I'd steer clear of Chinese flavor concentrates. If it's anything like their baby formula, it's better off in the toilet than in my lungs. That's just my opinion.

Regardless, tobacco liquids almost always require steeping. The length of steep time can range from a few days to a month or more.

As long as the LorAnn flavors you're referring to are PG/VG or alcohol-based (not oil-based), they're fine to use for DIY. You'll find a ton of information here about how to mix the LorAnn flavors.

If you're in Asia I believe you can order from Flavour Arts.

In my experience, tobacco flavors need steeping longer than most other mixes. I've never mixed tobacco myself, I don't vape it anymore, but have bought fresh premixed tobacco juices from a couple of vendors in the past. They often needed a month or so before they tasted decent. If your juice has a chemical/perfume flavor it needs to steep and those offensive qualities should diminish or disappear altogether. In the meantime, just mix some of the other flavors you have and try the tobacco flavors you've mixed in a week or two. If it hasn't improved give it a little more time and try it again.

Tobaccos need to steep 2 - 4 weeks theres no getting around it. To speed up steeping try getting a thurmos cup fill it with hot tap water as hot as you can get it and put your bottles in and put the lid on. Wait for it to cool to room temperature then remove the bottle and shake the hell out of it. Repeat the entire process 2 more times. This should speed up the steep process and give you somthing vapable in a few hours.

Any success experience DIY e-juice with bakery flavour?

Any different with the e-juice concentrated flavour vs bakery flavour?

My advice stay away from the bakery flavors there a crap shoot. Sick with flavors made for vaping theres pleanty of them out there.
