Download Scubabatdan's ejuice calculator. It's on the bottom of the page in his signature.Here's the link to the file.

This is an excel file so if you don't have excel, as many of us don't, go and download the free Open Office.OpenOffice | Download OpenOffice | Get Free New OpenOffice . Open Office can read excel spreadsheets. In Dan's ejuice calculator you'll find many recipes, mixing help in general, and many links to flavor suppliers, etc.

I've been into Seedman's flavor concentrate and it works very well. One of Dan's recipes for uses the tobacco absolute you bought and seedman's commercial concentrate.
There are a few other good recipes scattered around in the DIY section. I'll see if I can find you a few after dinner here.
good luck

I have some TA that I got from PA premixed with PGA & EM. But no idea where to start in mixing it. Any opinions or info would be great thanks.

I got a bottle of that, probably the first version. I can't taste any tobacco in it, just the EM, so it's pretty much cotton candy flavor to me. I suggest trying a 20% concentration.

Personally I use FlavourArt tobacco flavoring purchased from here: FreedomSmokeUSA

I've been using Virginia, Cuban Supreme and Mar/boro Ultimate flavors.

Freedom Smoke also has a variety of bottles in handy sizes. If you have a bunch of those, you can make multiple batches of different strengths and speed up the testing process. Be sure to let the mixtures set for 12 hours or so before sampling.

I haven't used percentages with the FA tobaccos since they're so strong. I just go by drops per ml of base.

I suggest trying 2 drops per ml. My recipes call for 2.5 to 3 drops/ml but I like a strong tobacco taste.
I can vouch for that. To get the true intended taste of Fa, ya need to start at around 6%. Max and I vape at around 12-13%. Prior to 6% there is a certain harshness or je ne sais quoi, that turns folks away. But once you get past that point, the "full" flavour starts to develop, into a pleasureable flavourful richness second to none.

Away..
Taste is abt a large a difference as one will find.
I tried all the FA flavors except the Cuban and I don't care for them at any strength.
They all seem to be some spicy/flowery flavor IMO. For me, tobacco isn't one of them.
But that's me. Everyone is different in what they are looking for.
To me FA misses the "roughness", for lack of a better word, of what I expect from a tobacco flavor simulating a real analog. Some of the tobacco flavors that come with a kit are so much closer. Some hate those. You never see those for sale and if you ask suppliers, they cannot get just the flavoring.

I would never tell someone NOT to try FA or any brand/flavor. People are all individuals with independent likes and dislikes and you never know till you try it for yourself.

Get some Seedman's Commercial and Seedman's Honey. They will change your life. I believe those plus TA are the most important flavors you can have for tobacco.

I'll have to try a little honey in Dan's tobacco recipe which is the Seedman's commecial & TA. Seedman's commercial is a great base to start with. I'm about ready to purchase some FA for a jump to the wild side. I do have a humble respect for Vaporer's experimental savy and will proceed slowly, cautious and with much deliberation. So much for my leap to the wild side! Right now I've got to experiment with all the lorann's and PA flavors I've purchased, then maybe a trip, never leaving the farm to the wild side.

Dekang Winston seems to have that quality, sort of a harshness that resembles burning cigarette paper.

I've been pleased with several of the FA tobaccos. While none have a cigarette taste, there are some which keep my interest. The 'fire safe' cigarettes hadn't been tasting that great anyway.

You might want to give Health Cabin a whirl. I believe they have the marlboro flavouring which to my understanding is used for the "tobacco" flavours in pre-filled carts.

Switched, I think cigarette quality in the US has been going downhill since the 60's... it's like the manufacturers began putting in more and more additives to disguise the taste of cheaper tobacco and increased filler. The 'fire safe' modification was the last straw for me. That, and the new vastly higher taxes on rolling tobacco.

That was about the time I became aware of ecigs as a real alternative.
