HangsenAlways looking for something better - what do you two prefer over SM?
Oh, okay- thanks. Thought you were talking about NET. Hangsen was my go-to, but I really prefer SM NETs most of the time over Hangsen's.Hangsen
My understanding alsoFrom what I understand, Hangsen derives its flavors from real tobacco (though, not true extractions).
Yes its a huge range. I've got almost all of them. To many to mention actually. The discription of the flavor profile is usually very much spot on. I'm impressed with them. They're very affordable and that makes it easier to work your way through the range. They sell concentrates and have a good sampling system to. I'm sure they do ship to the US. They shipped mine to NZ and the shipping rate is very affordable.That's a big selection of NET's. Which ones have you tried? I guess they ship to US?
Yeah, I remember reading that too, when I started. That's probably what makes them the best non-net tobacco concentrate out there, overall. It really is good, and has an authentic flavor, but kind of like listening to your phone speaker instead of a great pair of headphones, compared to NET. It's just not all there.From what I understand, Hangsen derives its flavors from real tobacco (though, not true extractions).
Wow, that's a lot of flavors! What's your favorite non-cigar, non-pipe, non-sweetened, straight ahead tobacco flavor?Yes its a huge range. I've got almost all of them. To many to mention actually.

WoW man there's a few I like...USA mix, Mild tobacco, Old Holborn, Burley, Drummer, Kenty, De Luxe, Drummer are all mostly straight up tobacco. My favourite if I had to choose would be Burley.What's your favorite non-cigar, non-pipe, non-sweetened, straight ahead tobacco flavor?

I am not remotely the tobacco connoisseur that some other DIYers are. But, for my budget, and personal palate; INW Am4a, and Gold Ducat top my list.Always looking for something better - what do you two prefer over SM?
Appreciate that, Fredman. I've really got plenty for now, but when I get the urge to order something, I'll have to give that Burley, USA, and their Virginia a try! Thanks for the tip.WoW man there's a few I like...USA mix, Mild tobacco, Old Holborn, Burley, Drummer, Kenty, De Luxe, Drummer are all mostly straight up tobacco.

Yeah they don't make it easy with their huge range....UH UH
To make things worse...they keep adding flavours all to often. They have a very active facebook page to. Good bunch. When you send a joke in the instructions with your order, they send you some free sample with...crazy![]()
Well, I'm no connoisseur, but like all of us, I know what I like!I am not remotely the tobacco connoisseur that some other DIYers are. But, for my budget, and personal palate; INW Am4a, and Gold Ducat top my list.
I have only experimented with 30 tab concentrates (incl. INW, HS, SC, Purilum, SM, and TFA). The 5 SM have been my only foray into NETs; and they have left me with no desire to explore further. I respect those that enjoy them. They just have not been a hit with me.
Number one for me is some of the SC flavors from BC and other vendors. Tied for second is some of the Inawera and Hangsen flavors.Always looking for something better - what do you two prefer over SM?
For me, it isn't about duplicating analog- you're right, that's impossible. But now that I started NETs, it's just hard to go back. There's just such a full, rich flavor & mouthfeel. Now non-nets seem like drinking a watery light beer instead of a full, hoppy IPA or something.Number one for me is some of the SC flavors from BC and other vendors. Tied for second is some of the Inawera and Hangsen flavors.
I gave up on trying to duplicate analogs very quickly after starting because without the combustion, it can't be done. What I look for is a hint of the smell of a freshly opened pack or of a pipe or cigar. I was also lucky enough to really like some of the ry4 type flavors.
Tip for resetting / developing one's palette. Get some Koolada and add a drop or two per 10 ml of unflavored. Not a bad vape in it's own right, but bland enough to make you really appreciate your more highly flavored mix. Works for me anyways.![]()
SC Dunhill (Dekang i'm pretty sure) and Hangsen Tab are my go tos.Number one for me is some of the SC flavors from BC and other vendors. Tied for second is some of the Inawera and Hangsen flavors.
Just placed an order. The only NET's I've tried so far were Stixx Mixx. They seemed week to me though. Using 10% or more in a single flavor recipe.I recently discovered a manufacturer in the UK with an interesting range. Got some good NETs so I stacked up. Good value for money and shipping very affordable.
