If you don't mind waiting a couple weeks try it at 3% a lot easier to bump it up and replicate your flavor I have found out! It depends on your liking also so you will have to find your own % at your routines and taste, but That is where I would start doing it the other way 1st.

If anyone has ever figured out how those Hangsen caps come apart let me know............... :confused:

I've purchased nic juice base from MyFreedomSmokes several times. Crystal clear purity I order at 50/50 - 24mg. Excellent packaging, fast shipping, and very responsive via email. Placing another 500ml order to take advantage of that Black Friday Sale as well. Free shipping & 17% OFF with code BLACKFRIDAY. Very generous.

Never ordered from nude nic but herd good things about them. I just finished a bottle of nic from myfreedom and it is excellent.

Thanks, i just placed an order with MyFreedomSmokes.

This one was a DIY flavor purchased from RTS mixed at 7% flavor. I also tried 10%, at first because flavor was very light, mellow, and clear. I should have known better by now, and 5% would have been good. Mixed at 75%vg- 5% Distilled Water - 20% pg. I dripped in a Cisco 306 2.0 ohm atty.

It is my opinion after tasting this one that it is a combination of “RY5/Golden” and “RY6/Silver”. The first few hits with this one are nice and delicate with just a hint of sweetness of honey or hay/straw. Then BAM, the tongue is burning hot and chili peppers kick in. Some of you may like this but it is not for me. You are left with an after taste of a slighter less ash taste than the plain RY6 mixed with capsaicin and a hint of a floral/honey sweetness. Most likely the other taste are subdued because your taste buds are burning for a little while after. As a matter of fact I washed my DCA out good and changed the atty to write the final review of “Golden VI”, which is “Golden Virginia”, and my taste buds where still burning! I could not get a good flavor profile even though I had tried it before and pretty much knew what I was going to write but held off.

Keep in mind these are my bias opinion on my taste preferences. I like hot wings, or spicy Sesame chicken but I don’t like to vape it. That doesn’t mean you will not. I am trying to keep these neutral but your own flavor preferences do slip through.

I am doing this project because there are a lot of tobacco flavors and Hangsen’s descriptions are lacking in my opinion. They are also more expensive then some of the other flavors out there.

I am doing this for all of us, "as the consumer”, mainly because of post #13 on the 2nd page of this thread and a few others later on;

……………….. At $6 for 10ml I have a hard time picking some out to try. If someone can provide that kind of information or tell me where I can find it I would be very grateful.

At the time I read this I was feeling the same way and decided to try and do something about it. Not because I have lots of money to through around, I am actually on a fixed income. I have the time, good smell and taste. I know others have given flavor profiles in the past and the more input the better. Someone else may pick up flavors differently. Also I know if I had these reviews there were flavors that I would have not bought, and Visa Versa!

I am done with my rant, but my tongue is still burning:p
Enjoy, Dan

cessnapix, Thank you for such great reviews! I've picked up a few flavors following member reviews on this very thread. Like others faced with a $6 a bottle menu, much of my own apprehension was due to very poor product descriptions regarding Hangsen flavors. The Hangsen site itself doesn't say much in describing FLAVORS which might matter to some of us. Some taste buds seek very specific details in vape juice. I never understood the lacking product description or "Engrish" of so many foreign websites. Even leaders in their industry do a horrible job at enticing me with the right description. Although taste may be subjective, they would do very well to hire cessnapix to provide a body of descriptive terms!

I was sick with the cookie cutter description:

"Hangsen e-liquid is used for e-cigarettes and is a premium liquid produced through a tobacco extraction technique as opposed to synthetically created nicotine which originates in a lab. Hangsen e-liquid is rigorously tested for safety and quality. Because Hangsen e-liquid uses a tobacco extraction technique, Hangsen e-liquid is able to provide a consistent, high-quality and robustly flavored e-liquid that meets the demands of even the most discriminating vaping customers. "

Oh! that sounds yummy! Put two in my cart.

All of that information followed with no description of flavor! The only determining factor with most of these flavors were the customer reviews which can be subjective as well. And for those with the above description and no reviews, well, they haven't made my shopping cart unless a member here identified it as a flavor I like.

I know you appreciate it; I would like to get more people involved some how? I understand it is hard for some people to describe flavors also. Like; describe the color blue to a blind person. I was originally thinking about having a few people taste the same flavor and see if we come up with the same profiles, but not sure if that makes any sense. It is more of my own insecurity of my taste actually.

Has anyone tried any of these 3; "USA mix", the "RED usa mix", and the "USA tobacco". Are they much different, and do they have a smoky after taste to them?

Ok I Did something and I have a great juice here with a good throat hit at a very low nic level... Not sure what to make of it. Juices were well steeped @ 12mg.. I had maybe a half ml of 5% desert ship , a tiny bit maybe 10 drops of churchill @9% which I added about a ml and a half of vg. Filled my oddy. ~2ml capacity. And this I really great!! I mean flavor and even TH seem more pronounced.. I cut it quite a bit with just vg. I don't know how I'm getting more th with much less nic...?? Does this mean I should mix at 3% or lower and steep/ bathe it?

I was really surprised is it the blend or the lower percentage. I wish I had accurately measured so I could replicate!

USA mix and red are different, I liked the red at first but now I don't. Maybe it tastes too much like a cigarette! USA mix leans more toward a slight nutty or ry flavor.

Probably a little bit of both. Mix the ds at 3% and try it. I usually mix ds at 3.5% and steep it for months.

It's really wierd the juices were cut by a third and the nic level is only about 4 or 5 mg instead of 12. I don't know what happened, it doesn't make sense I'm getting more th on the exhale and it seems more satisfying. Maybe something happened to my atty when I refilled it but that seems highly unlikely.
Could be the nic as well. What nic do you use ?

Same nic, ecx 36 mg vg base cut to 12 in the 100%vg mix -flavoring. I have been vaping from these batches for a few weeks. Basically 12 mg mix cut by 1/3 with straight vg. I will have to experiment and try it again on next fill to see if I get consistent results. I would have thought the th would have been greatly diminished.

Flavoring can add to the TH as well. It is baffling tho.

Yeah I'm thinking there may be something to this 3% or less y'all have always been talking about. More mutes the flavoring. Possibly th too? I've found that I can do 3-4 hot water bath cycles and it steeps it up nice. (When I first started mixing hs I was trying it right away and kept addin flavor .. Mistake.)

Yeah man. The tobacco extract at higher levels just masks the other compounds. Hangsen tobaccos are tricky to work with.

Yea it took me a while to figure this out on my own being stubborn. I think too many people mix a 5ml batch at a high flavor % for instant use. When it steeps for longer at a lower % more tones start coming out. I noticed that with the Indian and Golden VI. It was very mellow then at a lower percentage it had more throat hit to it.

Indian and Golden VI are the most I have screwed around with so far and it caused me to lower some others. 5% seems to be right for me but I have a few steeping at 3% even one at 4% and waiting.

Sounds like the mix was over flavored. This is very common expecially with tobaccos..

Ok, here is my review; “A classic flavor that brings you old sweet memories.” ;-) Sorry Hangsen I couldn’t resist!

This one was a DIY flavor purchased from RTS mixed at 4% flavor. Mixed at 75%vg- 5% Distilled Water - 20% pg/flavoring. I dripped in a Cisco 306 2.0 ohm atty. Personally between the LR1.5, LR1.8, LR2.0 SR2.5 ohm I find the LR2.0 to give the best flavor. I have not tried the SR3.0 or SR3.5. Sorry a little off topic.

Unlike other Golden Virginian flavors, I have tried a few brands. This one is a very complex and natural flavor. It has tones of sweetened hay and straw with a hint of honey. It has and a floral taste that reminds me of chewing on the inside of a purple clover flower when I was a kid. For those of you who have tasted the sweet tender part of a flowered clover you know what I mean. No I didn’t grow up in the city:) It has hints of a smoke cured tobacco with a slight after taste of liquorice. Now I normally don’t like a liquorice flavor however this works very nicely. The honey could be the taste of the sweetness of the hay/straw and floral flavors? I find myself vaping this one for a couple days at a time to make a change. This could be an all day vape. Recommend 3%-5% flavor with 1-2 weeks steep time.

I will say that the liquorice and other flavors where muted until I dropped this to 4%. I actually dropped it to 3% but was not patient enough and bumped it up another 1% but it still needed its own time to steep. So 3% would have been fine!

FYI, I have left some of these flavors mixing on a magnetic stirrer for 3 days straight and it makes no difference in steep time. I can’t stress enough for all of these complex flavors to come through mix at a 3%-5% and wait! Don’t get inpatient and bump it up until you give it at least a week of steep. A little time with the cap off as well, I just leave the top open in the flask when stirring.
Again sorry off topic.
Enjoy,
Dan
