CliveAll 3 are vague expressions, with no big difference.Why do you think they are vague? Aren't they clear adverbs which refers to that incident will happen in minutes or seconds?

pretty soon
quite soon
very soon
I see no big difference here.
You might argue that 'very' is more, than 'pretty' or 'quite', but remember that some people overstate and some peope understate.
