The pipe tobaccos and the Turkish juices are my favorite, but I am in a serious tobacco funk now and can't find anything premade that I like :/ Perhaps someone recommend a tobacco flavoring that is somewhat like Backwoods Brew Conundrum? It is a magnificent and unique juice that I ration strictly, but always keep in stock. I love the heavily flavored tobacco juices, but I just don't know what to choose from these flavorings...

Hello all,
I'm getting ready to mix up my first round of Hangsen tobacco flavors. I've got the USA mix and the Arabic. Will I need to add anything to either of those to smooth them out (ACV, Smooth, Bitter Wizard, Vape Wizard, etc.)?

I'm going to start at 6% for each unless y'all have a better recommendation.

FWIW, the USA mix is for my wife. When we quit smoking, we both vaped a mix called USA's Favorite from a local shop. So far, the Hangsen Marlboro (ordered from Fasttech) is the closest thing I've found to matching it, and my wife said it was good enough. Since the local shop seems to run out on a regular basis, and they often blame shipping / customs, I'm guessing they use Hangsen or Dekang concentrates for the majority of their liquids.

Thanks!

straigh up is good but my personal favorites are

arabic 7%
AP 2%

Red 7%
hangsen vanilla 2%

I just tried my mix of Hanson RY4 at 3% and imo it taste more like Halo Tribecca than TFA DRY4 + AP. The flavor was little light at 3% and of course it had a little Hangsen tanginess.

I also tried the 7%RY4 + 2%AP that Dannyv45 recommended. It was good but imo it had too much AP and not enough sweetness. I think the high AP drowned out the RY4.

I just mixed another batch of 4%RY4 + 0.5%EM + 0.5%AP. I'm starting low and will add more if needed. Will report back in a few weeks after it steeps.

I found that Arabic combo last night and entered it into my calc / recipe program for the first round of testing. I've picked up a couple of combos that sound pretty good; the Arabic recipe has already made it into my file, and the Red one is headed there as soon as I get home. Thanks!

Cave diver -

There is no need to add anything to these. They are pretty much ready to go.. I know it seems too simple but its true. Enjoy your extra time. I was doing 6% in 100vg but my recent batch went down to 5. I recommend a couple hot water baths and a number of shakes if you want to use it next day. Otherwise wait a week. At any rate they will improve with some steeping.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm mixing this evening; I'm expecting she'll try it by the end of the weekend. Hopefully it'll be something she likes...

If your looking for a tribeca clone you shouldn't be using AP at all. Or at least no more then .25 - .5.
Tribeca is halo's version of ry4 and most standard ry4's don't use AP. I think you mixed up my recipes.

I also make a halo prime 15 clone which is arabic and AP.

Thanks Danny. I didn't mean that your mix was a Tribeca clone, just wanted to say that i tried it in addition to my other RY4 mix...i should have been more clear. I'm not looking for an exact clone just something similar. RY4 by itself gets me very close except for the Hangsen tanginess. I'm thinking about mixing .25 -.50% TFA smooth to 4-5% RY4 to take some of the edge off.

Hey gang, I made a few 1 ml test batches to get a sense of what each flavor tastes like but I was not EXACT in my measurements. I mean I used .95 ml 50/50 and added .05 ml flavor for a 5% mix but I sure my measurements aren't spot on. I've seen some posts where people are mixing at 5.5-6%. Just how much difference does .5% make? Does wattage impact taste? If so, how?

From what I read about conundrum its a fruity blend. And you would be looking at red energy, hedy/7up, fruit mix, or others. Have you looked here? Hangsen e-liquid Fruit Flavors and More | ecigExpress

Other wise pipes/cigars and Turkish/ Arabic blends.

OK folks. My wife don't want to wait for the strawberry so I have to make another Hangsen order. Darn! :)

I like RY1 a lot. But I need something with more kick. TH is top priority for me. Suggestions?
Do you think adding a good Brandy Flavor would give your RY1 a little more kick?

Have you tried the Indian?
