I'm looking for a cigar flavor with cedar notes

I stand corrected. :pensive:

I thought that when I was browsing around, I saw some UK vendors that sold Hangesn ā€œEssenceā€ flavoring, I went back and looked at what Fasttech sold in the way of Hangsen; appears to be just be premixed eliquids, no essence flavorings. Well, poop. Glad you located them in AU.

Hereā€™s one in the UK:

No Arabic though, or RY1 but they have Highway and Iā€™m tempted to buy the Smart Cat, there are no reviews about it but I like the name :joy_cat:

Hmmmā€¦ I stand corrected as well then! mustā€™ve missed it (wonder what else I missed!..I just shouldnt try & multi-task!.. wonā€™t say what my other ā€œtaskā€ was!)
I hope the FP ā€¦well, neither of them let u down. let us know what u think.

Iā€™ve emailed Hangsen and asked them for EU vendor names (or other areas, sans the US) that specifically sell Hangsen flavorings. Many of the vendors they have listed as ā€œpartnersā€ on their website donā€™t seem to carry Hangsen; looked through a few but came up with nothing. :poop:

Thanks Jim, I found some here; http://www.cig-eliquid.co.uk
This one seems to carry more flavours than others I looked at. Some have only 6 flavours and none of them I want :disappointed: Funny though that this vendor is not listed with them as a partner, since they have a wider variety of Hangsen flavours.

Iā€™ve done a taste test with the INW French Pipe and the JF French Pipe and they are two distinctly different flavours. Also the INW is colourless and the JF has a light brown colour to it. The JF has a more distinct tobacco taste than the INW, if I had to describe it I would say it is more of a lighter version of the INW Dark for Pipe. It has a cigar taste to it that the INW has not. I expected them to be basically the same and must say that Iā€™m pleasantly surprised that theyā€™re not. I have some more flavours from JF coming my way and some of them I already have the INW version of so Iā€™m really curious about the differences with those flavours.

Just tried the Hangsen FP last nightā€¦ I know this is the wrong thread, but stillā€¦

My thoughts:

Hard to pin down, but the tobacco is very flavorful and has a slightly fermented fruit quality about it; perhaps a bit of a bitter nut and chocolate notes; slight ash on the exhale. Quite tasty.

Havenā€™t tried the SC version yet but, itā€™ll probably taste like the JF version! :wink:

Arenā€™t all these SC flavours the same, no matter who sells them?

This is my thinking; still need to do some comparison between ECX and BCV/VT house brand SC flavors, but yeah, Iā€™m getting the feeling they are all from the same China vendor. :thinking:

Thank God for that, otherwise I would have to buy them all :grinning:

Yes, I thought youā€™d find it different ā€¦but was I nuts to think it had cedar notes?
I must say, while it has turned out to be a tasty drop, any cedar I may have initially perceived is now non-existant ā€¦in the mixes Ive made so far any how. The search continues. That said, Iā€™ll keep working with the %ages ā€¦who knows.
Jose, dont know if youve ordered this one, but a very pleasant surprise is the JF black fire. Heaps of rave reviews on the site, so I bought it & mixed up 10ml @ 5%. Tested it over a week & couldnt understand the raves - meh. put it away for a month & wow, now I understand! So Ive just mixed up 30ml @ 5% & added 3% cubano - I reckon thisā€™ll be a very tasy cigar!

I donā€™t know if you are nuts but I donā€™t taste any cedar, I didnā€™t taste it right away though, I let it steep first and I do taste cigar/pipe :grinning: The INW is sweeter than this version[quote=ā€œvonTrueso, post:152, topic:25572ā€]

[/quote]I just ordered that last week, it will take a while before it gets here. So then I will have to wait another month :disappointed:

[/quote]That is probably the way to go. Iā€™ve seen a lot of this going on with fruit flavours like peach and strawberry, people using two or three different ones to get the desired effect that they donā€™t get from a single flavour. Iā€™m on a single flavour tobacco binge right now to get to know all these flavours a lot better before mixing them with something else. I should have done that before, they are very enjoyable by themselves.

I didnt let it steep ā€¦or breathe first - got tricked by the alchohol i reckon

[/quote]Iā€™m sure youā€™ll find it well worth the wait - I found it to be very tasty as a single flavor after a month. Mind you, it might not take that long - after my initial ā€œmehā€, I kinda just put it away and forgot about it.

Iā€™m going down the same road at the moment; maybe adding a bit (.5 to 1%) of DNB or TA to the core tobacco, but most of the Hangsen and SC tobaccos are quite tasty by themselves without anything else to muddy the waters. :wink:

Yah, Iā€™m really enjoying the experience, there is a lot of nuances in these tobacco flavours that are kinda lost in a mix. Although Iā€™m enjoying a tank full of Fidelā€™s Private Stock at this moment, made a batch last month and added 1.5% Cohiba to it. :yum:

Now that I have some better cigar flavors than the TFA Cubano, Iā€™m gonna rework that recipe.:triumph:

Iā€™m looking forward to that. I already made that batch before I got these new flavours and added the Cohiba as an afterthought.

You have a very good store down under. I received an order and one of the bottles had leaked quite a bit so I emailed them. Had a very quick reply offering a new bottle, or store credit including shipping, or a refund through Paypal. The best answer Iā€™ve ever got about leaking issues. Usually sorry we will improve our bottles is all I got.
Needless to say I went with the store credit since they have a very good collection of flavours and this wasnā€™t my last order :grinning:

Yeah, theres 3 places I get my stuff from over here - JF, vapoureyes.com.au & vapeking.com.au, & each of them offer exceptional service - Iā€™ve never had to return anything, but if I place an order before noon, its w/out exception, in my letter box next morning, assuming Ive payed the little extra for express postage (fortunately weā€™ve got good post over here too), but one of these places (VE) includes express if the orderā€™s over $50.
Aint a little competition a wonderful thing?
Sorry to hear about your leak, but Iā€™m very pleased they got onto it, & youā€™ve had a good experience.
