A flavor brewing in my mind.

[Subservient]

Alright ladies and gentlemen, lets take a trip into the brain of Subservient.

I've spent the last couple days poking around trying to decide what my next purchase is going to be when my first hasn't even arrived yet. I still haven't vaped anything even approaching decent flavors, but even still, I've stumbled upon a monster that threatens to consume me. This monster is Tasty Vapor. These wonderful (horrible?) people have decided to give me the power to dictate what flavors go into a juice and made it cheap enough that it has me chomping at the bit.

So, here's what I've spent the last eight hours coming up with. I want opinions, criticism, blatant and blunt force trauma to my words. If I'm being stupid, tell me I'm being stupid. I'm relatively sure I am, but my brain won't let me go with that until someone gives me the look and throws the dunce hat at me.


So, this started off as a way to source RY4, since all of the most highly recommended places are terribly out of the stuff and it is very competitive to get one's hands on even a small bottle of the stuff. I'm looking at you Back Woods Brew.

The inital thought was to get the three base flavors of RY4 in a 2 oz doubler, add in a 1 oz of the good stuff, and we'd have a very basic RY4 type substance. Tobacco, Vanilla and Caramel. As I've been poking around though, the salivary glands kicked into overdrive. What else could we throw in there that would compliment those three flavors that would be beneficial to the entirety of the juice. After much oohing and aahing and debating with myself (yeah, I get funny looks) I've boiled it down to two possible flavor combinations, the only difference being very minor. Now, this is assuming that the good people over at Tasty Vapor put an equivalent number of drops of flavors into each batch. I.E. a bottle of French Vanilla, Caramel and Tobacco would have x number of drops of each.

So, we have as follows
0 mg - 90/10 PG/VG - French Vanilla, Caramel, Tobacco, No Sweetening - 8 oz
24mg - 90/10 - Brandy, Cinnamon, Tobacco, No Sweet - 1 oz
24mg - 90/10 - French Vanilla, Hazelnut, Tobacco - Sweetened - 1 oz
24mg - 90/10 - French Vanilla, Cinnamon, Tobacco - Sweetened - 1 oz
24mg - 90/10 - Brandy, Jamaican Rum, Tobacco - No Sweet - 1 oz

Now, assuming the drops above, this brings us to a final mix of 8 mg for all day vaping,
12 Part Tobacco
10 Part French Vanilla
8 Part Caramel
2 Part Cinnamon
2 Part Brandy
1 Part Hazelnut
1 Part Jamaican Rum

Now as you can see, this makes an incredible amount of juice. 12 oz of the stuff. Thus the reason I am asking the wise ones of the forums to give me some input to encourage or discourage an either good idea or an incredibly stupid one. I was at least smart enough to figure out the mixing stages and the number of bottles I'll need in what sizes I'll need, so I think I'm good there.

Alright ladies and gentlemen, tear it apart. As a side note, I've been awake for 39 hours now and this seems like a really good idea.

Cheers

I wish that I could help you but I am just not into tobacco flavors at all. I did want to wish you luck and I hope that you are able to get sleep soon

The first one you list is like RY4 but with FV. Might make it yummy. Never had it with FV

Thats something I noticed while I was poking around. Mind you I haven't been able to get my hands on any of this stuff yet, but french vanilla makes me a very happy little boy. Add in the caramel and the spice of a good tobacco and you've got a winner. I'm budgeting my brain out right now figuring out how I can afford this stuff and a new pair of shoes and I think I've got it worked out as long as the shipping doesn't exceed its normal boundaries.

I'm hoping that adding the brandy flavor will bring out the spiciness in the cinnamon without it overpowering everything else. Balance above all else. We'll see what happens once I actually get my hands on everything. I'm thinking that as long as I can get a couple good syringes off the medics out here that I'll be able to make smaller test batches to get the mix just right and then expand the batch size from there. I'll have enough that I'll be able to share too, which is really nice.

Hopefully everything works out as planned and I'll be able to let you guys know how it turns out. Its going to be until at least the first week of next month though, as I've already burned through my available cash supplies ordering my first bunch of goodies.

I appreciate the feedback from y'all so far. Keep it coming.

The french vanilla, hazelnut and tobacco sounds pretty good!

I haven't mixed with hazelnut yet, or even vaped any of it, but from all the posts and videos raving about backwoods brew's hazelnut tobacco I feel it is a must for me to try.

Best of luck on your venture.

Not a good idea IMO! Unless you're extremely familiar with all of those TV flavours by themselves.

I think it might end in disaster...but I admire your imagination and creativity

TV tobacco isn't like most tobacco - Not sure if you've tried it but some love and some hate, it tends to really divide people.

Now, this is assuming that the good people over at Tasty Vapor put an equivalent number of drops of flavors into each batch. I.E. a bottle of French Vanilla, Caramel and Tobacco would have x number of drops of each.

I don't think they would. Reason for this is some flavours are much stronger than others. He'd probably have extensive notes on how much of each flavourings in different circumstances.

I think your best bet would be to get each flavour by itself. Sometimes you can create a foul concoction without meaning to...and with DIY and TV custom I always keep it simple to start with - then you can mix small 3ml testers from the different bottles and get the ratio just right. You could ask Geoff his opinion on whether it would work or not.

Sounds to me like you should get into proper do it yourself juice making lots more flexibility and room for error + it's much cheaper.
