    Robert's Virginia Flue Cured #10

    Yeah I add Vape Wizard as standard procedure. First I was using 1 drop per 3 mL then I bumped it up to 2 drops per 3 mL. To tell the truth I am not sure what it does if anything. I just add it, lol. It is not exactly a magic bullet for dryness so far as I can tell, but it does not seem to...

    Robert's Virginia Flue Cured #10

    Yeah, the TA is not only much easier to work with that way, I think it also gets better when cut. I assume it ages out like other flavors just by cutting it. I have a bottle too that has been around for a while because I only use drops of it, and I've noticed that the grassy aspect has...

    Robert's Virginia Flue Cured #10

    Thank you that is very gracious. I really enjoy tinkering with flavors, starting with some kind of tobacco base and making a long series of additions and adjustments. It seems pretty undisputed that tobacco flavors are difficult. There are a lot of fruit style recipes, people seem to post...

    Mixing Tobacco Recipes'

    TobaccoExpress flavors that I have tried - 555 and DHill - are pretty good. I am gonna order a bunch more TE flavors soon. They do not unfortunately have a really prominent tobacco taste, but they also do not have those weird floral incense elements that many of the FA tobaccos seem to have...

    how to sweeten ejuice, help

    Ethyl Maltol does not have any kind of artificial sweetener taste to me. If you are going to use PEG 400 make sure you get a food grade that is certified to be free of Diethylene Glycol. PEG 400 is not a single compound, but actually a mixture of a range poly glycols with an average molecular...

    how to sweeten ejuice, help

    I recommend you try to get Ethyl Maltol, can't see any reason why it would be controlled or banned from importation anywhere. Ethyl Maltol, usually just referred to as EM is not so sickly sweet, although if you add enough it will certainly sweeten juice quite a bit. But it also adds a little...

    Ethyl Maltol Crystals - Mixing ratio to PG to create sweetener

    That pretty much corresponds to what I have always thought - that 10% solution of EM they sell are either not very stable or they are adding ethanol to get it all in. I have always worked with 5 % solutions and never had any issues with precipitation or incomplete solution. However, my main...

    Ethyl Maltol Crystals - Mixing ratio to PG to create sweetener

    1/4 Teaspoon to 10 mL PG is what seems to be the usual advice, and heat in a hot water bath to dissolve. I suggest if you really want to do it right, at some point in the future get a set of small digital scales, they can be had for $20 on eBay, and do it by weight instead. Also everyone says...

    Masking pepperflavor in Tobacco Flavors

    Well some additive flavors start to develop a strong pepper taste if you add higher amounts. Nut Mix from FlavourArt becomes very pepper heavy if you use more than a couple of drops, but it was not very nutty to begin with anyway. I solved that one by switching to a mix of peanut and peanut...

    Masking pepperflavor in Tobacco Flavors

    Seems like this would have certainly come up, but I searched and found nothing really relevant. Does anyone know any additional flavorings or "tricks" that will at least diminish the very distinct pepper flavor that many of the tobacco flavors have? I have tried caramel, EM, vanillin, various...

    DIY Basic Flavor starter list.

    I buy most of my stuff from ECX because I like to experiment with large numbers of small quantities, and a little lower price does not go far if you pay shipping from a bunch of different places. ECX has a boatload of TFA (AKA TPA AKA Perfumer's Apprentice) flavors, they brand them as...

    TFA flavor help

    I found myself having to add Ethyl Vanillin to almost every tobacco mix I made, either to add something that was missing or mask something that shoulda been left out. Which was OK, I like vanilla well enough, but all my tobaccos were, well, like vanilla was added. So I tried Bavarian Creme...

    TFA flavor help

    The Virginia is pretty mild and not very perfumey or flowery compared To Desert Ship. I made a mix with Desert Ship that was OK after a month, but when you first blend it it has a lot of incense sort of character. I think it is pretty vile myself, taste is subjective of course. And hard to...

    DOOMSDAY Prepping For the Possible FDA Restriction

    I think they will not be effectively able to regulate batteries and carts from being bought, maybe have to go offshore, but not sure. Gonna evaluate that once the proposed regulations are published. But FDA has the authority to regulate foods, drugs, tobacco products and nicotine, I don't see...

    Stockpiling Essentials Part 2

    OK, so now you have the basic idea, here is how to execute it. First of all, use the 100 mg/mL stuff. PG and VG have dissolved oxygen. The more dilute the nicotine, the less the shelf life. I also suggest you use only PG base, it should be a little moe stable than VG or PG/VG. Work with...

    Stockpiling Essentials Part 1

    In the uncertain times ahead, sadly probably certain that FDA will eventually get around to eliminating our little endeavor, a lot of people are wisely thinking ahead about stockpiling. First what do you even need to stockpile? Food Flavors and PG/VG will continue to be available, no...

    DIY Basic Flavor starter list.

    Tobacco flavors are weird. I suggest you by the small 10 mL bottles until you find some you like. For making tobacco style juices in general, the basic starters IMO are Ethyl Maltol Ethyl Vanillin Caramel Chocolate Coffee Acetyl Pyrazine Vape Wizard (FlavourArt) or something like it. I also...
