That sounds really good. Don't have the hazelnut but will substitute almond. Inw s'camel will be just fine it's one of my usual tobaccos along with the indian. I think this will be first on my list of experimenting this weekend.
What kind of almond do you use? I'm having a hard time finding one that I don't find downright horrible - I've tried Toasted Almond from Cap and TFA, and FA Almond - didn't like a one of 'em.

I use AP quite frequently in my mixes. My favorite nut flavor is Hazelnut (TFA and FW are different but both are good), and INW Walnut. I'm still working with Peanut Butter to get it close to my satisfaction, so far I've found it very strong and dry.
I'll need to try the TFA Hazelnut. I have the SC Hazelnut and it's not a very accurate hazelnut for me.

I like Hangsen Peanut Butter over TFA. The Hangsen is weaker and still not totally acurate, but close enough in smaller percents to add a hint of smooth peanut butter to the mix.

I like many of Hangen's flavors, many of their tobaccos are fantastic and I like their vanilla quite a bit. I will put the Peanut Butter on my wish list for future reference. Thank you.

Danny, try this as a guideline - I really like this, but it's 17% flavor. Adjust to your preferred target level

HA Indian - 3.5%
FA Fig - 3% (no more than this or it takes over)
FA Honey - 1% (I use 2% but I don't taste anything weird with honey like everybody else does)
FA Catalan Cream - 2%
TFA Brown Sugar Extra - 2%
TFA Hazelnut - 1.5%
INW S'Camel - 1.5% (to smooth out tobacco notes, can sub HA Desert Ship it's very similar)
Damn, that seems like it'd be tasty. I'm missing the Hazelnut and Brown Sugar Extra, though. Wish I'd seen this before I made my order with BCV earlier lol.

I use a natural almond extract bought at the supermarket. I reduced the alcohol content by 80% by heating it to 140F and letting it evaporate out and it made a decent flavoring at 2 - 3%. It was the generic Shoprite brand (99 cents per 1oz bottle on sale reduced down to about 6ML's after heating). If your looking for a sweet almond this is not it. This is a pure almond nutty taste.

Just received another prototype from FLV

Well, with the #6 tobacco prototype, Flavorah has created a concentrate which mimics a N.E.T. just about perfectly!

I mixed up three test batches of the #6 prototype last night; at 1%, 2% and 3%, figuring I was going to let them steep for a week or two before testing. When I was making the 2% batch, I screwed up and added a drop or two more than was needed, so I put that sample aside and made another one, true to the 2%.

Instead of just ditching the mistake 2% batch, I put it on a dripper just to see how it tasted.....and BAM! I thought to myself.....I'll never have to make my own NET again! It's right here in this bottle!

My first impression is that the #6 prototype lends itself to being a beautiful marriage of leaves which make up a fine cigar! Nicaraguan maduro, Habano Ecuador ligero, Honduran grown Cuban-seed leaf.....Whatever it is, the result is a fantastic combination which produces a wonderful cigar NET like vape!

Slap me silly, but this is what the #6 prototype tasted like after a quick shake and vape! There's no telling what it will taste like after sitting on the steep shelf for a month or six! I'm vaping some right now at a ratio of 50pg/50vg, 2 grams concentrate with 6mg nicotine. I could swear I was vaping some of Clay's cigar NET from Naturally Extracted Tobacco (dot) Com.

It will be a while before these prototypes will be released to the public, but keep your eyes on Flavorah, they're soon to have some top quality tobacco concentrates on the market.

I get tired of coil fouling.

That subject will be in my next post concerning the FLV #6. After I vape through a few tanks at varying percentages in the mix and power settings on various mods, I'll know whether or not to keep jumping up and down. ;)

.....it would be nice, but sometimes we can have everything we want. But, I know having a NET flavored concentrate minus coil gunk would be pretty high on my list!

When I said DIY I meant from concentrate, I DIY NETs as well.

Keep us posted on the cleanliness of the liquid, I'm very interested.

Question on BCV's Red for Pipe. Is this cherry flavored or not? The description says so, but we know they pasted the wrong description for Gold, so that's no given. Reviews on a few other sites make no mention of cherry in the red. There are separate Cherry for Pipe and Black Cherry for Pipe flavors as well.

Anyone know? I don't want cherry, but would add it to the cart if it's another straight tobacco.

I don't have that INW yet. To me, "Red" in a tobacco name generally implies Marlboro, not cherry. However, I'm having trouble imagining "Marlboro for Pipe". I haven't seen that description used anywhere else, though.

Personally, I'd just toss it in the cart and try for myself, then post here about it. If you don't want to do that, just ask BCV. Their customer service is outstanding.

Reviews on other sites described it as oriental tobaccos. I just don't want more useless flavors. I've accumulated too many already. :)

Oddly enough, I have had many of the fruits you guys mentioned above and never had the time to try them. It might be time to take them out of storage ...

Added a couple of drops of FA apricot to a tank of Red USA mix and it's nice.
