The Hangsen Thread

[Detroit Doug]

Love reading the reviews of HS flavors & mixes that I haven't had a chance to try yet. Thanks @JeremyR.

This is a little off topic, but my hat is off to you, for the incredible research & info on rayon. I made the switch to rayon, and I'm loving it. Definitely improved my vaping experience.

Back on topic, pardon the swerve. BCV order should be arriving next day or so. Doing a little shelf stocking.

HS Desert Ship, Gold & Silver, Highway, Magic Mix, & Turkish on the way.

Also have HS Australian Chocolate & some FLV Sweet Coconut in the order. I want to try adding a touch of chocolate and/or coconut to some HS tobaccos. I haven't gone down that path yet. Will see how it goes.

Got out the ol' nautilus Mini, cleaned it up, put in a fresh coil, and tootie puffin' some Highway at 10 watts.

Damn, this tastes good.

Your welcome Doug! Thanks!

Des ship, hwy, and g&s are three completely different flavor profiles, so good choices. I would also say they are in my top 5 or 6 hs flavors. But I vape Arabic 99.99% of the time. Nothing else really Compares with the type of th.

As you digress the 50 or so tobacco flavors with HS, you'll find that many are similar in ways but slightly different. I want to say there's like 5 - 6 categories who's flavors aren't contrived from another. Or hangsen has 3-4 main tobacco extractions that flavors are built on. They may use one or a combination, then add the other flavors to make it complete.

OK today I'm vaping the hangsen RY4 pre-made, factory. RY4 review.

At least the bottle says ry4. Definitely not what I expected in many ways. But, actually I've been vaping it since yesterday. Which says A whole Lot!! I've vape this longer than any other new flavor so far.

OK so the wierd. The juice is damn near clear. It looks no darker than a slightly oxidized nic! Now I was expecting Carmel and all kinds of sugar and stuff and a dark brown juice, but it's not. It's clearer than the ry3 and Arabic.

Now I have experience with hs ry3 and I'll tell you, the ry3 at 3.3% is stronger than ry4. I find ry4 to be a toned down version of ry3. Or ry3 has more of the base tobacco extract. Ry3 gets overpowering to me but this ry4 is toned down with a slight bit of sweetness, no where near what I expected. It darkens the wicks more Than expected from its initial color. Indicating the sugars I believe. Ry3 is stronger in the base note than ry4 and vapes out stronger. I can vape ry4 longer because the flavor isn't as overpowering. ..

So this is an adv. Flavor. I can vape this no problem. It's smooth not much sweetness taste is agreeable and doesn't leave a strong aftertaste in my opinion, a good thing. Th isn't strong but smooth.

The amount of time I vape a flavor before retreating back to Arabic, tells me exactly how good it is. This has made it the longest so far for me. It's a thumbs up!

Oh so a list of what I have to try in factory pre-made.

Ry4
Mild blend
Magic mix
USA mix
DE tobacco.
SE tobacco
CH tobacco
PE tobacco

Also hs premades of concentrates I have

Elder capt.
G&S
Desert ship
Congress

I can tell you, none of those have more than 3.3% flavor concentrate from the factory so far. I got a couple more to try still.

Anyone tried Hangsen Aroma Golden VI Tobacco?
How many % Do you mix it and how long steep time?
How does it taste, notes etc?

I haven't tried Golden VI specifically, but working with about 12 HS tobacco flavors over here, my general rule of thumb is start at %3, make small batches and go up from there.

Hangsen, to me, ages well within 24 hours, but it never hurts to try it right away. Just wait a day before adjusting percentages.

When I first got Golden VI, I did a solo test at 8%.
The comment in my notes, say ... YUMMY
I don't care for a strong grassy tasting tobacco, so to me, it was good , and a perfect flavor to add other flavors to.
If your after a strong cig-like taste, this one won't fill the bill.
Also, I mix well ahead of my vaping, so everything is at least a month old.
Don't have any "fresh mix" opinions.
Too me, all tobaccos need a few weeks to mature ... fruits, next day, but not tobaccos.
BTY .. it's hard for me to find a bad tobacco flavor by HS

 

[LoveVanilla]

Yeah, +2 on the Golden VI; it's good. I mixed at 7% (but always mix HS strong). Don't think I liked initially as I set it aside. A couple months later and the bottle was gone in under a week.

Slots, so what are some of those grassier tobacco flavors you don't care for? That's more my thing. Grassy and Smokey tobaccos...

 

[Alter]

I like the grassy tobac flavors and I get that from these concentrates
HS Desert Ship
HS Highway
HS No5
RTS Tobacco absolute
IMW Garuda
INW Virginia TA- very sweet
HS Virginia- very weak but still a bit grassy
Acetyl Pyrazine at @ 1-2% IMO enhances the grassiness.

Wonder what's going on in EU.

HANGSEN e-liquids and DIY products for vapers - Platforma HSS

IMPORTANT NOTE: From 1st January 2016 the Hangsen company has ceased to deliver their aromas and tobacco essences for blending DIY eliquids to the European market. Therefore, we encourage all customers blending own DIY eliquids based on Hangsen's aromas and essences for placing orders. Those products are only available while stocks last and afterwards, become permanently unavailable in Europe. No time to waste, order now!

Edit: Guess it's only for flavors, not the pre mixed e liquids.

VZ 555 SC is one I don't like ... to me it has too strong of a"cigarish" taste.
I have other that lean towards a mild cigarish taste, but I enjoy them
Just 1 drop in 5ml, and I end up dumping it after a few vapes.
I actually tried it "fresh, and the very first vape wasn't bad, but it just got stronger and stronger.
I usually steep all my tobaccos at least 4 weeks, to allow them to mature, so I thought maybe fresh it wouldn't be so strong ... nope, just as bad.

I also don't care for TFA DK Tobacco, it's super strong, to the point it leaves a "taste" in you mouth for a long time after a vape.
TFA M-Type, and Tobacco Absolute turn me off to.
They all have a strong tobacco taste, and I haven't found a way to dilute them enough that I can enjoy them, without losing flavor ... it's like it's all or nothing, even mixed in a recipe.
TFA Cowboy is another one I have to treat with kid gloves, or it sucks.
I'm not saying you would like any of them either .. but if you like the opposite side than I do, you may

I sure hope that doesn't effect or pertain to the distributors here.
I checked, and they are out of everything I like.
Thanks for the "heads-up"

Now those that I left on your list, I have and love.
HS has the best of the best when it comes to tobacco's.
Other company's I only like 2-3 of the selections in tobacco, but I like most all of HS.
I also think they make the best of all the Desert Ship flavors out there, with FA running second place ... ohh, and VZ is good too.
So maybe it's not the "grassy" part of the flavor that my taste bud reject. ??

I LOVE AP, but the only taste I get is "nutty".
It's great in HS Highway, which has a little nutty taste to start with.
I also use it in a lot of my bakery type recipes because it adds that extra nutty taste.
BTY, if you ever over-do the AP, you will enjoy the taste of "corn chips"
Hooked of Frito's ??

 

[JeremyR]

Yeah this is very odd... They just opened that factory in Poland last year. Wonder if it's EU regulatory related.

If there is ever a threat to US availability, I better get a lifetime supply of Arabic.

Checking their site they have a new line of liquids. King sounds good, if it goes to concentrate.

 

[Detroit Doug]

I went to the Hangsen site too, looking for some sort of news, but didn't see anything.

BCV seems to be out of stock on a lot of the flavors I like. Probably unrelated.




Might be the Hangsen Zombie Apocalypse though.

The way it's written, it kind of sounds like it's just in the EU.
Thing is ... if that's more than half their market, they may just drop making DIY flavors period.
I sure hope not .. they are one of the original, and oldest company's around.

It may work, and it may not, but I buy an extra backup bottle of all my favorites and store them in the freezer.
Flavors don't fade in frozen foods in the supermarket, so they should (fingers crossed) be OK, unopened, and in PG only.
The PG will keep forever, so they should be OK

That's about my thoughts as well. When I first started vaping I had a dk tab blend from LF (if you've been around long enough to know what that stands for )

I thought is was so great, only had one bottle at the time. Year two later got some tfa dktab and man no way. I've got 30ml concentrate and I haven't even vaped 30ml of it.. It's a flavor that doesn't go away, hangs around, atty must be thoroughly washed if you hope to remove the taste. The juice blend was dk with a slight touch of M-type. I never really got the M-type low enough, that stuff is strong, a wierd kinda taste to me.

Worst I've had is TFA Kona blend.. Stuff is repugnant with a single drop. I tried one recipie, Never touched again... had to toss the whole bottle to get rid of the smell. lol

I've tried enough TFA and VZ SCs to 100% agree with you. The VZs taste like "tobacco" n' chemicals, TFA has that famous "litter box" taste to them. I've had M type, cowboy, 'tobacco' and something else, it's been a while. Besides the litter taste to them, there's also some weird sweet taste to some of them that reminds me of old pineapple Lifesavers. Weird, right?

 

[Mattdogg]

LF= Liberty Flights, Jeremy?

LMAO, now there's a flavor review!
