I have a pending I130 (just recently filed) but i also have a current 10-year Multiple Tourist Visa. I had visited US since 2014 for four (4) times and always going back home. My question, do you think i will still be allowed to enter Hawaii for a seven (7) day vacation? I have no intention of overstaying as i don't want to jeopardize my pending I130. But there's a heresay that once there's a filed I130, you can no longer enter USA.

Of course you can visit on your already valid tourist visa. Don't listen to rumors but do listen to facts. 

Just be truthful to the CBP at the POE and you will be fine. You do not need anything else other than what you took last time.

Like the others have said, you can certainly enter on a valid tourist visa. Don't volunteer any information, but if asked answer truthfully about the pending I130. I would suggest having some things to show that you plan to return home after your vacation, including already purchased return tickets, perhaps a letter of employment showing you have a job to get back to, etc. You may not need those, but it's good to have incase the officer wants to inquire further.
