I have been searching for the best DIY B&M flavor. I have seen some mention Black and mile and plus by fruit express. What all have you all tried and liked and where from? I found a few threads but not many mentioned how carries it.
Just got the Hangsen RY1 in and I'd say it's definitely along the "Black and Mild" lines, it's also widely known as being awesome. Highly recommend it.
That's the other one I was trying to think of... The Black and Mild plus... I couldn't remember the name. Who makes that?
RY1 tastes nothing like B&M, IMO unless you mean that it's widely liked as B&M is.
I also don't see anything special about RY1... Unless it's because I got it from VZ and the other versions are better, I just don't see the hype.
Whatever you do, don't even try the Dekang B&M. It tastes closer to dog food and hog snot.
Ewww. I've heard not so good things about Dekang and for a while I had them confused with Hangsen
RY1 definitely doesn't taste like a black n mild to me, although I do enjoy it. I have the ECX version and I agree with JD in that it is a bit mild. The popular 3% doesn't do it for me, so I upped it to 5% in a recent batch but have to let it steep a bit.
Try VZ SC's Black Cigar and add some vanillin to it. That was actually an idea I had a week ago but the funds aren't allowing me to try that out.
