FYI- This method really does seem to work with the NFs

Natural flavors come in many styles, colors, forms, and concentrations. Generally a good rule for initial usage is .25% and then add more to taste. Remember natural flavor has an optimal usage and achieving that point is more art than science. For brisk flavor and satisfaction, never over flavor youre-liquid . Here are some basic rules for flavoring your product. Let’s say for example you’re trying a vanilla flavor. First, start with a small amount such as a .25% up to 1%. Taste the flavor in the e-liquid. If the flavor tastes good and goes away after 3 to 5 seconds with no funny aftertaste, then it’s perfect and you don't need to add more flavoring, PG or VG.

The T5 thing happened by accident .. I started wanting tobacco flavor and didnt care for the ones I had .. then I found 2 brand new bottles that I had put away a while ago and forgot about, Both were from ECX .. one was TE Ruyan 4 and the other was the Hangsen T5. I made the Ruyan 4, mixed it with my little mixer, gave it a hot bath and then tried it .. not bad. Set it inside my dark box where I steep my juices and forgot about it. Saw it in there 2 weeks ago .. it had steeped for a month. Tried it and fell in LOVE. Couldnt get enough of it. Quick made more, mixed part of the steeped one into it so it'd steep faster .. was in vaping heaven.

Went to ECX website to order more .. yikes .. it wasnt there. In it's place is one called just "Ruyan" .. without the number 4. I emailed ECX znd asked if it aas the same as the one with the 4. Got an email back from a gal .. she said it smells the same. I immediately ordered 4 bottles. Long story short .. it is NOT the same!

At that point I was so sad .. but saw the T5 bottle again and made it .. mixed it with the little mixer, steeped it a few days in the dark steeping box and have been vaping it for the psst week.

Do I love it? Nay. But I do LIKE it. And since I cant get the Ruyan 4 anymore then I will settle for the T5. Once I get the VZ one I'll see if they're the same or if one is better.


Stash back in Jan i opened a thread here and asked about it because
for a short while the Tobacco Express Ruyan4 and its picture was gone and i thought it would no longer be available.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ecigexpress/371974-tobacco-express-ruyan-ry4.html#post8807809

i then called and talked on phone to that Lady and she said they smelled the same and Linnx was told there the same from the manufacturer.
I said "no" there indeed different.
So it seems we are back to square one and i revisited that thread to try and get a response because its confusing.


Here is an older order of mine as listed on website .
2 ea. Tobacco Express RY4 10ml
3 ea. Tobacco Express Ruyan4 10ml



When Linnx re added Tobacco Express Ruyan4 to his website seems he did not add the " 4 " after Ruyan like it was in my older order above. ; )

Here is the re-added picture without the 4 on the end of Ruyan

So why was the 4 dropped in that picture is what needs to be addressed and hopefully Linnx comes back as says he forgot to put the 4 and not say because its a all new flavoring.
Tobacco Express "Ruyan4" was very good.

What they ended up telling me is that the company they buy from has 4 different Ruyan's and implied that they, ECX, isnt exactly sure which one is which now. All I know is I for sure want more of the original Ruyan 4, I have 180 ml of it mixed up but that used up the rest of my flavoring bottle and I dont have anymore ... wah wah wah. I only vape my Ruyan 4 stash for 2 hours a day now, to try and make it last as long as I can LOL. And in between those times is when I'm vaping the ECX T5, which is not the same or even close to that Ruyan 4.

you mix yours at .25% ??? Maybe that was my problem, I mixed mine at 2.5%

I ordered the one that does not have the 4, got it 2 weeks ago, mixed it, vaped it and trust me it is NOT the same as the one with the 4 .. it tastes way different from the Ruyan 4 that I loved. If Linnx just adds the number "4" to the Ruyan he has on his website now it will get even more confusing because it is not the same as the Ruyan 4 he use to have.

I received the Ruyan 4, but at the time the description said Ruyan. I did not like it at all.

Which ever one I got was pretty bad too. I ordered it after I read a lot of good reviews on it but i'm fairly certain they couldnt have been talking about the one I got.

Thats not good i even offered in that thread to send a unopened bottle of Tobacco Express Ruyan4 so they can mix vape smell whatever they need to do to bring it back and Linnx politely said it was not needed.
It surely would solve any problems if thats what they have .
Here are 4 bottles on left of older order of Ruyan4 and also RY4 (on right side) my 2 favorite all day vapes.

Absolutely ! I think I just like flavors on the lighter side now. I would go with unflavored, but my heavy PG mix tastes like sugar water. I can't use heavy VG. I get congested, and gives me serious headaches.
I hear you about except i dont taste the PG at all. The vg it congests me as well in the flem department. Was always at 90pg/10vg in past then tried 70pg/30vg and was bad congesting. Currently at 85pg/15vg and hardly any congesting but will go back to 90pb/10vg like i did the my first year in vaping.

Yes that is exactly what my bottles of Ruyan 4 and Ry4 look like! So sad not to be able to get that Ruyan 4 anymore .. I have 4 bottles of the new Ruyan and it is nothing like the Ruyan 4 in the picture. Sorry to keep going on about it, cant help myself .. it is so sad.
