Hi Bill,
It's been a while since I've had time to look at anything on the forum so if this has been asked already my apologizes. I've purchased all but one of your personal favorites/ top 20 of the big list. The only one I lack is joyetech's RY4. So I started looking for it and I noticed that you have It listed or ranked at #5 of your favorite Chinese version of RY4. The strange thing is you don't have it on the big list or on the break down list where you classify each vendor's version for having different characteristics. On your links page joyetech RY4 is paired up with the vendor Good Prophets since they sell Joyetech eliquid and you probably received your bottle from them. So I went back and looked for GP on both lists but all I've found is their version. Is there a reason that it didn't make your two lists? If so can you please share that with me (us)?

PRG,

You're batting .500---one for two.

Joyetech RY4 is on The Big List: GoodProphets 16mg VG Joyetech Liquid - post #3373

Yes, the link title should say Joyetech RY4 rather than Joyetech Liquid. For the next update of The Big List in two months, I've changed that and the link itself on my master file to take folks to the Joyetech page of GoodProphets web site, since their site design doesn't give each liquid its own product page. I've also added a parenthetical note that other vendors sell Joyetech RY4, but I don't happen to know who those vendors are, so I left the note non-specific. And last but not least, I moved the link from in the alphabetical list from the G to J to make it easier for people to find. The big Chinese companies' RY4s are sold by multiple vendors, which makes them sort of a pain for me to deal with on The List.

You're right, though, about Joyetech RY4's omission from the Category Groups page. That's just simple oversight on my part. I've corrected my master file for the next update. Joyetech RY4 goes in the group "Balanced/Blended," along with most other Classic and some Custom RY4s. (The majority of Custom RY4s are not particularly balanced, and few are unified in melding the flavors, but some do. I use the designations Classic and Custom as genres of RY4, not categories per se.)

I do the best I can to be accurate and thorough with the four pages of The Big List, but I discover mistakes at every update. I doubt that I'll ever root out every last single error. Thanks for the heads-up on that one.

Oh man, I hope you didn't take my last message negatively. I think your list has helped me out far more than anything else that I've come across in the vaping community. Thank you for your response. I'm going to buy a bottle of Joyetech RY4 now.

Did I take your post negatively? No, not at all, not even close. We're fine, and it's all good.

Bill ... I can't thank you enough for your work, research and posts on this. Been vaping about 3 years but I have become an RY-4 junkie
I switch between 4 or 5 different brands and have used no other flavor for the past several months. and Mr. E's my go to and all day, ...and it's all due to you.
You saved me a lot of time money and unused bottles of liquid
Thanks again

Hi Bill,
I read your review about Quick Nic's version of RY4 "our why quatro" and it sounds awesome. So I went to QN's page to place my order and I found out that they have several RY4 or our why quatro to choose from. Can you tell me which one they sent you for your review? Thank you for all of your help.

PRG,

QuickNic sells three versions of RY4, but only one ouR whY qu4tro. The other two---RY4 and RY4 Squared---are made with synthetic tobacco flavoring. Only ouR whY qu4tro is NET-based, meaning that it's made using natural tobacco extract (two different extracts, actually---one made from fire-cured tobacco, presumably Kentucky Burley, and another from an unspecified type of tobacco, probably a pipe blend, that's cased or topped with vanilla; caramel flavoring is then added to make the final mix, at least that's what the product page states).

Here a link to the product page: QuickNicJuice ouR whY qu4tro

By the way, QuickNic ouR whY qu4tro and QuickNic RY4 have both been reviewed and are on The Big RY4 List. I haven't had QuickNic RY4 Squared, so it's not on the list.

And just for the record, QuickNic did send me a 5ml bottle of their RY4 free, for review, but I bought ouR whY qu4tro (twice), as I did the majority of the RY4s I've reviewed. Over the three years of this thread, I've been sent about 25 RY4s free from vendors and received another 25 or so from thread participants, but I paid for the other 110 myself.

Thank you as always for your response. I haven't read your review for their RY4 yet but I'll check it out in a minute. Right now I have my collection in three large plastic container but I want to do something different with it. I was thinking about getting something like a display case or one large container. My wife thinks I'm crazy but i think it would help me organize things a bit. Do you have your collection set up in any particular? I sure hope you say that you have some kind of set up because I'd hate to think my wife's on to something about me. LOL. Thanks again Bill.

Do you have your collection set up in any particular [manner]?

Here's my desk, with all the PVs that I keep loaded and ready (I have another set exactly like this on my bedside table upstairs):

Here are two pics of my vaping workstation, with most of my storage cabinets:

That's really funny, we both have the same kind of white plastic cubbyhole deals. Granted I don't have nearly as many as you do nor do I have even close to all of the hardware you do. I have 3 of the 3 shelve white plastic deals like the ones you have in the second picture that the smaller containers are sitting on. I know we are way off the beaten RY4 review path so thank you for taking the time to share your pictures. I've got to figure something out pretty soon because I have kids and the last thing I want is them finding my stash and vaping it up. HaHa.
I read both of your reviews of QN RY4 and our why quarto and they both sound amazing. Being more of a synthetic tobacco kind of guy my first thought was to buy the RY4 and call it a day. BUT something in the "gotta have it" part of my brain said that better order the quarto too or you're going to be kicking yourself later. Ever since I bought the bottles of GJ4 that were terrible I worry about buying any more NETS. Do you have any aged Our Why Quatro and if so how does it age?

Funny you should ask. I just ordered a 30ml bottle of ouR whY yesterday. QnJ ouR whY qu4tro is a notorious reverse steeper. My existing 15ml bottle is down to about 4ml left and is a year and a half old. That was my second bottle. When it was fresh, the juice in that bottle was the most amazing RY4 I've ever vaped, bar none. Fantastic Custom RY4. By the time it was six months old, the magic was gone. Oh, it was still really good, but all the sparkle that made it brilliant had vanished. After a year, it was on a par with MOV Full Virginia Flake RY4.

So, if you like it, vape your ouR whY qu4tro as fast as you can.

Hi everyone,
This morning I was thinking about what my next Eliquid purchase is going to be so I started looking at Bill's reviews. While doing that I thought to myself how cool it would be if there was a section in this thread that is just back to back reviews. (If that's possible to do can someone please let me know)Now don't get me wrong, the way this thread is set up currently is awesome but for a person that isn't looking for a particular vendor/company it can become very time consuming to go back and forth from the link page to the actual review. I know exactly what you're thinking right now and yes it is easy just to say "hey why don't you do this" from the side lines. So let me just say that I can't amagine all of time Bill spent putting this all together and even more I can't imagine how long it would take to make a section that is straight reviews. One of the main reasons I thought about back to back reviews is because I'm sitting here drinking my coffee becoming more and more frustrated because I'm trying to get the links to take me to the actual review and for some reason I'm sent to the last page of the thread, EVERY SINGLE TIME not the review in question. Does this or is this happening to anyone else? If so please let me know if you were able to do something to make it work.
