I'm trying to make a 555ish liquid but want it to a have a nice sweet nutty taste. I was going to add maybe some peanut butter and maybe some sweetener with dk tobacco. The problem I'm having is percentages. In other mixes I've had 10% peanut butter, totalling 20% with double chocolate toasted marshmellow and caramel, but got very little peanut butter taste. I'm not sure what to go with because I'm pretty sure tobacco flavors are pretty strong. All flavors ate TPA by the way.

Lol...very strange....I'm vaping dk with pb and cotton candy right now.
Just started playing with it last night...no %...just playing around. Actually the cotton candy was in a 555 @ 5% and added it to the dk with pb. Maybe 5% on the pb.

Bottom line right now...no pb or "nuttier" taste...but the c. Candy has smoothed out some rough notes.

Not sure if that helps or not???
I'm going to up the pb on the next one....

i feel like pb needs to be at a higher percentage most of the time.. for example if you want a peanut butter tasting cake... then the peanut butter has to be at a way higher percentage than the cake.. at least for me it does because otherwise i dont taste the pb at all.. then again it could be that im usuing loranns pb.... hmmm maybe if i use cap PB then it could be better.... i dont have it though... im rambling.

Have you tryed the DK Tobacco by TPA with nothing added? My first mix was with .5% menthol, and i liked it alot, but i think i'll try without anything added and fine-tune the flavor %.

Here's a method I'm trying out, for mixing two flavors: First, work out the ratio for each of the flavors separately. Then make a batch of each, say 5ml. So, if I wanted to create a 'peach iced tea', I would mix a 5ml bottle of peach (8% flavor plus tartness, to taste), and a 5ml bottle of 'black tea' (5% flavor, plus sweetner, to taste). Each of those should be vapable on their own (add sweetener, tartness, as desired). Also, I like to let them steep overnight, or at least for an hour or so. Now, its time to mix these 2 together, in small batches (1/2 to 1 ml). 9 drops peach, 1 drop tea. Shake, let steep (flavors need a little time to blend themselves). Taste, and take notes. 10 drops should be enough to tell if the flavor balance is what you're looking to obtain. Clean atty and let dry while making the next mini-batch: 8 drops peach, 2 drops tea. .... continue until you've tasted the 1 drop peach, 9 drops tea.

By starting with flavors that are vapable by themselves, this mixing method should get me at least *close* to the proper balance between peach and tea, and not produce a totally terrible mix at any point in the process. Let's say I liked 4 peach to 6 tea, but found it weak. 4/10s of 8% peach is 3.2%, 6/10s of 5% tea is 3%. I'd mix up my 'peach tea flavoring' with this new ratio, enough for a 10ml batch of e-liquid, and then work out what percentage of this I need for the flavor I want.

In theory, this should get you close to the ratio you want, without a lot of wasted batches. I do my testing 0-nic, just in case I do have to flush a batch.

Also if your looking to add a peanut taste to your mixes FA nut mix is ideal.

Just curious ToweKnee, have you tried Hanhsen 555? It's really good. I made a couple of big orders with VZ when I first got into DIY a few months ago (a bunch of SC's and Hangsen) and thought they all were terrible. I didn't know what the He!! I was doing and went wy too high on the percentages. I then made huge orders with everybody else (TPA, FA, HC, ECX, etc.). I screwed all of those up too. Finally slowed down and spent my time reading the knowledgebase here and started getting the hang of it. Started going back to some of the Hangsen flavors just recently and the RY4 and 555 are terrific (8% for me). Just made bigger batches.

Back on topic.
I keep a 30 ml bottle of Scubabatdans old base recipe (TA/EM/Seedmans) in a VG mix @ 50% I add a little of this mix too most of my other tobacco mixes. Will just call this STA for now

I Like Blackfire at 2 % with 10% STA
I Like FA Cuban at 1.5% with 10% STA
I like Perique at 2% with 1% Cuban and 2% cotton candy
I Like Perique at 3% with 10% STA
I Like FA RY4 at 3% with with 2% HC Caramel (awesome burnt sugar taste), 2% TPA vanilla swirl, 2.5% BM Bav cream, 2% Capella Cin Dan Swirl. (This mix is really really good...) The HC caramel really sets it off.
I like the STA at 10% and depending on mood (black cherry, maple, double apple) @ 5%
I like ECX Black n milk at 3%
I Like Hangsen 555, RY4,Turkish all @ 5% (not together ofcourse)

Don't really have a favorite, my moods keep changing but most of my stuff is all tobacco based.

All of my mixes are all VG with 5% PGA
I Like FA Cuban

Rlo I have the Hangsens RY4 it's quite good but haven't tried the 555 yet but it's on my list now.

Thanks to great people on the forums I have a bunch of coffees coming in to extract.

Right now tobaccos from FA are on my list to do. Like I said latakia is mixed with some perique to start with. Was really surprised how light latakia was at one percent. So I bumped it up a percent. We will see how that goes later today.

Latakia is probably the on FA tobacco I don't have. Looking forward to seeing what you think of it.

Yeah I know that it's nothing like a real cuban or a "good cigar" for that matter and I don't use it as a stand alone. I usually mix Perique with it or add very small percentages to some other tobacco types. I don't smoke anymore but I wouldn't think twice about firing up a real Cuban if I could get my hands on one. I've only had one in my life and was craving another one so bad a few days later I probably would paid anything to get one. Since your Cuban I could understand you being upset, it's not worthy of the word "cuban" in their description.
