I have some mixed and steeped, and just took a smell -- clearly has cloves.
Thanks for that ... I'm definitely not a "clove" person :cry:
To me, it overpowers everything else ..
I've even had to throw out some "gingerbread flavoring" because the clove ruined it.
So thanks again, saved me some $$$$ :p

I've been concerned about Hangsen (tobacco) availability in the near future. I took advantage of the BCV 15% off and did a little stocking up today. Yeah, hit the free shipping mark.... twice. If I did the non tobacco vaping, I wouldn't be too worried about flavorings. Anything 'tobacco' related seems to have a bulls eye on it.

Yes, that is my read as well. Think the FDA has a big red bullseye painted on these. Asked FT to carry the essence but no word yet.

Flavor of the month for me:

Mild Blend

Off the bat mixed up @ 4% by itself it tastes just like ECX tobacco absolute (yum) but stronger with a good throat kick.

Mixed it up with menthol last night and let it sit and it's a pretty good mix. I usually go for straight tobacco, but once in a while I like the menthol.

Good tobacco base or straight up mix in my opinion. Does not carry the funky sweet base that certain Hangsen's do i.e. Tobacco, Indian, USA Mix ect...

Anyone know how to convince BCV to ship Hangsen (HS) flavoring to Canada?

:)

I will share my honey mix:
Mix this honey at 0.5 to 2% wif your HS essence flavoring if it needs a honey accent:

10 ml Bottle:
15% - 1.5 ml Honey (FA)
5% - 0.5 ml Honey Bee (FLV)
0.5% - 2 drops Honey (TPA)
0.5% - 2 drops Honey Buckwheat (BF)
7.9 ml PG/VG

I use this for normal honey, to me, it's a good mix of all kinds of honey. Like the honey we buy. I realize that drops in a flavor mix seems ridiculous but the BF honey actually adds a darker color with 2 drops.

If I want darker honey, I simply use a small amount of Baker Flavors Honey (Buckwheat).

Been thinking about posting here since it's been dead.. I'm still all hangsen..

Ran out of Arabic a week ago, oops.. Mixed a few flavors.. Been vaping desert ship, G&S, and highway... Couldn't do the Indian all day.. Had to dump it, the flavor got to me after a while. The ry3 hasn't seen much rotation either just prefer the other 3 more right now.

Edit to add - I mixed these all around 3.3% the G&S at 2.9 and it's plenty strong.

What didn't you like about Indian? It's been my ADV for over a year, maybe two. I also like Arabic and Cohiba but not as much as Indian.

Lately I've been experimenting with tons of other HS and INW flavours but I just keep on going back to the Indian all the time. Trying to replace my ADV with some others as it's getting harder to find someone to ship HS to the UK and it's becoming harder to get a variety of HS flavours here. Sure, some are easy to buy, but Indian isn't one of them.

Yeah I meant to edit... It's not bad like unvapable.. It's a personal preference of flavor that's all mech. Doesn't mean someone else might like it.. I mixed it at 3.4%.

One way I'm different is I have never vaped anything other than tobacco, anything else seems weird to me.

Something about Indian doesn't agree with my taste buds.. Like some type of I don't know taste, can't pinpoint it... Wasn't bad for a bit, but Not adv' able for me personally.

So your Indian is to my Arabic.. Can't get enough and nothing can really fill it's shoes.

Goin on 3 Years with Arabic as my all day vape. :) I'd say I like it, many others don't. ;)

I asked @Detroit Doug the other day, whether or not he tastes a slight mint note in the HS DS. He said he's never noticed it. I mixed some the other day at 8% with some NET Virginia and I got an undeniable mint note in the mix. Is it just me? :(

I mix it at around 3.3%, so at 8% it's going to be a completely different flavor.

Mostly it's musty or a grain drying smell. I never noticed mint, vaped it all day yesterday. With mint in mind I will vape again and see. Could be way way background and your just more sensitive to mint.

It's one of the things I can't abide in a vape.....that and floral.

Maybe I'll let it sit in the steep closet for a month and let it "think about what it's done"! And I'll mix up another batch at a lower percentage to see if that'll fix the issue.

From my tasting notes on HS DS, after testing it at 5%, the thought was I wanted more flavor.....but maybe HS DS just isn't for me if this is the case. ;)

Same here, I've never vaped anything other than tobacco either and I have a definite preference for HS flavours. Yup, your Arabic is to my Indian! I like Arabic, but I can't take it for more than an hour or so.

I've been trying to figure out what that undertone is in the Indian, it's that funky note that I really enjoy! Maybe raisin or caramel or something... also I find it vapeable without a real long steep, just a few days is good for me :)
