Thanks in advance for the help.

What is RY4 like? Also, I am looking for a really good authentic Vanilla, a good cherry that doesn't taste like a throat lozenge, and a deep tobacco flavor. I got several tobaccos and I notice they are all on the airy, light side. Its like what I imagine hay would taste like. :) I am looking for a deeper, darker flavor. What are cured flavors like? I know different companies will have variations on a theme but a general description of what these flavors tend to be like would help, like are they light or dark, deep, or airy, sweet or neutral, etc.

So far I tried: Johnsons Creek: Domestic (closer), Original, Black Cherry (pretty good). Vermillion River: Premium, Cherrywood, Vanilla blend. Copper Creek: Home. Vapor Pro: MLB2, Very Vanilla, Cherry. Perhaps I need to let some of these sit longer but I'd still like some recommendations. Thanks!

RY4 is a tobacco flavor that generally has caramel and vanilla in it. The thing with Ry4 is that there are a TON of variations of it. Almost every vendor has their variation of Ry4, some good, some not so much.

I find cherry and vanilla are 2 of the hardest flavors to get right. Cherry tastes like medicine alot. I like vanilla, but havent found a vanilla juice that I like at all.

Taste is very subjective so something you like, someone else will think it tastes like a foot.

If your looking for a rich deep tobacco, I recommend trying CCVs Black & Mild. It is a very rich tasting tobacco that is very satifying. CCV has free shipping too so you would only have to pay for the juice. I think its worth trying

Hi, I'm sure someone will answer much better than I here shortly but I can't resist. I think RY4 in general has a changeable nature, it certainly varies from vendor to vendor but, in essence, it should have a wood/charcoal chip background with a sweet glaze added on top. To me, that sweetness is cloying from some vendors and more moderate from others. I am vaping RY1 at the moment because it has the same essential constitution but is not as sweet and overpowering.

As far as your other question about vanilla/cherry/tobacco etc., you might need to get some DIY flavors. I've just got a batch from FlavorArt here in Italy that is prime to be everything I'm goint to need for the next year! (ok, not really because I'm compulsive, but quantity wise anyway). The fruits (black cherry for example) are food flavorings and definitely top notch stuff. Their tobacco flavors seem good too. I'm steeping at the moment so can't give a great opinion but the 2 tobacco flavors I'm steeping are dark and rich (Cuban cigar and Camtel). I tasted them about two days ago and I'm sold on them. I've got about 6 more tobacco flavors to try from them as well and I didn't buy a sample of everything they have.

Good luck on finding your perfect vape!

Just something to keep in mind though, simulating the tobacco flavor is nigh on impossible. You might find something very close to your pallet, but it probably won't be the flavor you remember from camels or swisher sweets.

If you like a deep robust flavor, you may want to try a root beer from someone, very solid taste. Otherwise, the ones that I've found that I really like are the minty flavors, Madvapes has a Spearmint that tastes just like the gum...it's my all-day-vape.
