Comments on the packaging
We can decently affirm that the RY4, in the vape, is an institution, a taste category in itself. This gourmet tobacco was in fact the first complex e-liquid to be invented and put on the market by the Chinese brand Dekang a good dozen years ago. At a time when the goal was to get as close as possible to the flavor of a cigarette, the RY4 opened the door to a different interpretation of the taste in vaping.
Since then, the initial recipe has been copied a thousand times, sometimes improved and has inspired numerous creators to innovate by mixing new flavors. It is therefore not surprising to find the Classic RY4 in the range of Taffe-elec liquids that we are currently analyzing. A logical choice even if potentially tricky in its implementation. It is indeed difficult to follow in the footsteps of a legend.
The Classic RY4 is available, like the other stars of the collection, in two formats.
The first offers us a 70 ml bottle filled with 50 ml of overdosed aroma, making it easy to add one or two boosters depending on whether you want to vape with 3 or 6 mg/ml of nicotine. Its tilting dropper also makes handling very easy. Its price is €9.90, an extremely friendly price for the consumer since it represents half the normal price for such a capacity. It is assembled on a PG/VG ratio of 50/50, perfectly adapted to all materials and very balanced between the sensations created by the volume of vapor and aromatic precision.
The second available format gives us 10 ml of liquid for €3.90! Here again, the price stands out from the competition and makes the product completely compatible with the period of inflation we are experiencing. In this case, it offers several nicotine levels: 0, 3, 6 and 11 mg/ml which will concern a very large majority of vapers. The PG/VG ratio is identical to the large format, thus accentuating the readability of the range.
In both cases, in addition to an advantageous price, you will benefit from a very fine dropper, perfect for filling all existing tanks. All you had to do was think about it and it’s not the many pod users who will complain about it!
All that remains is to check if this liquid has retained the scent of the legend.

Comments on the security, legal, health and religious aspects
As usual, the manufacturer offers us a perfect score in the area of security and legality. All the imposed figures are present at the call and the free figures flourish in order to correctly inform the vaper.
When it comes to transparency, we are at a high level since the brand warns of the presence of alcohol in the composition, nothing too serious or abnormal. Many e-liquids contain it but without saying so.

Comments on the packaging
Always this very inspired packaging which gives a reassuring character to the range. Here we are on a pastel beige background and the different components of the aroma seem to fall from the sky. A naive but elegant aesthetic that fits perfectly with the no-brainer spirit of the range while maintaining a natural elegance that pleases the eye.

Vapelier's note on the sensory experience: 5/5
Comments on the taste of the juice
The Classic RY4 equally balances the tobacco part and the more gourmet part.
The tobacco is a fairly typical blond, very sunny Virginia, which offers a taste that is both harsh and sweet. Enough to find the typical flavor of Nicot grass for amateurs.
It is therefore here that the miracle operates since we find the vanilla and caramel expected in this archetype. The vanilla remains soft and sweet, rather gourmand than floral. The caramel is the same water and together, the two flavors create a layer of deliciousness around the tobacco.
The recipe honors its illustrious models and is distinguished by an aromatic precision that is ultimately quite rare for an RY4 and sensations of pleasure with each puff. Enough to regret the absence of sales by the liter!!!
The great tradition is respected and it is a high quality gourmet tobacco that Taffe-elec offers us. Round, delicate, very aromatic, a success!

My mood ticket on this juice
At the same time faithful to its illustrious predecessors and sufficiently current to seduce all vapers, including experienced ones, the Classic RY4 impresses with its perfect balance between tobacco and indulgence. It is the very example of what we expect from this type of liquid.
Cheap, very good and compatible with all equipment, all it needed was a Top Vapelier to shine even more. It’s done, and done well!
