For those that like a sweet dark tobacco that is not over powering, try out Flavor West's Virginia Fire Cured. I use it at 13% and find it vapes great by itself or with a touch of Blackberry by TFA.
Okay, I finally feel confident enough to post my new tobacco creation. I have worked on this since day one of my DIY venture and believe me when I tell you that 4 out of every five batches I made ended up down the drain. This was hours of toil, taste, spit, tweek, taste, spit some more, dump and start over. lol The new bottle of tobacco extract breathed life into this recipe. None of the FA tobaccos would work.
First I started out diluting about 8 drops of TE in 5 ml of PG. I shook the crap out of it and still have some floaties but oh well, it still tastes good and vapes good. Here goes...
10 ml 60% PG 40% VG 18 mg. nic
I plugged those numbers into the calculator and set it up for 10% flavoring. Using a pipette that measures out 21 drops per ml, this is how I did it.
Mix the unflavored base and add 8 drops of tobacco extract diluted as stated above.
Add 20 drops of TPA Juicy Fruit
2 drops of FA Apple
1 drop of FA Oakwood
You will notice that there is more than 10% flavoring when you add up the drops but I used the 10% to calculate the fruit flavoring and then just added the OW and tobacco on top of the 10%.
Shake well. This is vapable immediately but of course is much better the next day. This is hubby's all day, one and only vape. I finally made something he likes!!!
I hope you enjoy it!
so if im trying to make a ry4 or a dktab type vape...
i can just use TPA flavors vs buying that seedmans stuff?
I just discovered a mix thats pretty good. the dk helps to smooth out the grassiness in the camtel. works with other strong fa tobaccos too.
5% pa dk tobacco
2% fa camtel
1% fa nut mix
when people talk about tobacco absolute, do they mean the very thick black stuff in the vial, or do they mean the diluted version. I used the black thick stuff and diluted one or two drops on 10ml of vodka.. Is this what i use, or drip from black stuff
This is my first successful "all day vape" DIY toboacco recipe. I haven't named it yet as I'm still considering some tweaks. This is my 36th concoction.
Rec. Nicotine: 18mg/ml
Rec. PG/VG Ratio: 60/40
Rec. Flavoring: 15%
Steep: 12-18 hours min.

25% FA Dark Vapure
25% TFA Graham Cracker
15% Ethyl Maltol Solution*
10% FA Chocolate
5% LA Vanilla
5% CAP Hazelnut
5% TFA White Chocolate
5% FW Vanilla Custard
5% LA Caramel
+ Add 0.1cc PA Tobacco Absolute Solution** per 20ml total volume e-liquid

Mixing Notes:
1) I recommend mixing a 20ml batch because of the small amounts used. You can do it by drops, but I prefer to use a 1mm syringe.
2) Note that the TA solution was not included in the flavoring percentages because of the very small amount used. For a 20ml batch, add .1cc (~2 drops) of TA solution (see below).
3) After mixing, shake well and give a warm water bath. Warming up a coffee cup of water for about a minute, then placing the capped bottle in it works well. After warm water reaches room temperature, remove and shake again.
4) After removing from warm bath, steep overnight (12+ hours) uncapped. Shake well again before sampling.
* Ethyl Maltol Solution: 10-11% Ethyl Maltol crystals dissolved in PGA (190 proof Everclear). A premixed EM solution in PGA or PG, or any Cotton Candy flavoring should be a fine substitute.
** Tobacco Absolute Solution: 2 drops (0.1cc) 50% diluted TA [or 1 drop (0.05cc) Pure TA] per 1.5ml of PGA (190 proof Everclear).

Notes:
1) Mixture is better after twenty-four hours, but haven't had it long enough to know what it's like after 1-2 weeks.
2) Hazelnut may be slightly too strong, especially early on.
3) I'm also considering upping the chocolate ratio, or using CAP Double Chocolate as a substitute for FA Chocolate.
Curious to hear your thoughts & suggestions!
