I've decided I don't need an actual RY4 for my
tobacco mix (I already have several tobaccos including Purilum Sweet tobacco for it's "nutty" flavor) so I'm just looking for suggestions of which caramel and vanilla to use.
I am curious about some good caramels too.
One tip, combine your caramels with cotton candy, marshmallow, and/or meringues... it gives the caramel a rounder flavor note.
One caramel I refuse to go without is FA caramel (carmelo). I heard capella's V1 Caramel is good as well, V2 seems okay to me. I've played with WF caramel butter which smells wonderful in the bottle but I have yet to get it to translate in a mix. It's still rather new to me so I can't really give a solid yes or no on it. Another caramel that's intriguing to me and I am still in the testing phase of it is HS caramel toffee-- I heard it's good.
The vanillas I like are INW Shisha Vanilla and FW Madagascar vanilla. FW Madagascar vanilla has a very faint boozy note to it and the vanilla itself is very strong. It should be used at very low percentages (1% and lower).
