DIY Flavoring Thread - Part 2

[Rlafontaine1971]

Don't get me started Fran! Suffice it to say, he's like a spoiled child and it's just easier to keep the peace on this subject

Damn, I need a sugar mama!!! I was in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago for a business trip. I was pretty close to that place that makes the e-pipes and wanted to check it out but I got sick and lost all of my motivation. My wife is from CT and all of her family is up there. We send them cartons of smokes (about $40/each) every couple of months or so. $8.00/pack is horrible.

I have too much to say to that so I'll just shut-up.

 

[deepdeep]

The TE pipe & Black Mile I would start at 3%. I just mixed some Black Mile 2 days ago. They need a week for a proper steep. However, I was lazy and waited to the last moment to mix. I am vaping it now. It is still good. The EM I would say 1-2% if you need to add some sweetness or body to a flavor. Menthol crystal I never bothered with. I just buy a bottle of menthol flavorings. I don't do allot of menthol anymore so I rarely use it.

I would also say start out with 3% with the Mango. I am not a big fruit person. However, it seems with the fruits 3% is a good starting point.

I have heard that Flavorwest flavorings which Vapor Renu also owns uses 10% to flavor their liquids. 20% for double flavor. With honeywood I would say start at 8% and work upwards. I have tried it a few years ago. I actually thought I liked it. However, it was not a all day vape with me. After a few times it gave me a sore throat so I stopped using it. I have not tried Smooth...or the fruit express cream.

Thank you 2X, you help everyone out

Thats a pretty good first order, you've got a few really nice flavors. You also came to the right place for advice, I didn't know what the Hell I was doing before I came here.


Smooth (Select Size) (SIG-SMOOTH)
I use smooth as an additive to certain tobacco flavors, you'll get a lot of different opinions on this one. Some people like it as a stand alone, I use it more as an enhancer on some blends.

Ethyl Maltol (Select Size) (DIYETHYLMALTOL)
I hardly use EM anymore. You can add some sweetness to mixes with it or use it to help round out or tone down some flavors. It's best to just start with a couple of drops per ml until you get a good enough idea of what your getting from it. You dont have to add it when you first mix a batch. Try mixing something first, see how you like it, then go back and add a small % of EM so you can see the difference.

Fruit Express Mango 10ml (FE-MANGO)
I'm not much of a fruit type but the Mango is really good. I usually just go with a drop per ml on this one but havent tried it in a while.

Honey Wood Tobacco by Flavor West (TOB-FW-HONEYWOOD)
I actually like this flavor in mixes but not by itself. I've seen a lot of people using it as a stand alone though. I've mixed some at 5% and added some tobacco extract, blue berry flavor and a little sucralose.

Tobacco Express French Pipe 10ml (TOB-TE-FRPIPE)
3 drops per 5 ml on most of the tobaccos (the fine people of this forum turned me on to that) and a drop or so per 5 ml if it's not enough for you. Very good tobacco flavor.

Fruit Express Cream 10ml (FE-CREAM) $3.99
I don't use it that much but alot of people love it. Keep the % lower if your using it as a flavor note.

Tobacco Express Black Mile 10ml (TE-BLACKMILE) $3.99
This is the one that actually got me here. Stumbled accross these guys/gals talking about it one day and decided to finally try it ( I had it for several weeks but never opened it) This one is very good (3 drops per 5 ml)

Menthol Crystals (Select Size) (DIYMENTHOL50)
Some people dissolve a few crystals in some vodka, ever clear, etc. Some dissove it in PG and some dissolve it in VG. Whenever I use the menthol crystals I'll just break off a small piece (about half the size of a tic-tac) and it to my bottle. Hold it under some warm water, shake it real good and let it sit for a bit. I can usually tell by smelling it if it's what I wanted or if a little more is needed.

Thank you sooo much for your indepth input i need it

Thanks

This is the best I can do.

Oh...I have a kind of odd question. Since hubby has abandoned vaping, he's decided to go the cheaper route of RYO. Anyone happen to have a tobacco rolling or stuffing machine they don't use anymore?

why did hubby abandon vaping?
sorry, had to ask, but if it's a sore subject ...

Searching, his vaping is not the sore subject, his being drunk and out of work for the last 3 years is the bitterness on my venomous tongue

Don't be sorry you asked, it's no secret to those who know me around here...now you know too. That's why Frannie has to restrain herself, she wants to smack some sense into his head

A little OT..
Do they even sell RYO tobacco anymore? My husband went to vaping last april, prior to that I would buy a mini sack of shredded "pipe" tobacco for $10 and a bunch of empty paper tubes for like 2-3 bucks. (`course these are Georgia prices, don't know how much it would be in your neck of the woods) It was just cigerette tobacco renamed to cut down on taxes spent. He used a little blue plastic tool that shoved the tobacco in the tube. (made a huge mess too) That would last about about 10 days or so.
The reason why I mention it, the site I bought tobacco samples (for my NET) from leafonly.com sells whole leaf tobacco and has videos on how to shred them for use in cigerettes. buy them put him to work. If he wants to smoke make him work for it Since the whole leaf tobacco products don't have any taxes associated with them it would save a few bucks. If he later chooses to vape again you will have plenty of tobacco to use for NET's.

Here are some of the combos they recommend:
