So I tried four different tobacco flavors. The verdict is they are all winners.

Hangsen = the easy way to DIY tobacco. Almost feels like cheating.

Tab Blended, tastes just like DK-TAB, any slight difference is no greater than the variation in buying premixed Dekang from various places at various times.

RY1 is a subtle but very pleasant flavor. Hard to relate it to anything. Somewhat like USA Mix, but a little less acidic, with a slight peanut flavor, the tinniest "grassy note", and totally absent of that ashy flavor sometimes present in USA mixes (especially the red variants.)

Indian, definitely reminds me of 555, but more distinct and better.

And saving the best for last, PIPE FLAVOR! I think Jimi D. may be right, there seems to be a hint of vanilla and anise. Which are both flavors I generally dislike, but I'm so glad I took the chance on it. I kind of detect some coumarin in it, maybe. But whatever is in it it's great.
The Pipe is so good. I'm vaping it right now sub ohm, and it's hard to put down. I'm glad the Hangsen's worked out for you :)

Gonna add it to my list sounds good

RTS,VZ,ECX. Anyone tried all three? Have you found and differences? RTS has flavorings in 120ml size. Is it worth the price?

There have been posts questioning VZ's authenticty when it comes to hangsen but RTS and ECX get high marks.

I've purchased two 120ml bottles from RTS Vapes. Both came in a clear glass bottle. If it's a flavor you will often use it is well worth the price of admission. One other side note. I have both RTS Vapes TFA and ECX signature graham cracker. The RTS TFA is much more concentrated. I was told the ECX signature was TFA. My conclusion is it is either a different brand or the signature has been deluted.

Thanks. I was wanting information on the Hangsen Tobacco flavorings but this information is useful.

Personally I just mixed all the flavors at 5% with 70/30 PG/VG. All the ones I tried were good at that level, but I think I am going to bump a few of them up to 7%, RY1 in particular. I'm surprised you got an ashtray in the pipe, I don't get that at all. The only one I detect anything ashy at all is in the Indian, and barely even there.

Where did you purchase the flavor from?

What recipe are you using for Hangsen pipe ? I mixed a simple test batch and all I tasted was ashtray.

I posted my pipe tobacco recipe here. It's post #874. It sounds over the top but I sure do like it. I think i'm on my 4th 15ml bottle. I have to ask where did you get yours. Ashtray doesn't play into my taste at all.

Hangsen USA red is ashy. A good quality if your looking for a USA cigarette flavor.

Let us know how the 7% works out on the RY1. I agree that the flavor is a bit light with that one, but I've yet to go as high as 7.

I go by smell if you want the true full flavor... By that I mean it should taste like it Smells. For newbs i think more needs to be said for steeping these.. For me they are starting to come well rounded starting at 3 weeks. The red seemed quickest, desert ship was not good at all right away but is now pretty good. Highway is now becoming true and nuttiness is peaking through where I had none before. These are
All at 6-9% so far. Churchill isn't popping for me yet, I've had about 4 30ml premade bottles of this before so that's what I'm
Shooting for.

Would hangsen veterans have a minimum steep time to test a flavor.
