The Hangsen Thread

Oh, I remember that.. You changed you avitar it looks like I think..?.

I do wonder about flavor quality between vendors or batches.. Elder comes out flavorful for me at 3.5- 4%.. Its probably more of an individual taste bud thing than anything.

 

[Aurora-Oblivion]

Not me, I've had the same avatar here for two years, except for a few days a year or so ago.

You're probably right about both of those factoring into this, vendor/batches may slightly differ and and taste-buds probably make a huge difference too

What percent did you like the Blue Cola at? I picked up red and blue, and think I like blue better, but it's weak to me for a cola. I tried 7% initially, then took it to 10% and it turned nasty, now it tastes like a cinnamon vape, cola is lost and buried under the cinnamon in it

The red one did similar but not exactly the same. I know cinnamon is part of cola flavorings, but to go from weak cola at 7% to cinnamon big red gum at 10% took me by surprise. I don't think I'll be able to find a happy spot now

And to anyone considering possible mixing errors, no it's not a syringe or flavoring mix-up, I don't own cinnamon flavorings and I dripped these by the drop from flavoring bottle into the bottle.

I like the Blue Cola at 6% but it's my first time trying the flavor so I don't have any thing to compare to. I don't think it needs to be stronger to suit me though.

I think the flavor thing is mostly our own taste buds like others said but I also think it's a bigger problem with the mixing machines and workers than we might think. I remember reading some things on Dekang a few years back when their quality became a crap shoot. Heads did roll, if there was any accuracy to what I read. I mean, I read it on the internet, so it has to be true, right.

Hangsen is pretty big on calling out fake hangsen flavors.. They have a couple posts about it on thier site.. At one point they even said... If it doesn't taste right its not authentic.. !?! Lol

So either there are fakes out there or they are saying that to cover thier butts... They do show how thier bottles are patented so you know your getting authentic.

With all the flavoring profiles I can see a worker or machine screwing it up.

Could vendors be dupped buying from secondary suppliers? Maybe..

Has anyone asked RTS who they buy thier flavoring from directly.?

 

[JD1]

My guess would be that there's fakes out there. Also, I don't think the patented bottle would help any in the clone capitol of the world lol. But I still think the biggest thing is with the mixing machines, both at the factory and the vendors that rebottle.

Thanks, sounds like I started around average then. So you've never tried any Cola by other brands? If so, which and at what % did you like them?

 

[LoveVanilla]

There's definitely fake ejuice out there. I purchased some Liqua from FT that was unmistakeably counterfeit (but, of course, it wasn't labeled "authentic", LOL). However, never seen any indication or had any suspicions for the three suppliers discussed here (BH, RTS and BCV). Biggest variance has been with my equipment (notably the need for fresh wicking), or impatience to wait before vaping.

I got some Hangsen flavors from 2 different vendors and one of the vendors had the entire bottle sealed with wrap and the other bottles weren't sealed but both vendors bottles are exactly the same Hangsen labels. Both vendors from what I've read in here are authentic Hangsen sellers.

 

[EdT586]

Does anyone know where I can get Hangsen concentrates at a good price ?, I don't care where they are located just that their shipping rates are fair.
I tried buyhangsen.com, but these clowns want $21usd to ship two little bottles which I find is ridiculous !
I am looking to get a 30ml bottle of their Cuba and Turkish Tobacco concentrates.

I just received two bottles of Hangsen 50ML e-liquid, one has Prod date and BB date printed on the cap and the other does not, but both did not have the shrink wrapping on the caps, the "HS" is on the bottom of the bottle and on the rim of the two deck child safety cap. Looks authentic enough though !

 

[JeremyR]

RTS shipping is good usually. Not sure they have Cuba though... Oops I hear Canadian cost is high

Question for you long time Hangsen users .

What seems to be the sweet spot for the persentage of flavor with the tobacco flavors ?

So far I have tried RY1 and Turkish at 3% and let steep for 2 weeks and not much tobacco flavor .

Also tried some of the Cola Cigar at 3% but I only get cola and it's not a good cola at that to me . YMMV

Should I up the % or add som EM or some Smooth ? Tried the ACV but only a couple drops to 30ml mix and not much difference , bummer

Really trying to get something that I can vape all day to get off the stinkies and the steep time is making it hard to quit and the only store bought that even comes close to tobacco for me so far was Drip brand Turkish if that helps on where my buds are for flavor .

Thanks , Keith

 

[Exchaner]

I use RY1 at 5% and Turkish at 4%. Both produce good flavor. The lowest I have gone is 2% on Red USA. I am usually on the low side compared to others who go as high as 7%.

 

[JeremyR]

Those flavors are on the lighter side to begin with.... Try 5%

Highway is a strong one that's ready next day. You may like Arabic. Its a strong tobacco at 3.33%

Your on the right track, now start moving up in % and test next day... I find you can test for flavor strength after just a few days... Longer steeping usually only brings different elements of the flavor together better, but you can tell if its strong enough within the first week. (I've only used the tobaccos)

Are any of you familiar with Hangsen RY4 e-liquid from Mad Vapes? I have been buying that for a couple years, and after doctoring it a little myself, It is quite good, to me at least. Do you have a recipe that comes close to that.
Also, how long can the flavors be stored. Thanks.

 

[JeremyR]

Hangsen ry4 is hangsen ry4. The hangsen ry4 concentrate makes ry4, its the same flavoring they make the pre mix with.

Currently most places are sold out of it in the states.. Here's a couple sources..

RY4-HS - Bull City Vapor

Oh wait! RTS is showing 25 10ml bottles in stock. They must have reupped. I know a lot of people have been waiting..

10 ml RY4 Flavor (HS)

 

[oplholik]

Hmm, cool, I have 10mls of the ry4 flavoring. Guess I had better get a bigger bottle of it.

 

[JeremyR]

Oh you already have the flavor concentrate... The shelf life is about 2 years from the manufacturer.

I mix hangsens around 3-4%, but many like them around 5-7%.

I'm not familiar with it from Mad Vapes but I have vaped both the Hangsen RY4 e-liquid and my own diy from Hangsen RY4 flavor. They were different pg/vg ratios but were still pretty much the same to me. I'd say you'll be fine to give it a try.

Hangsen Highway is a great base tobacco for RY4 type mixes as well. Just pick up a couple of your favorite vanillas and caramels and that's all you really need. I don't always use them but I like to have AP, EM, and sweetener on hand as well and they're worth picking up to play around with if you haven't done so already.

As far as shelf life I think it varies but personally I toss a flavor if I haven't used it up within a couple of years.

Good catch. Looks like they've greatly expended their selection as well, with dozens of new (for them) Hangsen flavors added to their list. Prices seem steep to me but I guess competitive since Hangsen usually does cost more at most places.

Looks like RTS might be in the running for the new go to place for Hangsen.
