    The Hangsen Thread

    I just went to the buyhangsen.com site. These is a banner on the site stating, "close out sale". What gives? Are they going out of business? Close out usually means that the organization is closing its doors. Am I misunderstanding? (wouldn't be the first time LOL). One other question...

    R80 folding telescoping mod... I loce this thing

    I have a R80 also, for about 2 months now. I use a 0.9 ohm self-wound coil with organic cotton in a kanger mini-tank. It seems the mini tank was made for the R80. I installed a stainless swivel tip. I vape mostly tobaccos with hangsen being some of my favorites and I mix my own. The R80 is...

    The Hangsen Thread

    Thanks Love Vanilla, I ended up with the projected 6.5% and the taste mellowed out a bit. I then took a 5ml sample, (for calculation purposes) and I added, 1 drop each of EM, MTS and Caramel all separately. The MTS made the biggest difference. Really took away some of the harsh notes. The...

    The Hangsen Thread

    I have mixed my Hangsen RY4 too strong, (13%). Can I dilute back down to say 6.5% and will the flavor return? I think I was too impatient with the mixture and kept adding thinking it would improve. WRONG! Its been steeping for about a month. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Should I even reconsider Hangsen? Are there others that have a better reviews?

    The Hangsen Thread

    MY HANGSEN RY4 SUCKS!!! I have some Hangsen RY4 Essence Concentrated Flavoring that I purchased from VZ. I have made sample batches ranging from 5% up to 15% using 50/50 VG/PG with 5mg nicotine. And they all have tasted horrible. I am a tobacco vaper and have arrived at some very nice...

    The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

    Maybe they, (USPS) used some very tired horses when they delivered my order. Quality-wise, they flavors I've used so far are very high quality. Still have about four flavors that I haven't uncapped yet. Very interested in the Koolada. Should arrive tomorrow along with MTS and some caramel...

    My diy liquids make me hoarse!

    I can always give it a try. No harm in it. Used to actually make the stuff when I worked at Teleflex as a Validation Engineer.

    The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

    I have purchased directly from TFA also. It took almost 2.5 weeks to make it from CA to TX. MFS carries TFA for about a dollar more but much faster delivery. AND you add up purchase points that can be substantial. TFA are excellent products. I mostly use tobaccos and needed some koolada...

    My diy liquids make me hoarse!

    DannyV45, You are correct about the Nicotine levels. I have been steadily reducing my Nicotine levels over time. 5mg seems to be okay and I do not have any Nicotine fits or over vape. My EM additions have been to a couple of tobacco flavors that seemed harsh. Currently I haven't gone above...

    My diy liquids make me hoarse!

    Ok, one last summary post on this thread. The culprit seemed two pronged. 1. The 10mg Nicotine was irritating my throat. 2. My crockpot steeping was turning the mixes harsh, (too hot? was using glass). I have since moved down to 5mg and I'm doing well. With steeping eliminated, the mixes are...

    Is it time for re-branding?

    I think it is very important. We need to educate the general public, (rather re-educate them) that is essence our devices do not resemble an "e cigarette".

    Is it time for re-branding?

    Rickajo, I am sorry if you find this thread meaningless or repetitive. If that is the case, may I suggest that you take your forum cruising to another venue and allow the discussion to continue and/or endorse the exchange of ideas and thoughts, no matter how boring you may find it. Evidently...

    Is it time for re-branding?

    Great question Retired1, I believe the answer could be is that the industry WANTED to associate it with cigarettes as an alternative to the analogs in the beginning. But it seems to have backfired over time. Yes it created the birth of the industry, but it still leaves a bad taste in...

    Is it time for re-branding?

    So here's the question. Everywhere we look, the term used for our devices and liquids usually refers to, "e cigarette". This very term in itself presents a negative connotation to analogs and the horrible effects that have been advertised and published for years. It is not helping our cause...

    My diy liquids make me hoarse!

    I think I'll try another 10ml batch with 5mg of Nicotine. Guess 10mg is too strong for me. Its been almost three years since I quit smoking 2 packs a day for 40 years. Been vaping ever since. Funny that my Nicotine seems to be stronger that by buddy's. or store-bought. Or should I toss it...
