David: Hi , thanks for sharing your story here. That throat cancer thing is what scared me so much to want to start vaping instead. What's your situation now? Did you get treated? Can you tell me a bit about it? Also where do you get your RY 4 from?
Regarding RY 4:
I'm finding that it's really nice but it's got a very 'dry' taste to it... it's not a moist tobacco flavor for sure. Reminds me of dunhills or winstons.. Unlike marlboros which don't give you this sorta after taste (i'm talking bout analogues here).
I'm also puffin' on Juice .....'s Ultimate Pipe. Now this one is very very similar to RY4 From LF's. But it doesn't have that dry taste, and there's a lot more caramel or some sorta butter scotch taste to it. It's also not as spicy as RY 4. What's that spicy flavor btw, does anyone know?
Mechanicallighter,
Thanks for the reply. I had major surgery that remove large amounts of flesh in throat. I also had my jugular vein removed that part of the tumor was attached on. I also had quite a few lymph nodes taken out in the lower neck. After I healed some from the sugery I received a stretch of radiation. I was a analog and pipe smoker for a long time. I developed a sore on my gum. Went in for a scan and a week later was sent down to the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor MI. Fantastic hospital for my kind of cancer. I now have gone through 3 scans and glad to say they show no cancer. I'm lucky so far. The bummer part of the whole thing is I quit smoking for almost a year before getting cancer detected.
My doctor said he doesn't mind me vaping. He's going to reccomend it to patients that have to quit analogs! They were giving a prescription of the nic enhalers to the die hards. That's me. The e cig is much better to quit with.
I've bought RY4 from many of the sites. I bought from chineese sights several years ago that had the old recipe. Great stuff. The problem for me is that only a handfull of sites offer 36mg. I don't like to get 24mg and add more nic. That often waters down most juices as far as flavor.
I now buy mostly from FSUSA"S 36 mg Ry4. It isn't like other Ry4's. It does have a rich tobacco flavor, Loads of vapor at 50 vg to 50 Pg. The throat hit is awesome at 36mg. I need this type of strong TH to keep off of analogs. It has worked and I'm at around 28 months without analogs. Fsusa's Ry4 has a flavor of it's own. As I stated it's not like the original, but to me darn good and satisfying. I also vape Wyatt Earp in 36mg from FSUSA. Same thing, it's rich, loads of vapor and TH. They sell larger bottles of juice. I've been buying 60 ml for 25.00 or 120 ml for 40.00. Darn good IMO.
I'm not a big fan of juice that's all VG. It's to weak in the TH department. I like either 50 PG to 50 VG or even 70 pg to 30 VG.
One thing I know is that RY4 is a juice that smokers can quit analogs with, once you get the proper mg level for you. A mix of pg has much more flavor than straight VG.
Take care,
Dave
