Hangsen DIY Mixing Kit
Hangsen DIY Mixing Kit
Published by prof beard

Default Hangsen DIY Mixing Kit

Hot on the heels of Scott's (igetcha69) review of this is my take on the same offering...

Overall I like the concept as it is a simple way for newer vapers to try out different strengths and also different balances of PG/VG

Anyway, it comes in a box:



with appropriate labeling:



which contains:



  • two empty 5ml bottles - as you can see I've been using one of them!
  • a 20ml bottle of 0mg VG
  • a 20ml bottle of 36mg PG
  • a 10ml bottle of flavouring (0mg) - in this case "HS 1"


I noted Scott got a syringe in his sample - I didn't - but he didn't use it - neither did I

The bottles give very nice small drops and can actually be used quite precisely...

I went for making up 24mg liquid - two thirds PG, one third VG and flavour...

Therein hangs a tale - Scott is obvious a "subtle taste" man - I found I needed to use LOTS more flavouring relative to VG - I even made some up which was two thirds PG and one third flavouring! (Which was great)

HS 1

HS 1 is, I'm told "one of our new tobacco favours". Neat in the bottle it has a smell close to that "ashtray" tobacco smell some people covet.

Mixed 2 parts PG to 1 part flavour, it produces a really nice strong tobacco flavour with almost no sweetness and a really tobacco aftertaste - the vapour even smells cig-like (albeit more "toasted" cig tobacco than UK style air-dried). Mixes with less flavouring/more VG are similar but without the same ashtray-ness.

I found that shaking the mix up before use wasn't enough - like that there was a certain "fruitiness" present - but left to stand overnight AND as the bottle emptied and the air got at the mix it gets better and better...

For information - great minds clearly think alike - like Scott, I tested this using my Apex Alpha Ultra with RES

If Hangsen are going to make more tobacco flavourings in this family, there will be a lot of very happy people out there!

(Also like Scott, I got an earlier version of this kit for feedback - again with super strength flavouring, except my was menthol - it certainly cleared the nasal passages!!! Nuff said)

Thanks Prof.
This would certainly come in handy for those who wish to try their hand at it without buying bulk.
Being a DIYer myself, I can see how this would allow users to experiment with some variations such as strength of nicotine, flavor and vapor production, but with only one flavor, leaves the user rather limited in that respect. Without knowing the cost of these kits, and I would assume it is reasonable. Still, it would give the first time DIYer a chance to see if this is a method to their liking.
