Finger grips aside, is the top button actually awkard in operation for you?
I don't have huge hands, I don't have small hands. I wear large latex gloves at work which is pretty much standard for the men.
in the pic is a 5ml bottle for size comparison. Its about 2 of those high, one 5ml bottle width, one cap depth. I vape it like I'm doing hammer curls, or better yet like I'm sucking my thumb-straight back. Its not the most comfortable I just think its a little exaggerated. I got it mainly for price....but it fits good in my T-shirt pocket lol2012-08-16_19-55-13_170-1.jpg

Yes I bite my nails.....I am hideous

So since Healthcabin have discontinued their RY4 in 115ml bottles, I moved onto mixing various DK, HC, Hangsen and concentrates to make various RY4 blends. A splash of caramel, vanilla or flue cured tobacco here or there makes up any shortfalls.

I am now working through the straight concentrates. Minimum 14 days steeping.

The six concentrates that I am focusing on first are:

- Healthcabin discontinued RY4 concentrate
- Healthcabin new/improved RY4 concentrate
- TPA RY4 Type
- TPA RY4 Double
- TPA RY4 Asian
- Hangsen RY4 concentrate

Here is the progress of the TPAs after 10 days steeping.

1ml - 100mg 100% VG
1ml - TPA flavour
4ml - 100% PG
4ml - 100% VG

Cop, your post just reminded me that I forgot to include RY4 in my HealthCabin order that I just placed :( I got the 555 which I quite love, and the intriguingly named "milk egg" which I couldn't resist for $1.50, plus my usual stash of cartomizers and unflavoured nic. But the RY4 will have to wait for my next haul.

Mmmm, gotta hear how milk egg is! I need to revisit my Health Cabin RY4 and TAB and 555 stash.

Well, I wasn't going to do a review on Apollo's RY4 since Hangdude and Billherbst pretty much nailed it with their excellent reviews. But since things are kind of slow on the RY4 front, here goes my take.

Received my 10ml bottle of 18mg a couple of weeks ago and at first vape, was not all that impressed. Not bad, but not good enough to make it into my daily rotation. As Hangdude said, it leans toward the Chinese flavor profile (Bill calls it "Classic") and I prefer the American (or Custom) RY4's. After steeping a week, I now enjoy vaping it enough to have it in my rotation. It is well balanced - tobacco, vanilla and caramel all blend together as one. The oriental tilt of the flavor is muted, and this reminds me of a "hybrid" Dekang, for lack of a better word. I do like it and I find myself now vaping it more than Quic Nic's RY4. My favorite RY4 is still BWB's (no longer produced) followed by my own DIY of BWB's Hunter's Blend/Vanilla Bean/Dulce de Leche. Also in my daily RY4 rotation are MOV's CountRY4 and Quic Nic.

I have heard some good things about Ahlusion's juices and I suppose I will try their RY4 once it is available. Unless another reader of this thread comes out with a review that indicates a spectacular RY4 beforehand, I do not plan on purchasing any more RY4's in the near future.

Kinda slow in the RY4 front, dont tell me we have tried ever RY4 in the world :vapor:....any one got any hot leads...:laugh: ...I just ordered 120ml of MOV RY4 dont make me bore you guys with another review of it :D

Unlike the Fanboy/girl Love-Fest twitter-like threads that get 500 one-line posts each day, the Big RY4 thread has wave cycles---more posts for awhile, then a lull with fewer posts. Not that either style thread is right or superior, just different animals in the ECF kingdom.

Whenever the thread sinks onto the second page of the Reviews Forum, I know we're in a lull. LOL. Then someone bumps us back up to the top of the first page, and the tide starts to come in again with more reviews and info sharing. I guess that means that our thread uses the Rhythm Method. LOL.

Bill will be getting his "secret" package in the mail soon! I am on my way to the PO to mail it out now! I sure hope he likes it as much as I did! A definite all day vape for me! :)

Thanks, Snus. I'll be stalking the mailman in a couple days (since we're a continent apart, bi-coastally).

lol.... of course it is! But, the secret is safe with me.... If Bill wants to give it up, that is fine with me.... It was mailed out today, but has to go all the way to the left coast! If you do get to the mailman first, please leave a little for Bill to try, too, OK? :)

OK I know someone here (hangdude?) is a huge fan of Mountain Oak CountRY4. I just tasted this again along with its kissing cousin MOV Gold, in an effort to figure out what that savoury, spicy, funky undertone that makes this brand's tobaccos unique.

I'm just going to throw this out there: I think it's cumin.

What do you all think?
