Default My Virginia from Seedman's Flavor Enhancer

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"

I have used it to enhance the flavor of commercial Virginia nic juice after cutting it from 36mg to 24mg using VG by adding 10% of the flavoring. It is almost a perfect match to the uncut liquid.

I then decided to see if I could produce the Virginia nic liquid using unflavored nic juice. What I came up with to me tastes better than the original. Here is the recipe:

12 ml 36mg unflavored nic juice
4 ml VG
3 ml virginia flavor
1 ml Everclear PGA 90%

This is my first scratch recipe so I may vary it over time. I know some adjustments are needed as it tastes slightly better at 5 volts. But as your tastes may vary this may only be a starting place for you.

I think I am going to buy some of the honey sold at seedmans that Dan likes. This may add to the flavor in a positive way. Try it and see what you think.

The Honey Tobacco Flavor from Seedman is very good. I mix it a little bit stronger than Dan. It has just a touch of honey sweetness.

I'll have to try it. I've been vape testing too much, they all seem to taste the same now.

It's hard to taste test this stuff.

Here:
Tob. Absolute
Tobacco Absolute

Ethyl Maltol
Ethyl Maltol - 2.5 ml vial

The EM helps to mellow and blend the TA.
Hope this helps
Dan

Dan,

I'm not clear on the tobacco absolute - Are you making a mix of 2 drops of tobacco absolute to 10ml of everclear and then adding 2 drops of that mix to the recipe?

That is correct, I also add 1/4 of a teaspoon of the Ethyl Maltol to the 2 drops of TA and everclear in the 10ml bottle.

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