That's interesting to know. They told me it's their best selling juice by far. Wish I could still taste it. I remember the exhale was really nice.
Here's the hangdude's review (post [HASHTAG]#3326[/HASHTAG] from Dec 8th, 2012):
Professor Marvel's Master Blend from Nashville Vapor
Nashville Vapor is a reseller that recently started carrying their own ejuice line called Sancia Smoke E-Liquids. The flavors sound good. I chose Master Blend, not really knowing what to expect. The website describes it as such.
This is it... the 2nd juice we have received from the professor. This is a light tobacco flavor with nice smooth, sweet and creamy undertones.
I just received my bottle yesterday, but it smelled good, so I tried it fresh.
And fresh it is, mixed Wednesday and first tasted Friday. Instantly I recognized it as an RY4. It has the rich caramel of many custom ry4 blends. Equally strong (but mostly on the exhale) is a delicious vanilla cream. And the tobacco lingers out front throughout the vape. It has almost a buttery taste, like KBV's RY4, but the tobacco is much bolder than Kick Bass's version.
I think Bill is going to get a sample (from the vendor) for review, but I just wanted to let you know how much I like it. Even fresh, it has a nice strong flavor, yet the color of the liquid is only flesh colored. Master Blend is a high quality RY4 that blends smooth with bold. Definitely an all-day flavor.
I have been impressed by some of the RY4s that I have been trying lately. Even new vendors are coming up with delicious custom RY4 blends. Just this week I have tried two vendors that have been only selling their blends for a month or so, My Vape Juice and now Nashville Vapor. Both RY4 versions have surpassed anything I could have expected. Both have bold tobacco surrounded by a quality mix of caramel and vanilla. I put these new versions at least equal to the big dogs. Nashville's Master Blend compares to GoodEjuice's GJ4, MyVapeJuice's Our RY4 compares to Spring Vapor's Black Label. Both earn an A grade from me.
As long as new vendors keep creating quality RY4s, there is no reason for this thread to ever end!
And here is my subsequent review ([HASHTAG]#3372[/HASHTAG] from Dec 20th, 2012):
Review: Professor Marvel’s Master Blend from NashvilleVapor
specs: The 3ml sample bottle of Professor Marvel’s Master Blend that NashvilleVapor sent me free for review contains a copper-colored transparent liquid at 18mg nic strength in an unspecified base blend. I couldn’t smell any discernible scent. Testing was done using a 2.5 ohm Smoktech dual-coil carto powered by a variable-wattage VAMO set to 8.5 watts RMS.
From the NashvilleVapor web site:
“This is a light tobacco flavor with nice smooth, sweet, and creamy undertones. Some could call this our version of an RY4.”
And a lovely RY4, it is, too.
NashvilleVapor Master Blend immediately calls to mind (to my mind, at least) two other Custom RY4s: MountainOakVapor CountRY-4 and VaporBeast Holy Grail RY4 (which was custom-formulated and is made for VaporBeast by MountainOak, so VB Holy Grail shares a similar flavor profile with MOV CountRY-4). Presumably, NashvilleVapor Master Blend was created by a different juicemaker/vendor, although I can’t assert that with certainty. For all I know, MOV’s talented juicemistress Brandy might be “Professor Marvel.” Whoever created it, however, Master Blend “completes the trio,” so to speak, of these three very good RY4s.
With Master Blend, NashvilleVapor offers a truly sophisticated RY4. By “sophisticated,” I don’t mean “complex,” for the very nature of RY4 leans away from complexity and toward simplicity. For RY4s, the KISS rule applies: “Keep It Simple, Stupid!”
Simple does not imply lean or sparse, however. Simple can be rich and expansive, and here, with NashvilleVapor Master Blend, richness abounds. From the bold yet mild tobacco through the luscious caramel to the creamy vanilla (which arrive during the vaping in that order---tobacco wrapped in caramel on inhale, followed by creamy vanilla on exhale), sophisticated simplicity reigns supreme.
Custom RY4s represent the cutting edge of evolution in the RY4 flavor combination, while Classic RY4s hold the anchor of tradition. NashvilleVapor impresses me as being at the very heart of that new cutting edge. We’re not talking about wild or unexpected flavors added to the original RY4 palette of tobacco, caramel, vanilla, and sometimes nuts. No, evolving the RY4 flavor profile doesn’t necessarily imply or require “pushing the envelope.” Further evolution proceeds best by finding new shadings and combinations of those essential, core flavors that increase the “yummy factor,” making the very best new RY4s more delicious than most of those created earlier.
Some of the older RY4s continue to be astonishingly good. VaporTalk Dulcis would be a perfect example if VaporTalk ever had any Dulcis in stock. Janty RY4 and, to a lesser extent, Dekang RY4, continue to provide the reference standard for Classic RY4s, although the best of the new crop of Custom RY4s challenges them for sheer vaping pleasure.
In the current RY4 Report Card, where I offer my subjective evaluation/judgment by “grading” all the RY4s on The Big List, MountainOakVapor CountRY-4 is rated B+, with VaporBeast Holy Grail RY4 receiving an A-. NashvilleVapor Master Blend deserves an A, culminating the trilogy.
NashvilleVapor Master Blend is, quite simply, great stuff. I write that knowing that some vapers will not like Master Blend. Not every vaper appreciates RY4 or tobacco vapes. Some vapers don’t like sweet vapes at all. No juice has ever (or will ever) be made that is universally loved or even liked by all vapers. But, be that as it may, I feel certain that many, many vapers will love NashvilleVapor Master Blend. This is RY4 taken to the level of a high art form.
NashvilleVapor Professor Marvel’s Master Blend grade: A
I still have about 2ml of that free 3ml bottle. It's 18mg nic, which is way higher than I vape now, but that's OK. I just vaped a little of it. Admittedly, my original exuberant praise didn't last---numerous other RY4s have surpassed Professor Marvel's Master Blend since 2012 (it now gets a grade of B- from me on The RY4 Report Card)---but it's still a nice juice and a decent RY4.

First time I vaped NLV4ya, it reminded me a lot of MB. Thanks for highlighting the reviews. Interesting to see what both of you thought about it. It's been fun trying the different juices on the list.
About a week ago, I got in three flavored tobaccos from Mount Baker Vapor. Already reviewed on post [HASHTAG]#5727[/HASHTAG] was the very good, very rich, dessert ry4 GwaRy4.
Next up for review is Ruyan 4 from Mount Baker. MBV had a maple-heavy ry4 that is now (thankfully) discontinued. Their new version, Ruyan 4 has no maple flavor. It also has no caramel or vanilla flavor. In fact, they should have called this flavor desert ship or Camel. It is a dry Turkish Tobacco flavor, not nearly an ry4.
But since I already have it loaded in the clearo, let me give it a short review. I taste a nutty flavor, maybe a walnut blend. It is mildly woody and very dry. It tastes like a Camel (cigarette) smells, before it is lit. Not at all unpleasant, unless you were expecting an ry4. As a cheap Turkish blend, I give it a solid B+.
The third flavored tobacco I purchased from MBV was Vanilla Tobacco. It is much closer to an ry4 than Ruyan 4 is. But Ruyan 4 tastes better. Vanilla Tobacco has a flowery taste beside the vanilla and the tobacco. This gives it a perfume taste that just does not agree (with me). Hopefully this "off" flavor will disappear with a bit more steeping. Probably not.
As Vanilla Tobacco is today, I give it a grade of D. Vapable, but barely.

Ah, decisions, decisions.
I trust your reviews, dude, so my dilemma is whether or not to put on The Big List a juice with an "RY4" name---Ruyan 4---that is NOT an RY4.
I think I'll just leave it off the List.

You might want to put it on the list as NOT being an RY4, or at least an asterisk by their GwaRy4 saying the ruyan 4 is a Turkish blend. Not even a Turkish blended ry4, like Crystal Clear Vaping's ry4.
Early on in the thread I had the goal of making The Big RY4 List comprehensive---you know, a list that covered every retail RY4 and DIY RY4 flavoring in the marketplace. Well, we gave that a good try. Almost 200 RY4s reviewed, categorized, and graded amounts to a pretty fair effort.
Now, however---four years later---I find that I'm giving up the pursuit of quantity in favor of quality. These days I'd like The Big RY4 List to be the definitive guide to good RY4s. LOL.

I know its hard to keep track of 200 RY4s for this thread, but it's important to list the "Yuck!" ones so they are avoided. I often come in here when I see a "deal" on ry4. Often as not I don't buy because the review was less than favorable or not what I was looking for.
And you, Bill, have done an AWESOME job maintaining this thread and guiding its viewers.
I am so grateful for this thread. I can't even imagine the amount of work (and $, and time) that went into this! When I first started vaping, I had a hard time finding a flavor I loved. When I finally tasted an RY4, I knew I was on the right track. Being able to look at the big list, and order samples based on my personal tastes and very in depth reviews made all the difference. You have led me to so many good juices. Thanks again!
OK, I added MtBakerVapor Ruyan 4 to The Big RY4 List with links to the vendor page and your review.I didn't add it to the Category Groups or Report Card sections, since I wouldn't know where to put it in either assessment.
Ruyan 4 has more than 100 customer reviews on the MtBaker product page, of which a bunch say something along lines of "best RY4 ever." Yes, I understand that MtBaker attracts many new vapers, a lot of whom have never had eliquid from any other vendor, so that probably accounts for some of the disconnect between the majority of very positive customer reviews and your reaction that Ruyan 4 isn't an RY4 at all because of the complete lack of caramel and vanilla flavor. I wondered if this might be a steeping issue, but caramel and vanilla aren't flavors that need to steep to be perceptible in a juice. Steeping may refine those flavors, bringing out their nuances, but if you assert that there was no caramel and vanilla in the flavor profile, I can't imagine that steeping will do much, if any, good.
I wish there were some way on The Big List to warn people away from this juice, but the List itself isn't set up for that. I guess potential buyers will just have to read your review.
I tried MBV's 555 and found it a lot closer to RY4 than expected. Sweet, with hazelnut and a slight berry taste, strong. FWIW.
Some quick RY4 reviews:
Cigabuy RY4 (Dekang style label, with a tobacco field pic) ... this is super cheap. Interesting, not strong taste, a bit dry, with a wonderful buttery finish. I'm guessing the maker tasted the original RY4. I'm rather scared of it, being cheap, Chinese, a little oily looking and that buttery taste, so I'm not getting any more, but enjoyed it a while. It didn't help that the generic juices I got in the same order smelled like gasoline.
Goodejuice GJ4 ... as RY4 was the sweetest of the RY range, this is the sweetest of their NET range (which I love). But that's the only similarity to RY4. The most complex, intense ... maple syrup ... you ever tasted.
Goodejuice RY4 ... very caramel. Could actually make me feel like my stomach was over full. Seems odd to try and mix it too (I didn't have any straight PG...). Yummy but overall not a fave.
Goodejuice Congo Craze ... not a RY4, but heads up if you like the smoky tobacco nut thing, a little strange but awesome.
Vapor Connection iSpades RY4 (house brand) ... this is a very tobacco RY, with no discernible vanilla or caramel flavor, just more tobacco than tobacco can truly be. Like it but going through slowly.
Halo Tribecca ... (brand new shop taster only) sorry, didn't like at all. Ended up enjoying some of their Freedom Smoke.
Interstate 95 Vapors Puffcake ... (drip tasted in shop) Described as a "RY blend" (subtle there) including marshmallow. A bit subtle but may still grab a bottle soon. I'm loving his Happy Endings, which is tobacco-based but described as cheesecake, with a PG+nic dilute in an EVOD, as well as in my dripper mix.
Vapin' Kicks-Ash 9X ... vanilla caramel hazelnut tobacco, using a base similar to their French Pipe. Excellent example of an in-house juice.
Carolina Flavor branded tobacco shop (different than the website showed and cheaper, older?) RY4. VG based. Not as really bad as their Tobacco but neither good or RY4.
My Freedom Smokes RY4 ... (early vaping experience, so...) More flavor than their regular tobaccos due to a well-integrated bit of toffee, still want to retry sometime.

Sir, your list represents what the vaping community is all about. A great way for new and experienced vapers to try out a flavor profile that is sometimes misunderstood. Your reviews have set the standard that all reviewers should try to follow.
Thank You.
Thank You.

Bill’s Top American, Chinese, and NET-based retail RY4s (my current personal favorites)
American RY4s
1. VaporDNA Millenium Potion RY4 (custom) – wonderfully tasty and balanced
2. MrVape RY4 (classic) – more punch than most classic RY4s
3. Halo Tribeca (custom) – big flavor, almost tangy
4. VaporTalk Dulcis (classic) – one of my all-time favorites
5. Ikenvape RY4 Gold – nutty and delicious
6. Nhaler R Why Not (custom) – an oldie but goodie
7. eSmoke4Life Riskee Yuice – among the first and still brilliant American RY4s
(unfortunately, Riskee is available only in 24mg nic)
8. Mister-E-Liquid MrE’s RY4 – very nice
9. Butterfly’s RY4 – similar to MrVape in flavor profile
10. TotallyWicked RY4 (Patriot Range) - rich and delicious
Chinese RY4s
1. SmokelessImage Volt RY4 (classic) – beautifully balanced, near-perfect
2. Pirate RY4 (classic ) – slightly idiosyncratic for a classic, but a current fave of mine
3. Janty RY4 DK, Classic, or Elixir Series (classic) – the Gold Standards of Classic RY4
4. Dekang RY4/DK4 – most people think that this is the original RY4 (it’s not, Janty is)
5. JoyeTech retail RY4 (classic) – like a cross between Janty and Hangsen
NET-based RY4s (made with Natural Tobacco Extract, but not Tobacco Absolute)
1. MountainOakVapors Full Virginia Flake RY4
2. Bill’s Burley Kake RY4 (homemade extract, DIY juice)
3. GoodEJuice GJ4
4. QuickNicJuice ouR whY qu4tro
5. Naturally-Extracted-Tobacco tRY4.1
Updated and current as of June 21st, 2015

2. RY4s not yet acquired for review
3. RY4s that are no longer available for one reason or another
4. Bill’s Reviews of Other Juices (non-RY4s)

The Big RY4 Report Card
The grades given for these retail RY4s are my opinion only. They are also current judgments and may differ from grades I gave in the past. So please understand that if you base a buying decision solely on this list, you might end up getting an RY4 that I like rather than one you’ll like, since my tastes and palate are unlikely to match yours perfectly---in some cases, not even remotely. Conversely, you may like an RY4 to which I gave a low grade.
Within each grade, the RY4s are listed in alphabetical order. This kind of judging is ridiculous enough without splitting hairs or nit-picking between RY4s within the same grade. I have, however, subdivided each grade into Classic and Custom, to allow easier comparison of apples to apples and oranges to oranges.
For vendor links and original review post numbers, as well as Category Groups, please refer to the most recent update of The Big RY4 List (the posts right above this one).
Did I mention that these 164 grades are my opinion only? LOL.

So please understand that if you base a buying decision solely on this list, you might end up getting an RY4 that I like rather than one you’ll like, since my tastes and palate are unlikely to match yours perfectly---in some cases, not even remotely. Conversely, you may like an RY4 to which I gave a low grade.
Within each grade, the RY4s are listed in alphabetical order. This kind of judging is ridiculous enough without splitting hairs or nit-picking between RY4s within the same grade. I have, however, subdivided each grade into Classic and Custom, to allow easier comparison of apples to apples and oranges to oranges.
For vendor links and original review post numbers, as well as Category Groups, please refer to the most recent update of The Big RY4 List (the posts right above this one).
Did I mention that these 164 grades are my opinion only? LOL.

All-in-one RY4 pre-mixed DIY flavorings
with mix percentages, Report Card, vendor links, and review posts
Mixing Percentages
The key to making good DIY RY4 from Pre-Mixed RY4 flavorings and concentrates is knowing how much (or rather, how little) flavoring to use. Flavorings require a higher percentage; concentrates work at lower percentages. Use too much of either and you will ruin the juice. I cannot stress this strongly enough. Start out mixing lean. Then---if necessary---add more flavoring very sparingly. Test-vape after each small addition of flavor. Keep in mind that the flavors will “bloom” with steeping---a DIY RY4 that seems to lack flavor when new may magically mature into full-flavor after two weeks, so exercise both patience and restraint.
When making a small bottle of DIY RY4 (6mls or less) using a very concentrated flavoring, adding even two drops to an existing mix can be enough to wreck the flavor profile. Increase the flavoring only one drop at a time. Remember: Less is best, and more is not necessarily better. Err on the side of using too little flavoring rather than too much! Below are my recommended percentage ranges for different brands of RY4 flavorings:
2-4%
TobaccoExpress Ruyan and RY4 flavoring concentrates
BullCityVapor Ruyan and RY4-SC flavoring concentrates
VapingZone RY4 super-concentrated flavoring
5-7%
DecadentVapours DY3 and DY4 flavorings
FlavourArt RY4 flavoring concentrate
FlavourArt oRYental4 flavoring concentrate
Hangsen Essence RY4 flavoring concentrate
HealthCabin Ruyan #4 (RY4) flavoring concentrate
Inawera RY-4 flavoring concentrate
MyFreedomSmokes 4-Star General flavoring concentrate
8-12%
AzureVaping RY4 and RY4.5 flavorings (formerly BlueMist)
FlavourArtUK Nutzilla flavoring concentrate
TPA/TFA RY4 Asian flavoring
TPA/TFA RY4 Double flavoring
10-15%
TotallyWicked Ruyan 5 flavoring
15-20%

Passerbyeus Picks
GermanFlavours RY4 Blend from VapersTek and Ruyan-SC from BullCityVapor. Passerbyeus gives both flavorings an “A” grade. Links can be found below in the Vendor Links section. [Note: I haven’t had those two particular flavorings myself, and they don’t appear in the Winners and Report Card sections below, since those grades are my judgments.]
The Winners
Best Classic RY4 Flavoring: FlavourArt RY4
Classic Runner-up #1: Hangsen Essence RY4
Classic Runner-up #2: HealthCabin RY4
Best Custom RY4 Flavoring: TheFlavorApprentice RY4 Double
Custom Runner-up #1: AzureVaping RY4.5 (formerly BlueMist)
Custom Runner-up #2: FlavourArtUK Nutzilla
Over the past year and a half, FlavourArt and Hangsen Essence had fought it out for me as the Best Classic RY4 all-in-one DIY flavorings. Inawera RY-4 has come along to challenge them both. Inawera isn’t as tasty as FA or HS in my judgment, and is nosed out for third place by HealthCabin RY4. Inawera is noteworthy for being nearly colorless---the liquid is totally clear and transparent. Every other DIY RY4 flavoring I know is colored, from light gold or amber to dark brown. Inawera is closer to FlavourArt in being more savory than Hangsen, which is the sweetest of the three.
Based on overwhelming popularity, TFA RY4 Double wins the best Custom RY4 all-in-one DIY flavoring. Yes, I know, I gave it only an A-, but that’s because I feel that RY4 Double needs 1% acetyl pyrazine added to really shine. Mixed by itself, RY4 Double is not my personal favorite by a long shot. I prefer the spicy kick of AzureVaping RY4.5 or the nuttiness of FlavourArtUK Nutzilla. Nonetheless, TFA RY4 Double gets the blue ribbon because so many people love it.

I've been working towards an DIY All Day Vape for some time. I think I'm getting there.
For those who DIY, you might consider a mix of AzureVaping RY4.5 or TFA RY4 Double and Want2Vape RY4.
I don't disagree with Bill's B grade evaluation of W2V RY4, but I find there is something in it that is exceptional. It may be a bit too much on its own. But when mixed with other RY4s, it adds certain low notes that are seemingly not usually found elsewhere. It may be in the Caramel influence and NET qualities of W2V RY4.
W2V RY4 is a bit expensive on its own. It can cost up to ~$4 for just for a standalone of that flavoring in 30ml of ejuice. Mixing with another more economical RY4 such as TFA RY4 Double can save half or more on that cost and can mellow it out a bit. TFA RY4-D is quite inexpensive, especially in the 4 oz. buld size and AV RY4.5 is moderately priced.
I am currently onto a DIY mix of AzureVaping RY4.5 and Want2Vape RY4. I have enough TFA RY4-D for one more 30ml bottle of that and W2V RY4 mix. I will revisit that for re-evaluation / comparison with AV RY4.5 / W2V RY4. They are close in satisfaction, but some difference in taste.
My current forward looking approach is to continue with the TFA RY4 or AV RY4.5 with W2V RY4 as an ADV supplemented with a few ready-to-go RY4 ejuices for diversion. I will also continue to occasionally experiment around the edges with other RY4 DIY flavorings. I may take a hint from Bill's thoughts and add a touch of TFA Acetyl Pyrazine to those with TFA RY4-D and perhaps others.
I offer continuing gratitude towards Bill's efforts with RY4 evaluations.
PS A good value bulk purchase of RY4 can be found in a 250ml bottle of HeartlandVapes HY4 ready to go ejuice for $19.99. Decent ready to go RY4 eliquid at 8 cent a milliliter is a hard to beat. I might bump it up a little from Bill's grade. I have not experimented with it mixed with other ejucies, but find it a satisfying vape on its own. If one also orders some nicotine base, free shipping may be realized. Some may have sampled HY4 from a 12mg/ml, 250ml bottle I received (should have been 18mg/ml) and shared with many of you.
