Cowboy is similar to the Mboro blends, and Latakia, well, I'm waiting on it to come

Haha I hit the sale too--got myself a Christmas present!! It is scheduled for delivery today but I had to work so I can't pick it up until tomorrow.

Whew, smonomo, I have definitely not had enough coffee yet today to attempt to figure out the math on that. Pre-mixing a batch of flavouring to dilute it is a great idea for doing small test batches!

Mixing straight flavouring I use about the same amount as Generic, 1 drop per 3-4 ml.

My fiance like a touch of Virginia added into fruity type flavours and Burley mixed with coffee.

I don't think you guys are following me.. The way it is at the moment 1 drop to 100 drops (or 1%) for me = 4ml, that's fine, but if I want to make it a bit stronger adding one more drop will put me way over the top.

Therefore I will make a 4ml premix consisting of PG and 4 drops of the Flavourart tobacco, now 4 drops of this premix will equal 1 drop of the undiluted Flavourart tobacco, and 1 drop will equal 1/4 drop of the undiluted.

I'll now be using this bottle of mix to make recipes, and the Flavourart bottle will go back on the shelf until needed.

If I want to have finer control, I can make a premix using 2 drops instead of 4, thus enabling me to work with increments of 1/8 drop undiluted.
The math is too easy that's why it's easy to miss it, plus I'm lousy at explaining it

If you mix 10 drops of tobacco flavour to 40 drops of PG, you can then use 4 drops of that mix instead of 1 drop of the neat stuff? If you use 5 drops of the mix, that is the equiv of 1.25 drops of neat. That is how I do it, finer control of these strong flavours is good

The Latakia has a smokey note to it. Very nice and somewhat bold.

The Cowboy is very Malrboroish. Not like the actual cigarette but like the typical Marlboro juice. I like it.

I've been having fun experimenting with their flavors, trying blends, hi vs. low strngth. The price is right so you can play around and not feel like you're throwing money away. I've been mixing up 3ml test batches.

We have setup a site to do the math on these recipes at smokejuicerecipes.com. There is a batch calculator on the supplies page. Try it - it works and allows you to find the exact recipe you like with the ability to save it or scale it up or down in volume - units are in ml, drops and percent of volume.

I use one drop of FlavourArt tobacco flavors (from the Happy Vaper bottles) for every 6 ml of e-liquid. I like to add menthol drops to the Virginia.
