I don't taste any nuttiness in BWB RY4, but I sure do get that cedary-piney thing. It's a characteristic undertone of the original natural extract tobacco base that Don uses for many of his tobacco blends. Some people like it. I don't. That undertone is the main reason I fell out of love with BWB RY4. To me, cedar-pine scent is fine for storage trunks and kitchen cleaners, but not as a flavor in nicquids.

Wow. Been quite a while since I've read an entire paragraph that could've come from my lips. Couldn't agree more with everything you said. :) If that piney thing doesn't go away with steeping, I'll end up having to trade the bottle off in the classifieds for something on my want list.

I heartily agree with Passerbyeus about VB OuR-Y4. Simple. Direct. Classic. A totally delicious RY4 to my current palate. OuR-Y4 is currently #3 on my personal Top 10 RY4 list.

I'll have to give that one a try, then. My only hesitation, though, is that so far the PV4 isn't cutting it flavorwise, and that's the one everyone said I should try. I loved the "lost" RY4 (and one day someone's gonna tell me that damned story, lol), and after an entire year am still looking for something smooth, almost creamy, that's non-nutty, non-piney tobacco, strong caramel, and a subtle vanilla on the exhale. The thing about the lost recipe that I liked was how the tobacco wasn't obvious on its own, but somehow blended with the caramel and vanilla in a unique way, creating an entirely new flavor. It's almost like a bass guitar; you wouldn't even recognize the tobacco unless it wasn't present, or was "out of tune" somehow (and using nutty or piney flavored tobacco certainly counts --woof).

I tend to stay away from "classic" ry4s I prefer earthy, smokey,more pronounced caramel ry4s.....does that mean technically I don't like ry4 lol

I'd say you just described a "classic" RY4, albeit a strong one, almost a dessert vape with a cigar-like tobacco. That actually sounds really good, as long as they keep the forest out of it. When animals start trying to drag my RY4 bottles up a tree, I know something's not right... :)

Lets play a game :D.... I like this thread Bill has created a monster for sure...so I have I bottle of 30ml BWB RY4 6mg left I just do not want it and will let it go for what I paid for it which was $22.00 shipped in the US, I would rather have fun with it on the RY4 thread than the classifieds just seems right :p I wrote a number down and if you want it for that price pm me a number 1-100 and the person that hits it or nearest gets it. I will let this go until 8pm est today or who hits the number first.

142!

Anywho, I tried KBV's RY4 and didn't like it. However, it's been so long that I haven't the foggiest idea why I didn't care for it, not to mention I had no idea it needed steeping back then (took a year, but I finally caught on --I'm quick that way). ;) Kinda makes me wonder how many juices I've gotten rid of that, had I not given 'em away so quickly, would've been good with steeping. Oops.

Just bought another 220ml of Healthcabin House brand RY4 for $29 on sale.
I love this stuff but you are right that it is VERY well blended rather than the different individual flavours coming through.
I think the sweetness you taste is almost like burnt sugar.

I would be interested in billherbst's thought on VapeKings 3x RY4 style juices. They are sold as 0mg double flavours that you cut down with your preferred mg level of unflavoured nic.

VK4:
Vape King's version of the popular RY4 Tobacco blend. A rich tobacco with hints of Caramel and Vanilla.

VK5:
A true rendition of the most popular juice on the planet, RY4. You asked for it and we have delivered, a true to form RY4. Classic blend of extracted tobacco, caramel, vanilla and our own special secret addition.

VK Supreme:
A Complex tobacco blend with subtle sweet nuances. Lovers of RY4 tobacco vapes will appreciate this Supreme belnd of tobaccos.

<---cop,

I haven't had any of the VapeKings RY4s.

Ah, so many RY4s, so little money. (Actually, the problem isn't even so little money---it's that I have a modest amount of money, but have spent like a drunken sailor on vaping stuff...)

ogredog,

Yes, to me what we've come to call Classic RY4 is definitely brighter and sharper, with more high-end bite and less low-end rumble. I've often used the word "effervescent," which is technically incorrect, of course (since RY4 isn't carbonated---are there any carbonated nicquids? I don't think so...), but poetically in the ballpark. I would hope that Classic RY4 doesn't taste tinny to most people, but I get that you were speaking for your own palate. (No wonder you prefer Custom RY4s.)

So I finally burned through my stash of IKV's RY4 and come to find out that his site is down and it may be a while before he's back in business. Can anyone recommend an RY4 that is similar? Just to give you an idea of what I'm looking for, I liked NLV's old version of Renegade and Joogler's Blend isn't bad. The list of what I don't like is much longer, unfortunately. Can't stand BWB's RY4, NLV's new Renegade, and I loathe PV's PY4. Oddly enough, I really didn't like Raffalicious either. I gather that most would put it in the same category as IKV, but it came of as extremely bland to me.



So, what's the closest to IKV's RY4?


Hey Goodtimes, I sent you a PM.

Ok you guys can kill me for this....but if you like classic ry4 do you still use dekang?
I was thinking this today, why pay such high prices for similar juice? Is it the search for the best? Is it the need for a little variety?

I try ry4s with every new vendor I purchase from because by the time I order Im usually out and I generally like the flavor (but prefer customs as Bill calls them) and I do the same with red hots.... I know that's unrelated lol

Ok so i got a brand new tribecca bottle and cant stand it lol , the smell the taste is uber chemical :) i wonder Bill and other tribecca users how long you guys put these away?

My tiny sample bottle of Tribeca had to steep for eight months before the hospital disinfectant undertone finally dissipated. Now it's great, but the bottle has only about 1ml left.
