Picked up the Vanilla for Pipe again this morning and I'm really liking this. It tastes like what I "thought" the Gold Ducat (which I still don't really care for) was going to taste like.

It's very sweet and smooth. I get more of a honey taste with a lite vanilla/tobacco background. It's actually too sweet for me so I added a little Rustica to the tank. Better, but next tank I'll try 50/50 with the rustica. I may also add a little to my Virginia/Rustica ADV.

When I first started mixing everything had to be sweet, to the point of adding stevia to all of my mixes. Now, almost 3 years later, barely sweet to not sweet at all work just fine for me. The fact that, at the time, I was on a strict no sugar diet may have had something to do with it. Had to buy the "next size up" blue jeans recently so may have to rethink the no sugar thing again and go back to the sweet vapes.

I bet you don't have drymouth no more nor drink gallons of water to stay hydrated and attempt to quench the unquenchable thirst you get with commercial juice. VG is sweet enough for my tobac mixes. I have to add a bit of cotton candy (.25%) to my fruit vapes to punch the flavors out a bit. My wife vapes a 4.5% Desert Ship with .75% cotton candy and its way too sweet for me.

I have my 32oz mug of hot tea (average 3-5 per day) and/or my 64oz mug of ice water with me at ALL times.

I had a saliva gland removed when I was very young and unless I'm constantly drinking something, or chewing gum, I get severe cotton mouth within minutes. When eating out I always ask for a carafe or at the very least 2 glasses of water (and usually get those refilled a few times).

For me, Vanilla for Pipe stand a lone reminds me of the smell of a cut pipe tobacco like Prince Albert. It also mixes well with several of my other flavors, including added vanilla and caramel for a Ry4 type. Here's one of my favorite cherry pipe mixes. Probably too sweet for some but I have a huge sweet tooth.

Ina Vanilla for Pipe 3%
TFA Dk Tobacco 1%
Ina Wisnia Cherry 2%
TFA Vanilla Swirl 1%
TFA Sweetener .5%

That does look good. Very sweet, but good.

Mixed this up 2 days ago, 4.5 hours in crocpot @ 150 degrees first day...

INW Garuda 4%
INW Gozdziki 1.2%
INW Shisha Brandy Cocoa 1.5%
FA Oakwood .75%

I'll probably knock some percentages down next time but this is a lovely vape. The clove is strong so I'll probably take it back down at least. Not getting a whole lot of baccy, more steep will probably bring that forward, problem is it won't get to steep...

I'm not sure if it's due to a couple extra days steeping, or switching to Rayon or both, but suddenly this clove vape is just awesome. The tobacco comes through, strong but not overpowering the clove and brandy. I'm not sure anything needs altered. It's insanely good (strong flavor though but I think I dig it like that)

Same deal, different recipe...this one is suddenly awesome as well:

INW Garuda 3%
Molinberry Glamour Chocolate 6%
FA Bourbon Vanilla .5%
FA Vienna Cream .5%

I call that one Nakchakwak
Delicious...very tobacco-ey with a smooth chocolate finish that tastes amazing. No taste of vanilla or vienna, I think those are just serving to make the chocolate creamier and taste more like chocolate (that was the intent, anyway, seems to work fine)

I'm probably gonna mix up big batches of each later today or tomorrow. They're awesome. If anyone has any thoughts or recommendations as you look at these please feel free. They're my first recipe adventures really.

I really need to play with EM and AP I have them both. Think I'll add .5-1% EM to my Dark for Pipe mix next time to try it out. I wonder if AP would work well with the clove/brandy/cig vape (I'm calling that one Dr. Sloth's Infectious Scorbutitis )...

 

[Kingboomer]

@emotionalstabilitysloth my thought is that I need to order some more flavors . Thanks for posting these man!

Have to say, I'm really liking the ECX Red Demon tobacco. For those that want a bit of chocolate and coconut in the mix, this flavor is the ticket.

 

[nostradadus]

Saw your post and been wanting to try a few of those flavors. My order from ECX today:

555 by FW
555 by FE
Captain
Yuxi
Huangguoshu
Haorizi
Honghe
Hongjinlong
Hongtashan
Premium Tobacco by FE (premix w/ good review)

Still trying to nail down a recipe I've been chasing for while, hoping one of these gets me on track.

What'd ya think about the ECX choices you made?

For my taste, some of the Chinese cig flavors were bordering a little too much on the floral side of things. I'm not much of a floral fan.

Say what??? Easy for you to say! The Sloth is speakin' Hacksaw on us, methinks.

Yeal I'd say go slow on both of those. I can ruin a mix in a heart beat with either one of them, plus, for me, both tend to mute high notes. They're worth checking out though, just at low percents.

I personally have no use for EM. AP is a good addition to a lot of mixes though.

EM is good to add body and thickness to a mix and it helps to blend flavors at small percentages but it's not good at sweetening it in fact at high percentages will mute flavor. For sweetening a regular sweetener like splenda or sucarlos is better. EM will enhance sweetness of an already sweet flavor but will not add sweetness. A good way to prove this point is to add 1% sweetener to a not already sweet mix then sample it then add .5% EM and taste again and you will notice the sweetness has improved. But add just 1% EM to a not sweet vape and you will notice no great sweetness and the main flavor will reduce a bit.
AP is one of my favorite additives but you have to like nutty flavors. Some just don't like nutty tobaccos..

 

[JD1]

What Danny said, except to add that for me, AP has sort of a bready type thing going on as well. I like it sometimes but sometimes I prefer to use other nut flavors such as TFA Roasted Almond.

I ran out of toasted almond last week and I'm a tad bummed I let myself slip like that.

Don't have the Red Demon but I do have TFA chocolate and Hangsen coconut. I feel a little mixing session coming on lol. I don't think I've tried that combo yet.

I'm really enjoying most of these tobacco flavorings solo. I've experimented with a few mixes but for the most part they stand on their own. Dark for Pipe, French Pipe (HS), Arabic (HS), 555 Gold, French Pipe (INW) and Nutty Princess are all very tasty. I'm keeping an eye on BCV to see if Indian (HS) comes back in stock. I'm also tempted to give some of the ECX tobacco flavorings a try.

I really would like to find a tobacco flavoring that tastes like a pipe shop smells (or what I remember it smelling like as a child). I tried a few NETs trying to find that flavor but wasn't successful. Cavendish was always suggested to me but it isn't quite the flavor I'm after. If anyone has suggestions for something like this I'd really appreciate it.

I haven't been in too many tobacco shops but, as I remember, the last one I was in had a very light odor that was more like chewing tobacco than smoking tobacco for some reason. I'm guessing that's not what you mean though lol.

I'm not sure they'd be what you're looking for, but I'd say try some of the SC flavors from BC. I have and like Cohiba, French Pipe, Cigar, Real Cig, and Virginia Flue Cured. For me, they're all authentic, great tobacco flavors. Cohiba is a good broad leaf tobacco type, French Pipe is to die for, Cigar is like an old stoggy, Real Cig like a marl including the ash (a bit too much ash for me actually), and Virginia Flue Cured just like a flue cured should be down to the sweetened sour note.

Edit to add: Be sure you like fairly deep hay/grass notes though. All the SC flavors I have has that.

I've found Inawera AM4A gives a pretty true tobacco flavor and aroma. to my senses the flavor is pretty close to the smell you describe (I think)

You beat me to the punch on the Am4a suggestion!

This INW flavor was the first ever tobacco concentrate which I found that was perfect as a stand alone mix; 3.5% is my sweet spot. It does help if you give it at least a 2 week steep; mellows nicely.

I like it just a bit more with .5% or so INW DNB or FA Black Fire included.
