Stand alone 3 here. Though I'm taking a little break from it. Got to where my taste for it had dimmed. Think I overvaped it for awhile.5% Dark for Pipe would destroy me

Ok there more than likely the same. I bought a bottle a year ago or so and it just says 7 leaves on the bottle.
Btw anyone here like the Cavendish? What percentage and did you add anything to it?
It's a cigarette like taste, slightly dry, but reminiscent of a Marlboro Red. I like it better than INW 555 Gold or HS No. 5, but it's in the same general class.

It's definitely a strong mix. I'll let it steep then play with the ratios if need be, but right now it's pretty damn good!

The bottles arrived yesterday evening, I'm the slowest part of trying new tobaccos since I have to smoke about a tankful of liquid. I've been thinking of the Turkish blend of tobacco that was always mention in the cig ads.
I have a very nice range of flavor with the tanks from a very strong to relaxing mellow flavor

Ditch the tanks and get a nice Rda if you don't like being stuck with a flavor for so long.
I'll never go back to tanks, personally. ...

I love it. 3% as a standalone works for me. I haven't tried mixing it with anything yet, but vanilla and butterscotch seem like obvious candidates.
I made up a few new ones (to me) from SC; Old Captain and French Pipe.
Old Captain is fantastic. Mixed at 3% and to me, I pick up a slightly smokey tobacco with a very nice sweet note; maybe chocolate, not sure but a good sweet, not sickening sweet. Really enjoying this one as a stand alone. By far one of the best I've tried from SC, and I have liked many from them so far.
French Pipe is not working well for me. At least fresh to a week old. Mixed at 3% (my sweet spot with SC flavors), I get a little of the pipe feel from it but as far as tobacco, it seems a little on the light side. There is another note but I can't quite put my finger on it. But that note leaves a slight after taste and I'm not a fan of that. Will let sit for a month or so and see how it comes along. I have had a few times with SC flavors where they changed after a month or so. That was my experience with Wenston and M-style; did not like them at first, put them away and forgot about them, tried after a month or so and really enjoyed; good cigarette style vapes. Hopefully that will happen with this one as I really wanted to like it

Yeah the French pipe has something different to it that gets cloying to me really quickly.
I think there's a caramel note to the old captain. Thinking that something like 3% old captain and 1% cohiba might be nice. Keep that pleasant sweet note but give it a bit more robustness.

I tried my 3% HS Highway - 1% Capella Caramel - 1% TFA English Toffee (instead of vanilla) wannabe RY4 style concoction last night after 10 days steeping. It's way too strong in caramel. The Highway is barely noticeable. I added more HS Highway to take it out to 6% (where I like Highway standalone, anyway). Highway takes about three weeks to build it's flavor from my experience. Now, I'll wait for a couple more weeks and let the Highway build over time.
I also test vaped my 5% FA Cowboy. Not bad, but it's a little sweet for my taste. I'll give that one more time to develop, too. Time doesn't seem to take care of unwanted floral, but we'll see.
My 5% TFA Western is also way too sweet for my tastes. I'll check it again in a week.
Both the FA Cowboy and the TFA Western have that familiar floral undertone that I remember from some vendor juices I never liked.

I just mixed 10 ml of Hangsen No 5, it's one of the strongest tobacco flavors I've run across. The same 4 drops of flavor for 10 ml, it may also have a small amount of the smoky taste. I did notice when playing with the Virginia and Perique Black then switching to just Virginia that the Perique must stay in the wicking for a few days and it takes a while for the Virginia to show it's true flavor.
I'm having a hard time getting coils into the other RBA, been doing it so long maybe I'm getting careless.

You shouldn't need to wait weeks. Being that your adding more flavor to an already steeped juice seed steeping will now take over. So try it again in 2 - 3 days. That should be all the steeping that's needed for the additional amount of flavor added.
Also remember depending on the caramel used it may mellow out over time or may get more intense over time. 10 days is not quite enough time to tell. This normally needs a good 3 weeks. I can't really tell you the characteristics of the Capella brand caramel because I've never used it but Capella vanilla custard I've used and that seems to get stronger over a 3 week period. So I think the right thing to do at this point is wait the full 3 weeks before making anymore changes. After that any changes should only require a 2 - 3 day seed steep.

Omg FA cowboy is sweet to you???
I get no sweetness at all from it..just raw cigarette tobacco.
Taste is really subjective..
I'm still smoking the N0 5 Hangsen but I have more tobacco flavors to try. I've tried the English Toffee with tobacco and it seems to tone down the tobacco taste, I didn't get much if any sweetness added. I looked for Old Captain but it's not sold where I buy.
I've got a set of coils in the RBA, still problems using it on the Kanger but it works good on the Eleaf, I put some Virginia in it for now.
