Just got some new cartos of RY4 (24mg) today. It's got an interesting flavor, and I do like it. It's very smooth, with hints of tobacco and caramel. Slightly sweet, but not too much. Just right, in fact :)

Tried a couple of new flavors (and an auto battery) last night; my friend at work got her new stuff from V4L yesterday and brought it in. Tried the cappucino, which was very good, and the white choco strawberry, which I found to be very "light" - I could just taste a hint of strawberry in it. I liked it, but it was too delicate for me. I seem to prefer a richer/stronger flavor. As for the auto batteries, I'm glad that I went w/the manuals for myself, because they seem to give a better/stronger vape.

Yesterday, I vaped the French Vanilla Ice Cream all day, and I love it. Again, a smooth, rich flavor, and not overly-sweet.

Just my thoughts... :)

I like the RY4, too. First ordered the 20ml of juice and ordered a second bottle and a pack of cartos were thrown in. They taste different, but I like them both. The cartos taste a little to me kind of like red meat marinated in a worcestshire/sweet soy sauce. Which is really funny.

I was trying to figure out what RY4 stood for and finally gave up and just call it ....... :p

RY4 and 555 (must have a thing for numbers!) ... I couldn't live without 'em! Well, okay, maybe I could but sure wouldn't want to. But both these flavors seem to be a pretty well instant 'love or hate' kind of thing. But, hey, that's why Steve and the gang have SOOO many choices. There's something for everyone to fall in love with.
 
I was thinking of trying the RY4, but was wondering about something. I just got my first VK about a week ago, I got a few extra carts and some liquid for refilling. The French Vanilla Ice Cream was awesome, and the cola was good too. My problem came with the liquid. I can't seem to taste it, I followed all refill directions to the best of my ability, don't think I messed up but once :oops:

So far, I can't taste the caramel, butterscotch, coffee or peanut butter cup. I'm sure it's my taste buds. I was wondering if anyone could rec a few strong flavors that I could possibly taste. I know everyone's taste buds are different, just looking for opinions. Sadly I'm not a fan of menthol, though that is probably one of the strong flavors. Thanks for any help.

RY4 was one of the first flavors I ordered (along with Mint). I got it in 18mg and I hated it. Way too harsh for me, and the flavor was like burnt sugar...charred burnt sugar, no hit of tobacco, not a smooth caramel flavor, just charred sugar.

I'd be willing to revisit it in a much lower nic level, but I remain wary of it. A friend of mine I gave my passthrough to, along with several cartos, really likes it, so it all evens out.

Sue, if it's help at all, the same thing happened to me when I first started. I couldn't taste the fruit flavors..I wanted to like them but they were all too weak for me. I started adding Lorann's flavoring to them so I could get some taste (I was still using a 3 piece 901 then, not cartomizers) About 2 weeks later..the taste was too strong. I stopped adding the flavoring and found I could now taste the liquids! Fruits remain among my favorites.

hang in there, you will get some tastes back soon!
 
Thanks Mary. That's pretty much what I figured based on my reading, but it's nice to have hope. It's only a minor frustration, cause it feels like I can just almost taste them but not quite. The pluses of vaping far outweigh that con. I think I'm going to try a couple of the stronger flavors for an intern measure, and in a few weeks go back and try the others again.

@MaryKay - Thanks! I mostly lurk, having been reading the forums since late November, but I've been trying to start a "Flavor Reviews" thread without much success. Guess I don't have enough postings yet. Ah well. When I can post my reviews up, I'll have a ton under my belt.


Well keep posting! You only have 5 posts to go!:D
Tell me how long you have been vaping.

I got a pack of RY4s with my first order due to all of the positive comments about them, but I can't honestly say I enjoy them all that much. I prefer the coffee carts far more.

I felt that way too at first. Put them down for a few weeks. Then tried them again and really enjoyed them after reading someone's description on here that they taste like caramel cotton candy. It's all about perception! :D
