Little discount from Chefs if it’s any good for anyone. Gone for a couple of the tobaccos M & P Praze, Haze and a coconut and rum one I liked the sound of.

Has anyone attempted to make an ry4 from scratch? I mean mix tobaccos, caramels and vanillas to get something vapable. I want to have a go with tfa western as my tobaccio base but feel it is a stupidly hard profile to get right. Forget about complex layered bakeries, tobaccos etc, I believe a PROPER RY4 is as hard to make as a soufle, mainly because I believe the difference between a divine juice and shit is very small.

I’ve done this before. It was more than a year ago, so don’t recall the precise ratios but I was quite pleased with the result. I really liked FA ry4 but found it had almost no tobacco aroma. I experimented with adding tobacco to it, but also with blending one myself.

It contained FA caramel, a wee bit of vienna cream, latakia, bourbon vanilla, wee touch of anise; atoms labs agrinio, black vanilla.

The anise was just a gratuitous addition.

This is the best RY4 I've ever tried, with the added tobacco to give it a boost. Only issue is DIYFS have reformulated their RY4 recently. I know Chef's carry it but you'd have to message if their stock is still the old stuff.

I think I might experiment again with adding more tobacco to the FA ry4.

I might have to try mixing that up, never thought of adding apple to it.

Although good on its own, I felt cardinal for me needed something else.....non desserty, got the double apple in specifically for it....and boom at 5% its spot on.

How long did you leave it for? The steeping is weird on cardinal with the little dance the tobaccos do. Great for a few days, none existent and then back again after about two weeks

Ah yes the venerable Cardinal. I've looked at this recipe many times but never made it because I never bought any FLV flavours. I do have a bottle of the old stock DIYFS RY4 with I am guessing 6-7ml left thoug, and INW Kent and Burley.

My last attempt with DIYFS RY4 was to mix it at 3% with 1% TPA western, and it ended up pretty bad, the western overpowered it completely and I ended up with the TPA western flavour (which I actually like even on its own) and some messy sweetness in the exhale. The combination was sinkworthy.
