Favorite tobacco flavoring discussion - Tobacco flavoring discussion only

[anavidfan]

@isso ,Ive was wondering if you know where else other than Bull City that sells the Hangsen HA-Havana? They've been out for a month, maybe more.

I really want to give this a try.

Bullcity just got some Hangsen flavors, ordered the HA and the Smooth. Read some really great reviews on them. Hoping they are the final flavors to my collection of must haves.

If I end up with at leat 2 or 4 that Im nuts about and can keep on hand all the time, this whole adventure will be worth it. Thanks to all who have guided me through all this. Using already made flavors has made my life SO MUCH EASIER.

I was making my own NET and honestly, its such a PIA. I have so many personal things that are stressing the hello out of me, that I cant concentrate on getting the %'s right, and the FILTERING.... GOsh, what a pain. All that goop.....

Next step, take some of those you're nuts about, make some small batches with variations. Makes the adventure fun as well as easy

Ive done a bit of that already, I combined the INW Cuban absolute and the INW Tino di whatever Cuban, great combo. Ive even added some of the Hangsen Cuban, they seem to go great together.

I'm going a bit slower and the best example I can give is honey is to be added to a tobacco, got an idea of which tobaccos to try it with but which is the best one, so I mix up the Honey, let it seep and can add to to different tobaccos flavors in the tank.

We have a lot of manufacturer discussions but none dedicated to discussion of tobacco flavoring only. So let’s talk about your favorite tobacco flavoring regardless of who makes it. Let’s include TA's and WTA's in this discussion.

My favorite manufactures is a very short list

Hangsen
Inawera

I've also just recently sampled some TA and WTA from mother’s milk and was blown away by their real tobacco taste.

So let's here from the rest of you tobacco lovers.

Please let’s keep this discussion on point discussing only tobacco flavoring products and feel free to include your favorite tobacco recipes.

Jack Pot !!!...Here's the thread I've been looking for...Now I only have about 4000 more post to read
dannyv45 & All Others...Thank You !!!...Trig

Oh wow, forgot to mention these. Oops.

Tuskin (SC) mixed at 3%. Wow, very nice cigar. I come from vaping NET's and this one reminds me of one of my favorite NET's which was an ACID Blonde cigar from River Bottom Fog Sauce: Dagwoods Wife is Trippin (DWiT). This has that high pitch note which tickles the nose on the exhale. Man, I love that note. It also has a nice tobacco note along with slight smokey note. Going to mix it up at 4% to see if that high pitch note comes out more as that is something I like. Like it so much vaped through 30 mils in two days as I did not test it until two days ago. Winner in my book.

What brand is SC? My favorite NET was also an Acid Blonde but it was by Walkers Finest, which is no longer in business ( have 1 30ml stashed in the fridge )

I have been buying Acid Blonde Cigars and trying to get it close, but it not near as good, ITs OK but not worth all the time and money.

If I could afford it I would only stock my fridge with that Acid Blonde, it was a great balance of dry and tart, with a real nice TH bold, but I could vape a bottle a day if it were still around and I could afford it

Not Quite Yet !!!...But I'm a quick learner...Seems a Rookie like me can build a respectable/useable collection of Tobacco flavors from just Bull City alone...I've gleaned some great ideas from you and several others !!!

Thanks...Trig

SC is Super Concentrates. I know Bull City, Vapers Tek, and I believe Ecig-xpress has them under a brand name of Flavor Express. Not sure who else carries them as I have not looked. In my opinion, they have some of the best cigar and cigarette style vapes. Of course, that is just to my tastes, YMMV. I only found Tuskin at Vapers Tek and bought it on a whim, so glad I did as I am loving this one right now.

Now as for that ACID Blonde thing, I like that high pitch note that tickles the nose. Also like the leathery note that accompanies it. Tuskin (SC) has the high pitch note and some of the leather note. It is the closest I have found to hitting all those notes while not being a NET.

Never had Walkers Finest but almost pulled the trigger on some a while back. It was the extreme gunk factor which made the decision for me. Think I read they were some of the gunkier NET's on the market. That helped in the decision. Have kinda moved away from NET's (and all commercial juice) once I started DIY'ing.

I need some unflavored so I am finalizing an order with nicotineriver.
I am taking this opportunity to make my first flavor purchase.
Perhaps someone can help me fill my cart?

This is the most expensive bottle I have seen... is it worth it?
Flavorah Arabian Tobacco

In my cart so far...
FlavourArt Burley - 10ml
FlavourArt 7 Leaves Tobacco - 10ml
FlavourArt Cuban Supreme - 10ml
Inawera Tobacco DNB - 10ml
Inawera AM4A - 10ml

I would get the flavorah turkish and virginia, but they are both sold out. Is the FApp Turkish OK? What about the FArt(lol) Virginia? Those brands seem a bit... reviled.

I don't seem to like sweet or caramel or pastry or nutty or vanilla all that much so am avoiding the Ry4's.

I liked the Halo Turkish tobacco but find Devlin absolutely revolting and Tribecca tolerable.
I had to dilute and steep the Turkish a lot before I liked it.
I have only ever bought one store bought juice that I do not have to dilute.

Does anyone have any idea what is in Halo's Devlin that I could be having such a strong revulsion to? Is it some nut flavor? I was surprised that I could hate something so strongly that is so popular. I'd like to avoid it -whatever it is - in the future.

FA 7 Leaves Ultimate is one of my standards in this area. (I vape a lot of different flavors.) And do go lightly with it, 2 - 3 %, and give it a long steep. I.e. about a month

I don't use it solo, but add other flavors.

I have the FA Turkish as well, and it's, yeah, ok. Not great. But I might not have steeped it long enough for it to shine.

I tend to mix new flavors in 10 ml batches. Use mostly KF2 series, so I can vape one tank "fresh", another and a bit after steeping. Usually non-tobacco flavors are good shake and vape, tobaccos need time.

 

[anavidfan]

I love this thread
Thanks for all the input.

Im really loving the FA Burley. It has that sharp, tart slightly grassy tone that I really enjoy.

For fun I added some of my home brew of Acid blonde at about 50/50 and WOW, it has added that missing tone Ive been trying to get out of my NET.

This whole experience is very satisfying. Its is headed pretty much where I wanted from using flavors vs DIY and the costly NET store bought.

 

[anavidfan]

I dont know if this would be considered "off topic" but I have been curious as to how everyone vapes their tobaccos, DIY and NET.

Reason I would love to share is because there are so many "tastes" when it comes to what and why we like and hate certain flavors. Is it really our taste buds that affect why someone can love something and someone else feel like hurling with it?

In know our gear, especially the atomizers can make such a difference. We have all had a flavor that was kinda "meh" and then we get a new atty and then suddenly it shines or even becomes our best.

Temp, wattage, air, material of the coils, wick ; cotton, rayon etc.

Might be fun

 

[GaryInTexas]

If it doesn't work in my Kayfun at 8-13 watts with a cotton wick, then it don't make the cut for me.

 

[mcduffy]

I know one regular poster to this thread has stated a preferance for FA's Virginia over Hangsen's. I like it a lot. It's the most used flavor of all I have.

 

[Tamer El-Meehy]

Mixed some HS Arabic @4%. It's really good..but it's missing something..I was thinking of adding TFA raisins maybe 1.5%

Might have to give FA Virginia a try.
I usually do like Virginia tobaccos, but found the INW one OK, but not really a "must have"

I do like the FA Burley alot, and have wondered about their other tobaccos.

I found a bottle of Nat Ex Tobaccos "Red Virginia" which is a strong, throaty Virginia; its a bit much for everyday. I added it to the INW Virginia Absolute. Hoping it adds a bit of a kick to the INW , which is like I said not bad, but not "knock your socks off" good.

 

[anavidfan]

Ive been tempted to try the INW or FA Arabic, might order some next month when Ive had a chance to give what I have that 1 month decision.

BTW, my favorite tobaccos are the slightly stinky, throaty, almost tart ones.

I dont mind a "suggestion" of sweetness, but when sugar hits me first, its usually an indication that Im not going to order another.

I do like the INW "Coffee Paradise" so far. The description is tobacco with touch of coffee. Most that say that are usually too sweet or the tobacco is hidden way back. This is a light definite tobacco with coffee and nicely balanced.

I got the INW Mocca and its a definite coffee, light , slightly sweet, but NOT a tobacco. ITs not like a frapuccino topped with whipped cream either. I like "coffee" flavored coffee as I like tobacco not deserts with tobacco flavors.

Pretty much the same here, although rayon wick.

But quite true, the topper does have an effect on flavor. Back when I was moving from clearos to RBAs that became really apparent to me, the RBAs were much more flavorful.

After trying a large assortment, I pretty much standardized on the KFL2 types, and built a large supply of them, with the Deeming in mind. So they're sort of my personal benchmark - if it's not good in my KFs, it's not going to stay on my list to mix

I'm using both. Hangsen's is weak but makes for a great rich base. The FA is sort of weird but distinctive. My VA mix is something like 2.5% Hangsen, .2% TA Garuda, .2% FA VA (2 drops per 25 ml); Virginia 7 subs out the FA VA for one drop 7 Leaves (which is easily the dominant flavor).

RE: TFA Turkish, not my favorite, good but very pipe, definitely not a Camel.
