Hangsen #5 and Highway are pretty alike. Subtle differences regarding nuttiness and sweetness. Maybe highway is more "cigalike" than #5; i also find it more nutty, but basically they are pretty close one to the other. (I prefer #5)

Highway is one of the few tobaccos I've tried that I'm not tempted to add a 'little something' to lol. But having said that, what I'm vaping at the moment does have a drop or two of Ice Cream and Italian Cream added.

How are you mixing Highway JD1? I mix other Hangsens at 7% but Highway at 4%, since I find this flavor on the strong side, same as "Arabic"
I started at 3 percent and I've been pretty happy with it there so I haven't experimented with it any. What I'm vaping today is part of a 30 ml bottle that had been steeped for about 3 weeks before I broke it out a couple of days ago.
I also poured off a couple ml and added a couple drops of ice cream and Italian cream to it. That was good, but I won't be adding it to the other 5 or 6 ml that I have left lol.
In the future, I'll probably just keep this as a straight mix and use some my other tobaccos for my ry4 type mixes.

All of these will be my first time using the Hangsen line for these flavors. Did I do good or do I have some dogs in the mail lol?
I read through the remaining pages of this thread hoping you commented on the Red Delicious Apple, Strawberry, Vanilla and Peanut Butter flavors.
What did you think of them? I've tried CA and TFA Peanut Butter and neither are great. Also looking for a good Vanilla and Strawberry. I have the HS Red Delicious Apple as well and tried it at 5% to start out. I either get no flavor or just weirdness. Sat it aside to let it steep to see if that makes the difference.
I only have 2 Hangsen flavors so far but the Grape is awesome! Tried it on a whim in search of a good grape (it will be the main ingredient in the recipe) and it was good enough to turn my focus to HS for future orders of other flavors.
I don't vape tobaccos often but will be ordering the HS #5 on my next order to play with. Been digging the Velvet Cloud White Beard and wouldn't mind coming up with a smooth flavored tobacco for my arsenal.
I didn't post my thoughts on them because, to be honest, I was a little underwhelmed by most of the flavors on my order. Except for the vanilla, those you mention all seem the same to me - pretty good flavors, just weak and attempts to increase dosage seems to make them go sideways. I figure it could just be me and my wonky taste buds lol.
The Vanilla tastes pretty good but it's a coil gunker.
The only flavors that will be a repeat for me is the Highway and the Litchi. Also, the Italian Cream is a good strong cream flavor.
I kind of assumed as much but just wanted to make sure. I know I forget/don't have time to post things from time to time and just wanted to check in. Thanks for posting your opinions about them. You never did find a good mix for the Red Delicious Apple then? I smelled my 5% mix again tonight and it smelled good but didn't have a clean RDA to try it in. Thanks again.
Has anyone used the Turkish and had any success?? I'm really having trouble getting it right. I used to but a premixed turkish from a retail store here in town and I absolutely loved it! I'm sitting here now with 2 different bottles...one is pinkish colored and very dry and the other is clear and flavorless. I'm almost wondering if I forgot to put the flavor in...lol!
Rather than try going through what I did, I'd rather just start over with something someone else has already tried...
I speed steep with 150° water for 24 hrs...

I can only comment on a few in your list, and I haven't tried all of the flavors I've got from HS
I still have to try the Italian Cream, and Caramel on your list.
Blue Cola: 3% solo, was good. I've tried several cola's from other company's, and they were all way to sweet.
BTY, the "Red Cola" at 4% was to strong, and to sweet ..didn't care for it, but love the "Blue Cola" ..big difference between the two.
Strawberry: I went up to 8% solo, and it's a weak flavoring. I found the Inawera Shisha Strawberry to be the yummy for me.
Vanilla: I went from 6 to 11% solo. It was a good tasting vape, but I didn't taste much, if any vanilla in it .. still had a nice flavor.
Coconut: 8% solo, didn't taste any coconut, but that could be just me .. I can't taste coconut by anyone.
Juicy Peach: 5-6% solo has a good true peach flavor
Mango: good but needs a higher % that their average flavorings ..
Mojito: 6% solo, good, it's citrusy, lemon, lime, and a touch of menthol ..refreshing.
Aniseed 8% solo, light licorice, sweet, nice for a change up, not like a heavy licorice.
Tobacco's:
Desert Ship, good at 3-5 % ...Flue Cured 5% solo, mild, good ...Golden V1 8% super mild, good ... Highway 5% solo, one of my favorites ...Indian 4% solo good
You may want to start lower, but they are all mild and smooth...The RY4 is good too... Gold & Silver 8% it's so mild there's almost no taste.
I don't care for "in your face" tobacco flavors, so I like most of the HS Tobacco's.
So-So's for me
Cappuccino 8% solo, nice vape, but no cappuccino.
Caramel Macchiato, nope
Cheesecake 8% solo, nice but no CC, need to try higher % before giving up on it.
Chocolate Cream 6-13% solo, no taste
Milk Chocolate 18% solo, mild flavor
Toffee 8-16% solo, no flavor
White Chocolate, a nice flavor in recipes, to bland for solo
Still have others waiting to be tried, but that's my
so farRemember, flavoring are like pre-made juices .. you may hate what I like, and vise versa.

Nice run down slots!
One thing that stood out to me was that you don't get anything from g&s ... Odd, at 3.5% it's really strong for me. So strong its becomes overbearing. However I'm running rayon wick at 20-25w with 2 mm air hole and lung hits. The lung hits seem to increase the flavor sensation as it hits the back of the tounge more I think.

Hey goddess,
What type of battery Atty and power level are you using?we may be able to help you better. What percentage have you tried
Not really as stand a lone. I like the taste but it's just too weak for me. 2% in a tobacco mix makes a good change of pace vape though.

The Italian Cream seems to be a good strong cream flavor. 2% should be a good starting place for it. The Caramel is different. Try it at 6% and see what you think.
I agree on the Blue Cola. I'm liking it at 4% and it doesn't seem to need much steeping time either.
I enjoyed your comments. Thanks for posting.
Been out of the loop for a while. Been in the groove of my favorite HS tobaccos for the past year. It's all I vape. Time to re-order. Is RTS the best place nowadays seeing the Buyhangsen is done?
I've been stuck on variations of Desert Ship, Tab, and Deluxe almost exclusively. DS is still my all time fave and may never change. I want to try out a few more in the lineup. I'm thinking #5, Gold and Silver, and Golden VI. Are all those on the slightly mild/touch of sweetness side?
I don't like dry or ashy. Nutty and grassy is totally fine.

To me #5 is very good, somewhat nutty and off dry. But you might find it ashy. Great taste and balance for me. I think it's worth to give it a shot.
I would have recommended Indian but it's on the dry side. It is grassy and earthy to me. Nice complexity with layers of earthy tobacco goodness. Kind of like the fresh unlit tobacco of Organic American Spirits.
I'm still torn for Gold and Silver. It's hard to describe, earthy tobacco notes, a bit of something fruity (?) maybe, and a bit touch of light mint/menthol for me.
On the sweeter side, there's Arabic. Not like a dessert but definitely not dry either. Some spiciness, I'd say maybe allspice, with tobacco. Smooth and very enjoyable.

I may go back and experiment some more with it, but to me, it was just like TFA's Smooth.
I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
It won't be a loss to me though. I'll use it like I do Smooth ... I like to add a little bit to some of the fruits.
It really adds "body" to the fruits, but you can't taste it in there.
Nice suggestions ... I'll start there.The Italian Cream seems to be a good strong cream flavor. 2% should be a good starting place for it.
The Caramel is different. Try it at 6% and see what you think.

Yup, going to finally go back to work on the "Rum & Coke" now that I have a decent cola.
I don't comment too much, but I always hang around here to see what everyone else is saying, since I have so many HS flavorings
Love the "feedback" you guys provide
I like RTS really well, and don't think you'd go wrong with them. My next order may be from Bull City though, because I'm wanting to try a couple more Inawera flavors.
Got a couple 5 mil bottles of RY4 and love that stuff. Needs a little more flavor but has that traditional RY4 flavor.
I first mixed it at 3% and thought it was good but a little weak. I took it to 7% and thought it was going to be good but after 4 weeks steeping the hay or grass note was too strong to suit me plus some of the other flavors seemed to have faded or maybe just pushed back. I wound up using it at 2% and mixed with some other flavors.
One thing to try though is test it every day because it might come together for you after only a day or two of steeping.
I think several on here mix it at 7%, steep about 3 weeks, and just love it. Hopefully you'll find a percent that will work for you also.
I have multiple Aspire ET-S BVC Glassomizers and a Nautilus Mini. I also have a RBA that I've given up on . I have 2 Smoktech 1300 nAh batteries, I small ego spinner, a Vision Spinner and an MVP 2.0. However, this has nothing to do with my ejuice
