Heres a mix Ive been toying with for the DK flavor.
3% DK
3% Seedmans Commercial
1 drop vinegar per 5ml.
Its also good to me with DK up to 5% but start low and go from there. Ive found that the seedmans for my taste needs to stay at 3%.

Hi there ShogaNinja. Sorry I'm a bit late to the party, but I have a trick that will help to file down the appley/perfumy notes in the DK tobacco flavoring. I mix it as usual (for me, it's 5% DK, 25% pg, 70% vg, 18mg target nic, counting the DK as part of the pg to make a 30/70 mix). 5% DK is strong enough to have a very present flavor. Then, after you have made your total mix, add 2-3 drops of apple cider vinegar per 5 ml of total mix (adjust according to your drop size). The vinegar will not have a flavor at this amount, but it will work to file down the rough edges of the flavor. Then, right after mixing and adding vinegar, give it a hot water bath for about 15 minutes, shaking it about every 5 minutes while it's bathing. After that, set it in a cupboard uncovered for 24 hours. Then cap it and let it steep for a couple days more. After that, it should turn out to be a pleasant and balanced flavor. Best of luck, and let me know how it turns out!

Im giving this a try. I have three tabacco concentrates M-type, DK Tab & a china 555 that are strong and have a floral perfume like note that I don't care for. I will report back with my findings in a week or two.

I started this post a long time ago when I was a youngling and I figured it's time to come back for an update. I never opened the bottle again. It's like Pandora's Box, I don't want to unleash that back upon the world. Some things are best left alone. I only have white vinegar and haven't remembered to get apple cider so the recommendations, while totally appreciated, have not been taken. I recommend instead of finding creative mad scientist things to do with it I'd rather recommend that nobody waste their money on it.
BTW:
If it smelled like that it would be my all day vape. I think he means VIRGINIA!
What do u guys mean by let it breath ?? Like steeping it for a week with the bottle open ?? Also if it is so overwhelming , why arent u using it at 2 or 3% ?? I have a bottle of it coming btw
Yeah the juice I mixed with it I let it steep open topped for a week. Still, months later, I'll catch a whiff of it in my man cave, even though it's sealed tightly and in a ziplock bag lol.. This flavor STILL haunts me. I don't know why I keep it around - maybe it's just the belief that one day when I become a master DIY'r that I'll know what to do with it.
Maybe I'll play a prank on someone and pour it out somewhere just to see the shock and horror of the drama that ensues. That would be so worth the money.
A lot of people don't seem to like DK. But, it's my favorite DIY tobacco flavor so far. I use it at 3% and let it steep a month.
TPA DK certainly has a place at my vapor-station.
I never mix it higher than 5%; my standard tobacco base (as posted elsewhere in DIY Recipes) is:
3% DK Tob
5% Marshmallow
3% Caramel
3% Hazelnut
1-3% EM to taste
Steep 48 hours, minimum.
All TPA flavors
Sometimes I'll mix in a little Tobacco Extract or Absolute (never more than 2drops/10ml; STRONG stuff, this!), or try some of the other tobacco flavors in place or addition to DK. The above recipe, in one form or another, is always with me. Its great in a carto-tank; didn't really blow my skirt up in a DID (fruit/sweet, FTW).
If I mix most tobaccos (esp. DK) above 5% I find I start picking up wierd flavors (floral, mainly) that I dont care for. While extremely important to tobacco flavors, I dont think steeping will help overconcentrated tobaccos all that much.

I think it has potential and to me it doesn't stink it is very strong it's almost like you could put 3 drops into a 10 ml bottle of PG then use that to mixture to make your juice
I NEED to try this flavor! I have a feeling it will become my all day vape!
This new flavor has a musty floaral base with nutty overtones -

Wow, ShogaNinja, glad i didn't see this till now, i might not have ever bought this. I liked this so much that i ordered 120ml direct from TFA and paid $11.40 to ship two bottles. My first try was 8% DK and 2% menthol and it turned out great for me. Made 100ml and used up very quick. Haven't used the new bottle yet, hope its the same.
Good recipe! Everyone searching for something to use their DK in...Search no more! Thanks JDuncan
