Is RY4 a well known flavor?

[medic181075]

Here is the issue - I needed some e-liquid while on vacation in Virginia Beach. I forgot to make an online order before I left and was vaping leftover stuff that I really didn't like. While wandering around the multiple tourist trap stores, I notice what appeared to be a fairly well established vape shop. I walked in an asked the guy for some RY4 in a 50/50 mix. He told me that they didn't have anything like that and then tried to sell me some fruit flavors as an alternative - in 70/30 or max VG mixtures.

Now I realize that I am a bit old school with my EVOD Kanger Protank II mini, but shouldn't every established vape shop know what RY4 is?

Personally, I agree with you, an established shop should have someone who knows about RY4. But in my experience, I’ve never been in any local shop where they had RY4 or even knew what I was talking about.

It’s my favorite flavor, and one of the few I will actually vape, so it’s disappointing that it doesn’t seem as well known as it should be.

Hoping people in bigger cities have a little better luck with their local shops, haha.

Yeah, RY4 is sort of a standard. They may not all taste the same but it is sort of a standard tobacco.

Times they are a changin'
Vape shops I have visited usually have 6 or 7 times more of the non tobacco flavours than tobacco flavours.
When traveling, if I find a shop with Hangsen or Dekang I feel lucky. If I can't find tobacco flavoured juice, unflavoured is my next option.
IMO, someone in the shop should know of the existence of "RY-4".

You could always get a tobacco, a caramel and a vanilla and mix them together to your liking. I prefer my RY4 to have more tobacco forward and caramel and vanilla background.

I am seeing juices with tobacco as a back note but very few if any straight TOBACCO flavors.

RY4D is the way for me. Had some store bought RY4 a few years ago and vaped flowers for a couple of days, no thank you

Reminding me of Halo's Tribeca IIRC, damn tasty stuff for a fresh quit smoker.

WoW I can't believe a vape shop don't know RY4...
Yeah times are changing...tides are turning. Seems the people are getting their fruits and bakes from the vape shops, instead of the grocer and bakeries

I wish I could find some Hangsen locally...their tobacco flavors are top-notch. Unfortunately, it seems that tobacco flavors are in small demand in shops.

I don't get to vape shops, so that really surprises me.

Not only that, the flavors change often. Whenever I found a flavor at a vape shop that I liked it would be available for several months and then disappear, to be replaced by the newer, trendier flavor - which is why I DIY my juice now.

Yeah RY4, to me is a standard. Every shop I know of has a version of it. I like it very much and enjoy the differences in the various makes available. Totally Wicked has an excellent RY4. It is available and nicotine strength from 3 mg to a whopping 36 mg. A bit pricey however as it is manufactured in the UK and is also sold in only 10 mL bottles. But in my opinion a fine product.

I have never vaped RY4, and I'm not a vendor but I know what it IS.

I don't think the majority of new vapers are THAT into tobacco flavors necessarily, but a store making stuff in house, you'd think they'd know it, unless they only carry specific vendor lines of manufacturers and some of them are Like That. Etc.

Surprising that no one had heard of RY 4. Almost every vaping vendor on the internet carries some version - thankfully, since it is one of my go to vapes. I read about Hangsen above - opened a new tab and ordered some of their RY 4.

Try their RY1 and RY3 to. You might be pleasantly surprised.

I, too, love a good RY4 and have not found any locally. I now do the bulk of my ordering online but do venture into B & M shops to see what they have and find mostly fruit and cereal flavors which I do not like at all. Thank God for online ordering!
