So after four months of madly mixing and vape testing this and that to arrive at my current 8 Hangsen flavor rotation, I realized I'M DESPERATELY NEEDING TO VAPE 7 LEAVES!

Yes, that 7 Leaves I bought a bottle of with my starter kit day one. A week later I bought another 10ml of premixed 7 leaves and then explored other flavors with online ordering, stalking mailman, mixing, updating e-calculator, mixing some more, and vape testing madness began.

I love 7 Leaves, but isn't it made by Flavor Art? I mix it at 2%, and it's perfect on its own, the closest I have come to a real tobacco taste. If HS also makes a 7 Leaves, I'd love to know where I could find it.

Thanks Danny

I read someone tried it at 10% and It was not strong enough

Glad I posted the question now.

I'll start a 7%

5 - 7% is the average that most use. If your taste buds are burned out like mine are by several decades of smoking then it's always better to start low and work up if needed.

My Highway mix ended up at 9% after starting at 5%. I'm now adding a couple of drops of Black Fire after finding that flavor way too strong of beef jerkey effect to vape alone.

Mixed Highway with a few drops of Black Fire over weekend. Vaped it today and that jerkey/liquid smoke coming through with a very burnt taste on new coil - this is BS. Highway is VERY GOOD but I can't see where this steak liquid smoke flavor fits in with my tobaccos. Strange how my mind works as I'd be accepting of fruity flavors added to a tobacco but this Slim Jim flavor does not fit ANY TOBACCO I'd want to vape. My Highway returns to the beautiful 9% all day vape it can be.

While taste may be subjective, this is one of those flavors that can accurately be described, as Sdh mentioned above, 'Liquid Smoke'. For those who've tasted and smelled liquid smoke in a bottle, this Black Fire is the closest thing to it. I refer to bottled liquid smoke for cooking. They need to update all product descriptions with this note versus "smokey". I read so many reviews suggesting it was very smokey and one guy I thought was nutso describing beef jerkey all day vape. My old Marlboro reds were "smokey" to me without hints of a frickin' steak or tub of beef jerky nearby. Was like sticking my head in a outdoor meat smoker. While aroma is heavenly, who wants their lungs full of that? Accompanied by nearby campfire on a downstream windy day. Ugh....:nah:

In the trash that one goes as I don't care what it might evolve into over time. My steak/meat belongs on a plate not in my frickin' smoke. Ugh... Groseness....

My recent Hangsen Pipe effort evolved into 10% and loving this. Will add it to my Hangsen flavor rotation. While not a HS flavor, this order of HS flavors included TFA 7 Leaves. This is day 3 of 7 Leaves all day vaping. Love It To Death! Oh what a beautiful thing this is. Yeah!

Has anyone suggested a sweet spot percentage for HS Pipe? Was your first impression weak or strong flavor? My current tobaccos sit around 7 to 9%.

So after four months of madly mixing and vape testing this and that to arrive at my current 8 Hangsen flavor rotation, I realized I'M DESPERATELY NEEDING TO VAPE 7 LEAVES!

Yes, that 7 Leaves I bought a bottle of with my starter kit day one. A week later I bought another 10ml of premixed 7 leaves and then explored other flavors with online ordering, stalking mailman, mixing, updating e-calculator, mixing some more, and vape testing madness began. So last night ordered Pipe & 7 Leaves by RTS to mix a big ole' bottle of the stuff.

But still wondering what ya'll thought of Pipe for flavor or tobacco strength if any.

I have thrown a bunch of different flavors at the HS Pipe Tobacco and it seems to compliment them all. I had one mix early in this thread where I added several additional flavors to it including bacon. The Pipe always shined through. I find it very user friendly.

I have all toll 10 HS tobaccos. Something that became very noticeable to me was after the flavor bottle sat for a few months it became stronger. I was using 7 or 8 percent but now down to 4 or 5 with the same result. Anyone else have this experience? Also, have noticed a change in color with some bottles. I am fine with it since I have to use less percentages and the flavors are still outstanding.

Enjoying HS Pipe again this evening. Good stuff.

john333, I'm pleased to hear you've noticed flavor strengthen over the months and even lowering flavor percentages. Within this thread a couple of members agreed the flavors weakened over time. I personally don't mix more than 30ml at a time so they don't last long enough for me to make any determination. I've found my favorite nine HS flavors vape ready day one and highly improved within just a couple of days with no further steep time.

I am a little confused by claims that Hangsen's flavors are made using tobacco leaves. Does that apply to all their flavors, including fruits, or does it apply to just their tobacco flavors. Does anyone actually taste tobacco in any of the HS flavors? And how are they different from Naturally Extracted Tobaccos, which I hear tend to clog coils. Could someone clear up my confusion. Thanks in advance.

It's not a claim, its a fact exchaner. I believe only the essence line is naturally extracted by molecular distillation. Nets are just steeped out straight tobacco with only light filtering of solids. Where as hangsen takes it much farther essentially filtering many more of the byproducts out, like plant proteins, down to just the flavor / essence of tobacco. Essential oils are generally made with a molecular distillation process. I'm not sure about the other flavors. But they aren't classified as essence and are cheaper.

Make The Best E-liquid ?Natural Ingredients of Hangsen Holding Co.,Ltd

From wiki -"E-liquid from natural tobacco such as Zimbabwe tobacco, Izmir tobacco, and Burley tobacco..

A google search on essential oil production and molecular distillation can provide more insite. Here is a link to review - http://infohost.nmt.edu/~jaltig/SteamDistill.pdf

This I what I think, I can only extrapolate this from the data im finding.
