Please explain the RY designation: as in RY4

Appreciate the thoughtful insight, Prism. That explains a lot.

Thanks for that link, Katya. Very informative!

You're welcome! And yes, it doesn't get any more informative than that. Billherbst is the world authority on RY4. Really--the guy is amazing!

You should start reading from the end, though--post #4080!

Thank you all for the suggestions. I will try them all. Really need as close to analog taste I can get right now...preferably something that tastes like Winston, which I have smoked exclusively for the last 50-plus years! I still haven't given them up entirely but have cut way back from previous 2 pks a day to about half a pack, vaping as often as I can to make up the difference. I drive a taxi for a living and still feel like I should not vape in the presence of passengers, due to the newness of the experience...both to me and others less informed of the practice.

I use RY2 as an all day vape (from Liberty Flights). It is one of those flavours that doesn't overpower your tastebuds. Their RY4 is (to me) vile yet everyone raves about it.
Best way to describe any RY juice is toffee/caramel undertones with a slight nutty taste and whatever 'tobacco' flavours the maker decides to mix that with. The sweetness related to number thing that every one talks about is pretty much obsolete because every single vendor produces their own mix.
It is one of those juices that is nearly impossible to describe. My non vaping friends will often ask what flavour i am vaping and i have yet to find an answer for them. Most think the smell is awful !!
It is one of those tastes that becomes a favourite without you being able to pin down why.

The original Dekang RY4 was the flavor almost everyone loved and wanted (kind of like Boboas Bounty now) and remember that back then there were not as many ejuice vendors.

I still have a 1 liter bottle of the original 2007 RY4 here. 100% PG / 11mg
I wonder if it still tastes as great as it did back then

I think you are being most considerate of your passengers. That being said, I wonder if you can have the best of both worlds: vaping and consideration! My non-smoking friends love the smell of my eliquids, especially the RY4 blends that I have. The vanilla comes through and is a pleasant odor.

So, maybe you can ask your passengers if they mind if you vape and explain to them that they are not getting any second hand smoke. It will require a frequent explanation, but you might be surprised at how many people know about ecigs and even use them. In addition, you will be doing all vapers a favor by educating the masses. There is way too much negative press out there regarding vaping and we have to be advocates so we don't lose our right to vape!

If it is the difference between smoking and vaping for you, I would most definitely ask passengers if they would mind. Getting off the cigarettes is a life saver, my friend! Vape on!

Thanks for the great information! I just bought a bottle of RY4 at my local vape shop and did not realize there are so many variations. I will have to try some of these.
