Where have you guys purchased your T5 concentrate? Just noticed my preferred vendor doesn't carry it despite ordering my last 10 Hangsen flavors from their site.

And perhaps just my imagination, but was there discussion of T5 being like the Highway concentrate flavor? I currently have Highway in my vape rotation and love it. If T5 is nutty in flavor, I know I'll like it very much.

You must be referring to RTS...They don't stock it, so I dumped my cart there and went to T5 Tobacco Flavoring by Hangsen - ecigExpress

It was RTSVapes.com. Checked my purchase history and I have placed two orders with ecigexpress for a couple of items others didn't carry. With RTSVapes.com, of the eight or nine Hangsen flavors I've ordered from them, the T5 is the only one they don't stock. I have too many redeamable points at RTS to go elsewhere at the moment. The upside on RTS is the redeamable points and ten cents less per bottle. I'll email them and ask if they'll be carrying the T5 flavor before buying elsewhere.

T5 was suppose to be discontinued 2013 if I remember correctly! I "hypothesise" that highway is the strongest 555, followed by No.5.

These venders either have leftover stock or are naming it something different I suspect. You could confirm this on the hangsen website and when they have the chat help on line ask them.

Sorry cant get the link to work right!

later, :)

Just received a little order from ecigexpress...Tab Blended, T5 and Indian...and I was very excited until I opened the package and discovered over half of the T5 and Tab Blended had leaked out...ain't no big deal I reckon but I've noticed before on my ecigexpress orders that all the bottles were wet and sticky...and for some reason I can't even log into my account there to open a ticket :~(

That would be kind of a big deal for me. It's never happened with them though but I wouldn't be happy. They have a vendor forum here if you have a login problem. ecigexpress
I just tried to login and could, so for me the website is working fine. Good luck getting it worked out!

Its a problem they're aware of.. Let them know, they should replace them. Look in their subforum on ecf there is a thread on it. I was hoping they resolved the issue by now, some of my desert Ship leaked out last time. But it was only a small amount. I ordered From rts this time, my regulars ands some new flavors to try out. Arabic, smooth, and ry3... Wish I would have got ry2 but well see.

Could anyone describe the difference between peach flavor and juicy peach - both in terms of taste and color. I am thinking of mixing the fruit with a tobacco flavor and trying to avoid anything with food coloring inside. I have tried Lorann's peach and it has two different food colorings inside. Just wondering what's their philosophy; to make the juice look pretty?

Peach flavor not to good, taste artifical. Juicy peach very very good, taste like a natural peach. Both are clear.

Just tried Churchill and Gold & Silver which turned out way too mild for my taste. Took it from 5 to 7% over a week and find it akin to vaping pure nic base with no flavor added. I can see the vapor but no strong flavor as I like it and worse, no throat hit. Can't taste or smell anything reminiscent of tobacco. If I don't vape for an hour or two and take a hit of either of these, I do get a slight flavor but all downhill from there. I don't believe taking these to 10% would help as much as create a harsh flavor. So I'm done with those as well.

So the milder Hangsens, for my taste, include Indian, Gold & Silver, Tobacco, and Churchill.

I'm still using Hangsen Tobacco flavor as a base for my Max Blend by FA. Mixed HS Tobacco flavor at 7% - 1.5% AP - 1% Vape Wizard to find it too mild and added Max Blend which I didn't like as stand alone. Three or four drops of Max B in the mixed HS Tobacco 15 ml bottle created a flavor I enjoy. All the reviews I read on Max Blend raved about the amazing freshly opened pack of cigs flavor. What? Where? No such thing. Not even close! A bizzaro flavor like that is what it is but not analog like. Alone it has a strong sweet bakery flavor and smells like baby powder. Yea, I get a baby powder effect on exhale over and over again. Now combined with the Tobacco flavor it's pretty groovy .....

Keeping six out of eleven flavors in rotation. Not bad. Still loving and enjoying daily the stronger Arabic, Desert Ship, Deluxe, Latakia, TAB and occasionally Highway for a milder flavor with a discernible taste.

oddly enough, when I first got my HS tobaccos 3 or so months ago the flavors were on the weak side and mixed around 8%. now they are so strong I'm not sure how low to go. my last 3 mixes I used 4% with one additional flavor at 4%. the tobacco completely dominates the other flavor so think I will try 2.5% next try.

Kimchi how long did you steep, let em rest a month then give em a try.

I went to 9 with church because I didn't steep it long enough. Went away from it for a bit and now I'm back on it, I really like this flavor again. I'm mixed at 5% on the church and its flavorful. It funny how flavors change in time. Also how you start to not like a flavor anymore go away from it for a few weeks come back to it and you really like it again.

- John33 - are you saying they steeped for 3 months?

I know you like to vape right away, as does anyone.. But some flavors just don't allow it... The maxx blend really needs to steep a long time. I tried the FA cowboy it was absolutely horrible. I had 5 ml sitting for months and the color changed dramatically and the bad smell was gone.

How long do you normally you steep. Do you do any fast steeping methods? I'm eyeing an ultrasonic. But currently I'm doing multiple 4/5 hot water baths and shaking and it really speeds it up. Seems with that and a week the church is probably equal to a month of just sitting. It is maybe a mild flavor though.

I'm looking forward to Arabic coming in on Monday. I like a strong tobacco. When you say latika do you mean Turkish blend because that's on my wish list.

Jeremy, I no longer do hot water baths on these flavors as I could of sworn a third bath muted a couple of my strong tobaccos. Was weird but they went totally flat. I just let them sit in the closet with dated tags. I was going to get a ultrasonic when I was mixing DIY recipes with some 60 flavors from wizard and TFA. Those flavors can be brutal and need twelve frickin' years to adjust. Concentrates are pleasant to me within 24 hrs and since finding flavors I like 2 mos ago, have a dozen 30ml bottles in rotation. I replenish new with seeded mix halfway down any bottle.

I was disappointed by virtually no flavor on Churchill and Gold/Silver concentrates after 24 hrs. While tobaccos need to steep a long while to experience true flavor, they should have some form of flavor, even if harsh, unique to their makeup. Even with my current Hangsen favorites, I knew I loved the flavor same day mixed as there was a distinct and discriminable flavor to begin with. All of them improved greatly with time of course but the initial flavor was there and impressive.

With Churchill and Gold/Silver there was a tiny 'eh distant ultra light analog that felt like smoking nothing with visible smoke. All my other HS favorites taste great as usual. Tonight vaping month old Desert Ship and it's awesome. Perhaps these two will blossom with a month of steeping. It'll be the first time a Hangsen flavor starts with no flavor and evolves into something nice while others, possibly strong or harsh before steep, but with a beginning flavor, smooth out with age.

Good to know man, for sure. Then it seemed to help the church but maybe flatened the highway or me.. Looks like I Need more bottles and ultrasonic then.
