My Virginia from Seedman's Flavor Enhancer

[Scubabatdan]

Sounds good Dan, thanks. When my Seedmans arrives I'll start working on an RY4 recipe.

I would try adding carmel and englsh toffee to the mix as a starter...

I have some Loranns caramel and english toffee, but to be honest I'm not crazy about it, seems like too much vanilla.

It might be just me, but I'm not detecting much of a caramel taste in RY4, more of just a sugary flavor among other things that I can't put my finger on.

I thought perhaps Ethyl maltol is used in RY4. I have some honey on order from Seedmans, and I think I'd better get some Loranns cotton candy and see where it all takes me.

I have been very successful at reproducing a good tasting Virginia. I ordered from seedmans.com the TOB500 Virginia Fire Cured Flavor Enhancer. The label on the bottle states:

"Contains Natural and Aromatic Flavorings, water, Propylene glycol USP (humectant/preservative), distilled water"...

Are you using:

TOB500A Pre-mixed 2 ounce bottle of flavoring in Plastic Misting/Spray Bottle

Thanks.

How does it compare to the Perfumers product you linked to? Concentrate sounds better than Pre-mixed misting/Spray Bottle.

Sounds very economical then as you listed using only 3ml in your recipe. Cool.

There is a very different taste. The Absolute at the perfumist site has a more earthy tone to it, where as the commercial tobacco from seadmans taste like more traditional processed ciggies. So I suppose it is up to your flavor. I personally use both in my blends, I use 1ml of seedmans commercial top note with 4 drops of the diluted absolute to 10ml of ejuice.
Hope this helps.

I think I messed up my order with seedmans.
I bought the flavor enhancers instead of the top note.
I mixed a bit of it, and it's vapeable...not great, but ok for a reserve stash.

I'm wondering what the difference is between the flavor enhancers and the top notes.
Can I use JUST the flavor enhancers mixed with vg/pg? Or should really be using the top note stuff?
