Superb combination. Found it by mistake.
Honey Do. Then just add a few drops of the new Champagne Cigar extract.
The honey do is mild and the cigar taste comes thru. What a taste.
In fact Honey Do usa / Honey Do Indian / RY4 strong / RY4 usa all make for good base flavors onto which you can add more tobacco notes.
If I had to pick the 3 top Bases. They would be
1. Honey Do USA
2. RY4
3. RY4 Strong.

Since i have both honey do and the champagne cigar, i am going to try this today. Btw, I have tried a lot of flavors and it seems that i have a liking towards the tobacco flavors (i might have tried almost all) and seem to like the following so far

- Honey do
- 1920
- Indian tobacco
- Tobacco C1
- RY4 strong

I also have all the flavor shots and my favourites are
- Absolute
- Something Missing
- Mysore Leaf

I like to add the tobacco liquids and it turns out even better. Without the flavor shot as well the liquids are great. Also, I find that Ron's liquids burn slower. They last 20% more than others and give out a lot more vapor and feels more rounded and satisfying

When somebody tries the BV E-juice. The first thing they do is pack up all their existing flavors and send them to me.
With a note which says thanks to you we dont have to smoke this shit.

I have asked for this as it helps me keep an eye on what the competition is doing.
One thing is for sure. These guys making the Juices are not testing them before sending them out.

I normally test the liquids in my Mini Pro Tank 2 with a new wick.
Today I am Testing LiQua 18 Mg Nic. Flavor Name: Bright Tobacco.

I started out vaping at 15 watts. Which is what I vape at normally. I got a burnt taste.
For some reason the juice is very sensitive to watts i.e. as you change the watts the taste changes.
And the change is quite drastic. I do not notice this with the BV juices.
Next smoke production is poor. Id saw below average. If I had to take a guess Id say it was at least 60% PG. And that is being generous. More like 100%. But the label does says contains PG & VG.

I filled 1.5 ML into the Pro Tank. And half way thru my face has allready broken out into a rash. Its there under the eye. Un my upper lip and corners of my mouth.

The taste is a little bit like my Turkish. But on the exhale it tastes like Im trying to smoke a perfume. Maybe its not cured. Then again this bottle was made in July. So it should have cured by now.

I have some sealed never opened Hangseng bottles in this pile. Not sure what to do with it.

Its possible that I can never enjoy any other makers juice. So those who want to prove me wrong and try this ask for it next time your over.

Is it better than Hangseng ?. No I think Hangseng make better juice.
I can still enjoy some Hangseng Flavors. But this stuff no.

Im going to throw out whats left and try some Hangseng Malbaro. And then maybe some Hangseng Reb Bull since Ive never tried these two. Lets see if my memory of Hangseng being better is right or wrong.

Back when I started out I used to be hooked to Hangseng Water Mellon and Hangseng Indian Tobacco.

Ps: There is something like a scratch on the back of my throat. I guess this is what they call Throat Hit.
I really hate the feeling.

The next Liquid Im testing is something which is just called V2 Golden Virgina 12 Mg.

The good news my dislike for others juices is not a psychological problem.
This one is actually not repulsive tasting.
The flavor is very very mild. Which is probably why Im not gagging on it.

But after 2 hits I can feel my chest get really tight. And my heart pain.
This only happens with very strong Nic. So Im going to put it down for now.
And smoke it after some time.
One thing I am 101% sure and that is what Nic is written on the label seems to have no connection with the nicotine present in the liquid.
Why I have no idea. It could be the quality of the Nic. It could be age. One thing is critical you should stabalize your nic input. If you smoke company X at 10 MG stick to that. Dont jump between companies At least within the same company 16 Mg will be less than 24 Mg. So you have some idea.

My personal View is that if the Nic is pure and your smoking on a decent tank. Leave the Carto Jokes out of the picture. Then you dont need more than 10 Mg Nic.
Anyway this V2 is not half bad.
Smoke level low to med. Typical of a high PG juice. Flavor does not gag you. Nice and mild.
I couldn't smoke a complete tank. But its the first time at least I know I dont have a psychological problem in not liking others flavors.

Wow what a night. I had to walk off the nicotine buzz it hit so hard.
Thought I was going to have a heart attack.

Today morning I decided to taste the Hangseng Malbaro.
My memory served me right. The hangseng flavors are in deed pretty decent. For sure better than the Liqua and V2.
Smoke production is weak when compared to high VG juices. But taste is there for sure.
Nicotine is there for sure too. You can feel it burn holes into your nostrils. On the exhale.
I cant chain vape this. Its just too strong. If I where to chain vape this. Id feel like I was hit by a train by the evening.
So just tasted it to get an idea on the taste. And going back to my Baba's Bottle. With Velvet smooth clouds and sexy feeling.

I have to give it to Hangseng they do make some tasty juices.

Today I tried Red Bull. From hangseng. Please tell me somebody like this flavor cause I have over 100 ML off it.

Nic is fine.
Smoke is your typical PG type.
Taste ?. It tastes just like your smoking an Agrabathi / Incense stick.
Im sure somebody out there must like it. Please buy will give it dirt cheap.

2 days of smoking all these juices and Im starting to feel like a train wreck.
I now understand why the Health Minister says e-cig is worse than the real thing.
Because you can smoke the real thing and still not feel so fucked over.

I dont know how others are able to smoke this. Or how e-cig has been arround for so long and people have no problems using these juices. My only take is that these juices where designed for Carto. With its tiny bat and tiny coil.

These juices where never intended to be smoked on fully blown Tanks and mech mods.
At best you should use a Carto.

My face rash got so bad I had to shave and start applying a cream.
Looks like this is the last time Im going to smoke anything from outside.

That red bull just tastes nasty. I dont know how anybody can smoke it.

Thanks to AM for pointing out that CG1 has finally steeped and seteled down.
It a nice and salty. Getting high VG juice to taste salty is a huge huge challange.
And no im not talking about adding salt water or salien solution. That thins down the juice.

Anyway CG1 is nice and salty. If you like salt you will like this one.
It also serves as a nic base to work off. You can add bitter or sweet on top of this.
Both work well.
RIght now I have added Tobacco Supreme which is bitter and I like it.
Next I will try adding RY4 strong.

My review of Coffee chocolate
This and a few more reviews have been due for a while..
I'm not much of a chocolate fan.... and coffee, atleast imo, doesnt have a good taste..
having said that, BV cofee+chocolate is a good flavor... the aroma it seems to give out is really nice.. most people prefer this smell over many other flavors(feedback from classmates ;) )
To me it tastes surprisingly similar to kopiko, the toffee,maybe a bit sweeter, which is no bad thing...
The Flavor is good. i sometimes use it after vaping some sweet tasting juices to clense my pallette, and when i have company, who have sensitive noses.
Have rarely been smoking other stuff since i started BV flavors cause-
the PG doesnt seem to agree with me,
The price, when compared to other indian sellers is good
The quality is high
The flavors are quite good
Being VG biased, like most BV juices, the vapor production is much much better than hangsen and dekang stuff.
the throat hit is minimal, something i prefer...
High throat hit, when vaping for long durations, atleast for me is tiring, causing a dry throat..

I tried my first BV flavor - Western Tobacco with Mysore Leaf. First impression has been that it is a very neutral flavor with a gentle whiff of tobacco every few vapes. Ideal flavor for someone who is making a transition from smoking to vaping for the first time. Close enough to smoking. This is also my first experience vaping what seems like a higher VG %age juice (going by consistency of the liquid). Quite enjoyed the experience.

I received my first ever vaporizzer from babavapes. A close friend of mine suggested this site and BV.

The package arrived yesterday evening (2-3 days shipping). I stay in Mumbai. Thanks for the fast delivery! Please keep it up!! And special thanks for sending free samples (keep 'em coming). :)

The build quality of the device is quite sturdy, weighty to handle, which is a good thing by the way.

The flavors, the fragrance, the taste of the e-liquids is quite intoxicating. I loved it! The viscosity of the juice is what makes the whole magic of vaping. I also like the
throat-hit of the 6 mg nic. It's quite the perfect amount.

Just began vaping, so there are a lot of things to experience and learn.

If this GOOD quality of the goods and the services continue, I'm going to be a long time customer of BV.

Real men vape tobacco!

And being a proud chauvinist, I have only ever vaped tobacco flavours. Having been in love with BV's Tobacco Western/Mysore leaf blend for months (Indian Tobacco before that), I was finally forced to try some new flavours:

In the order of my fondness: (P.S: Taste is very subjective, this is just my opinion.)

1. Western/Mysore leaf with three drops of Turkish Tobacco and Honey Wood each in a 3ml tank.
Oh! How I love this flavour! You know how a smoke feels after getting laid? That how this flavour feels to me after a long tiring day. I am starting to go red in the face from pulling on it all the time.

2. 3ml Prize Fighter with 0.5ml Tobacco Supreme.
Strong earthy flavour of the tobacco in the Prize Fighter lifted with the slightly sweetish notes of the Tobacco Supreme. Feels similar to the lovely Camel Blues I used to smoke in Australia.

3. Tobacco Supreme with Swiss Chocolate (Blended by Ron)
Though I still don't like the flavours individually. Together they actually work well. The seemingly bitter flavour of the Swiss Chocolate is nicely contrasted by the sweetish flavour of the Tobacco Supreme. My morning vape with a good cup of coffee.

Tobacco Supreme and Tobacco CG1 are real dark horses.
I know there is something very rare and special in them. But getting them to work is proving very hard.
Tobacco Supreme is 25% Tobacco Absolute. And 4 types of Absolute are used.
Early mixes at 10% just made it way to strong. Diluted down to 1% its still strong. Which is why most people are mixing it at a few drops tops.
But there is something very special about them.
