I placed a order from ecigexpress a few days ago. The package was accepted at USPS on the 26th with an estimated arrival date of 29th. Since the acceptance of the package, tracking does not show any movement. I created a ticket at ecigexpress and requested email updates from USPS. Would anyone say this is typical for mail from this location or should I be concerned. I'm really wanting to try the hangsen tobaccos I ordered. Thanks for commenting

I have been having a LOT of tracking issues lately with the mail. It's the mail's fault and unfortunately not much can be done about it. I just ordered from ECX last week and it arrived the day before the estimated time on the site. On the other hand, another package I was waiting on showed up the day AFTER it was supposed to, even though through the tracking, it seemed like everything is ok. I've had a package in "Florida" one day, according to tracking, only to have it in Ohio the next. USPS is slacking.

Anyone try the same flavor from Hangsen from both ECX and VapingZone? I think this question was asked before but I don't remember what the answer was. Specifically RY1. I thought (for whatever reason) I ordered it from ECX this whole time, only for me to look at the label today and realize that hey... I bought this from VapingZone. Not that it makes a difference, necessarily... The reason I bring it up is that I'm not having the same experience other people are having with this RY1 (and I believe most of these people got it from ECX). So I'm wondering if I'm not having the same results because I ordered mine from VZ?
I've tried the whole 1 drop per 1ML thing. 12 drops per 10ML thing... Those were kind of tainted because I had added ACV to it and I guess it turns out that I don't like that. (alters the taste to me) So I did the same (1 drop per 1ml) with nothing else added... and it literally tastes like nothing. At least with the vinegar I was getting a taste. This last batch is mixed by an actual percentage (my preferred method anyway) and we'll see how it turns out... but with all these success stories... I just have to think that something's wrong here.
If someone has the ECX and wants to trade some of the VZ I have to see if there's a difference, PM me.

I asked the question a few pages back and the answer I got back was something to the effect " As compared to what?" So not much help there. I went ahead and ordered from ecigexpress being it seemed that's where everyone else orders from. Got my order pretty quickly but haven't had time to do anything with them yet.

I ordered the same day and my tracking is stalled at accepted also with a estimated delivery date of yesterday. This is the second time this has happenned for me. When I order only flavors I get them quick. This one had a bottle of PG and flavors.

I am going higher than the 1 drop per mil on my Hangsen tobaccos, I find a higher percent of 5-7% works better for me- plus a weeks steep.

I average 42 drops to 30ml base

I mix a few of the Hangsen Tobacco's for my buddy and he likes strong flavor, but he has never asked for more flavor with my mixing @ 3%

I mix the Hangsen tobaccos between 5-8%. I have gone up to 10%. My nic base is 75/25-80-20. I also mix based on the equipment I have. I use a dbox, protank, evod and T3s.

I have Green Dew and Blue Cola from Hangsen. My hubby would like me to make a 15ml bottle of each flavor - Mountain Dew and Pepsi. I have 50/50 48mg for starters. Target strength is around 18mg. He is one of those that likes the flavor right in your face. His taste buds are pretty worn out...He's almost 59 and was a 2 PAD Camel smoker for about 43 years. Been vaping now for about 1 year. What would be a good percentage recommendation for each flavoring. Very new to DIY...Any help is deeply appreciated. If other flavors are needed to make them spot on, that is no problem....I have many.

For whatever reason; I know it's weird and I know they both are sold as "Hansen Essence" but as of about a year ago (the last time I bought anything from VZ) the flavors/liquids/juices are not the same/don't taste the same. I prefer ECX, but to be fair the only flavor I bought from both vendors was "Hangsen Essence RY4." The RY4 from VZ is more brown in the color of liquid and has more sweetness to it's flavor, which gunks up my coils quicker than the ECX "Hangsen Essence RY4", which is a bit more light in color and not as sweet.

Here's a thread with others sharing their experience with this issue:

Hey Rin,

I have only tried pipe tobacco from Ecigexpress. I first tired 3% (as at a test on my calculator it showed that 3% at 10ml sample would be 1 drop per ml), at 18mg 70pg/30vg, and the flavor was pretty lite. I bumped it up to 7% and it was good, pretty sweet at first, but now just tried it again 2 weeks later dripping and flavor is really mellow. For me I may go up to 9 or 10% and see how that goes.

I have 3 more hangsen flavors coming and think I may start at least at 7%

I'm just confused as to why my experience is so different from everyone else's. I will let this last batch steep a week and go from there. I didnt even add Vape Wizard (which I add to all my tobaccos) just to see if that's making the difference. (which I doubt) I'll have to force myself to be patient.

Thanks for the link. The advice about looking for YNDK on the cap should help quite a bit.
