The Hangsen Thread

[Art Mustel]

1 x Hangsen Highway Flavoring Concentrate (Essence) 10ml
1 x Hangsen Apple Flavoring Concentrate 10ml
1 x Hangsen Strawberry Flavoring Concentrate 10ml
2 x Hangsen Watermelon Flavoring Concentrate 10ml

1 x Hangsen Italian Cream Flavoring Concentrate 10ml
1 x Hangsen Peanut Butter Flavoring Concentrate 10ml
1 x Hangsen Ice Cream Flavoring Concentrate 10ml

All of these will be my first time using the Hangsen line for these flavors. Did I do good or do I have some dogs in the mail lol?

Even when I don't vape other than tobacco flavors, your list is already watering my mouth, They must be all delicious. I can speak only for Highway here: one of the best tobacco flavors they make.

The others...I am sure you are going to have a great time experimenting with.

 

[LoveVanilla]

Hmmm, LoveVanilla...I am afraid you are going to expand it to "15 Hangsen's All Stars", I may follow of course.

Could you please do another of your excellent minireviews of SE and CO? very curious about them

And, how did you mix CIGAR (if you have) to get anything out of it? Mine is a total meh even at 10%, I am starting to believe that this is a very outdated bottle of essence, or something else...

LOL, true enough! Hmmm, let me see:

SE Tobacco is Seven Wolves, also called September Wolves. It's a smooth Chinese cigarette tobacco of light to moderate flavor, and a faint finish of peach. Sweetness and strength of flavor might be comparable with Churchill.

CO Tobacco is Cohiba, a cigar tobacco. Not a cigar smoker so don't have the full vocabulary here. I find many cigars have what I term a "green" flavor that to me is somewhat stinky and not appealing e.g. TFA Cubano, FA Cuban Supreme, etc. Don't find that w/CO; it's a more refined cigar of moderate strength, not bitter though somewhat blunt or abrupt in flavor, and, to my taste, unsweetened. I enjoy it straight or mixed; for example with the SE.

I don't have HG Cigar but, unless you want something really strong, you might want to try the CO.

I have my fingers crossed on the Highway and it was added because of reviews from you and Dannyv45 lol. Yeal, several of these flavors will be my first time trying them period but even if they don't work out stand a lone I figure I'll be able to come up with some combo for them. Shipping was a little steep but the final price wasn't too bad.

Thanks LoveVanilla. Thanks to your description now I know i will leave the wolves running wild, however i have to order the CO.

FA and TFA Cuban share the same artificial taste. However the Inawera TA Cuban is another story: excellent, no "grass", nothing tastes artificial in it. One of the best pure tobacco flavors I've had. Semisweet and very aromatic. It is meant to be added to other tobaccos to accentuate their flavors (4%) but I can tell you it is very very good as standalone.

i was a bit confused since they have another one, KO Tobacco, that is supposed to be "Kool". I didn't like it at all, so i have it ready together with Cigar for when you ask for their worst lol.

 

[LoveVanilla]

Worst list, lol. Might force me to revisit a few... Spouse still smoking Kool Menthols; tried KO to no avail. To my taste, KO might need more tobacco and slight ash. Thinking RY1 might round out the tobacco but haven't worked with "ashy". Currently have IW Classic Smooth, DNB, Virginia TA, or maybe FA Dark Vapor. Thoughts or suggestions?

 

[LoveVanilla]

Yes, definitely. In fact, I've been vaping a lot of Fortune Strike over the last 2-3 weeks. Need to do some more sampling for top 10, but other contenders might include:

British
Churchill
Gold & Silver
Parmal
Magic Mix
DE Tobacco
SE "
CO "
Congress

Whoa, stop the presses! Somehow I left Canadian off that list; one of my favorites. Kind of like a strong version of Red USA Mix -- and quite tasty.

Ry1 might work but I think Red Usa Mix would do better, if you already have it. Otherwise I would try the HS Fortune strike at 6% with an equal proportion of menthol, 2% Koolada and only 2% of DNB. Or maybe RY1 would work, but i think it could change the taste too far away from Kool. Try both or more lol, whatever but hangsen's KO.

Looks like I need to investigate some of the Hangsen sources. I'm not one to send my CC out of country, but I'm open to USA based suppliers who have to good mixes, concentrates, and selections.

I've been more of a Dekang fan over the years and that's because some of the Hangsen flavors have had the green taste that didn't go away during the life of a 50ml bottle. I guess I should have steeped them for a while. I seldom get any off taste from Dekang flavors that I buy.

Lately I've been vaping Madvapes Tobacco and their Mad 4 juice. The price is right and the flavor is just about where I like it. So many juices are over the top in flavorings. Some, I add some plain old Dekang Tobacco to tone down the flavor strength.

 

[JeremyR]

Here are all the hs flavors I have right now. Suppliers were BH, RTS, and the old lone leaky bottle from ECX. (Red USA)

Arranged in the order I prefer them. Arabic is the first two and i vape that 98% of the time. Still haven't found one that can fill its shoes yet.




CO has been on my wish list to try. Looking for the strongest tobacco flavors. That taste good also.

An alternative to KO would be dromendary.

I see #4 in order is G&S, I always forget to order it, what is it like, rayon?

Also, about Arabic, what proportion of it you use?

i have tasted very good ones by Dekang (used to order them - e liquids - from fasttech, but now liquids and batteries take too long to deliver). I have never found Dekang Concentrated flavors in the USA, wish i could.

That's a nice selection Jeremy. Looks like you did solid research before buying. Discounting things like TFA's M Type, the "strongest" tobacco I've found so far is probably Hangsen's Canadian; sort of a Red USA Mix on steroids.

And who makes "dromendary"? Or are you referencing camel flavors like HG's Desert Ship, etc.?

I used to really like (premixed) Dekang 555 and MLB but when I started diy I quit ordering them. As for Hangsen, I've only tried Ry1, Ry4, Blended, and Tab Blended. I liked them all, but had my problems with all of them too. They seemed a little mild at 3% so I went to 7% and then it seemed like they didn't develop right with steeping. They did make some excellent juices when combined with other flavors though so nothing got tossed lol.

Besides Love's TFA M-Type, I would also call TFA- DK Tobacco a strong flavor too.

Hiya Love, how ya do'in ???

and i would add to those 2 lethal weapons...tfa flue cured lol.

 

[LoveVanilla]

Hey Slots, good to see you! And as long as we're talking deadly weapons (i.e. tobacco style) we might throw TFA's Red Type onto the pile. And has anyone tried Inawera's Classic Smooth? The closest to licking the inside of an overstuffed ashtray I hope to ever come...

The red USA there from ECX was part of my first hangsen order over a year ago. And I still have it so I guess I don't care for it that much.

Dromendary is hangsens camel menthol - I left the menthol part off.... A guy was on here a while back raving about it compared to camel menthols. Its hard to find though. I think RTS had picked it up one time, or was it buy hangsen? Lol not sure.

HS Master list - http://p.globalsources.com/IMAGES/PD...1055962822.pdf

Besides Love's TFA M-Type, I would also call TFA- DK Tobacco a strong flavor too.

And I have both. Got 30 ml of dk tab only made one bottle with it since I got it months ago. M-type also in 10ml. I guess they just didn't seem as appealing... I don't like an ashy vape so much. I just made a couple bottles of his last night and saw them but didn't think about it I'll have to do another batch with them. Problem with the dk tab is it sticks around in an atomizer.

And your mouth
That's the part I didn't like .. you can't get the taste of just one puff out of you mouth for a while.
Can't change that like you can a wick

The "Tobacco Absolute" is a strong flavor too, and on the "grassy side. It's also an oxymoron ... mild flavor, but a strong one, I only use 1%
"Cowboy" is another strong flavor, and it's definitely cigarish to me.

Bill,
I see you already use "Smooth", but have you tried the RY4 Double.
I go up to 10% solo and it's good, ... you would like it, as it has a lot of caramel flavor, and is sweet.
Also, you may like the "Black Honey". It's good with different fruits, (not so much solo) .. Mango, Apple, Cherry, Blueberry, Banana, etc etc.
The TFA "Tobacco Blend" I like. It's even good solo at 4%. It's on the sweet side, and I wrote "yum" on my notes.
The "Tobacco" (not the same as Tobacco Blend or Tobacco Absolute), at 2% is mild and smooth, and a good one to use in recipes, with other flavors.

Slots, I also find interesting the TFA "Tobacco", it has an intense aroma of flowers or spices? or something that at first may be disappointing. I bought it together with M type, DK, and many other TFA's, back when I started DIY. Imagine a total newbe trying to imitate a cigarette flavor with those!

Thanks for mentioning it, I will revisit it now and see if I get lucky combining it with something.
Yayyy, Crazy Chemist is coming back!

Hey LoveVanilla, what's your favorite vanilla?

I'm lucky enough that I like most of the vanillas that I've tried although they all fall short of the real deal. (Ain't it a shame real vanilla is such a coil gunker?) A few months back I read some posts on here where folks were combining two or more vanilla type flavors so I decided to try that, and it's working out good for me. Currently I'm using TFA vanilla swirl and Inawera Wanilia with good results. I've also got some Hangsen in the mail. I'm hoping it will be good as well.
