Anyone looking to grab one of Bill's "A" grade RY4s, Halo has a Veteran's Weekend sale 20% off. Coupon code is "Freedom."

As a vet and someone who likes Tribeca, I would say kudos to Halo for offering few coupon codes, but offering them when it means the most. :)

I will say the mix is the real value of RY4. I accidentally left behind my miracle mix of Heavenly tobacco/ECBlend Ry4/Hanseng RY4 on my desk for a trip out of town. I was forced to vape HHV Heavenly Army and other non-favorites. Although HA came through last night, it was only meh today. I had my subordinate who joined me later on the trip bring me my 15ml bottle of RY4 magic, and it was delivered in my absolute time of need.

RY4, don't leave home without it. :thumb:

Yeah I got the Halo coupon in the mail also. To bad I just rec'd an order from them. Wasn't thinking ahead to holidays :duh:
Still waiting on notice from N-E-T that they are shipping.

Yea, I'm waiting for the "Black Friday" sales, I HOPE!!!! Was not a vaper til after Black Friday last year, so interested to see what happens. I get newsletters from all my fave vendors, but if anyone hears anything from GeJ, NET, or others, please let me know!! PLEASE!!! After almost a year (Dec 15 will be 1 yr) I think I have kinda figured out what I like and don't, just starting to explore NETs so it's a whole new world! Lots of juice in the "meh" hamper.... a few that go with me everywhere when I travel with business :)

wow, RY4 is my favorite, its my go to juice. I've been mixing my own from wizards for over a year. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only RY4 lover out here.

Nope.. you're not the only one and I'd say, outside of your's truly, that you have found a very honorable den of RY4 info at ECF http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ly-big-ry4-roundup-long-468.html#post10803126


Im posting to say that I've finally broken through the ACCOUNT ERROR prob I had last week at MOV and ordered the 3fer

Mountain Oak Vapor Pack 15mL
[1st Flavor - Dark Temptations - Caramela]2.4% (24mg)]
[2nd Flavor:Tennessee Gold Label - Full Virginia Flake RY4]2.4% (24mg)]
[3rd Flavor:Tennessee Tobacco - Classic CountRY4]2.4% (24mg)]

Somewhere around 200 different retail RY4s are available in the vaping marketplace, with more appearing as time goes on. Currently, 148 of those have been reviewed in this thread and occupy a place on The Big RY4 List.

Of those we’ve reviewed, about a third are very, very good. Fully half are good, OK, or average---easily passable as decent or at least not-half-bad vapes. Only the bottom sixth are either clearly sub-par or just plain lousy. All in all, that’s a pretty impressive batting average for any eliquid flavor.

Below is the cream of the crop, the Best RY4s in the World (in my opinion). Others from the top third could be added to this short list of grand prize winners, and some vapers would argue that their favorite RY4 should be added. But this is my list, so it’s based on my cumulative judgment (today) after 2 1/2 years as the “orchestra conductor” of this thread. If you wish to publish your own list of Best RY4s on the thread, feel free.

Some superb and notable RY4s are not on the list for the simple reason that they’re not easy to obtain, usually because they’ve been discontinued by their makers. Some of us still possess stashes of those precious RY4s, and more bottles probably exist, but you can’t go online and order them, so I’ve not included them.

Here they are, presented alphabetically---

The Best RY4s in the World

Dekang RY4 (now called DK4) - classic
ElixirLiquid RY4 - classic
Halo Tribeca - custom
Hangsen RY4 - classic

Since you started this project, and got everyone here addicted and following :D, I think you deserve sincere kudos and pats on the back and applause for all your research and your willingness to share, listen to others, and post continuing updates to the Big List. From my experience, what I have tried (now, I am NOT as experienced as others here), you are pretty spot on. Yes, we all have our separate tastes, but overall, THANK YOU BILL!!!!

I'm already glad I found the ECF and especially the 'PRO' vapers here to help and direct the rest in the eJuice world. There is only one on your list I have used and if I use that single example I wouldn't be a big fan of RY4s.

I will attempt others based on further study of your categorization in the BIG RY4 LIST .
Thanks

One thing I've found with these different RY4s, is different flavors come forward. I find caramel the most in the ECBLend RY4, tobacco in Heavenly Tobacco, both vanilla and caramel in Mad 4 that comes together for almost a marshmallow flavor, while the Hangsen tasted smokey at opening and now the vanilla has really come to the front. The only RY4 I just have not taken a liking to is the one from MBV, it's just flat. Then again, I don't like any MBV juices but I think that has something to do with the base they use.

Still not sure about Tribeca, this one seems to change the most. Now that mine has mellowed (takes two months IMO) I am starting to taste some caramel where it was absolutely absent at week two. The Myfreedomsmokes RY4 was bitter at opening, now the sweet has come out some which has balanced the juice nicely.

I'm gonna try those Janty juices next, but first I need to place a Fasttech order for some equipment. I do have some Allusion Caramel Wild Wood on steep, not an RY4 I know but it tasted great dripping a few drops and it really interests me.

I totally get tobacco from Heavenly Tobacco, it's a real analog lol.

I guess I didn't know enough when my 7ml Tribeca sample came. It was ok, actually better than Torque, Prime and Capt Jack. After vaping 5 cartos of Tribeca I mixed the remaining amout with Voodoo and made a more palatable blend, for me anyway.

So I re-ordered 30ml Voodoo and Tribeca and will let Tribeca steep way longer than 12 days before I go back and try it again.
Thanks for the tip.

I did that very same thing with about half the 30ml Tribeca bottle I had, it was just too overpowering. With Voodoo it become my drinking vape and I still go back to what I have left. I left about 10ml of the original Tribeca sit for 2+ months, and it mellowed a ton. I actually think Heavenly tobacco is a more mellow Tribeca, but found the taste of Tribeca to be very good after a long steep. I just ordered another 30ml bottle which will probably come today, and I won't touch it until the new year. :thumb:

Not sure if a DIY could make it to Bills Best RY4s in the World list, I guess it would not be right :D but I will be sending out RY4 Dream in a couple more weeks :vapor:

Ah, passer, you've become an RY4-makin' machine. First you made your own RY4, then RY4 Frenchy, and now RY4 Dream. A couple more and you'll deserve your own Big List.

The only criteria for making any of my lists (besides the obvious one of being an RY4) is that a juice be easily available for purchase, which usually means that it's offered by an online retail vendor.

Not Yet... I'm real new to vaping so I'm still learning/researching. The ECF is now my library so I follow recommendations from particular folks in ECF on juices and hardware
.
That is why, at this point, I've only ordered from MOV, HHV, N-E-T and Halo but have not rec'd my MOV or N-E-T juices. 'sigh'

______________ UPDATE ____________

Since I was the last post yesterday I thought I would update that I rec'd the MOV shipment of CountRY4, Full Virginia Flake RY4 Limited Edition and Caramela sample pack.

Entire package arrived intact, no leaks. Bottles opened to 'breathe'. Hey, wine breathes and eJuice is no less important for the nerves or the soul. heh heh

Realized that I must now go back to somewhere or get it here as to which one and how long to steep. That info could/should? be part of the RY4 and Natural Tobacco lists? just askin'

Anyway, so now I'm anxious and I must wait a little. Will imbibe some HHV Tobacco to fill the wait time.

Ahlusion Caramel WW is good; really good.! Again, Wlad knocks it out of the park with this one. His caramel is unique- rich, creamy, sweet & delicious.. I often wonder why he hasn't just jumped head first into RY4 production- he's just so damn talented and ... CWW is almost there- from an RY4 perspective. Its not to hard to envision what a true Ahlusion RY4 would taste like...I've experimented adding numerous Ahlusion vanillas to CWW and I've found Vecchio is a good way to invite vanilla and a richer tobacco to the party. A word of caution for anyone wanting to try this: Vecchio needs at least 2 months to steep, however the combination of these two are eye-openjng!
