    The Hangsen Thread

    Well, I'll have to plead ignorance on that one. I've only been DIY for about 5 months, and RTS is the only place I've ordered Hangsen flavors from, in that time. So it's something I can't comment on. I haven't had first hand experiences to believe they do, or I'd go somewhere else. On the other...

    I received an email alert from them, about the discount. I think it ends at midnight 1/1. I took advantage of it and restocked some Hangsen essentials. Saved $20. 30ml bottles of Desert Ship, TAB, Turkish, RY1, & Highway. 30ml TFA RY4 Double. 10 ml bottles of Arabic & Magic Mix. I've been...

    Tobacco Absolute - A Flavor All By Itself.

    I put in my order, the evening of 10/21, and it arrived 10/26. That was to Detroit, and I used the cheap-o shipping. If you are in Sacramento, I'd think it would be even quicker, since it shipped out of WA.

    Tobacco Absolute - A Flavor All By Itself.

    I had to laugh. I said the same things, Dixie. 'I'm supposed to get the black goop, into that little bottle?!...You gotta be kidding me!'...lol With a few colorful 'expletives deleted', I managed, and yeah, it was worth it. It's sure a delicious addition. I have some Rustica added to a Hangsen...

    I haven't had a chance to go back to it. It's been about a week now, so I need to see what the time on the shelf has done to it. My initial thoughts on it were just a taste, after mixing it. I'll be re-checking it soon, and will pay more attention to the pipe/cigar qualities (although I'm no...

    Tobacco Absolute - A Flavor All By Itself.

    Wow, very nice. It really takes the 'tobacconess' to a higher level. A much richer or fuller, tobacco flavor. That was after only one day. I'm looking forward to coming back to it, after a week. Very impressive. Old Aquarium gets a two fins up rating.

    Tobacco Absolute - A Flavor All By Itself.

    Yep, you described the appearance to a T, Danny. I may name this mix Old Aquarium. It looks like an aquarium, that's had a broken filter for 2 months..lol. I overshot my targeted TA % and ended up at 2%. I was shooting for 10 mil test batch of 4% Desert Ship & 1% TA. I fiddled with the...

    Black pond water, the perfect description..lol. I'll mix something when I get home from work this evening, and add a little BPW. Thanks everyone!

    Tobacco Absolute - A Flavor All By Itself.

    Well, my 25ml of Rustica solution is on the shelf. I'm not going to sugar coat it. That is some vile looking stuff. Is there a steep time (or half life) for it, before it's usable in a mix?

    Mixed up test batches of 4 new Hangsen tobaccos that came yesterday. Deluxe, G&S, Turkish, & RY1. I'm pretty new to mixing. Only been at it for a couple of months, but Hangsen makes it soooo easy to turn out awesome, tobacco flavors. I know that's preaching to the choir, with those here, that...

    Tobacco Absolute - A Flavor All By Itself.

    Thanks Danny. I have a couple 3ml syringes, a few 5ml, and a 1ml I found here. My youngest daughter is a vet tech in an ER. Sometimes in the heat of the ER battle, a syringe will end up in the pocket of her scrubs and wont be discovered until she checks her pockets before tossing the scrubs in...

    Tobacco Absolute - A Flavor All By Itself.

    Good stuff, thanks everyone. Thanks for the shipped PGA offer, Exchaner. I already dove in, with the purchase of a 5th of the 151 Everclear. So, I'll go with that. I appreciate the info though. As it is, I'll have a ton of the 151 left over. I may use it when I revisit NET extracting in the...

    Tobacco Absolute - A Flavor All By Itself.

    Thanks. I only chose the 5ml / 45ml ratio for my bottle of solution, because it seemed like the easiest. From what I gathered, it seemed like the biggest PITA with the paste, was getting it warmed, or runny enough to handle it, and get an accurate amount into the solution base, to start with. I...

    Tobacco Absolute - A Flavor All By Itself.

    My order of Rustica TA (Samara) is due to arrive in a couple of days. The only PGA that was available is the 151 proof (Michigan). I picked up some of that today. My plan is to mix the 5 ml of Rustica paste, in 45 ml of 50/50 PGA & PG. That should yield 50 ml of 10% solution. I can then add...

    Yeesh... that BOOM you just heard, was my vape budget, blown to smithereens. The Rustica, 2 dozen bottles, and a new batch of Hangsen flavors from RTS. Of course, I had to make it to the free shipping. It's cheaper than smoking..I heard that somewhere, right?

    I just finished reading that thread, and couldn't resist. Ordered 5 ml of Samara Rustica. I can't get 190 proof PGA here, in Michigan. so I'll have to use 151 & PG for my solution.

    I haven't done a side by side. I've heard it mentioned, that they are the same, but that would fall under the 'repeating something I read' category. My Polish isn't up to speed, but I found this: http://www.hangsenshop.eu/pl/liquidy-tytoniowe/923-magic-mix-fortune-strike-eliquid-hangsen.html

    Excellent. Thanks for all the TA info. I found the TA flavor by itself thread also.

    Glad to know I'm not the only tank blender in the Crazy Hangsen Club..lol. I think mixing things is in my genes. Even when I was doing RYO ciggies, a single tobacco was never enough. I'd try 2, sometimes 3 different kinds of tobacco, looking for that perfect mix. Then it carried over into...
