In all reality I may be confusing nuttiness with funk, but IMHO they go hand in hand.

Funk to me is like the after taste you get from putting a dry piece of cloth into your mouth

Or maybe a dirty sock

Oops, sorry... To me, a "funky" smell is musty or moldy, e.g. funky cheese, funky cellar, etc. As distinct from funky music or fashion, as in cool or chic. Interesting to see such divergent meanings depending on the subject. Found US slang reference applied to tobacco smoke and defined as "a strong foul odor". Might be the word sense Kingboomer was after; I could see using it for the likes of INW's Gold Doucat, TFA's M-Type, etc.
That's exactly the type of funk I'm after.
When I say "funk," I mean a flavor that sort of pops out apart from the rest of the profile. Something potent and different. Often, when I taste it for the first time, I dislike it. It's only as I come to know it that I like it. HS Desert Ship has that funk. First time I tasted it, I thought ... ugg. Then it became a unique part of the profile that I craved, and that made it different. Same with Gold for Pipe.
I think in the long run, a tobacco needs a little funk to prevent it from becoming boring to me. For me, it's what keeps a flavor from growing bland.

My use of funk translates to "What is that awful funky taste" My dog don't even like it. Shes licking her .... just to get the taste out of her mouth
I guess I'm just old school.
Hi everyone,
First, let me say I know nothing about tobacco diy. I am looking for a 555 blend flavor for my neighbor and I have read a little of this thread but it is quite long(lol). He likes an ejuice that provape puts out called White Horse and its description says 555 plus carmael and nuts. But I have looked a few places and cannot find a 555 tobacco flavor. Is it a blend of flavors or is there an actual flavor called 555? Can anyone point the way? And possibly suggest good starting %'s. I would appreciate any help you can give.
Thanks

Hangsen Highway is a very good 555 type flavor imo. I like it at 4% but I've seen posts from 2% to 7%. I'd say start low and work up. Hangsen No.5 is another 555 type that gets good reviews but I haven't tried it yet. I'd also suggest picking up some TFA Acetyl Pyrazine to bump up the nut flavor or for adding a nut flavor to other mixes. For caramel, I like TFA Caramel and Caramel Candy mixed. They're both good by themselves but better mixed imo. FA and Inawera Caramels are also good.
In case you haven't tried it, I'd also suggest getting some vanilla for a Ry4 type mix as well. Inawera Shisha Vanilla has been getting good reviews, see above.
555 type mix with caramel.
Hangsen Highway 4%
Caramel 2%
AP (Acetyl Pyrazine) 1 drop per 5ml
Add 2 or 3 percent Vanilla to the above for a Ry4 type mix.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
Edit to add: I've never tried White Horse so I have no idea how the above would compare to it. Also, if you don't have some already, I'd suggest picking up some TFA sweetener just in case. But then again, I have a huge sweet tooth lol.

Try Hangsen Highway or FA Glory. Two excellent 555 types.Hi everyone,

Thank you so much. I will let you know how it turns out.
If you're looking for Turkish tobacco, Sahara from HS is the one. You can add the nutty taste with AP, or either hazelnut or peanut.
Sahara? Has that slipped under my radar all this time? Or is that another name for Turkish?

Did you ever try out the brown sugar with Arabic?
I'm in a mixing mood today - highly medicated from having dental surgery on my jawbone, again - so in a funky mood. My thoughts are
Arabic - 1.5%
Brown Sugar - 3% (this seems the norm I have settled on throughout all my potions)
AP 2% (again - this amount works for me)
Vanilla Swirl 2% - wish I had another straight up vanilla - I'm still searching even though I have many vanilla flavors - (I am ordering the INW shisha vanilla this weekend based on Slothy's recommendation!)
This will be a base sort of mix for me. I plan to add TFA DX Peanut Butter 8% to 30ml of this. I also want to try some chocolate. The only chocolate I have no hand is TFA Chocolate (the clear one). It's good for me at low percentage so thinking 1% as I only want a hint as to make the Arabic mixture have some depth. I have a chocolate/coconut/almond candy bar I just found in my flavor box! Hrm...never used this before but its strong smelling! I know I never ordered this - freebie? Oh the possibilities!
I've use Bourbon and vanilla bourbon in place of vanilla swirl and I don't care for it.
I think we have different tastes based on your vanilla preferences so far but shisha vanilla is worth a shot.it's strong btw. Thats one reason i like it. It can standout and be noticed where some others just arent that noticeable with other strong flavors
Yes, I think this is why I want to get some. Normally, my vanilla is only there to smooth or create a mouth feel - but Arabic is very strong flavor and I think I want the vanilla to be more pronounced than to simply serve as a binder bring all other flavors together.
Well put. I think you'll dig the shisha vanilla, then. I mixed some into a dark for pipe mix and it is very noticeable. In terms of taste, it's sort of custardy but not really - just thick, creamy vanilla. Almost definitely has diacetyl or some diketones but when it tastes this good and is used at such low percentages, oh well
I never did mind the little things - Now that I DIY I don't really stress about the baddies in the flavoring. As you said, I know how much I use and at that percentage, it doesn't bother me
