One was a strawberry watermelon - very good

The ones I have ordered from Heather are Cherry Bomb, Cinful Pear, Blueberry Muffin, Vapin' Chimp, and Butter Rum.

I suspect that Butter Rum and Vapin' Chimp will be mixed together if I decide to get gourmet about it! LOL

I sampled 4 flavors today:

1) Tobacco flavor - OMG disgusting!

2) Clove - heavenly

3) Cappuccino - pretty good

4) Mocha Frap - pretty good

Going to look at Heather's also. They operate out of Newnan! That's not far from me. Black tea sounds really, really good!

I favor tobacco flavor, but it needs to steep. Depending where you get it from anywhere from 1 week to 1 month.

My absolute favorite tobacco flavor is HHV's Legend... mmmmm

Hi Loren,

The tobacco flavor are cartomizers, not a bottle of the liquid. Do they still need to steep or set for a bit? I got all of my starter supplies at vapor4life.

I'm looking at Heather's liquids now...do they tell you how long each liquid should steep or is there a standard time to steep for all of their products?

Oh, pre-filled cartomizers, sorry, I don't know if they steep or not. The ones I got with my Apollo starter kit were very good, but those/that brand were the only prefilled I got. I went to filling my own pretty quickly.

I don't recall seeing any steeping times on my HHV order. I just steep everything a minimum of a week (tobaccos and coffee more). I have enough juice that I can do that. Of course sometimes I'm left with a meh flavor while waiting for something yummy to steep, but it's a good lesson in patience.

Loren,

If a juice has not steeped long enough, how will you know? I understand the flavor will become more rich or complex with steeping, but is there a way or ways to tell if it has not steeped enough? For example, when reading some of the liquid reviews, some said they tasted like soap when they first tried them.

I wanted to give a short review of this website and products so far.

The website does not explain equipment well if you want to know the model type e-cig you are purchasing. This will become important if you want to upgrade and/or purchase parts like cartomizers/atomizers from a different vendor. What will happen is the threading on the battery will be constructed to fit certain parts and if the threading is different, you can't attach new pieces.

This website seems geared toward those who want a low-maintenance vaping experience, who do not wish to tinker with their equipment or delve too deeply into the vaping world (i.e. people who just want to use this as an adjunct to quit smoking or the recreational vaporer). They have the site set up fairly well and in a way not requiring you to know what you are doing before you start ordering. They do provide information that explains details somewhat, so you are not totally lost, but you will have to visit other websites if you want to really jump in. I think this site is focused on those who want to quit smoking.

So far, I have received 2 separate email coupons for a 40% discount on anything on their website not on clearance/sale. While it's an effective/smart business practice on their part to maintain loyal customers, it's also helpful for me and it's appreciated. They also sent 2 free flavored cartomizers with my start-up kit (which is standard practice in the industry from what I am reading to say 'thank you' for your business). This is appreciated because that gives me 2 extra cartomizers and the opportunity to try flavors I may not purchase on my own accord.

This is a guess on my part, having only sampled their juices so far, but I think their juices are not the best out there. They have a decent selection, but the flavors are simple, not complex, and you only have 1 size available - 30ml bottles. I personally like this because with 6 bottles, I will be set for a while. Even if the flavor is not great, I will tolerate it until I reorder more. Their website does have customer reviews of the liquids and a range from 0-36mg of nicotine for most flavors.

The battery comes with a 90-day warranty. This is okay compared to some other vendors. I have seen warranties up to 1 year. I don't anticipate a problem, but if one arises, then a 3 month window is not great, but likely adequate. I did read product reviews before purchasing from them and feel confident I made a decent choice. They also have a 30-day money back guarantee.

I have not utilized customer service/support yet, so I don't know how this rates.

I would say this website is pricier than other vendors also. If you take the time to research other vendors, you can get equipment for less. But, they have some nifty battery models like an all-day battery and a battery that allows you to adjust the vapor level, if that is a desired. They also have new batteries that do not have the light-up LED tip that mimics a lit cigarette. It has a closed tip, and it comes in different patterns.

I have a question for vaporers who have been doing this a while:

When you smoke a cigarette, you puff/inhale until the cigarette has burned to the butt, or at least I do most of the time. Vaping is different, or has been for me so far. Where I would smoke a full cigarette and feel satisfied for a while, I have experienced an urge to vape one time, but frequently. So, a different pattern is set with the e-cig. I don't know what factors contribute to this. It could be the nicotine level is not high enough. It could be the loss of satisfaction of continually smoking a full cigarette. It could be the lack of other chemicals from cigarettes that contribute to my addiction to nicotine because I do think those other ingredients in cigarettes strengthen your addiction. It may be a combination of all 3.

Does this sound familiar?
