    Tobacco Flavours

    I will second the TFA Double, its a really nice flavor and easy to work with (IMO) YMMV I also like Tobacco Absolute, (though it takes some "tinkering" to get the dillution where you will like it and not everyone Does like it) it's not expensive and a little goes a LONG way (even after...

    Is E-Juice supposed to Taste like Perfume/Soap?

    I rarely steep any joose with cap off, none of my DIY , all my flavors are TPA (or TFA from same vendor ) "cap off" works well with alcohol based flavorings IMO (which I try to avoid). TA (Tobacco Absolute) does need some steeping time (IMO) even when mixed with PG (VERY strong even when...

    Is E-Juice supposed to Taste like Perfume/Soap?

    I mostly vape (and DIY for myself) tobacco . So based soley on that (and I may well be wrong) but I THINK.....many vendors use Tobbaco Absolute and "cut the dilluted" with some types of alcohol(s) (I use PG) that often (I THINK) gives the terrible "off perfume type taste" I make several (many)...

    DIY How do you sweeten your DIY juice?

    I add EM crystals in disolved in PG (can find the ratio here in DIY forums) to Tobacco Absolute, I don't feel the need (so far anyway) to use anything else and I hope I won't need to. Using the mix in minute quanties "rounds off" (takes sharp edges) a little more and you get smoothing and a...

    Can you make DIY flavors that taste as good as pre-mixed e-liquids?

    This may help it explains it MUCH better than my "futile attempt" to do so :toast: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5rhNaN5v1yPZGdCRXMyb2NJaWs/edit?pli=1

    Is E-Juice supposed to Taste like Perfume/Soap?

    I also HATE that "taste" I do my best to avoid it as well. Some I would suggest you test (samples when possible) (I do vape mostly tobaccos though FWIW) Copper Creek House Blend Blueberry Voodoo Twisted tobacco And Halo Tribecca As already noted taste is subjective but I never get "any" of...

    THE VAPOR ROOM- HYPNOTIC (& goodbye)

    While I do understand I for one will really miss your reviews. Fresh and honest, with a good bit of humor what else could we ask for ! While some flavors you have reviewed I'd never sample I feel I got an honest and very thourogh review of these as well as some you have "sold me " on . Do not...

    Getting into DIY

    You CAN do it and it's a great "hobby" (addiction?) LOL Just be sure to make notes on EVERY step, so once you finally get something "at least decent" to vape for your tastes you can duplicate it (and possibly improve from there if need be) . Always make certain your final nicotine soloution is...

    What's the big secret??? Why won't E-juice vendors...

    I honestly don't sweat it that much. I KNOW what smoking was doing to me and others for over 30 years, I have NO doubt that vaping is MUCH better and safer. There is no motivation whatsoever for ANY vendor to use dangerous anything in their mixes it would be counterintuitive to do so . There was...

    Hope you make some that is the best you ever had (and make very good notes so you can easily duplicate it)!!!

    By "definition" RY4 = Tobacco, caramel, and vanilla (not to say some don't add to this they do) and this is where the "quandry" begins, some time ago an RY4 WAS those three and nothing more (with a sour note I can't place) China or "classic RY4" as Bill Herbst would say (and has) IF you have...

    TA is STRONG(even when dilluted as directed) , one or 2 drops to start per 10 ML mixed joose, at that ratio it might taste "earthy or even grassy" but not floral at all, certainly not perfume. Some flavors may need > 20% but it's always best to start @ 5% or so and work up. IMO most times you...

    Can you make DIY flavors that taste as good as pre-mixed e-liquids?

    Therein lies the "fun" , it might be or it might be caramel , vanilla, malted milk (you get the point I'm sure) IMO there is "no" one simple flavor, even strawberry (etc.) pre-mixed I believe isn't JUST that, (why would they give us the exact recipe ya know)...sometimes even a very small amount...

    The "Double" (from TFA) is a stronger tobacco, you can steep it for a bit more caramel flavor but IF you're wanting heavy caramel (or vanilla) IMO you'll need to add it (this is one of my ADV I make a few 50 ml batches per time) It does get "better" with time IMHO
