Interesting, what flavor do you get from RY4? I only get caramel. Well, to me it's almost like caramel with sweet cream.

Between the two 555 is harsher to me, but I am still not up to par on my taste buds yet when it comes to vaping. They say there is caramel in RY4 - do not taste it...

Hmmm, I am almost afraid to say - it tasted tobaccoy to me... I liked it - want to order it again, but no caramel to me. Now I know my taste buds have a long way to go to get back to normal if you think it is creamy.

I definitely will stop telling my story on flavors...

You shouldn't be afraid to say what you think a vape tastes like! Don't stop throwing in your two cents if you have an opinion. Most people who vape should realize that taste is subjective and everyone tastes their vapes differently.

I have been vaping less than 3 months, and some of my juices taste different to me now than they did just a few weeks ago. LOL

I can't tell if I taste tobacco in the RY4 or not....I get ALL caramel and some sort of other sweet taste, which I call sweet cream...but that is probably the tobacco, I just taste it differently than you do. I wonder what it will taste like to me in a few weeks!? :)

Not to change the subject or anything, but...

I'm trying to decide between getting a bottle of RY4 and 555. Which one is more harsh?

I've started making my own juices now and I've made some smooth stuff. I need something harsher to balance things out.

Desert Joe is okay, but I'd like something else. Can't stand Cowboy, so that's out too.

On my original order, I got the Sample Pack, but I was just vaping them like mad and I don't remember what the heck they tasted like.

Any thoughts about 555 vs RY4?

OK, I dug out my cartos to vape them and give you a comparison. This is just my opinion. Neither are what I'd call harsh.

555 tastes like a pretty straightforward tobacco taste, maybe with a faint hint of caramel. No, not caramel, something else. It's hard to identify, but it's not just like a cigarette. It has more flavor than just tobacco. As I continue to vape it, sometimes I think it's almost a citrus flavor. See what I mean? It's hard to figure out what else is in there besides tobacco flavor.

RY4 has less of the tobacco taste, more of the "something else." And I doubt that other set of flavors are the same ones they use for 555. Less of the citrus subtle taste, more of the caramel.

In conclusion, if you want a straight tobacco flavor, 555 is more like that, and RY4 has more other flavors, though still a tobacco base.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by harsh. Do you mean tobacco flavor? Do you mean a strong taste? Something that makes you cough? What?

TK - If I'm reading this correctly, it sounds like you're looking for more of a throat hit. Right? If so, you could up your nic content in a flavor that you already like.

Or ---- You could try adding Bitter Wizard to a nicquid, which would remove the sweetness factor:

Or - You could DIY a batch of Perique Black Flavor. Advertised as "one of the harshest tobacco flavors available. Hints of pepper and salsa."

I heart coffee...and it did definitely taste like coffee to me when I vaped it. Coffee and throat fire! LOL

Interesting. I just dug out the cappuccino, too, and I taste the coffee flavor, though it's not real strong. I think the basic smoke flavor is stronger. Also, the nic level is higher on this one, so I can't really judge throat hit vs. the 555 and RY4, but it's stronger. Still, not what I'd call "throat fire" at 12 mg.

My taste buds are pretty shot, too, but I don't think it's creamy, either. I do taste the caramel, and that could be interpreted as creamy, I guess. I think its flavor is more like the smell of some pipe tobacco. I don't know what kind of pipe tobacco, but the more aromatic kind, I guess.
