well.
and I still have Legend, Temptation and PB in the book case getting happy...

 

[Bunnykiller]

filtered the 3 Cherry and Honey Maple and have them reducing at the moment.... and the Honey Maple is smelling really good.... think I need to send Hula a sample

80mg/ml is as high as I will go.... that 100mg/ml is a bit harsh

Let's see...

From May's order, we have Maple Eh?, Gaia and Georgia Peach Tobacco .

And from June's order there's Huntsman, Pirate's Booty, Heavenly Tobacco, Sweet Swish and Adam's Apple.

As to how they are ageing? Slowly, in the fridge.

got some more 100VG in and planning on making up several 100ml size bottles of the Rum, Honey Maple, Honey Island, 3 Cherry and maybe a straight Cigar.... good to have plans for sunday

I am glad to hear about the age/steep factor. I have ordered from HHV for the first time. I have not received my order yet. All of my flavors were tobacco, except one, that would be Vanilla Dream. I had planned to give them a whirl when they got here, then age them more. So far my two favorite juices are Boba's Bounty, and Black Bear. I did not age either one. They were good from the get go, to me. Sure I bet they are better over time. But I have only been vaping since Oct 31st...so I don't have a large stock to have time to steep. (I am working on that though) I did order 200ml of Boba's Bounty, so I could age some of it. It is getting better over time, no doubt. Would people recommend I not try it when it gets here then? I guess my main loves are the tobacco flavors, since I seem to prefer them. I also like Vanilla, Clove, and Coconut. I saw the HHV website, and those flavors just looked awesome to me, from the descriptions. I have always wanted a sweet pipe tobacco flavor. (not cheap, but sweet...lol..there is a difference)

You're good to go with the samples right away. While you're trying those out the rest can "age" ( caps off 24 hours etc...).
By the time you're done with those the rest will be close enough to start enjoying.

Good luck!

How are you liking those, KKay?
I'm thinking Pirate's Booty might come close to that sweet pipe tobacco you were looking for. Of course, Legend or Sludge might do it too.
Vape 'em till you like 'em!


ETD: Don't think you got them yet - my bad. Let us know how you like them when they do come in.

I'm not really ageing anything, it's all in rotation being vaped.

Things have changed some since my last post here:

Last of the Gaia is in the BigBuddha/Panzer I know, but savouring the last couple ml.

The rest of the HHV juices have been put on the back burner, so to speak, as I taste test some new samples and reunite with some old favs from NET.com.

Here's what's left:
Huntsman & Maple Eh? have been blended to make Maple Huntsman Eh? (50ml left).
Still have about 40ml of Georgia Peach Tobacco.
And maybe 60ml of Pirate's Booty
Adam's Apple maybe 20ml
Sweet Swish almost 25ml
Strawberry Lemonade 15ml

From NET.com we'll start with the smallest samples and work our way up.

5ml bottles:
The Boss (gone)
Mocha Cafe' (gone)
Deep Caramel Pipe & the last 10 drops of Orange Blossom Honey, simmering in the KFMini. Num, num.

10ml bottles:
Black Cherry (gone)
Bourbon-Seasoned (5ml)
N-E-T Custom "Smoked Leaf" (1ml?)

15ml bottles:
Chris' Blend (5ml)
Balkan (15ml)

60ml bottles:
Black Cavendish (55ml)
Cognac Infused (40ml)
Rum Rebellion (55ml)

Last, but definitely not least, we have about 40ml of BunnyKiller's, Rum Tobacco, which is also kind of ageing in the wings.

For what it's worth, there you have my entire stash setting on, or in my vape station desk.
