Inawera RY4 Not What It Once Was - Any good alternatives??

[GunJack]

I've been on Inawera RY4 home-mixed for almost 10 years and I only vape the one flavour. The last 2 batches I've had from them (I buy direct) have been....wrong. The flavour isn't what it was, it's bland and weak.

I really need to find another RY concentrate that's not extortionately expensive, but I've been out of the market for so long I don't know where to look any more

Any tips anyone???

Hangsen always used to be quite good on tobacco flavours . . . not that I've used RY4 in years now or personally tried this:

I did try a shortfill of this one sometime back - had to give it to Colin from the Common as it was a bit too ciggy like for my tastes thesedays:

www.vape-it.co.uk/concentrates/sir-walter-concentrate-range/sir-walter-ry4-cons-flavour-shot

This was always extremely popular:

www.cremedevape.com/RY4-Flavour-Concentrate-100ml

Bought when on offer, no concentrate I don't think . . . but it was really good, if you like coffee of course!

GunJack I did like Hangsen RY4 (so much so that I bought 30ml bottles at least twice!)..... but that was also over 10 years ago too !

China, used to be very good at tobacco/tobacco-esque flavours in the early days.

Thanks Perpetua and Postmodern Smoking certainly food for thought in there... I can't get over how expensive concentrates are over here - buying direct from Inawera was costing around £17 delivered for 100ml !!

I hate them for changing the recipie

Looks like, with postage, I'm going to have to fork out a fair bit to try a few of those above.... I ain't paying £6-odd for a 10ml bottle of ready-made to try, so I'm going to wade right in with the concentrates...wish me luck peeps!!

I could be wrong....it's been a LONG while, but Cloud9 (AKA Creme de Vape now) RY4 used to also be custom labelled Hangsen, if I recall correctly.

I've just been looking at them a bit closer...the creme one they recon use at 20% !!!!!!!!!! WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!????? Inawera used to be 7%...

I'm going to try the Sir Walter one first, that recommends 12%, and £14 is better than £30 (even with the discount ) to try it..

Not sure if our forum code still works for Vapeit UK Gra  - worth a try for 25% discount, it's/was AAEC25

(Just tried "AAEC25" on a dummy basket..... doesn't appear to work anymore).

That's sad . . . ah well worth a go, thank you Dave.

Perpetua Mandy I'd already ordered anyway, but thanks for the potential tip

[GunJack]

Just thought I'd report back on this.... (not that anyone will be remotely interested !! )


I got the Sir Walter from vapeituk and it's really NOT anything like RY4 it's more like another Inawera flavour, Gypsy King - strong earthy tobacco flavour...

..back to the drawing board
