Arabic tobacco-Hangsen

Really good at 7% with 2% AP.

Isn't 2% AP too overpowering?
I'm getting a really pronounced grassy earthy note from the arabic that I don't like that much, will AP mellow that note? or what would you recomend? I have a 5ml bottle screaming to be modified but don't know with way to go

I found 2% perfect with arabic. I say 2% because arabic has little to no ap in it. Others like T5 and highway already have a good amount of AP so this is why the percent recommendation is usually lower on those. For 5ml's add .1ml (that's 1/10th of a mil not 1ml). That can easly be measured with a 1ml syringe. It will help with the grassyness but won't eliminate it. I happen to love the earthy note so this is why I'm so partial to arabic.

THanks! I used .075 or 1.5% I find it easier to add than to subtract!
Does it need steeping for this addition or am I good to go?

So your a lick the bottom of a dirty ashtray type of vaper. I was to when I first quit smoking. If you like that look for MAXI tobacco. It's the closest I've found to a real cigarette. Unfortunitly I've only been able to find it premixed.

I've made it through about 33 pages of this thread so far. Only 109 left to get caught up current. :blink: But I wanna play now. ;)

My story... I have been doing DIY for a few months now with TPA/LA flavors. Have some pretty good ADV's, but am not impressed with many of the flavors as stand alones, or mixed. While all of my concoctions have been vapable, they are still hit or miss becoming an ADV. With Danny's guidance I just got a new UC, the repeat ADV's I steeped in it so far have not been as good as when done the long way, so I am still in the trial and error thing with the UC.

Anyway, I want to dive into the Hangsen flavors, with both stand alone and maybe 2-3 mixed. From what I've read so far, start small, 1 drop per ml, 3%, etc. So they sound way better than the 40+ TPA flavors I have been playing with. Will probably order the Hangsen from ECX.

What I'm thinking for the first plunge...

Highway
T5
Cappuccino
Caramel
Cherry
Cream
Juicy Peach
Red Cola
DJ Rum
Toffee
Vanilla

I'm not big on fruits, but have seen a lot of rave about JP. The Cherry SA maybe, but a mix for the cola at least. I'm more into the drinks (hope some of these will work with my LA Keoke Coffee that I love), some deserts; and not too wild or strong tobaccos. Adding cool is OK, I'm not into menthol. Seems like most of these can be stand alone, and many of them would go with others for a mix.

Would appreciate the thoughts from those with Hangsen experience. Please LMK if I am on the right track, up in the night, if there are other flavors that would make more sense, and any suggestions of percentages/mixes to try with these. Hopefully the 40+ TPA/LA flavors on hand can be used as additives with some.

Thanks folks.

I think you have a really good selection to start out with. Any one of them will be good on there own but you have some real good combination flavors as well. I use 7% for tobaccos and added flavors I use 2 - 3%. There are some real good recipe recommendations in this thread as well. I think your going to like what you are getting. And with hangsen you don't have the steeping hastles as you do with the other flavors and they steep in a much shorter amount of time. In the UC 2 - 3 hours should do it for the tobaccos and the fruits really don't need to steep. Also if you like tobaccos add RY4, RY1 and arabic to your list. Also watch out for the toffee to me and others it was very buttery. I've herd the caramel toffee is a better choice.

If you like T5 and highway you are going to love the arabic with the AP. I think it's my favorite of all the 555's. I mix my arabic at 7% with AP at 2%.

Also found the RY1 at 7% and hangsen vanilla at 2% and EM at 2% out of this world. My second favorite vape.

The Arabic + AP was a bit funky on day one. When will I learn? A couple days later the flavors have blended, mellowed just a bit and it's great. I like a stronger flavor and this one is a keeper for me. Thanks Danny.

TAB Blend is another excellent Hangsen tobacco. I've got 20 Hangsen tobaccos -- this one is one of my favorites as well as other people who have sampled much of my selection.

I mixed a batch of Tab at 10% in about 75% vg and man it was tasting good then overnight it turned way too spicy. It seems to burn my tongue. however I did up my nicotine from 24 to 26 so I would not chain vape and that helped, but I should have only changed one variable.

Is your TAB Blend very spicey or do you think it is the 10% flavor? Not sure if it was the increase in nicotine or the 10% flavor?
