After giving my 10% Hangsen Tobacco Essence Desert Ship & Turkish Blend mixes 9 hours total run time in the ultrasonic cleaner they have developed a super rich and smooth exhale flavor!
They haven't quite developed the complex smokey flavor I was after yet, but they seem to be right on the verge. The Desert Ship is very rich and slightly sweet, but not at all like an artificial sweetener. More like the sweetness on exhale of a good Virginia tobacco. The Turkish Blend is less sweet and earthier, reminding me more of the exhale of unadulterated Turkish tobacco. These will mix together excellently.
Maybe the smokey flavor relies on oxidizing the nicotine? I'm pretty sure that hasn't happened yet because the Turkish Blend is still clear like water. I'm going to put one bottle of the Desert Ship and the bottle of Turkish Blend back into the ultrasonic cleaner and try to keep running them until I get color in the Turkish Blend and see what that does.
The great thing about these flavors is that they are almost all about exhale flavor, just like real Turkish tobacco, so they'll blend well with almost any other tobacco flavor just like real Turkish tobacco.
I blended my first tries at natural tobacco extracting with pre-mixed Hangsen Desert Ship & Turkish and they worked out pretty good. It allows you to use less NET, so cleaner vape, but still have a full satisfying flavor. I want to try gathering the right blend of Turkish, Virginia, and Burley to extract and use these Tobacco Essenses as top note flavors...I hope it'll be the ultimate old-timey Camel vape!!
I still want to get a mini mixer, but the ultrasonic cleaner stays.
