Just had a look at HOLs site and it seems a bit pricey. How much does shipping to UK work out at if you're below the free shipping order? Ps (off topic) I noticed grant's custard site is out of stock. Anyone know any details? -Powered by Android- It works out about £22 delivered for 60 mil. I don't think that is pricey. Very reasonable in my opinion. |

Just tried Triphammers Puros Santa Clara, very nice juice but not getting the full tobacco flavour I get from HOL Perique and Reserve. I will let it steep for another week and try it again. I think I will order some more though it's very nice.

scotsman decoy I got my cotton wool from Boots just look for the Botanics organic type its not with the other types of cotton wool in the store, it tastes fine i recoil/rewick for myself & 4 others & none of us has noticed any taste other than the juice we are vaping. This is what I use I bought them after trying Tesco Baby cotton wool balls which tasted horrible. The Boots Botanics work great. |

Yinyang
I tend to keep my HOL stuff for the evening or when I am enjoying a drink as I really like the extra strength on those occasions. I found the Reserve and Perique strong at first.. I will generally use something else during the day when I am at work. Good to see your enjoying them. I was going to order some Eden so it's interesting to hear what you think of it, I think I will wait now as I am not a big fan of sweet juices.

Yinyang Have you received your liquids yet? I will be interested to see what you think of them. I couldn't resist and have just ordered 60 mil of Minataur to try. Yes, I received them yesterday ... very fast delivery indeed. As I usually make my own eliquid which I steep for at least 4 weeks and having not bought "shop" eliquid in almost a year, I emailed HoL to clarify their opinion on further steeping and was advised to open the bottles and let them steep for at least a few days in a cool dark place to get the best from them. I will probably let them steep for a week or two before trying them as I am in no great hurry and I am used to having patience when it comes to steeping. I will let you know how I get on with them but if the aroma from them is anything to go by, I reckon I am in for a real treat.  You have more will power than me Yinyang, I just received my 60 mil of Minataur today gonna try it tomorrow on a dripper. Have you joined the In Private Club so you can add the free samples to your orders? I received a Frozen Apple and a Chivalry to try along with the Minataur. |

Minataur is a very nice one ...but it will gunk up your coils really quickly. Got a couple of cheap drippers from Totally Wicked especially for it. Looking forward to trying it. Sloppyvape I see your just down the road from me in Rugby. |

I agree I think that their prices for 60 mil for the quality of the juice are really good.

Thank you for the comments . Scaffman69 I will certainly give Trip hammers a go. As most of you have realised I am fairly new to the vaping game and my reviews were really geared to people like myself who are becoming a little bit disillusioned with the so called tobacco flavour liquids that taste nothing like tobacco and thinking of going back to the stinkies. I can say that after having discovered HOL it has totally satisfied my craving for an authentic taste and I haven't had a cigarette in 2 mths. If it seems like I am bigging them up this is why. I would be nice to have 3 yrs vaping behind me and the luxury of having tried load of different stuff but as yet this isn't the case. Cheers.

Are there any other tobacco liquids that can compare to the House of Liquids. This stuff is amazing, Below is a quick rundown of the stuff I have tried.
Reserve
Rich tobacco with a hint of brandy. My personal favourite at the mo.
Perique
Really dark tobacco taste perfect for me to enjoy with a glass of good red wine.
Cigarillos
Tobacco with a hint of dark chocolate. Not as strong as the above but still really nice.
Puros
Not as keen on this tastes ok but reminds me of biscuits and seems dry to me.
Guevara
Similar to Reserve but without the brandy. Really nice flavour.
Cinnamon Cookies.
Strong flavour if you like cinnamon not for me.
The only other liquid I have tried that compares in quality so far is Dr Stanley Clarke's Snake Oil this is my go to when I feel like a change from HOL.
I have also tried most of the Darkstar range and Hangsen Instrument but I find anything I try just doesn't even come close to the quality and price for the HOL stuff.
This is just my opinion and I know everyone's tastes are different. I would welcome any suggestions for tobacco flavours that can compare to HOL for me to try.
As the title says in my opinion if you like tobacco flavours so far for me the HOL is in a different class.

Welcome and well done for getting off the stinkies. I am in a similar situation having taken up vaping 6 weeks ago. I was also getting cravings at first yearning for a real tobacco taste until I ordered some e-liquids from House of Liquid for me they give the most authentic tobacco taste I have tried. I now use these when having a drink which is when I used to get the worst cravings. My favourites so far are Perique and Reserve order some you won't regret it.
