What to use to 'smooth' out your tobacco recipes?

[NicotineRush]

I've been experimenting with HS Virginia extracts. So far, they seem pretty decent and are close to what I'm looking for although they seem a bit 'dry'. (harsh?) Also, they could maybe use a tiny bit more sweetness.

Here's an example:

10ml
6mg nic
30/70
3% HS Flue Cured Virginia
5% H20 (.10g)
The 3% HS seems about right for flavor. Tried 1-4% and I liked the 3% best.

I do have other brands Virginia's to try, (INW, FA, and SC), but ran out of bottles. Maybe one of these will be less dry/harsh?

I've read about TFA's 'SMOOTH' and will give it a try. Any other ideas?
Thanks

You can add a little Ethyl Maltol (EM) at .5% to smooth and add sweetness. It's also used as the flavor Cotton Candy in larger concentrations. In smaller amounts it knocks the edge off sharp flavors and smooths out the vape.

TFA Smooth should do the trick, also.

Here's a thread about TFA Smooth and MTS vape Wizard
FA MTS Vape Wizard and TFA Smooth - Your experiences with it?

I read a remark somewhere that Inawera Creme Brulee was a nice addition for smoothing flavors, similar to how one would use TFA smooth. (But if not, it's still great just as a stand alone flavor -- one of my favorites!)

I love Creme Brulee! Dang, something else to buy! Refrigerator is filling up with DIY stuff!

FA MTS Vape Wizard 0.3% (to start) w/ tobacco's can dull flavors, use sparingly. --1-2% max.Produces more vapor & softening any acidic/sour
Just about any cream/custard takes Edge off Harsh flavor w/ adding huge amt. Flavor. Vanilla brings out the flavor of just about any "Brown" mix.

I use MTS in a couple of recipes. (1 drop per 10mls). The real thing with tob recipes is that very few are true SNV. You may be able to tolerate it but they just take time to develop. Most take a week to smooth out and some a month or more.

I used to add a small amount (.5-1%) of FA Apricot to my HS Virginia. I do NET's now but still add a drop or 2 (once in a while) into a tank to change things up a bit.

Honey flavor. It’s not a solution for everyone though

A drop or two of FA Marshmallow smooths my tobaccos and adds some light mosture to it also.
