I recently got a Zmax. I have several Ego twists, a Spinner or two, and a bunch of minis. All I can say is WOW!!!!!! My fave Mr vape RY4 was wonderful before, now it is AWESOME!!!!! As for NIC, I normally vape 6 mg, received my "sample" of 12 mg Heartland RY4 (thanks Cool!) and I can definitely tell it is higher NIC. Something about the "zing"???? Really enjoying it, but must make sure not to pacifier vape it with the higher NIC. My vaping has gone to a higher level! And this is just with a simple EVOD!!!!

:vapor:

Edit: PS, for you Mr Vape RY4 lovers (like me), just received an email from them. They are running a 20% off sale with code happyvaping. I was trying to hold out for Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales, but heck, I can always order more. This juice will NOT go to waste, my "comfort vape"

OK, back to regularly scheduled programming...

I find that certain flavors taste better on a twist or spinner than they do on a mod. For me, most fruit flavors are better on a twist or spinner while dessert vapes are usually better on warmer temps on a mod. YMMV

Mystik RY4 from Crystal Canyons Vapes has been my ADV for almost four months now. It is unlike any other ry4 I've ever had. I can't even adequately describe it other than it is heaven in a bottle. Creamy vanilla, salted carmel, fresh roasted nuts and smooth tobacco make it impossible for me to stop vaping. I have become extremely finicky about my flavors and only buy from vendors who are consistent and use pure nic and vg/pg. I can tell if something isn't right and will stop buying if it isn't. Mystik doesn't have any known harmful ingredients in it and yet it tastes beyond delicious.

Crystal Canyon Vapes, by the way, does not use any of the harmful additives or food colorings in their juices. They pride themselves on the ingredients they use. Anything ordered from them will be of the highest quality and made with health and well-being in mind.

Some of the eliquids I previously used from other vendors, especially the vanilla custard, was causing me to cough and hack so I knew it wasn't good for me and gave it up.

Mr Vape RY4 is very good.

S&S Mods had a good sale, and I was able to purchase a small bottle of their RY4 named OLD #4. It came quickly as ordered, 24mg, 50/50. I have left it for two weeks to steep. The nose of the nicquid is a cigar smell, its color is yellow.

S&S Mods' Old #4 is very like CCV's RY4, a sweet cigar flavor. I can't really taste the vanilla, but it does have a kind of sweetness. The caramel is stonger, but still well behind the cigar flavor.

Old #4 is a good flavor, clean and full of flavor. It works good with low and high wattage. It is on the outside edge of RY4 custom. As a flavor, I give it an A-. As an RY4, I give it a B.

I've added to The Big RY4 List both CrystalCanyonVapes Mystik RY4 and S&SMods Old #4, with links to the respective vendor's product pages, along with links to the reviews just posted, with credit given to the reviewers by their ECF handles.

Oh no, you don't get off that easy, Bill. Old #4 is going in the mail with a few others by Monday. I finally received my final bottle (Butterfly's RY4, review to follow), so your care package is now complete. I am sending four "RY4s" that you haven't reviewed yet (the quotes are because of some's loose usage of the term RY4).

I also have a some Mom and Pops concentrates for you to experiment with.

I just got Vapre rites VR4 over the weekend and that was the very first thing that i tasted BUTTER and it was sooooo good that has been my ADV since, I did get a chance to goto some B&M's over the weekend and get some of their RY4's but they just didn't hold a candle to the VR4. I will try the others Bill suggested as far as caramel rich though, it looks like that is MY sweet spot for vaping.

Thanks
Funny you mention this. I've been sick this week so all these flavors are changing. I had some Caramel Wild wood and I wasn't really tasting it, so I put about 4ml of Hangsen in. Well the butter came through like gangbusters even though I had never tasted this in the Hangsen RY4 before. Can't say I love it, and it might be in part because my taste buds are screwed up, but it is different. And different isn't always bad...

Thanks for posting this. I gave Mr Vape a look and found this on their RY4 page:

Check out what Bill Herbst had to say about our RY4 in his post #1600 "Really Big RY4 Round up"

That's terrific and good marketing given that anyone who uses that link, will see our resident genius Bill gave them a nice write-up because they have a fine RY4.

So based on your recommendation, Bill's and hangdude's reviews, and the coupon...I ordered a 50ml bottle. Also threw in a bottle of Wild Peach tobacco for good measure. :thumb:

With a 50% off coupon, I ordered a 30ml bottle of Butterfly's RY4 at 24mg and house blend of 80/20. It took two weeks for the bottle to get to my house. This is probably due to the sale causing a backlog. The juice is nearly clear, and has a slight metallic smell.

I am pleased with the flavor of this classic RY4. It reminds me of Apollo, Volt, or Extremejuice, but Butterfly's RY4 has more flavor. The caramel and vanilla are as one flavor, and the tobacco is the artificial tobacco used by many vendors in their classic RY4s. But it seems that everything is stronger.

Sometimes a classic RY4 tastes like you are vaping unflavored VG. The flavors are so muted that you wonder why they charge so much for so little. With Butterfly's RY4, I wonder how they put in that much flavor, but still make it taste like a classic RY4. I normally like my RY4s with the tobacco out front, but this RY4 is a blend of flavors that act as one. And it works.

The one thing I don't know yet, is how this flavor will steep. Normally the flavors blend together as time progresses, so it should only get better. I will send a good sample of Butterfly's RY4 off to Bill for an expert's review, but I am saving plenty for my own enjoyment.

hangdude, would you please post or PM me the coupon code? I have purchased several of her juices and although I use high VG, I find her juice nice and flavorful without extra flavor. I have not tried her RY4 and with your review I guess I must. I find your tastes similar to mine, but I also like sales :). If not, I am sure she will have another sale and I am on her customer list and newsletter subscription list. Thanks!

Currently, Butterfly's eJuices is offering a "buy 30ml, get 10ml free" coupon. This is a minor discount for her, as the average is between 40%-50% discount. The current sale ends Sunday, so I would wait until Monday, or whenever her next deal is posted. Of course you can always try to win a free 30ml bottle by posting in her contest thread (contest ends Monday).

I got my VR4 from Vaperite this morning. You guys were definitely right about the sweetness. However, I'm afraid it is a little too sweet for me. I would call it more "butter-scotchy" than buttery, but that's just me. I was so sure that I would like it, I chose more VR4 for my sample bottle. Oh well, I have a full bottle of 12mg if anyone wants to do some RY swapping. Thanks again!

Since VR4 is an NET (natural tobacco extract), let it steep for a couple weeks. The natural tobacco presence will step forward significantly and the sweetness will diminish, giving it much better balance. It's not a long-steeper, though, so once it gets good, vape it up. My experience over some years with a number of bottles of VR4 is that once it hits the six-month mark, the flavor begins to fade surprisingly fast. Technically, Todd at Vaperite says that VR4 has a one-year shelf life, but I think of it as a six-month juice.

I'm wishing now that I would've chosen their RY4 as my sample bottle, lol. Oh well. I will give it a couple of weeks and try it. I have some Alusion Bluegrass Burely (I thinks that's the name) NET, and I might even try adding a little of it to a small tank just for fun. Thanks!

In my opinion, Ahlusion Blue Grass Burley is the Gold Standard of NETs. By itself, it's a little too potent for me, but it's brilliant for Frankenjuicing. I mix a little bit of BGB with any tobacco-flavored juice where I want to bolster and bring up the tobacco element or add a nice tone of authentic tobacco flavor to a synthetic.

It seems like the flavor is going away fast in this VR4........I have a iTaste MVP 2.0 in the mail so I will leave the little i have left for it to get here and taste it on there to be sure it's just not my set-up. Right now i have a Halo G6 with the KR808D1 battery so i have no way to tune anything. I have just ordered a bottle of Dekangs RY4 just to see what the ORIGINAL was like. http://www.eliquidmarket.com/e-liquids/dekang-ry-4-eliquid/

Gonna wait for the updated list then order the TOP 3 :):):)

Interesting.....
Is that indeed the original Dekang RY4? Does that link ship from China or where? Thanks.

I just ordered this morning so when they send a shipping confirmation I will update but I got the link from SOMEWHERE in this forum I have read and read so much that I can't remember where..........sorry.
