DIYFS Holy Vanilla, Holy Holy Grail RY4, and Gooey Butter Cake going to V2!
submitted over 6 years ago by LianazVapin

Okay I just got off the phone with Joey at DIYFS, and it's some sad news. One of the manufacturers for his ingredients in Holy Holy Grail RY4, Holy Vanilla, and Gooey Butter Cake, is discontinuing one of the ingredients. He has a lot left tho, and said he would put V1 back up on the web, and asked me to blast to buy as much as you can now. It will go to V2 when he runs out. I feel so bad for him. Wanted everyone to know. These updates and preliminary SFTs are on Facebook in every DIY group I belong to. These are off the shake tests without steep.

UPDATE: SFT done with 10% flavor in max VG, tested on Recurve single coil of Ni80 Fused Clapton & Cotton Bacon: Holy Vanilla V2 tastes good, mellow, no off notes, but lacks the cake-was in my mouth-like goodness of V1 and the depth of aroma. V2 is ever so slightly sweeter, smooth, and imo will work just fine, so ALL IS NOT LOST. Joey at DIYFS, is not going to discuss that with anyone outside of his business. I need other testers and opinions, please? It is worth testing and still a good smooth vanilla.

SFTs on Holy Holy Grail RY4 V1 & V2, tested at 8% in max VG: So the verdict is I actually prefer the V2 over the V1. The V2 is not as overbearingly sweet as the V1, I can taste more tabacco, smoother, and no off notes. I do not have any previous experience with tobacco flavors, but I would mix with this, especially for friends looking to quit smoking cancer sticks. I hope this helps all the mixers out there and I look forward to reading up on your single flavor tests. 😎 (I AM NOT SPONSORED, PAID, OR IN ANYWAY INFLUENCED BY DIYFS IN THIS TEST, BUT THE SAMPLE WAS PROVIDED FOR FREE.)

At least they're being transparent about it. Unlike other companies. Cough Inawera cough.

Yeah, this is the right way to do it for sure. But still so, so sad.

I have 8oz of each and just ordered another 8oz of both. Can't live without them.

Never mind. Looks like the old product is still gone, but a new one (labeled #HV01) is up instead.

I can't answer that question yet. Not enough tests done. Maybe someone else can help?

Thank you so much for posting this! I’ve wanted to try both for a long time but have been too cheap. Finally got me to pull the trigger on 2oz each

I'm assuming he's already got the V2 of each prepped and tested - do you know how it tastes comparatively? better? worse? more ___ ? less ____ ?

Yes, look on FB at DIY groups. I have both V2s. Tested both as soon as I got them. Results are up so far. I haven't had time to post them here yet... i will go copy and post.

Anyone on the fence about the v2's looks like you're going to get to try it anyway if you order the originals. They sent a 30ml of each as a "free gift".

They didn't send me any of the v2 :(

I ordered Holy Vanilla and gooey (didn't get any hhry4 since i just got a large bottle of that a couple months ago) and they sent me a 30mL of..... banana blueballs (wtf?)

That is awesome, ordered 2oz of each Holy along with Mr. Good Stuff and Cookie that I have heard good things about. Hoping they include samples of the V2 in my order as well, should be here tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up OP

Cookie is really good! Even on SFT, it tasted a lot like my mom's chocolate chip cookies.

Cool, what percentage as a single flavor? I got my shipment and they included both V2 Holy's as well in 30ml, just need to carve out some time to mix this weekend

Chefs, IIRC. I think that's where i mistakenly ordered from. Still need to dispose of that bottle of ry4.... Four oz of wasted money...

So, the new RY4 actually tastes like a tobacco, now? Is it also vanilla-free? Because that would be perfect.

1 points
 
by LianazVapinover 6 years ago

No it still has vanilla, and I tasted a little bit more tobacco. I am waiting on steep to try them all again.
