I have tried a few and they don't do it for me either but someone on this thread hit the nail on the head because I thought I would love to vape vanilla or caramel but don't seem to care for either. I have probably tried 50 or more flavors so far and the only one I LOVE is and I know I am a minority on this but camel (desert ship) from Dekang. I get it from health cabin and just ordered 200 mls

I have to say, when I first started vaping, RY4/RY3 were incredibly useful.

And then, my tastebuds started to change. At this point, I'm wondering if I'll ever find another tobacco flavor that I can vape for more than a few minutes. I even got one of the coveted bottles of BWB RY4. I can tell that if I'd had it at the right time, I would've loved it... but now, not really. I can vape it, certainly. It won't kill me. I might even enjoy some nuances of it. But the tobacco turns me off now.

Still, that said, the entire point to the RY4 (and the other RY series of tobaccos) was to mimic a type of flavoring that was a little vanilla, a little caramel, and a nice tobacco. Some people do well with this mix of flavors. Others don't. It's all about the taste buds... and what one person thinks is glorious, another will think is crap. :)

Not an RY4 fan either, but I vape it occasionally to remind me of why I quit smoking. To be honest, when I started smoking, I really didn't like the taste of tobacco. I ended up on a brand of regular cigarettes that were not for enjoying the taste, but that of tolerance. When asked, I would even say I preferred the taste of my brand, when in fact, it was in hindsight, a lesser of evils. If flavored tobacco was a target, I would have smoked a pipe. Think about how good grandpa's chocolate or cherry pipe aroma could smell. But then take a draw off of the pipe. . .egad.

As stated, my problem all this time with RY4 and ultimately the cause of my curiosity is that no RY4 I've tried has even been close to tobacco, caramel, etc. It tastes like wet, soggy, moldy, stale cigarette butts and armpit. No tobacco in sight. No caramel in sight. No vanilla in sight. I have a vanilla, a caramel and a tobacco that I blended together this morning - delicious. Not that burning armpit hairs that is RY4.

I've tried two RY4s. Altcigs and Vaporesence. Altcig's version is awesome for some reason when I vape it my wife craves caramel lol. The vaporesence it tasted like a cigarette to me and I don't want that at all lol. It would be good for someone just getting off the smokes though.

I've tried a couple, but Prime Vaping's PV4 is one of my all time favorite flavors, period. I honestly can't stand the other RY4's I've tried, but that stuff is amazing. It might be because I really can't pick up on any of the tobacco flavor at all, though. I know it's in there, but I can't tell. Every other one I've tried has tasted too much like tobacco for my tastes. The PV4 tastes more like flavored pipe tobacco smells, if that makes any sense.

I've not tried highbrow, but they're #3 on my list of vendors to try next, and I'll add ry4 to the list. Unfortunately, my wife and I are short on cash and I'm secretly cutting back on juice intake to save up and get her her own Saber Touch (pink, of course). I'll give it a shot, though!

if your short on cash why bother to continue to try something you clearly have such disdain for , lots of flavors to be tasted go for something else

I agree, maybe you should look into 555's for example , outlaw and swagger from pink spot are 2 of my favorites, KBV 55 is good also. I don't know what to say but obviously it is not for you, which brands of RY4 have you tried ?
