Heather's Heavenly Vapes - Gandalf e-liquid review - Now known as "Legend"

Vendor: Heather's Heavenly Vapes

Juice Flavor: Gandalf - **NOTE** I'm updating this - it's now called "Legend"!

Nic Level: 12mg

PG/VG: I believe that since it is from their purity line, it is 100% vg

What Heather's Heavenly Vapes says about it:

After many reviews, we have decided to change the description of this flavor. Gandalf is an extracted pipe tobacco which is quickly gaining fame with vapers new and old. Many customers who do not like tobacco vapes, rave about Gandalf. It has qualities that go well beyond traditional tobacco vapes. For many, Gandalf has become that elusive all day vape that vapers are searching for. We'll let you make the final decision. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. This flavor is part of our Purity line. All flavor ingredients in our Purity line are propylene glycol (PG) free which is why we can offer this particular vape in your favorite PG/VG ratio including 100% organic VG if desired.

 

Testing Equipment:

Vision Vivi Nova mini 2ml tank, 2.4ohm head

i-taste set at 4.5

 

First Impressions:

This juice comes in a plastic bottle with a simple label that states only the juice name - cute purple cap though! The juice is very thin and has a pale caramel color (I'm going to assume it's a natural color since this is an organic juice.)  This juice wicked extremely well, resting time was minimal. Sniffing this juice like a fine wine reminded me of stepping into a tobacco shop with my mom as a kid.  Back in the day, my mom sold cigarettes at her establishment.  I loved walking into a tobacco shop with her and just smelling the air in there.  Sweet, pure, clean... So far, I'm pretty impressed and very excited!

 

Vaping Impressions:

I originally had my i-taste set at 3.7, which is my standard starting point.  One quick little drag (to make sure it wicked well) instantly set my taste buds into a frenzy.  I inched my way up... 3.8, 3.9... 4.3.  Each increase of my voltage increased the flavor.  The juice became sweeter and tastier.  I did stop at 4.5, which is actually pretty high for me.

After a long, gentle drag, I did a full inhale. There was a slight throat hit but it was definitely there.  Decent vapor production.  Due to the higher voltage, this was a warmer vape and it seemed to suit the juice quite well.

 

After another full inhale and slow nose/mouth exhale, I'm able to truly appreciate the flavor. Immediately, I noticed a rich, sweet tobacco flavor.  It reminds me of putting a cigarette in my mouth, puffing on it before lighting it. You know, that first cigarette out of a brand new pack?  This was even better.

 

There is a good amount of sweetness, but not overwhelmingly so.  There seems to be some undertones of chocolate and vanilla, almost earthy.  Not perfumy, not spicy. The aftertaste is clean and stays with you a little while.

 

Final Impression:

I think I'm in love.  I'm not a tobacco vaper by any means.  I do switch to a menthol tobacco on occasion when I'm in a slump, just to wake up the ol' buds again.  This can, and will be on my all day vape hit list.  Since last night, I've gone through almost 3ml.  I really, truly, honestly wish I had ordered a larger size bottle.  I didn't steep, but I think I need to order two bottles and let one steep for a bit, then try it all over again!

 

ESP gives this juice a double thumbs up!
