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.

It's my all day every day favorite vape:)

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?

WoW 10% you should start at 5% if you like your tobacco on the milder side and 7% if you like it heaver. But 10% is a bit much even for me and I like strong tobacco taste.

I have been finding with a couple of other Hangsen flavors that I am getting, even after a 2 week steep, that they have been a bit mild at the 5%-7% range. I think it is the flavors I am getting. very inconsistent. I read someone suggested 10% on Hangsen tobacco flavors so I thought I would give it a try. Like I said I should have only changed one variable at a time. I use cisco 306 atty's and love them. Just breaking in an i06 at this time as well. I Really was diggin this flavor too so I will redo at 5%, and cut my nicotine back to 24mg for now.

I have got some tobacco eliguid on the way so that I can try and put together some better descriptions of their tobacco flavors if anyone else would like to get involved. For starters I will be getting 10mg bottles of 100%vg. I would be happy to pass the rest of the bottle on to someone else that would like to help me write up some better descriptions/reviews for us the consumers. This way we will know what the flavor was intended to taste like before mixing and help people pick out flavors.

Also I ordered some eliquid by mistake that is 100%pg rather than 100%vg. I cant do that high of pg. I will pass it on if anyone is interested or can break up a few bottles to different people as long as it doesnt get to crazy on shipping cost. anyone who is interested send me a pm. Dont be shy; I have 10-10mg bottles of RY4 and 10 of Caramel Machiato at 24mg nic. on its way any day, just made fresh from China. I may try a few hits of one bottle each but that is it.

I think you over saturated your mix at 10%. Over flavoring will actually decrease flavor. I recommend 3 - 7% for hangsen tobaccos.

After spending some time with the 8 Hangsen's flavors I got from Caterpillar I just wanted to do a quick review:

Bad to good:
Blueberry: Don't bother unless you want to confuse your taste buds. Doesn't taste like blueberry. I don't have any use for this.

Clove: Not as clove-y as I had hoped but good. Very useable to add some spice to another tobacco.

T5: Not feeling this one very much. Useable in mixing I think. It's too dry/sharp for me.

Desert Ship: Same as above but grew on me after awhile.

RY4: I've tried a few RY4's and use TFA RY4 double. I like this. More tobacco than vanilla/caramel/sweet than TFA. Planning on mixing this with TFA down the road.

Espresso: Very good. Tastes a lot like the real thing. Not an ADV for me but nice for a change.

TAB: Excellent. Went through this bottle in 2 days. Totally different that TFA and so smooth.

Black Label: Excellent. Spicy and full bodied. I got some of this and the Clove mixed to try later for some Djarum style.

Overall Blueberry was the only loser. Not bad 1 in 8 was a lemon. Definitely a lot of potential for me with these flavors. I hope the Juicy Peach and Raspberry is better than the Blueberry.

Not surprising... I think that would be my reaction comparing any RY4 to TFA Double. I like the Double as a mixer, but on its own I can't taste the tobacco. I agree that the HS RY4 is good though. Actually, I think I like the RY3 more when I'm in the mood for a RY4.

Espresso: Very good. Tastes a lot like the real thing. Not an ADV for me but nice for a change.

I really like that one in a very small amount added to tobacco (along with AP)... adds a nice dark roastiness to tobaccos.

You're not the only one that didn't like the Blueberry.

I love the Juicy Peach and the Raspberry.

I've pretty much used Danny's advice with HS tobaccos and have stuck with 7% max and it has worked great. TAB is great at 7%. It's a sweet smooth tobacco and I think I could go down to 5-6% because it does pack a punch in a igo type dripper. Can be rough on the throat but great in a tank.

Delivery devices are really important to consider with flavors. I usually run an 8 wrap 2.5ohm coil in my regulated mods @ 10 watts. Flavor is killer but if i drip for too long it does start to wear on my throat with tobaccos flavors. I usually vape 12mg nic and it's becoming too much in my igo so I'm thinking about making 8-10mg mixed for my drippers and 12mg for tanks.

I like magic mix @ 7% as a standalone quite a bit. It's got a nice leaf flavor with a hint of sweetness. I'm going to mix some with AP once I'm done with my current bottle. I have some samples of highway and arabic + AP that are about 10 days old. I'm looking forward to trying them this coming weekend.

I guess you cant go buy the names with these tobaccos. When I think of magic mix/ lucky strike, I would have thought of a strong harsh tobacco. Maybe because I associate that name with a non filtered analog.
Good to hear. I remade my TAB at 5% and it was good a couple hours stirring. I'll try again in a few days. I'll try stepping down to 3% on my next tobacco mix.

I've tried Tab, Indian, RY1, Magic Mix, and American Red. The only one that was on the stronger/harsher side was red. Even ry1 was a nice nutty and smooth tobacco from my experience. So far I'm quite enamored by HS tobaccos. They are second to none compared to all other non-NET tobaccos (imo).

The hardest part is letting them sit. When i first got my order of flaves I couldn't wait and tried ry1, tab, and magic mix within a few days. They all tasted off, weak and weird to some extent. After 2-3 weeks they completely changed into great standalone flavors.

Anyone know how to cut down on harshness when dripping HS tobaccos? I vape lower nic @ 12% so i don't think it's that. I don't do sub ohm or chase clouds either but my throat definitely gets a little fried at times. Is adding something like smooth a good idea? I've never used it before. I mix 50/50 pg/vg. I suppose I could go higher VG but i would prefer not too.

What flavor % do you use? Maybe try lowering that.

Yeah, what percentage did you mix at?
