Flavor West Tobacco's

**Shilo** · 12-20-2011, 07:38 AM

First I want to say that Flavor West is weak but in a good way-- at least for me. There is no perfumey, grassy or cigarish notes as noted in some other lines tobacco's. That being said, here is is my impression of some of their tobaccos used at up to 20 percent with a small sweet note added by me and on occasion a nutty note added by me.

Cherry Balsam Tobacco- Heavy on maraschino cherry lighter on the tobacco note. Had to add Vape Wizard and Bitter Wizard to smooth it out then added sweetener. Its ok but I prefer a more authentic cherry note.

Honey Wood Tobacco-The one and only flavor by Flavor West so far that had me run out of the room screaming by its smell alone. Imagine walking into a room with 1000 honeysuckles- if this is your thing you will love it. To me it smelled just awful- so floral I was gagging.

Chocolate Tobacco- The chocolate part fails for me as it tastes like burnt to bitter dark chocolate very waxy/chemically tasting and takes over any tobacco note. The smell is pleasant enough and with the addition of other elements including The Vape Wizard and some caramel it still worked for me.

Vanilla Tobacco- This is the only FW for me that had a decent tobacco/vanilla ratio-- very good as a base and needed the least tweaking.

I agree, the Honey Wood has an awful aroma.

If you like a Tobacco the is sweet try the Virginia Fire Cured. For me most tobacco flavorings "need" something, this flavor is a great stand alone.

I said the same thing about the honey wood tobacco it smells just like falling into a honeysuckle vine and fighting for a way out but I am going to try diluting it with some pg and add a little lemon to it as well and see how it ends up

I found this one

Honey Tobacco by JD1

Flavor West Honey Wood Tobacco 7 drops

Flavor Apprentice Tobacco Blend 10 drops

Flavor Art VapeWizard 3 drops

base (50/50 @ 12mg in my case) 5 ml

Nice and light, hint of sweetness - not over sweet at all, good grassy or hay after taste.

Per JD1 "This mix is for a flavor only, and should be mixed down a lot more before vaping."
