Hey Danny, yes I have been lurking around for a few months and you do seem to like your 'baccy strong, haha. Still, very helpful posts from ya even though I prefer mild
I prefer tobaccos by far. An occasional dark coffee, dark chocolate or dry nut has been nice in moderation. Dry & bitter, non-sweets for me. I was unflavored for a looong time. Had a minty/menthol binge at one point, haha.
I am still disappointed with all the Hangsen's that I cannot taste at 8%. At this point it's not an aging issue, as they have been sitting around for ~2 months in a "warm" location. What the fudge! I would really like to continue trying the full line of Hangsen tobacco, but I have become hesitant. This flavoring journey of mine has been such a pain in the donkey hole.
I have been full circle too, when I came back to the forums I started with Hangsen, but decided to go "all in" in my search for ANY flavor I could enjoy. I was impressed at how much the DIY world had changed since I was last on the forums. Not only are there more companies in the game , but the transparency of ingredients & emphasis on vaping specific ingredients inspired me.
Tried sooo many from other companies, haha, ugh. Don't get me wrong, there are some amazingly tastey tobacco's out there. Unfortunately the ones I have enjoyed tend to be "gunky" or produce an offensive second-hand stentch, which are both unacceptable
for my preferences.
Other flavorings tend to be, in my opinion, more suited for the "flavor fiddlers" who enjoy mixing up batches on a regular basis, constantly experimenting and trying new things. People who seem to be able to tolerate most flavors from the start. Nothing against that at all, Just not what I am personally looking for.
Which has led me back to Hangsens, haha.
I have a full wishlist over at BuyHangsen for the 5ml sample bottles. Very economical for taste testing, but I can't decide whether I want to continue investing the time. I do like RY1. USA mix is also nice, if only nostalgic. Reminds me of the Flue-cured from "bestecig" i used for the first 1-2 years of my vaping career, haha.
Haha, feel like I'm writing in a diary..."Dear Diary..."
Next day delivery for some of us
Agree, they are good people.
