Bad RY4 juice?

[Sugarfoot]

OK - I'm just a few posts out of the newbie forum so bear with me. For the past 2 months I've been trying lots of different tobacco juices and have loved them all(!) Nearly all have been PV/VG mixes so they don't gum up my eGo-T.
Today, I received my first RY4 by Dekang which I had really been looking forward to. Mix from the vender was 70% VG 30% PG and listed as a Dekang product. According to Dekang, they are adding VG products.
After about 3 vapes I swear I thought I was coming down with strep throat. Put it down, drank some coffee and waited a bit - same effect. Quickly loaded a new tank with my standard (Premier Tobacco from ecigexpress) - things toned down after the RY4 cleared the atomizer and everything back to normal. I have had some juice with good TH, but never actual pain....

Will steeping cure this juice? After reading all the good things about RY4 I was sorely disappointed, I was planning on loving this juice! Or were RY4 and I never meant to be?

I don't know but if you have a reaction to juice, don't vape it. It's just not worth making yourself sick over juice.

Glad you posted this, as I had a very similar experience.

I bought DK RY4 as well, and it somewhat hurt my throat, but the taste was absolutely horrid...the way I described it in a prior post was that it tasted like I set a GI Joe on fire and inhaled the fumes...its horrid.

I see all these people talking about Ry4 and how there are caramel, or sweet tones along with tobacco, and was excited to try it....but there was none of that...all I tasted was a chemically burnt taste or something.. this was just horrible. I don't see how anyone could like this taste, acquired or not.

I even thought it might have been a bad carto, so tried another...but the taste remained the same.

Hmmm, I just ordered some RY4 (dekang) and I really like it, it's not harsh at all. I generally vape 18 mg, and it's no stronger than the others I've tried. Bad batch maybe ?

Can you describe what it tastes like, or what you're picking up out of it?

Here's a great (long) RY4 post

I remember reports of normally high quality juices tasting bad (ECOpure was one of them) and the problem was traced to contaminated retail bottles. IIRC they were inadequately cleaned after manufacturing and had deterent remaining in them.

Could be a similar problem here.

I find it has a little hint of tobacco with a caramel cookie sort of flavor. Maybe a bit of vanilla too.

I thought I was the only one... Did you guys order the DK RY4 from Madvapes by any chance??

I tried the Dekang Ry4 and didn't like it. I waited a couple of days and I like it a lot now. Sweet, nutty flavor. But it does kind of make my throat hurt. I also am trying Mom & Pop's RY4 now, and I like that one too.

I am very picky about ry4 and the dekang stuff sucks the big one, sorry all. I really like ecblends ry4 and its only 15.00 for 50 mls.

It's supposed to have a taste of vanilla ice cream with caramel and chocolate on top.

I do have some RY4 from vapor station and it does taste something like that. More caramel with just a hint of vanilla and chocolate.

Haven't tried the RY4 from Madvapes, but have tried the caramel tobacco, cherry tobacco and regular tobacco. I like the caramel, though it's more like butterscotch. Cherry tobacco is fine. Regular tobacco is kinda off.

By the way I've also gotten a sample pack of DK liquids (or some knock off). Started out they tasted OK, but nothing great. After dripping, then washing the atty, they all started to taste funky and I had to put it away. Maybe they'll taste better later. If not I'll just toss them and save the sample bottles and start making my own.

After reading your post, I decided to revisit the DeKang RY4 24mg I purchased about 6 months ago from MadVapes. I'm vaping it at 4.0 Volts on a ProVari using a 510 atty measuring 2.1 ohms. Originally when I vaped this several months ago I did not care for it (I can't recall what I vaped it with and what volts I used). Now it tastes much better than it originally did. There seems to be so many variables that it's hard to pin down why to me it has improved from when I first tried it.
Was it because back then I was just starting out or was it because it steeped for 6 months or was it because of the atty or was it because of the volts I'm now vaping it on 4V with a 2.1 ohm atty or all of the above? I think this juice is mostly PG with a little VG added. It's hard to describe that taste but I think I taste some caromal and vanilla.
I won't vape it all day even now because the almost 100% PG dries me out, even after drinking a lot of water.
Vaping is so much fun, maybe try vaping the batch you have with a different ohm atty and at a different voltage will change the tast or let it steep some more.

Cheers,
Mike

I just finished a bottle of 18mg dekang ry4 from madvapes and I like it. It is a pretty sweet juice with a light tobacco flavor. Maybe you got a bad batch. Everyone who tried mine liked it.
I did get some coffee juice from madvapes that tasted like burning rubber, absolutely horrid. It's still sitting in my drawer of abandoned juices. Might try it again I a month or so.

Yes, that's a good description. I've steeped this bad boy almost two weeks, seems smoother now, light in flavor, kind of reminds me of a very light Boba's Bounty. I'll re -explore my bottle now and again, but I'm leery of the Chinese juices in terms of quality and content. I will probably stick with the better quality boutique-type juices that are made in the U.S.Right now I;m working my way through some Bounty Hunter and can't imagine much better, maybe ecigexpress Premium Tobacco.
