The Hangsen Thread

[JeremyR]

Jeremy, I did list them in a past post. Flue, Indian, Red USA I cannot taste at 8% man. Highway & Deluxe I can now taste, also 8%, but they're mild. Arabic was potent at 2%. Ry1 has been great up to 3%. Again, this is just me. There are many more people reporting success with these flavors, i am in the minority.

Arabic is my adv at 3.33%. So far for me 8% has always killed the flavor. I mix each one at 3.33% or 1 ml/ 30 ml base. Sometime 3.5%.. With Some just kicking it to 4% increases the flavor substantially. USA red is one that at 4% its too strong and I dislike the flavor but its tolerable at 3.33%. I also regularly vape highway and des ship and gold and silver at 3.33 and get the correct flavor from it.

I just bought Hotel, congress, and elder captain all mixed at 3.33 and been vaping them. Flavors are starting to pop now at 5 days.

My mixes are 100Vg and it takes about three days to get good and to prime in a week.

Yeah hangsen has a blend of three tobacco extracts they use as their base flavor it's noticable at different levels in all tobacco flavors ranging from barely detectable to very detectable.

Hmmm, im really starting to wonder if I got some dud concentrates here. I started them all at 3% and gradually increased as I wasnt tasting anything. Theyve been sitting around for months now, still zilch. All using the same base from the same batch...all bottles have been together in the same warm location. Just doesnt make sense.

I wish I liked the Arabic, thats one I can taste well at 2%, haha.

 

[JeremyR]

Yeah the Arabic is by far one of the strongest I've tried.. Other flavors kinda pale in comparison strength wise.

But we all do taste differently so who knows. Takes about 3 days before you can really tell if the flavor is there for some of them. So i initially when I first started using them I went way over by not waiting long enough.

I tried to find you previous post before but had no luck.. Anyway what are you vaping them on? Mod and atty?

 

[EbenezerScrews]

Yea man, Im used to tasting something different than others. First time I just dont taste anything, haha.

I'm using Screwdrivers, Provari, Microstick & passthroughs. Atties include 901, 501, Sofia, eBaron & Spheroid...a couple Igo drippers. Lower wattages 7-8w.

 

[Dixie1954]

I found it on here BD Tobacco Flavoring by Hangsen 10ml - ecigExpress

 

[JeremyR]

Sounds pretty good who's gonna try it and let us know?

Just a though. It seems that the stronger flavors you can taste but the milder more aromatic flavors your having problems with. Have you tried vaping just the base alone to see if it has any strong after taste that may be masking the flavoring. I've had some really skunky NIC solution that tasted chemical, harsh and had a very nasty strong tobaccoish peppery taste. This may be the problem with why you are not tasting the more delicate flavors. A good base should be just about flavorless.

If you find the base is giving an unpleasent taste then you can narrow it down further by vaping the PG alone then the VG alone. Likely you will find it's bad NIC.

 

[EbenezerScrews]

I'm using VT, which is supposedly one of the best for allowing flavorings to come through, right now.

Maybe I do prefer the ole peppery nic though, hmmm, never did me wrong all these years, haha. Got me thinking...

I may mix these up with the HV I have stored, see what happens.

EDIT: I have also vaped both the PG & VG alone when I received it, as I usually do, just in case, haha. I store that in glass in the fridge, and its only a few months old. I am .... when it comes to cleaning everything as well. Boiling bottles in distilled water, 99.956% iso propyl soaks on tougher flavors. Warm & soapy scrubbing & Star San on anything I cant boil....

 

[dannyv45]

I use vapors tek and love the way it brings out the subtle notes of the finer flavors but you may be on to something. VT is great for the fruit and desert mixes and it makes a great neutral base but for the hard core tobacco vapors such as myself it may be a factor. I do like a strong tobacco taste and you are correct the WL and MFS NIC did have that special taste that catered to tobaccos. But then they also had the run of bad overpowering batches as well. More MFS then WL but still you should check it.

 

[Blueser]

What I got from the WL nic was a nasty metallic taste. I was vaping at 18mg and had to go all the way down to 6mg before I could somewhat mask the metallic taste and even then it was still there. My VT works fine with tobacco mixes

 

[dannyv45]

I've gotten that metallic taste from MFS in a bottle I bought in my early vaping days. I was pretty inexperienced to know if this was unusual and asked around. No one really seemed to know what I was talking about and most blamed it on my hardware. I then switched to WL and that took care of that. You are correct that VT NIC works real well but for those that have had that stronger peppery taste and may have become accustom to it will likely miss that in VT NIC. VT NIC is the purest flavorless nick available and is awesome. I have had some great results using VT with the more airomatic tobaccos it really brings out flavor notes that do not come out using other NIC.

Danny, is it true that VT nicotine gives less throat hit compared to others? I want to order it but th is very important to me. Thanks!

 

[Exchaner]

I have also found VT to have a mild throat hit.

 

[juiceapprentice]

Hi all, what are hangsens best flavors, in your opinion? I only have pineapple and mango right now and enjoy them both. I also noticed you guys are buying from buyhangsen.com They list 10ml for 5.99 where ecx sells 10ml for $3. Is there a reason you prefer to buy direct?

 

[EbenezerScrews]

I do find VT has less throat hit, I am also a TH addict, haha. It's really not a major difference, to me, but noticeable. I mix at 18-24mg/ml.

Cant say I have ever noticed a rubbery, axle grease or metallic taste from any nic I've ordered, but I havent tried many of the ones being mentioned. I've been DIY for 5+ years, mostly unflavored. I've got my nic from Totally Wicked back in the day & Xtreme vaping more recently. Since Ive returned to the forum ive tried branching out a bit, have VT & HV now. Haven't tasted HV yet, but there was no smell when I rebottled it.

Problem I have is I don't really have anything to gauge what kinda flavors I like and which types of nic work best with them as the only flavor out of hundreds I have tried are RY1, and years ago the Flue-Cured from bestecig(premixed). Everything else tastes or smells or looks like poopy, to me, haha.

Im a weidro though, its been well documented.

Jeremy, Do let us know how you like the new flavors you got, and what % you mixed them. I imagine with 100% vg you'd go a bit higher % than usual. I didn't get much out of Congress even at 5%. Still debating if I should try the HS Nic you suggested. Problem is, I already have a bucket-full - enough to outlast even my descendants.

Some of ECX's are on sale for a great price, for sure. I have a cart I'm undecided on, haha. The difference is ECX rebottles theirs. People have reported issues in consistency with rebottled flavoring(not limited to ECX or Hangsen, any rebottled flavoring).

BuyHangsen's come in authentic sealed Hangsen bottles, so there shouldn't be any of those consistency problems.

As far as flavor recommendations, Im not much help sorry, haha, but if you want to try their tobaccos, RY1 is the place to start, most people get along with it

 

[KimchiMonger]

It like famous smoking, sweet and tart and taste like fart. Some say it has nice popcorn feet odor

No questions left! Added to my cart then went back and made it two knowing I'm gonna love this.

Yes it's true but it's not a drastic difference. More like delivering the throat hit without it being overly harsh.

Hi Hangsen people, just dropping in to say thanks for this great thread, I've been coming here reading for over a year now and have been introduced to some concentrates/essences that I've really enjoyed. Decided it was time to write something on here so I went through the new member posting initiation and here I am.

I'm a tobacco girl and my ADVs are Arabic and Indian, with thanks to recommendations from people on here, I would never have tried those two without reading this thread as I can't buy them in the UK but I got motivated to try them so I searched elsewhere and found them. I also like Hangsen Virginia. I recently decided to try a few others and a couple of days ago I mixed some Turbosmog, Cherry Cigar, 7 Wolves, Magic Mix, My Seven and D'Doff. Waiting for those to mellow out with a little trepidation

I believe I like sweet, salty and spicy, not so much the nutty flavours. Some of the Hangsen concentrates I find a bit bland too, I like strong flavours, I mix Indian at 8% and Arabic at 7%.

I'm looking to find something to blend with the less strong ones, like the Hotel, Highway (555), Ancient. I like Cubana, but it seems like that one could benefit from blending with something else too, I'm just not sure what, any suggestions would be great
