Yes...RTS only has the one listed in the tobacco absolute area. I first started with a 10ml then a 30 and now with my last order I got the 120, so I should be good for a while.

I would put it all back together and shake it completely. Not too keen on putting the nic into the fridge but dividing it into smaller portions(50 or 100ml bottles) then freezing, so you only have a smaller bottle of cut, warm and ready to pour nic on the desk.

Usually it's mixed well from the vendor but to make sure and easy your mind I would combine it all and shake well. You can then re-bottle and store. I would keep out what you would use in 3 months and freeze the rest in glass bottles. NIC in PG/VG will not burst glass bottles it in fact shrinks when frozen so fill to about a half inch from the top, cap it then freeze.

Glad you like the hangsen line of tobaccos. I find them to be the best tobacco flavors around. You will not be disappointed with Hangsen.

As far as being a leech.....no such thing around here. If you don't ask questions you don't learn so ask away.

Thank you both! I'll definitely do that (pour out, re-shake and store).

And again - yes, so very impressed with this first mix. I did end up putting 2 drops of Garuda in this mix as well.

Having some issues with SC American Red. Mixed a text batch at 5%. Concentrate itself, and mixed liquid, smells wonderful. The vapor smells wonderful. It has great flavor on inhale. But it's leaving me with a nasty bitter metallic aftertaste on my tongue after exhale. I'm leaning towards too high %, but 5% works well with my other SC's. Before I mix another batch, does anybody have any wisdom to share regarding this specific concentrate?

Thanks!

My Hangsen Highway, Desert ship and No5 I mix 100mls at 5%, using a DIY magnetic mixer it mixes without nic for a couple hours as fast as it will spin without throwing the stirbar, let it sit overnight to dissipate all the air bubbles then add the nic and mix it much more slowly for bout a hour....month steep time before I even go near the mixes
My TA's are the same way, make 100mls 5% of both the garuda and RTS. I mix the INW Virginia at 2.5% since its mighty sweet at 5% and again the same mixing procedure as the tobacs. The RTS has black chunkies in it that seem to spin to the top of the mix and with a Qtip I fish out all the chunkies.
After I blend the tobacs and TA's they sit for at least another couple weeks while I'm using up the old stock. Using a scale and magnetic mixer makes the juice building enjoyable and not a chore that I have all kinds of syringes to wash.
Good luck and have fun with your mixing and most important don't turn something as simple as juice making into rocket science, use the KISS method and be a happy vaper.

I need one of these magnetic mixers but they aren't cheap and the reviews I looked at for the sub $100 ones were fairly mixed.

YouTube "DIY Magnetic Mixer" and there are many varieties you can make. I had the project box kicking around for years and lots of old comp parts so it was the price of the 12v automotive switch and a couple bucks for a 2nd hand fan controller I got from the local comp shop. A variable volt 12 volt power supply I was using but it was constricting with mixing speeds so I went hunting for a fan controller. I can mix up to 300ml in the right container without problem but 100mls, it mixes great. Score the comp fan blades and snap them off so there is no air restriction and it spins faster, past that some basic wiring and your mixing. I added a 12V LED light under the jar so it lights up the mix to regulate the speed easier by seeing it mix and a cheapo fasttech 12 volt display so spinning speed is shown in volts. Thick double sided tape has been holding the hard drive magnet to the fan for a year and half now, the tape makes it much easier when your trying to get the center of the fan so it doesn't vibrate while spinning. I use the 10, 15mm stirbars and I use most the 20mm stirbars. The 25mm is too big and gets easily thrown by my mixer(I'm assuming the HD magnet isn't big enough for the 25mm bar)

You using a new or fresh rebuilt coil. That will usually give you a metallic taste until the coil burns in. If coil is already burn in try reducing the wattage of your hardware or try mixing at a lower percentage. SC's recommended percent is usually 2 - 3%

So I just mixed up my 2nd batch. Only smell tested this far and it smells fantastic.

Still absolutely enjoying the heck outta the Highway I mixed last night.

Do you have your weights dialed into your calc? It looks like you going to have @60PG/40VG mix there and it might be a bit sharp to vape. I come with 6.3pg and 5vg or you prefer a higher PG ratio.

Correct. I don't like to go any higher than 50% vg. I usually like 60% pg - or even 70% pg.

I'm still strictly mouth to lung. Never got into lung hitting.

This is ridiculous. I feel like "where gas this stuff been the past 3.5 years???"

2/2 in being arguably my favorite vapes I've had in 3.5 years of vaping. And they were/are so incredibly easy to mix! All those to said Hangsen makes it easy for a quality vape are just spot on.

This is great!

I was lucky to find such goodness in hangsen tobac vapes in my early DIY days, highway was in my first concentrate buy and with a bit of research desert ship and No5 were quick to follow. Now find out how that desert ship can pop flavors out from MEH standalones. It pops my cola and grape flavors out and they are much better than vaping the single flavor standalone. I have no wanting to recreate some magical mix and have hundreds of flavors when its as simple as a hangsen tobac with just enough TA to ride the wave.

 

[aceswired]

Yes - I'm just sitting here blown away. I mean... My first mix and it's up there with some of my favorite juices.

I wanted to start out nice and easy/simple. Just one flavor and on the lighter end of the flavor mix. I'm very impressed. That was so easy to mix too. So darn easy.

Now I start to wonder where I go from here. I guess I gotta mix up some other simple flavors since I have so many. I'll just tuck this one away as an "approved" flavor for sure.

Awesome, glad it's going well. Tooting away on so my Highway myself....

I bought Virginia Tobacco Absolute & mix it with Hangsen Elder Captain & about 2% AP , thats as good as it gets to me .

Inawera Flavors


6th row down they have a few different types of Tobacco Absolutes

 

[stanleybb50]

Starting to wonder if I should make my own little thread with my thoughts each night. This is getting fun! A new fun flavor every night!

I loved the Desert ship last night and today. Kind of a light tobacco, with a subtle sweetness, and maybe a touch of raisin? I liked it for sure. Even by itself.

Now tonight, I'm still getting a taste for it.. But tonight (as seen below) is "Dark for Pipe" Inawera. The smell of the rum in the concentrate almost turned me off - but I actually at the same time liked that same strong smell of rum. Haha. That's about a 3.5% mix below.

I'll report back tomorrow. *All of these have probably 5ml left to try again after steeping too. All labeled nicely.

I'm keeping notes/etc as I go in the recipes too.

But seriously - should I start my own thread as sort of a blog somewhere? Or is it better right here?

*Edit. After trying I'm on the fence currently. Pretty strong. Sweet - I can picture a black tobacco with this just like the name. Maybe a little sticky too. Almost like a side chew. Haha. I can also taste the rum notes for sure. When I say on the fence, I might love it, or it might go the other way - haha.

Never had anything like it - that's for sure!

Still on the fence. Treat is a good word. As in maybe not an all day vape for me. But arguably I mixed it too strong.

I'll try to give it more time though. I'll bring my other Billet Box which is loaded up with Prime 15 currently if I need it.

Post here, make your own thread, or post to this older thread and bring it back to the first page. It's all good.
What are you making today.

Your in the tobacco flavoring discussion thread talking about tobacco and catching the ear of most if not all of the tobacco vaper's here on ECF. I see no reason to post anywhere else and besides I love success stories

The flavors of the dark for pipe will mellow just a bit and the distinct over powering sweetness will meld in with the other flavors over time. So if it don't agree with you now put it away for a few weeks and revisit it. You'll see a distinct improvement in it.
