How To Eliminate the Chemical/Floral Notes in the Mix

Yeah, I just registered with TFA to get the bulk pricing

Anyway, I mixed up a new flavor on New Year's Eve. Toasty tobacco. I don't normally do tobaccos, but I'd ordered 555/Double RY4/Black Honey tobacco just to give them a try (I wanted to try a Tribeca clone).

Mix, shake, let sit. Broke out the Toasty this afternoon, (made it with the 555) and it still has almost a floral note (yes, only 3 days "steeping", but I wanted to give it a whirl.) The recipe called for tobacco, Toasted Almond and Toasted Marshmallow. I get a little of the toasted almond, no marshmallow and the "floral" note (which is kinda why I haven't vaped many tobacco-flavored juices)

Any thoughts on what I could do to tone down the floral note?

Floral/Chemical notes do exist in some flavors, or can occur at higher percentages in some flavors. To eliminate those notes, don't wait to see if they dissipate, the chemical/floral note is an indication of an incomplete mix, not a lack of steeping. Here are some suggestions:

1. Reducing the percentage flavoring of the primary can often times eliminate the floral/chemical note, or
2. Add 2% strawberry, or 2% raspberry to the mix. At these low percentages, they will not be significant, if they can be tasted at all, and they will help "neutralize" the offending chemical/floral notes. Primary flavoring at 7%+ will overwhelm these fruits at 2%. Give it a shot.
3. Adding a good balance of creams, sweeteners and vanilla, even to tobaccos will not overwhelm the mix, if mixed at under 6% (each), and will supercharge and enhance the primaries. In so doing, they will also eliminate the chemical/floral notes in most cases. Many juices, including tobaccos, DO have creams and vanillas at low percentages. They round, smooth, and enhance the mix very effectively, and in small percentages are not significant, often not detectable. In most cases, the creams/vanillas/sweeteners will be the missing ingredient that we often cannot put our finger on.

Good luck!
