Speaking of tobacco, any suggestions for something tasty with FA latakia, cuban supreme, black fire, and sig TAB?
The FA tobaccos are weird tasting. The Black Fire is the best. It doesn't have that distinctive moldy underlining hay taste. I actually acquired it at the time. I tried some latakia recently, and was turned off.

Tommy: I have used FA. The black fire I would suggest 1-2 drops per 30 ml. The cuban supreme start out at 1%. EM is good to add to these type of tobacco flavorings. (My own opinion.) Vape wizard or a few drops of vinegar to tone down the grassy hay type notes also works well. I always had to add a fruit to get the FA flavors to taste halfway decent. I have some oak-wood (FA) that I never even tried. :) I suppose I still should try to make the apple-wood I wanted to make.

I tried all the so called good recipes out there for black n mild...LOL they sucked. I did come up with a maceration that came close to it. I made my own essence from a real natural black n mild cigar. LOL I tried it when I made it. I haven't touched it since....I smelled it last night and I am going to blend some this week.

LOL, that is exactly what turned me away from tobacco flavors. It amazes me that some people like it.

I didn't have many choices. It was either FA or TPA. I never did try FW tobaccos though. I got scared about using too much flavor I guess.LOL I'm glad that the vendors got brave, and ordered Chinese DIY flavors. Now Jimi is happy.

I do like fruit flavors, but they just don't satisfy like the tobaccos do for me.

    I've been playing around a lot with these flavorings. For me, I am finding that the perfect flavoring is 1 drop/1ml. I really like that because it's so easy to remember. Sometimes I add a little EM to the fruits. I haven't found that steeping time is really necessary with the fruits. I've been vaping them right away.

    Thanks jewels

    Right. It was not that long ago that FA and TA were the only options.

    I am getting ready to place an order, and I just noticed what you said about FT Red Demon flavor. Hubby and I love GP USA Mix. Have you ever tried that? Is it close?

    No, I've only had one of GP's juices and didn't care for it but it was a fruit. The Red Demon has a distinct chocolate taste to it so if you like chocolate tobacco vapes, you'll probably like this one. Out of all the ones I've bought, the RD has the most chocolate.

    I have been revisiting some of the FW flavors lately and really enjoying them. I used and liked Gummy Bears, Fruit Stripe Gum and Wild Cherry when they first came out. I find that I like many of them at mixed at 10 % too much to my surprise.
    Now those three flavors would be the ones I would like to try. And of course the Big Red soda!! :)

    I washed out the assembly oil in mine with dish soap including the coil heads and air dry on patio table in sunny 90 temp it did a 360 for me im pleased to say.
