Hangsen Ry1 has a good but mild flavor profile with nothing added that I can tell. It's tasty at 3 to 4 percent but just a bit too mild for me. Should be worth a shot.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I have a few in my cart

Just to update on an idea I had previously.

I just now sampled some FA Oakwood, 2% in 100%VG base. Mixed 3/1, given some time in the UC (2-4 hours, didn't keep good notes unfortunately). First of all I like this flavor, not that I'd vape it by itself but it is pleasant alone for sure. A nice mellow oaky, woodiness, moderate strength-wise at this particular concentration and moment in time...

So, I dripped a bit of my Dark for Pipe (3% maxVG, mixed ~a week ago) in with it and wow. They seem to go extremely well together. I'd say the Oakwood emboldens the tobacco element, and rounds out the rum a bit. Overall I think I like it enough to experiment with mixtures. I normally do Dark for Pipe @ 3% but I am entertaining a mixture of 2% with 1% Oakwood. It will be a bit before I try it--way too many other things being sampled right now. But next time I mix Dark for Pipe, I'll try that, though I may rethink the percentages.

Dang DIY is fun. I think the best thing I ever did was vape unflavored for several months. It enabled my taste buds to find my preferred base (I've realized PG tastes gross to me, whereas before unflavored I vaped 50/50 mixes...though I will be experimenting in the coming weeks with 80/20 ratios, 70/30, but a 65/35 I tried recently was too much PG), it caused me to find the best vape possible for myself without flavor involved. Now that I've found my setup, and my tastebuds "forgot" "premium" juices, DIY tastes great, is fun, and cheap as heck. What is not to love?

ETA - oh no. On top of the Oakwood and Dark for Pipe I dripped a couple drops of INW Shisha Brandy Cocoa (2%, mixed yesterday ~1 hour UC) and it's a whole other flavor entirely. And it's good.

Chocolate and tobacco go so well together I own 10 different chocolates and put it in almost every tobacco I vape.

I actually don't like any chocolates I've tried, this Brandy Cocoa is (at least right now) brandy-heavy and very faint cocoa. I did have a premium juice once that was tobacco and chocolate and damned good. I think the reason I don't dig chocolate vapes is because of my wattage. It's not high, I vape just under an ohm on a mech currently, but I think that's enough power to make chocolate kinda gross to me.

Whatever cocoa used in NT's "cure" and this Brandy Cocoa are the only ones I've tried that taste fine at this level. But I don't really get cocoa from the shisha - yet, anyway

 

[dannyv45]

Try the Inawera chocolates. There the only chocolate worth anything. I vape .50 to 1.0 with a mech mod and these chocolates are just fine. Use chocolate as an accent (1 - 2%) you will hardly taste the chocolate but it brings out the richness of the tobacco.

 

[Sloth Tonight]

INW "Chocolate" is Nasty IMO...that's the only one I've tried and TBH I think that killed my curiosity of the others.

The best chocolates I've had are SCG Chocolate Truffle (great fresh, bad 2 days later to my palette) and Molinberry Glamour Chocolate (...meh).

Dang DIY is fun.

Yes it is!

I waited way too long to do DIY myself. I also waited way too long to concentrate on tobacco mixes. It was educational to try a bazillion different flavor combos, but in the end, tobacco is where it's at for me. Sure, I'll mix a small percentage of this or that with the tobacco at hand, but it's always the tobacco that is front and center.

I am much the same way with the chocolates. About the only way I do chocolate anymore is when it is an inherent part of the tobacco flavoring. The SC Black n Mild and ecigExpress Black Mile have a super pleasant chocolate note included in the flavor along with the tobacco.

I will add that FA Cocoa is pleasant at low percentages.

 

[Sloth Tonight]

Perhaps I will try INW Chocolate and FA Cocoa again in conjunction with baccy. Both were off putting single flavor but I have not tried as a small backup to tobacco. Will give it a shot. Just saw Danny's edit and if he ain't scorching .5 - 1 ohm, I'll give it a try

 

[canevar]

ecigexpress Black Mile annoys me at higher percentages, but I enjoy it as an addition around %0.5. Lately INW Symphony %3.5 plus Black Mile %0.5 is a very enjoyable mild vape for me. Nuttiness with a very slight chocolate note. I will try INW chocolate when it arrives.

Anyone try FA Perique Black? Perique Black-FA

Love perique based NETs, wondering how this compares.

OK so hubs hates my Arabic - I forgive him and made him buy me shinnies for attrition

So - since I have never cared to try any other tobacco flavors - I need help. He likes fruity vapes and we have come up with 4 flavors he likes but now he wants something different. I remember someone gave a description of a flavor that said it was smokey plum. That sounds good.

What would you get for a guy that doesnt want sweet but doesnt want strong cig type either...or name a few. I'm going backwards reading as lately there have been a lot of great flavor reviews I skipped over because I love my Arabic and wasnt paying attention.

I does take a couple tastes sometimes for Arabic to grow on you.. If he is interested in getting some tobacco taste..

I would recommend Hangsen Churchill for your husband. It was my first juice ever, never touched another cigarette from that day forward. Cold turkey.

It does fill the description of what your looking for. Mild tobacco, slight soft fruit taste. It a definite winner to me but after Arabic it's just not strong enough anymore.... A break to unflavored and then going to Churchill would make it great again.
There are a lot of raisin & prune type tobaccos.

HS Gold and silver has a stronger fruit taste to it, supposedly cherries and cream. Pretty strong fruit side, strong juice but good tobacco note too.. Many say it's like a cigar, I taste the cherry cream side, though I don't taste cherries and cream. 3.33% max for me.

I think there was a inw that was plum. From HS there is one that I get purple from, that is HS Smooth. I described it as a plum taste I believe in my review.. Its a light tobacco with a distinctive purple taste to it. The flavor is modeled after silk cut brand, has a purple box.

I was hoping for an answer to this as well. I really enjoyed the NETs I tried that used Perique.

On a side note, isn't Latakia supposed to be fairly smoky in flavor? I mixed up a test batch of INW's Latakia and am not getting a smoky note at all. Could be that it's still fairly fresh and needs some time to steep but I was thinking that I would be at least a hint of smokiness even fresh.

I thought it was supposed to be smoky. I've got a sample mixed up, haven't tested it yet. I'll taste it tomorrow...was really hoping for smoky

Like I said, it may just need to steep further. I'm very impatient so I tend to sample, sample and then sample some more until... no more test batch and it "steeped" for a grand total of 5 or 6 days.

I have tried both and there is Noooo comparison. Love the NET. FA's version is good below 1%, otherwise it becomes too pungent.

Yeah, sort of what I expected. I'll probably pass on it.

I myself don't think chocolate on it's own is all that great but as an accent to tobacco or desert vapes it shines. But you need the right chocolate and use it at the right percentage. The best I've found for tobacco is this Chocolate at 1 - 2%. Used in a nutty, smokey or dry tobacco it adds nice body and reduces the tobaccos bite. In a good virginia NET it really brings out the tobaccos essence. I don't recommend it for an exotic, spicy or fruity tobacco

 

[victor6er]

I have a few friends that vape tobaccos exclusively who asked me to look into making them some juices after trying my usual 4 adv (castle long and grants clones, Andreas strawberry and cream, and honeysuckle. So bought a few tobacco 10 ml testers from bull city to mix 10 ml of each to steep a few weeks before I try em. Dark for pipe, black for pipe and Arabic. Mixed each at 8 mg Nic and 5% flavor. Love the smell of the black and Arabic but can't decide about the dark yet. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Thanks to all those who have been active in this thread, esp Danny!

I received a small jug of FA SOHO as a sample in a vapemail. I mixed up a 30ml at 5% on Feb 8. Gave it a small taste about a week later and it tasted to me kinda leathery, maybe more the smell than anything. Now almost a month later I tried it again and its going to end up on the shelf of shame...YUK now it tastes stale, like after umpteen refills of a atty, the juice finally just gets old tasting and the atty has to be broken down and cleaned. Thats the taste I get right from the get go, dumped it out to try to save the coil and now after a couple fills of a different juice the stale taste is still there and not going away....bleh.
So far I'm batting 90% with YUK tobacco flavors from other companies. The only tobacco flavor I like is a SC Cohiba but thats at 1.25% blended with a HS tobac, just enough cigar taste to be very nice but not overpower.
