Vash I will post my findings as well as the methods so if their good you or anyone can repeat the results or improve upon them.

Boomer theirs a recipe in the book All about tobacco from Milton Sherman that I've tried to make using flavors from TFA, FA, Hangsen, and Seedmans (some were better than others but none really that good) that called for those tobaccos looks like I'll be making an order to leafsonly in the morning lol

My first test on the Montecristo without steeping at 15% flavor 70pg 30vg 18mg was light on taste -the wrapper flavor was dominate but the body and depth was good. I know I'll be using it with other tobacco flavors in the near future.
Sounds good man.Will post the 6 tobaccos I have tried and what percentages I have found to work well for me too :)

Might order a few more from P&C tonight or tomorrow too.If any one has any good recommendations let me know !

I have to agree with Vash. I have tried a lot of tanks like T3's, EVOD's, Aspire, Bauway SS. Terminator's, RBC's, Victories, ARO's and Protank II's. The ARO's, Victories and Protank II's are good because of the Pyrex tanks and if you save your switched out coils, you can rebuild them at your leisure. For dripping I use either sterile cotton or cotton centered Ekowool on a micro-coil or standard coil respectively. You can then just burn of the coil. I like using JUK 23's to drip as they have a long wick to get more hits before re-dripping, a ceramic cup and wide mouthpiece so I can see what's going on without removing the top.

Some of the acids and sugars in extracts are needed for the flavor so you don't want to filter it too much. I filtered Black Cavendish several times to get particulates out but found better flavor if I just filtered out the floaters. Dominican Cigars are like that also.

So just tried the Butterscotch Pipe Tobacco at 10% and its very good.Not to sweet and very nice on the exhale .Will be one I rotate in my line up for sure.

Going to try and find some time tonight or tomorrow and I will post the 5 I have tried from P&C with the descriptions from them and the % of each I have used them at .So far I have found three that really stand out for me personally .The Butterscotchand Vanilla Custard and Golden Cavendish.The Golden is a nice lighter Cavendish that would work really well as a base for anyone looking to add flavor notes to on their own.
I have made some of the Golden Cavendish for a few friends that are really enjoying it and seems to be a good intro into NETs for them.I myself like to switch it up from stronger to light body tobaccos all the time so some of the others I have made are a little strong flavor wise for them but the all agree the Golden Cavendish is great :)

Here are the five I have made from Pipes&Cigars: All are Sutliff except the Vanilla Black Cavendish

Golden Cavendish: 8% - 10% I use 10% since I vape higher VG

Description: Red and Golden Virginias are mixed with deep Rich Burleys and a unique aromatic top dressing. Golden Cavendish delivers a pleasing aroma both in the pipe and the room. If you’re looking for a satisfying smoke that’s not overpowering, you’ve found it.


Vanilla Custard: 10%

Description: Vanilla Custard uses a gentle smoking mixture of Burley, Virginia and black Cavendish as the basis for one of the most outstanding aromatics available. The vanilla is so sweet and creamy that it’s like walking into a bakery while the cupcakes are baking.

I found that the vanilla is creamy but not super sweet and is very good if you enjoy a sweet bakery type vape.


Coconut Almond : 8%

Description: Burley and Virginia are expertly topped with the flavors of coconut and almond. Some flavors naturally complement one another. Coconut Almond, inspired by a popular candy, is the perfect example of a deft hand in creating unique aromatics.

I found this to have a stronger body to it and not much coconut but the almond is there for sure .


Vanilla Black Cavendish: 15% if you like I lot of flavor.Too much for me I will edit to reflect my personal % when I mix up more .

Description: McClelland’s VBC (Vanilla Black Cavendish) is a top-grade black Cavendish, richly flavored with a deeply rich vanilla that approaches a butterscotch-like aroma. Despite the depth of flavor, the sweet vanilla flavor is never overpowering, and the tobacco smokes easily.

Butterscotch : 10%

Description: This delicious blend is indeed a mouth-watering treat. The base is an interesting mixture of flavored Black Cavendish, Virginia and Burley, utilizing a rich but smooth combination of luxurious vanilla and wonderful caramel. Creamy Butterscotch is a wonderfully fragrant way to relax.


Wanna add those descriptions are from P&C site .Wish I could describe that well !

Looks like I'll have to order some Capella's Vanilla Custard. I use to smoke a Burley Plug /Black Virgina /Vanilla tobacco that was a shop blend called Ebony by A.J. Peretti. I loved that tobacco and I've been trying for awhile to mix that flavor without much success. There's something missing and I hope I figure it out soon.

Has anyone tried Borkum Riff? I was very surprised at how good the taste was from a pouch of regular flavor.

Received my first order from Pipes and Cigars today. So I'm getting some more mason jars tonight and will start on all six tobaccos :2cool:

Note don't trust the tracking information as USPS tracking only showed that they had received the electronic notification of shipment on 15 Oct last night which had be concerned but, this morning it showed out for delivery :facepalm:.

My latest: I decided to see if an alcohol extraction would be able to capture more flavor than the PG so I but a Montecristo into vodka in the same manner as the PG one I did earlier but, also wanted to determine if the I could transfer that flavor into PG without the aroma and taste of the vodka. So once the extract was done I measured 12ml of the vodka liquid and added 12ml of PG then evaporated off the vodka and some of the PG until only 10ml of liquid remained. I then tested that flavor against the PG only flavor which I had made earlier. The results were that the Vodka/PG mixture had more flavor at 10% than the PG only had at 15%.

Well I tested the Captain Black Cherry at 10% the taste was good but the Cherry was just a faint essence so I added 2% One on One Cherry Flavor and 1% sweetener the cherry is now there and I'm letting this steep for a week and I'll test it again.

The Captain Black Royal I mixed at 10%. The wife's ADV is a Captain Black TFA mixture so I had her test it. She liked it so much it's now in her tank :2cool:

I had a friend over last night and he was so impressed with my tobaccos that he just dropped off 5 acid cigars for testing. So later I'll start on them however I'm debating whether I should do I straight PG extraction or if I should go with the longer but what I believe to be a more flavorful process of vodka extraction and then evaporation and replace with PG? In the end I think I'll go with flavor but I might need to get some more alcohol.

What I have to play with is Blondie,Atom Maduro, Ming,Cold Infusion Tea, and Nasty. :evil:

I only have experience with Blondie and Kuba-Kuba. I use PG heat extraction for both and Blondie needs several passes of heat and steep to get decent flavor. Kuba is the opposite, very over-powering unless you use a lighter dilution like 20% where Blondie is 30%. So I'll be very interested in how the Blondie comes out with alcohol extraction. I'm extracting, " My Uzi weighs a ton " and toasted Red Cavendish next.

So far I'm not liking the McClelland Darkest Caramel and Chocolate & Cream but I'm going to add them in with the next batch and do an alcohol extraction.
Sounds like I may want to edit my cart then before next purchase .Let you guys know what I pick up next.
My vanilla custard has been tasting even better and have been adding one drop CAP VC to add to the flavor and its been awesome !
