Okay, so I've been vaping for a while, from Skycigs through Joytech/Evods and Vamos' and VTR with rebuildables and drippers oh and a couple of Mech's along the way. So why then, after losing my little GUS16/Xplora     do I find myself scouring the web for replacement 16mm mods and attys. It's as if I've come full circle by moving away from the bigger Mods. Agreed the vape from the Xplora was a world away from a skycig but that does not explain why looking at my collection of RBAs' and tanks I feel somewhat unfulfilled to put it mildly.  There are not a lot of 14 series mods out there compared to 18 series. I've looked at the Dicodes Teleganos as a treat but even in 14500 with the electrics on top it sort of defeats the idea of a 14500 being stealthy or at least low profile. Ideas or suggestions ????    

 It takes all sorts ...    I have to admit I was surprised at my findings, I thought I would have loved the Caramel ... Oh well c'est la Vie  

Thanks to Callum I received 4 RY4 flavours to review.

All juices are 70/30 12mg and were left to steep for a week then tested over a period of 14 days.


I used an Iclear 30s 1.5 ? on a VTR at 8.5W and an Xplora on a GUS 16 micro coiled @ 1.4 ? using rayon and Juwel filler.


1/ RY4 Deluxe. This was my ADV (All Day Vape) prior to this trial, so this is not a new flavour to me. Firstly it is a smooth vape, the throat hit is warm with no hint of harshness even after a full 10 second draw. The flavour is good with a slight hint of caramel but not too sweet. Both flavour and vapour were better using the Xplora but perfectly acceptable with the Iclear.

2/ RY4 Vanilla. This is very good!! the vanilla is there but there is something else in the background I can't identify. Don't get me wrong, it's nice but I wish I knew what it was. Again a smooth vape, almost creamy, perhaps slightly warmer than the Deluxe. Vapour and flavour was more enhanced with the Xplora.

3/ RY4 Caramel. Very pronounced flavour, the caramel overpowers the RY4 with its' sweetness. I could only use this for a short time before reaching that point where I was looking for a cleansing drink. Yet again it's smooth and warm with no harshness. I found that this juice 'clogged' the coil in the Xplora far more than any of the others!

4/ RY4 Nutz. If you take the chocolate away from the old Topic bar and munch the inner filling then you have this juice, a pronounced hazelnut flavour. Much like the Caramel, I found I could not vape this for too long without getting the 'coated' tongue feeling. As with all these juices it's smooth and warm with plenty of flavour and vape production in both devices. Of all of the juices this is my least favorite.

Overall a very good collection of juices and even though I have been a little negative about 2 don't let that stop you from giving them all a trial. I will find room for all of them in my juice collection. I have tried a lot of RY4's from loads of vendors but even the worst of this collection (in my opinion) is streets ahead of anything else I have tried!!

Okay, on to the scores. I used all the juices in both devices in the same locations to get a full picture. I tested these juices while on holiday and in temperatures from 18 to 33 Deg C. The juices became considerably less viscous at the higher temps but I suffered no leaks in either device at any time. However I am convinced the flavours were more pronounced  in the heat of the day.

I was surprised at my findings being convinced that I would put the Deluxe at the top but no, it was beaten into 2nd place

1st Vanilla *****
2nd Deluxe ****
3rd Caramel ***
4th Nutz **

As an aside, the family were not overly impressed with the Caramel and Nutz in the confined space of the car and caravan but were happy with the others, (however all were judged to be far better than my old habit of Marlboro (Red) and Gauloises).

Thanks Callum ... I shall be ordering Deluxe and Vanilla shortly. 

VTR all the way for me ... I suffered a 510 thread failure but managed to repair/bodge what would have been a fatal problem ... Use the airflow controller!!

It's about as stealthy as a Nuclear air strike and will do as much damage to whatever you drop it on but it will survive and you won't snap off the atty when you put it in your back pocket and then sit on it.

Mine arrived within 36 hours of ordering and no extra costs ...I'm chuffed to bits with mine and when I get back from my hols, I will be ordering another one!!

Ummmmm ......

Just arrived, thank you Callum.

I will let them steep for a week, then test over a period of 10 days. I intend to try each one in a dripper an Iclear 30s and my Xplora all at the same power on a regulated device.

As I am already a fan of the Deluxe, being one of only two juices I use (at the moment), I am seriously looking forward to trying this selection.
