Just for the record, RY4 was not designed to replicate Ruyan 4. It was sort of in the same direction as a tobacco blend with some sweeter non-tobacco flavorings, but it was its own creature from its spontaneous and ad hoc beginning. The juice that Ludo (a Janty owner) and the Dekang flavor chemist created that day in 2007 in the lab of a Dekang production facility was named Ruyan 4---which was then shortened to RY4---as an homage to the Ruyan Company for its pioneering efforts in ecigs. The "4" part of RY4 came from the fact that the juice that Ludo and the Dekang chemist settled on as "perfect" was the fourth version they tried that day.
And no, I wasn't vaping back when Ruyan 4 existed, so I never vaped any of that legendary juice. I've read posts by one or two vapers who had it way back when, but Ruyan 4 was pretty much gone from the scene by 2010, as the juice market grew and Ruyan moved toward hardware only and quit making the original four juices in their line-up (Ruyan 1-4).
OK, now we're getting into thread hijack territory. I'm going to stop...
