The Really Big RY4 Roundup (long)

[Cool_Breeze]

Bill - When that first appeared a few days ago, I was insulted for you.

 

[Roxxette]

Yeah i saw it yesterday and was like wtf? didnt bring it up cause of the way there forum handle stuff sometimes.....

 

[sandybeach]

OK, I’m back.

I filled a 2.7 ohm Ultimate CE2 Clearomizer with Mad Murdock’s Radiator Pluid and put the clearo on a Young-June v1.5t Vtube at 4.7 volts for 8.2 watts of power.

Here’s what Murdock Rumi himself had to offer on another forum about his Radiator Pluid:

“When you first try it you will get a strong black licorice taste with subtle sweet fruity taste. The black licorice taste lingers in your mouth a bit and kind of over powers the other flavors. As you continue to vape, your tastebuds will start to get used to the black licorice and the juice will taste a bit more mellow and you start to taste the other flavors more.”​

I don’t know what the other flavors are (besides the very smooth and relatively subtle black licorice), but yes, I taste a basket of mixed fruits (where no single fruit flavor stands out), along with an overall sweetness to the juice. Not cloyingly sweet, but pleasingly so. All-day-vape kind of sweet.

I’ve read some speculation that one of the ingredients is TPA Koolada, but I’ve also read some posts denying that. There is definitely something in Pluid that provides a cooling and/or mouth-watering effect. Not menthol or mint, though.

hangdude: In the thread I quoted from, I saw that you won a bottle of Pluid in a contest that Murdock Rumi sponsored, so I presume that the smaller bottle you sent me was from that, and thus indirectly from Murdock himself. No nic strength or base blend was indicated on the bottle I have. I also saw that 310Vapors is selling (when available, which means not today) a diluted version of Pluid with half the flavoring and in only one nic strength---10mg---to reduce the throat hit and intensity of the flavor.

Assuming that what I’m vaping is full strength, I don’t find the either the throat hit or the flavor overwhelming or too much in any way.

This is good stuff. To call Pluid different is putting it mildly. The color alone---Ninja Turtle Toxic Sludge green, presumably meant to replicate the green of actual automotive antifreeze that is the juice’s quasi-namesake---is unique among all the juices I’ve ever vaped. The flavor, however, isn’t nearly as wild or unusual as one might be led to assume from threads about Pluid. I like it, but it’s not from another universe or anything like that. Put simply, Radiator Pluid is a tasty and satisfying vape.

May I just say that I enjoy your reviews? I defiantly appreciate your command of the English language!

I just read for the first time the ECF blurb at the top of the E-Liquid Reviews List:

CAUTION:
1. Some reviews are paid for by the vendor and therefore may not represent a truly independent view of the product. In some cases they are a form of advertising - and adverts don't tell you what is wrong with the product.
2. Reviewers' websites may contain affiliate links, and an enthusiastic review might lead you to click a link and then purchase the product.This results in paying a fee to the reviewer (called an affiliate commission). While most reviews may be accurate and independent, we cannot guarantee this is always the case.
3. E-Liquid reviews are entirely subjective. You may get different results. If you follow a reviewer with similar tastes to your own, you may get a more satisfactory outcome.
​

For the sake of full disclosure, let me state unequivocally that no one has ever paid me to write or post a review. I've also never received a fee for putting a link at the bottom of any of my reviews. I add those links not in the hope of receiving a fee, but rather as a convenience to the reader, should anyone wish to easily check out the vendor page of the juice being reviewed.

As to #3 (reviews are entirely subjective), well DUH! We re-state that over and over and over, because it's all too easy to get seduced by a reviewer's enthusiasm or apparent authority. And even if you feel that your palate and likes/dislikes are similar to mine, there's no 100% guarantee that you'll agree with me about a specific juice. Or even 50%. Heck, there's no guarantee at all, only personal choices as to how we spend our money. LOL.

Thomas Edison famously said that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Well, eliquid reviews seem to me to be about 10% information and 90% entertainment. That's my take on it, anyway. YMMV, LOL.

I'm just here for the party


Oh lordy, I bet you hate Gretchen Wilson!!!

 

[Jim Bob]

I honestly do not think that was intended for Bill (or most of us for that matter)

FWIW I LOVE GW sandy!

 

[billherbst]

I suppose it was predictable that pop country would adopt all the slick licks and standard riffs from rock and roll to produce its "out of wedlock" offspring---rockin' country. And I don't mean The Flying Burrito Brothers or Poco when I use that term. Authentic country is historically significant and stylish in a sparse and formulaic Appalachian sort of way, and real rock and roll is the natural celebration of testosterone-laden youth, but putting them together is less about music than marketing. Cross-over is inevitable, of course, but really, some species might be better off not trying to interbreed. Mate a male donkey with a female horse, and you get a mule, which is infertile and can't produce offspring. Ah, that's rockin' country.

The problem is that rockin' country is catchy, and all the songwriters, producers, and studio musicians in Nashville know it, even if it is an evolutionary dead end. I figured I was a goner back in 2004 when I actually liked the ersatz rock production and driving push of the Montgomery Gentry tune "Gone."

Gone like a freight-train, gone like yesterday
Gone like a soldier in the civil war, bang bang
Gone like a '59 Cadillac
Like all the good things that ain't never coming back
She's gone (gone) gone (gone) gone (gone) gone, she's gone
​

The irony is that I always heard those lyrics as a commentary on real music, rather than being left by a lover. LOL.

 

[sandybeach]

Yay, Bill, you like Montgomery Gentry. Yes, my fiddling sister hates today's country music. I, being the music hoochie that I am, love all kinds of music.

If I had to choose one genre of country that I love the best it would probably be bluegrass. I go to East Tennessee to get my bluegrass fix at least once a year.

 

[sandybeach]

And I saw Gretchen Wilson play an outdoor concert downtown Chicago. Couldn't find anyone to go with me so I went by myself. What a blast that was. Everyone was dancing with everyone. It didn't even matter that I am ancient!

I will let you guys know how MaddCatt Vapor's RYJ4, RYW4 and Honey Flue are as soon as I get them loaded up.

 

[scarf-ace]

Not a country music fan, except for Johnny Cash.

Any opera/salsa/80's new-wave pop loving RY4 fans out there?

Well Opera is better than Country... That's for sure

Bluegrass I like.

I love opera, salsa, tango, flamenco, and new-wave pop. Oh yeah, and I listen to the Disney Channel. Love pop music, especially Asian pop.

I majored in music in college -- classical guitar was my instrument.

 

[scarf-ace]

TANGO! Yes indeed. All Latin music, basically. My mom was from BA so I heard tango music all the time growing up, especially Carlos Gardel and the amazing Libertad Lamarque. Dad is a retired opera singer so basically opera was the default music of my youth.

**vaping Royal Blend while listening to Fritz Wunderlich...ahhhh, life is good***

 

[billherbst]

My post was tongue-in-cheek (just in case that wasn't obvious).

I like music from nearly every genre---Irish jigs, hornpipes, and reels, classical orchestral and ensemble, renaissance, folk, blues, rock 'n roll (of all decades and sub-genres), country, Japanese koto and kabuki, opera, Bulgarian women's choir, sitar ragas, Broadway showtunes, jazz from all eras (from '20s/'30s Louis Armstrong and Django Reinhardt through '40s bebop and big band through '50s Miles Davis and Dave Brubeck cool, to '60s fusion, '70s Keith Jarrett solo piano improv, to '80s Eberhard Weber and Pat Metheny), ragtime, baroque, Gregorian chants, techno, drone, ambient, industrial, disco, dub, Motown, R&B, funk, a cappella, barbershop, reggae, ska, calypso, salsa, acoustic, electronic, world, zydeco---OK, I know I'm leaving out a thousand other genres, but you get the drift.

I'm not saying that I like every piece of music I hear, just that the genre doesn't matter.

And yes, this whole discussion is waaaaaayyyyy Off Topic, but it's so much fun! We'll get back to RY4s soon enough...

Where can I get paid to do this again? Lol that would be nice paid to vape!

I saw that awhile back, then it was slightly changed. I think its good. At first I thought heeeeeey me? Then I rolled my eyes and moved on. We are legit but new people don't know better ya know and thats true, at least it was for me...

ECF is a stickler to those rules and we probably all know one sweet lady who was almost banned because they thought she was an affiliate while she was only head over heels for a vendor.....
ECF should have a bigger warning that reads.....don't buy the mall kiosk ecigs lol

 

[Cool_Breeze]

I guess when things go corporate, this is what we get.

I might rather see a 'Reviewers shall ascribe to the following conditons... Those found in violation shall be terminated' in the rules rather than a shadow looming over all reviewers threads.

...just a thought in any event.

Lol terminated.....

 

[Cool_Breeze]

...at least there is an upper-right hand "X" in the Caution so that it can be terminated.

The thread now appears "Caution-free" for me.
