I'm still waiting on my hardware but I have everything else.. I want to get a head start on mixing.
Also, I'm going to try to get off analogs so I want some tobacco flavors to try but I picked up a few others
just for fun.. Now about the Nic? I'm somewhat of a heavy smoker as in about a pack a day and sometimes more..
I smoke L&M blue if I remember right they are about .7mg of Nic so 20 would give me 14mg of Nic (of more) a day.


Anyway, here's a list of what I have:

100mg Nicotine solution - 120ml- Carrier 100% VG
Propylene Glycol - 120ml
Vegetable Glycerin - 120ml


Acetyl Pyrazine 5% PG Flavor Concentrate (TFA)
Ethyl Maltol 10% PG Solution (TFA)
Smooth Flavor PG Concentrate (TFA)
Sweetener Flavor Concentrate (TFA)
Vodka (for thinning)


Green Apple Flavor (TFA)
Espresso Flavor (TFA)
French Vanilla Flavor Concentrate (TFA)
Hypnotica Liqueur -HPNO Flavor (TFA)
Watermelon (TFA)
Peanut Butter (TFA)

RY4 Double Flavor (TFA)
555 Type DK tobacco Flavor Concentrate (TFA)
Mtype Premium tobacco Flavor (TFA)
Virginia Fire-Cured Tobacco Flavor Concentrate (SM)
Tobacco Absolute Blend PG ( TFA )
RY4 Type-1 Flavor Concentrate (TFA)
Commercial Tobacco Flavor Concentrate (SM)
Cowboy Flavor Concentrate (TFA)

Here's a link to 200+ threads of recipes: E-Liquid Recipes -- It's a sub forum of this DIY Eliquid Section.

IF your main objective is to try to get off Analogs, you're definitely in the right direction going DIY, as you can be busy doing your own tobacco mixes that will keep you occupied and out of trouble :D

I suggest starting with simple, 1 ingredient Tobacco recipes using the TFA flavors you have. If you really want to get into the good DIY single ingredient Tobacco recipes, I highly suggest the Hangsen flavorings, which you can get at ecigexpress.com (go for the RY4, Turkish, T5, DK or Desert Ship). Whether TFA or Hangsen, start with about 5% mix, you can always up it from there if you feel you want stronger flavor. It's easy, it's simple, it's fun and it can be really good!

Good luck.

From my experience... Try unflavored liquid in 18 and 24 mg first. Its the closest thing to smoking a real cigarette. Smoking a cigarette taste nothing like the tobacco flavors I have tried. It seems to be a psychological thing where we new vapers think we need tobacco flavors and end up with a taste of caramel or vanilla. I made my own cigarettes with cheap tubes and used 200 cigarettes a week on average. I like the 24 mg for the throat hit. I'm also a beer drinker so that may factor in there somewhere too.

Make up a big bottle of unflavored base in whatever strength you prefer to vape.

Then make up a 3 mL "batch" with each flavoring you have, try them separately to see how each tastes to you, and if you like them at all. Once you know what the flavors taste like, drip some from one flavor with some from another into your atty and see how they blend together, to your taste. Then go wild and mix some 10 mL batches of the combinations you like, and see if they still taste good after vaping for a while.

Your preferences may vary greatly from whatever others like, and that's OK.
It's the whole point of DIY ... :)
