RY4 and 555

[thewomenfolk]

Are the RY4 and 555 tobacco flavors and if so, are they sweet at all, and do they all taste the same from different vendors, or different?

I cringe when I think about lighting up a cigarette again, because especially in the last year, they tasted just awful. So I'm not looking for a 'real' cigarette tasting juice. But I am looking for a different kind of taste than the usual juices. I so much wish I could explain, maybe something a little toasted but with a faint sweetness.

Try them out! I just got an order in from Myfreedomsmokes.com. They had a 6 sampler pack of 10ml for like 25$ which seemed like a great deal to me. I like the 555 better than the Ry4. They both have a slight sweet flavor to them with a tobacco like taste, but the Ry4 is more sweet.

Yep they are supposed to be tobacco flavors. I haven't tried them out yet, but I got some 6ml sampler bottles from Nhaler.com for $4 a piece and they have them both. Just beware that the shipping for me for 4 bottles of these samplers was $10...I assume this to be a flat rate for most if not all orders.

I'm with Saints on this one. Like the 555 alot better then RY4. Gonna have to try from different vendors though. I haven't had any flavors that taste exactly the same from different suppliers. Here's something you may also want to try. I didn't care for Cuban Cigar all that much until I added 25% 555 to it. It's a nice tobacco flavor for me now.

RY4 Is a caramel/tobacco flavor, 555 is a nutty/tobacco flavor. RY4 is my all day flavor. Most places have it and they are similar tasting. But the 555 varies from store to store. My facvorite has been from "My vapor Store" because it was smooth and nutty flavored. Other places have been spicier or has peppery undertones.
Oh, and RY4 stands for Runyan formula #4.

555 & Virginia are my current favorites (555 being my "go to juice, I love that stuff!).

RY4 is my sweet hit (and nothing like tobacco in any way shape of form IMO). I will be getting a bunch of more exotic/adventurous flavours before the end of the year, but I am well stocked with my "staples" for now.

Thanks so much for all your opinions! Now at long last I have some idea what these things are. And thanks, MaryKay for explaining what RY4 means. I wonder what 555 means. My next juice order will include both I think!

555 is a cigerette brand from what I've heard.

I think so, but have never seen it. Never have seen 'Hilton' either. 555 is sometimes written 555/state express. Probably a google would get you there.

RY4 is super sweet and i dont think its a tobacco flavor. I like it but couldnt vape it all day. Its like candy IMO. Definitely worth buying. Haven't tried 555. WIth all these flavors, I find myself vaping tobacco less and less. My next order probably wont have any tobacco flavors.

Not all RY4 is sweet. Dekang version is. Joye version not so much. And it is always listed in the tobacco listings but frankly, I've never gotten the tobacco taste - perhaps faintly but I'm pretty sure it is a base. It's just the other stuff is stronger, unlike Hilton, Kent, flu cured, virginia where you have a good tobacco flavor plus something else.

 

[Madness008]

Yeah I have Dekangs RY4.

Just to put it out there, thus far I have yet to run across any flavor that tasted at all like a cig, which is awesome. Sometimes with the tobacco I'll get a hint of a nice cigar flavor, sometimes sweet, maybe nutty. Just all around nice, unlike a cig.

RY4 as mentioned above is a caramel tobacco, which a co-worker of mine said that it tasted a bit like a caramel espresso. Sweet, with a hint of a nutty flavor. I love RY4 and smoke that more then any other flavor so far, Vanilla, and Red Bull pulling up closely behind.

I have 555 and it has a rather nutty flavor, like some cigars do, and has the closest thing to a tobacco flavor I've noticed. The Marlboro is pretty close to that, but still taste nothing like a regular cig. That stuff is dirt, tastes like dirt. I don't think anyone is interested in making burning dirt flavor.

 

[Deschain]

I don't get along with the marlboro at all, but I have vowed to smoke at least two carts of it a day (just to get rid of the damn stuff!).

Adding some RY4 has made it more tolerable, that said, it's still my least favorite vape to date.

Yeah I have Dekangs RY4.

My wife's favorite and mine was Janty RY4 which she doesn't like I still like hers though - it (the dekang) is one juice that smells really good. Not that the others smell bad, just that I can always tell when she's begins vaping.

lol

With juice discussions you rarely get the same answer twice. I like RY4 better than 555 personally.

I think Marlboro is the best and most like a cigarette.

I enjoy watching the juice review videos, but more and more I find them of limited use. You really have to try it and see if you like it.

I suggest cleaning out your atomizer before trying a new flavor though. You might get some strange combinations otherwise.

A sampler would be a good idea, or just pick out a few popular flavors and take a chance. Its pretty fun to try them out.

BTW Hilton and 555 make a nice mix.

I agree, the marlboro is my least favorite as well. Yet, mixing it with another juice seems to make it just fine to get through. It still tastes much better then a normal cig though. You will get spoiled by all the other flavors, that's a given.

 

[Deschain]

Goony & Scrye - yeah, it's all a matter of personal taste..."one mans meat is another mans poison" as they say.

I am concentrating on stocking up on stuff I regularly vape right now, but I'm gonna have a little blow out at Christmas and just order a stack of "fun flavours" like apple, blueberry, red bull, chocolate, green tea etc.

Edit: apart from all the health advantages, this hobby is so much more fun than smoking... mucking around with new flavours and mixing them up etc.

[TheScrye]

mmmm.... redbull

 

[Dredbull]

Not all juices are created equal, I have found that out the hard way.
My best advice is find a few great suppliers and try their samples.
I have had 2 differing ry4 1 is almost able to be vaped, the other I mean seriously I have no idea what it tastes like. I might have to try and cut it down.
