zogu,

Give me a day or two. I'll see what I can do. I've got only four bottom feeders: two Phidias Woodies (designed for an 18650, but I run them with the custom 5-volt light green NIMH batteries for more punch), a little Missy Wetbox 3.7V (much-scorned back in the day, but surprisingly good), and a MaximumVapors 5V-regulated Luicy Juicy, with another one of those on the way.

Thank you Bill, this description is enough.

.....If it works, great! I'll use it. If it doesn't work, I toss it out and start over.....

That's why I'm asking here ;) I know about modding forums and read them a lot. I'm using only my battery mods with mp2307 ic, but i never tried bottom feeders.
Thanks and sorry for OT.

nice....see there we go cats cats cats and more cats where is a ogredog when you need one....

Didn't you know? Cats are really behind all of this... They own us, train us, bribe us, and seduce us into caring for them and schmoozing up to them. And all the time they are really manipulating us to their own ends. See here, cats don't like smoking - they are very clean creatures, and smoke stinks up their fur. I mean - would you like to lick something that smells like an ashtray? (Yes, yes, I know, kissing a smoking person is supposedly like that, but, let's face it, the hormones overcome the olfactory senses, as well as most other senses...)

So cats engineered the vaping thing. We talk about cats because we are subliminally driven to acknowledge our true masters....

So I had a great experience with Vapor..... RY4 and maybe others have also, I have only seen this in one other RY4 but not as good so anyways, when my cartos gets going really good with OuRY4 in it.... this juice shines, it gets this smoky taste to it and bam it hits and taste just like a real analog,, I am like wow this is exactly what a RY4 is supposed to be and do, I have had no other juice taste like a real analog like this and it would make even the Chinese want to clone their own juice.




cant wait to hear your review on it...

So excited... VaporBeast is coming out with a premium ry4. I love these guys, so I hope the e-liquid is great! It looks like they will be releasing around 9 juice blends to start but I'm most excited about the Ry4. I understand it's a made in the USA blend!

Anyone heard this news!

This makes me think back to the story of the original creation of RY4, with Ludo and the (Dekang) flavor chemist agreeing on the name "Ruyan 4." The number four was used because the final juice recipe they agreed on was the fourth one they'd tried that day (same idea as Chanel #5...). But "Ruyan" was chosen because---as far as I've been able to find out---that word is Chinese slang for "cigarette-like" or "resembling a cigarette." OK, I get it that RY4 uses a tobacco-flavoring as its base, but come on---"cigarette-like"??? Hardly. No RY4 I've ever had---in fact, no tobacco eliquid I've ever tried---tastes even remotely like smoking a cigarette. Yes, I realize that numerous attempts have been made to replicate in an eliquid the flavor the experience of smoking tobacco (in juices such as FSUSA Pure Cig, Dekang TurboSmog, want2vape Morley, m&p RYO, and others), often by adding a smoky or ashy component to the tobacco flavor and removing any excess sweetness to leave a slightly acrid or even sour aftertaste.

For me personally, however, these juices all fail at their intention. Not just because of flavor issues, but also because the experience of vaping---where we inhale what is essentially atomized water vapor (or close)---is fundamentally different than the experience of smoking---where we inhale the hot smoke produced by burning tobacco leaves, which contains a slimy tar and hundreds of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), some of which are toxic, but which our palates somehow interpret as satisfying, even though our lungs never do truly adapt to the insult and long-term dangers of invasion by particulates, especially poisonous ones.

So, passerbyeus, if you're actually getting the virtual experience of smoking while vaping VB RY4 (and I have no reason to assume that you're not telling the truth), then hey---more power to you! Not that I'm even looking for that anymore---I'm not---but achieving any sort of accurate replication of smoking through vaping is something that's as rare as hen's teeth.

Congratulations.

I know its really crazy , I really was not looking for that so it was like wow this is so what its suppose to be but I do not like analogs anymore , now when I started vaping I would have been in heaven for sure....its seems to come out more not when I just fill the cartos but when I have used it a couple days...and no its not the cartos burning lol

Well, I received my sampler pack from MOV today and could not resist the temtation to sample CountRY4 before some steeping time. According to their web site, the samplers are pre-packaged and one would assume, already somewhat steeped. At least that is how I rationalized it to be OK in my own mind LOL. Well, I do not know what to say. This stuff truly is different than any other juice I have vaped (and I do like it immensly). The tobacco base is unique and the caramel and vanilla are well blended. I will not go into any great detail trying to supply a review, we have some veteran reviewers following this thread and they have already provided very detailed and accurate descriptions. All I can say is, I am glad I bought 15 mls of the CountRY4 on top of the sampler pack. I tried a couple of the others in the pack and the Blue Ridge is awesome (blueberry), but that is for another thread I suppose. Can't wait to try the remaining flavors in the sampler pack.

Told you. Now see if you can find that pine... :D

MOV liquids are quick-steeped on a warm plate. That's not a complete steep, but for my palate it's enough for non-tobacco stuff. Tobacco stuff, imho, (and Steve said the same) is best with another five to seven days, but its certainly good right out of the mailbox - it's just better later. :)

I found that the tobacco component develops all the complexity during the steep - I actually thought it was a bit flat when I first tried it, boy was I wrong!

If im correct it stands for: "Mountain Oak Vapors"

Yes, MOV stands for Mountain Oak Vapors. Briar, my twist batt had run out of juice and was charging earlier and I had to use a standard ego batt. Now that the twist is fully charged, I have cranked the volts up to 4+ and, yes, I do detect something that could be mistaken for pine. I think it may be the citric acid they use as a "natural preservative". If you read the contents on the bottle, right there it is.

Dang, now I feel so guilty . . . all my beloved cats, during all those years of heavy smoking . . . :cry:

Good day to you, RY4ians. Just stopping by for a shout out. No new RY4 information to report. I've stopped enjoying Dekang RY4 for the time being. Even the one RY4 I did like lately, Kick Bass, feels rather harsh to me. I am using the gentler juices these days. Just wanted to say hello to you, my friends, because I missed you.

Sandy,

Yeah, the ebb and flow thing. Tides in, tides out. High and low. I go through that, not just with RY4s, but with every juice I vape. While I can think of oodles of juices that I never liked and apparently never will, that kind of negative consistency isn't present with juices I like, even my favorites. I can't think of a single juice that I like/love/crave/enjoy every day for more than about four months at a stretch. Then I have go on hiatus from it for some months, banishing it to the hinterlands of my juice stash. It's the obverse of the old country-western song, "How Can I Miss You if You Won't Go Away?"
