I bought RY4 instead of RY4 Double I read a few notes saying Ry4 is not a sub for RY4 Double/
Any opinions either way on this?

No I got FA for the RY4 the Double was TPA
They may smell similar, but they are pretty different. Potency-wise, the FA Ry4 at 2% is what Ry4 Double is around 4%. Ry4 Double is sweet, bready, carmellic with some Vanillin, but the FA version is more of a strong, sharp Caramel. I don’t really get Vanilla from the FA version as well. There are plenty of people that like the FA version, I personally found it a little to sharp for my taste though. It also lacks the dry, astringent flavor of Ry4 Double. While I do like Soho and Glory, FA Ry4 didn’t quite taste tobacco-like for me personally. The taste reminded me of those old, thick permanent markers that had that strong potent odor. You may like it, everyone’s tastes are different and there are plenty that enjoy that flavor, just start lower with it than the average percentages used for Ry4 Double, also if you want to try and make a similar profile, definitely add a vanilla and maybe a very light Caramel.

i cannot vape ry4d from tpa or ry4 fa as stand alone,i use them only in mixes with other tobaccos.i think that the main difference between these 2 ry’s is that the fa is darker,stronger,has less vanilla and it is more difficult to use it in mixes.tpa’s ry4d is more like a semi tobacco conc in my opinion.people use it successfully from tobacco recipes to apple pie recipes.you cannot do that with fa’s ry4.
Silhouette you are the first person i know,who likes glory:smile:personally i can’t stand it even in 0.3%!!
I would bump it down a little, at least until you get a sense of what it tastes like. Just cut 1% off, and go from there. I haven’t mixed the FA Ry4 with any fruit flavors, but it looks good.

Trust me, it’s not my first choice ha. It’s kind of in that bubble with 555 Gold, which I’m not crazy about, but I try to make work anyway. Peanut mixes, that’s kind of where it’s easy to use.

Hey Thanks Silhouette,
I will drop it down 1% So it looks promising huh? Do you think I should add like 0.5-1% of French Vanilla?
Thanks again!
Steve
For your first mix using the FA Ry4 I would keep with flavors you are really familiar with, flavors that you could individually pick out of a mix instantly, the French Vanilla would probably be great.
That’s exactly my plan Silhouette
Sooo… yeah I will go with the French Vanilla, and bump the RY4 down 1 %
Again I thank you Silhouette
P.S. I am mixing this tomorrow I’ll get back to you after a few days steep time and let you know either how good or how disgusting this recipe came out
Truly appreciate your help and take care

I know this is a old thread from 2018, but its based around my next question. Which would work better for this an RY4 or RY4 Double. I’m thinking of using an Ry4 or a caramel/vanilla based tobacco from Flavorah. I’m going after a pipe tobacco vape with a boozy Irish Cream top note. I want to try an RY4, vanilla tobacco, or FLV Mild Tobacco to compliment the Irish Cream.
Bourbon (Flavorah) 0.75
Cavendish (Flavorah) 0.25
Irish Cream (Flavorah) 3.75
Red Burley (Flavorah) 0.75
