I received a sample 10ml bottle of TFA tobacco Absolute from RTS Vapes (the place where I get my supplies from). It says it is a 100% oil extract diluted 90% (50% TA, 40%PG, and 10%EA). What I'm wondering is if it is ready to use as is (tiny amounts) or do I have to dilute it further. If it is the latter then how would I go about diluting it for use in e-liquid?

I wouldn't dilute it further as it sounds like it's already diluted , i would start sampling it on the extreme low end meaning a drop here and a drop there until you find your sweet spot for your mixes.
Here is a good thread about TA's. Tobacco Absolute - A Flavor All By Itself.
Since the TFA is already diluted 50%, you could further dilute it at half of what is call for with the Rustica or, mix it at the same ratio and just use more in you final mix.
I use the Rustica at 2% of the 10% mix (by itself or mixed with other tobacco flavors). You could use the TFA at 4% of a 10% mix or, 2% of a 20% mix. Or, whatever your taste buds like.
Let us know how it works out and how you like it.

That's a 50% dilution. Most dilute it to a 10% solution and use that starting at 1 - 3%. So in your case you can dilute it 1ml TA to 4ml PG and use that at 1 - 3% in your mix.
Thanks everyone...I'll try it out and see how it goes...another thing, how long to steep?
Danny is a TA connoisseur so you can't go wrong listening to him , all the others (except myself of course) give good info as well . My info should always be viewed with a great deal of skepticism as i'm usually not even remotely close to being accurate.
Good luck my friend
Yes you can but take note in above post regarding the accuracy of my opinions and judge accordingly .
@herb....I think you may be more well versed than I...I take all info and use it...thank you.
Steeping with most tobaccos is 3 - 5 weeks but always try it right after mixing and if it taste good to you vape away. It will only get better with age.
The point of TA is to give a mix a true tobacco taste so to answer your question "Could you also mix it with another tobacco?". The answer is yes and highly encouraged.
