Hey zbass'! How've you been?
Yep, from PA. It's in the flavors in development section. Lots of good reviews, so hopefully it'll be in stock soon.

It was fun! Got to talk to Kurt, who's a regular in the DIY forum. He's a chemist and super knowledgeable. He gave me some snus to try. He and another member were talking all kinds of complicated infusions. I won a t-shirt and met Luke from Vapor Galaxy. I always haul my stash to these meets! Tiring!
Hope you guys are doin better soon!

been playin any golf?
Not much golfing lately. My husband is out of town a lot and we've been pretty busy. Haven't gotten to really do much DIYing lately. Got all those FAs from the co-op and haven't mixed one up yet! Have you?
mixed yes.. golf no, never..lol
I mixed like 12 or so since i got the FA flavors in.. that pandoro is da chit!!! and all the tob boB got smell awesome.... and the cookie is pretty good too... and the cantalope.. hell they are all pretty good so far!

yeah, the pandoro smells good! The meringue actually smells really promising too. Kinda like the cookie. Did you get strawberry? I think that strawberry would be much better in a strawberry pie recipe than the PA.
noooo i didnt get strawberry dang it, or meringue either.. that pandoro mixed alone taste just like a lemon pound cake.. wow.. i got 9 flavors.. 10 ml each and bob got the other 90ml.. in tob flavors.. lemme see i got classic van, cookie, pandoro, cantalope, banana, cinn ceylon, pear, tiramisu, and crud cant member..lol...
Yeah, I'm having problems with the FA tobaccos fading over time. Might be I just need a stronger mix. But FA has a new thing "Bitter Wizard" that I might need to try. I think part of the problem is that the VG causes the tobacco flavoring to sweeten a bit, and BW is supposed to stop that......probably worth a try.
I need to try the DK(tab) as well...something to put on the list next time I order some TPA stuff. I personally didn't like the black sesame.....it tastes like burnt seeds. It's also very strong stuff...I used it at 10% and that was too strong. Just not for me, but I could definitely see how others would enjoy it.
I mix my FA tobaccos at 20%. I know all the guides say like 5% or so, but I find that they are strong and don't fade over time. I use about 20% VG, though. Wouldn't do 20% with desert ship, though. And the DK tab I haven't tried by itself, just mixed in with some other tobaccos.
I just added 1 drop of the black sesame to some straight cuban cigar and that was plenty! And it still sticks in the atty for a while. But me likey.
Yum yums! We're gonna have to do some trading eventually when I can get some time to experiment a little!
Yeah, I'm working my way up from 13% on the FA tobaccos. With the exception of Desert Ship...you are right, the force is strong in that one.
The sesame was so strong that I've been soaking the bottle I used it in for a couple days now. It definitely sticks in your atty as well......I had to soak that one for some time also.
When you are using the FA Tobacco's you are mixing straight up correct; no TA? Also, what % are you ending up with in Desert Ship; that one really looks good to me.
Well, I fixed my mistakes from yesterday. I had double the TA and the juice was, well, rather strong. So I mixed it down and have 4 flavors steeping:
1. Straight up Tobacco
2. Tobacco Vanilla
3. Tobacco Hazel Nut
4. Tobacco Red Hot
How long do you usually wait before testing?
Shake the crud out of it and fire it up 
Seriously, I test immediately after mixing and shaking. The flavor does get richer over a few days, but I only work with a couple flavorings at a time, so a good shake seems to get it to a close approximation of what it'll be like in a while.

Well
Tob/Vanilla - good; with age might get even better
Tob/Hazel - very good but I think I will go a little lighter on the nut next time. But I also have a spare ml in the bottle so I might add more Tob to it in a day
Tob/Cinn - not so sure on this one. I will need to wait and puff a little more

Try a fraction more tob in #2, to dilute down the nut. My first vananaberry I used equal of all 3 parts, had DW taste it, she let me know I needed to slightly bump the vanilla and banana creme. I started at like 8-8-8%, ended with 10-10-8 (yes, it's a pretty high flavor mix, but seems good).
I gotta get to tobacco - cherry tonight. The cherry's good, I just want a slight offset to go with it. On the other hand, cherry-vanilla would likely be nice...

Oh, a cherry in some pipe like tobacco would be yummy; that is one of the pipe tobacco's I used to smoke.
I'm thinking it might go with the Capt. Black rather than the Commercial -- decisions, decisions.
Ru42: give it some time before you futz with it. No harm in trying it right away. But I've learned to give it at least 24-48 hours before making any final decisions.
Mark: Go for the Capt. Black. I've been eyeing that stuff for some time on Seedman, so I need you to try it for me
