hangdude,
Thanks ever so much for the heads up on this one! Of the ten RY4s new to me that I've sampled specifically for this big review, QuickNic's RY4 is unprecedented.
Rich at Quick Nic kindly sent me a 15ml bottle to review. It arrived in a clear glass dropper bottle (nice), and the first thing I noticed was that the liquid in the bottle was reddish-light brown colored, beautifully transparent, with almost a glowing quality. Lovely, and a good sign.
Rich had emailed me that all of Quick Nic's juices are made to order, and he advised that this one might need some steeping time for the flavors to blend and marry. Well, I couldn't wait, of course, so I dripped five drops into a Joye LR510 1.5 ohm atty powered by my Little Sister VV set at 4.2 volts and took a toke. Then another, and then slowly, yet another.
Holy cow! The angels sang, or maybe it was the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Either way---and even without steeping---this is one spectacular juice! Beside the fact that it tasted great as a classic RY4, it had that quality that some rare juices have of conveying that they are special, hand-crafted very lovingly by people who know what they're doing. This juice embodied both qualities---fantastic flavors and the aura of a royal pedigree.
The flavor is consistent from inhale through exhale---composed of equal elements of tobacco, caramel, and vanilla, plus that pronounced nuttiness that only a few extremely good RY4s have. The woodsy tobacco is very good and delivers a delicious, sharp bite without being at all harsh, probably due to the 24mg nic concentration of this particular bottle. 18mg and less would probably be smoother, but not necessarily better. The ample caramel comes right along with the tobacco, and a very succulent, rich caramel it is. Both tobacco and caramel are then subtly wrapped in vanilla and nut. Right now, all those flavors are very distinct to my palate, easily identifiable as separate. I can't help but wonder how they'll blend after a week or two of steeping. Fat chance of this bottle lasting that long.
I've vaped a bunch of great new juices recently, among them Vermillion River's Kentucky Premium and Prime Vaping's Natural Tobacco and Nostalgia. But Quick Nic's RY4 is even better than those. In short, it's fabulous.
Ranking this juice is giving me fits. I'm a bit mistrustful of my first impulse, which is to be completely seduced, so I will try to resist that urge. Even maintaining a critical stance, however, and under the assumption that aging will improve it, the only question is how high a ranking should I give? At first I agreed with hangdude and figured I'd place it at #5, just ahead of Prime Vaping PV4. But the more I vape this juice, the higher up the ladder it goes. OK, this is after only one day of vaping, but Quick Nic RY4 seems to be a real contender for the crown.
I just vaped each of the current Top 4 to compare, and I've made my decision. Because of its wonderful balance and sweet nuttiness, Quick Nic RY4 shoots like a rocket all the way to (trumpet fanfare, please)
#2, just nosing out Ozark Fresh Kentucky Burley RY4, and not very far behind the reigning heavyweight champ, BWB RY4.
And guess what? Unlike BWB RY4, Janty RY4 (or AVE's Boba's Bounty, for that matter), Quick Nic RY4 is actually
available, with no waiting or web site vigils. Every RY4 lover would be well-advised to order a bottle of this extraordinary juice tomorrow.
