7 leaves

[hawkizefan]

Can someone enlighten me about the flavor profile of 7 leaves?
how about a starting point for %. I do drops and depending on the flavor I do 10-16 drops per 10ml of the super concentrates.

So you're saying I'll like it?
You stalking me buddy? I was just in your room and couldn't find you. Figured you were still playing that game of hide and seek we started last week

You didn't say which brand, but if it's a super concentrate I would start at 1.5%. Seven Leaves is an Asian cigarette flavor and coincidentally I'm vaping some Hangsen 7L eliquid right now. It's nothing to write home about, a bitter sour tinged with a fire cured flavor. To my taste anyway. I use the concentrate in a few recipes like Dragon's Leaf.

It's flavour art. I didn't see "super concentrated" anywhere but figured worse case scenario I would mix 3 small batches up at varying % and go from there. That 6-8 week steep that I do with tobaccos is a long wait to see what is what with it.

I hid in the same place you hide when you go missing. Thought you would think to look there and how right I was! Got bored quickly and have been busy mixing up base and extracting flavors. Ordered some nic and vg as well.

I knew I should have looked there....duh.
Interested in your progress. Pm me with an update when you have time.

I use FA 7 leaves around 3% if I'm mixing it alone, 2% if I mix with another tobacco flavor.

I like FA 7 leaves by itself, but I really like it with other tobaccos. It isn't quite strong enough in a basic tobacco flavor to totally suit me, but has some complex flavors that work really well with other tobaccos, although I'm at a complete loss to describe said flavors lol. I'm out at the moment and I think the last of it went to rescue some hangsen blended (7leaves 2%, blended 3%).

The after taste of 7 leaves is very good, with a light, natural tasting sweetness. I mixed it at 4% by itself and 2 to 3 % with other tobaccos.

I use FlavourArt Seven Leaves quite a bit but found that as a "primary" it has a rather acrid flavor, hard to describe. Tobacco but too sharp.

It is very good added at e.g. 1% as a booster to other "primary" tobacco flavors.

Given the latest developments on the Tobacco Absolute market what I am finding it useful for is a replacement for all my recipes that were formulated using a TA in EM dilution.

I don't use tobacco flavors often, but FlavourArt's 7 Leaves is one of the few I like. I cannot take cigar or pipe tobacco flavors. I look for the taste of light cigs in a tobacco. 7 Leaves at 1.5% does that for me, and sometimes I add FA Virginia in very small amounts, under 1%. I've also been known to add a bit of 7 Leaves to non-tobacco flavors to give a little hint of tobacco.

I describe 7 Leaves as lightly smokey, dry, slightly sweet. The sweetness is not a caramel or vanilla flavor to me - more like a tiny bit of anise perhaps. If that sweetness were not there, 7 Leaves would be the perfect cig flavor for me.

I also like FA Virginia, and often use it as a "primary" at 3-5% tobacco flavor. Dark Vapure and Latakia are also FA flavors I add in small amounts as an enhancer - 1% to some other tobacco. Have not found anything else I like in the FA line - Shade, Burley, Desert Ship, Cowboy, not much use for any of them.

If you really want to get a wet ashtray taste to remind you of your good ole analog days, 0.5-1% FA Desert Ship will definitely get you there. I think the "magic" ingredient is TrimethylPyrazine though - you can get it from TFA and it will give you all the ashtray you could ever want. ;-)
