555?

[ddavelarsen]

Has anyone been successful creating a decent 555 replica? I've tried several tobacco flavorings along with hazelnut or pistachio, no joy so far. It's the nutty side that I'm having most trouble with, though the FArt tobaccos I've tried (IIRC Burley and Mellow Sunset?) aren't quite right either. I've also tried the tobacco flavor from American e-liquid, which is pretty bland but might work well for another application - just not 555.

Anyone have a recipe they would share? Thanks for any ideas.

I love 555 also. The mix I make for a 30ml bottle is as follows;

3ml of Lorann Peanut Butter
1ml of FlavorArts Virginia/Burley mix 50/50, or your favorite tobacco flavor
.1ml of Lorann Chocolate
.3ml of Lorann Caramel
1 drop of FlavorArts Peanut...which is RAW peanut flavor very potent...not required though.

Then add your PG/VG/PGA and unflavored Nicotine base mix to the top.

Mine is approx;

12.5ml of 60mg/ml unflavored Nicotine
10ml PG
2.5ml VG
.5ml PGA

Makes a nic level of 25%

When I have it I will add about 5ml of 555 juice from Freedom Smokes too, it is very good. Totally Wickeds used to be good but I have lost faith with the last batches from them.

I would make a small batch first to try...Scubadattan has a good calculator to downsize it.


Hey...I was going to use that as an avatar too...but my kids said Snitzel is more me...LOL

Hey, thank you! I too was going to post today asking about 555!!!

I love this stuff, and was JUST wondering if peanut would be the nutty additive!
Much appreciated!

Depends on your taste I guess. I like the PB taste over FA's peanut, which like I said is raw, fresh dug peanut flavor. I ordered 100ml from them thinking "roasted peanut flavor" but that was not the case. I add a little bit just to give it that ever so slight earthy flavor. Anybody wants some I got a whole lot of it I'll sell you..just PM me to make a deal.

Many thanks, that's most helpful. I've gotten my 555 from Freedom Smokes too, and I just love the stuff. I'd be hard pressed to live without it. I'll give this a shot very soon, there are a couple of ingredients I need to score first.

LOL...hope you can get rid of it... not a 'peanut' flavor fan myself, but I was thinking it was in there, so I'll go with the Peanut Butter part. I agree... there's a big difference!

Quick question, slightly off topic - I've seen "PGA" used here often, what's that stand for? I know what PG and VG are, just haven't seen PGA. Thanks!
