Tried another SC flavor, Mild 7, and thought I'd share my thoughts. Fresh, thought it was nasty. Had a perfume like taste to it as well as being a little too sweet for my liking. After 2 weeks, the perfume funk has left the building (in an Elvis mood) and the sweetness has toned down. I now get a smokey, slight nutty, and slightly sweet cigarette style vape. I also get a very slight almost licorice note at the end of the exhale which surprisingly, I don't mind (generally do not like that note when it dominates a mix); it kinda ties the mix together. Mixed at 3% I find it to be very enjoyable at 2 weeks.

Thats true of a lot of INW but many are good right away. Fresh D4P tastes heavy of rum, which fades with the steep. Like kingboomer, a long steep makes it very ashy for me. I like it fresh when i taste a lot of rum and oak.
I vaped the D4P after almost two weeks of steeping, and it was way too ashy for me. Two problems with this though: I mixed it at 7% like I do with the Hangsen's (it was way too strong), and I let it sit for 2 weeks. Will try again at lower percentage and as shake and vape.

I tried the am4ra tonight (mixed at 4%) and I liked it. The smell out of the bottle is no good - way too perfumey - but it tastes pretty dang good.

Oh my, yes 7 percent is double what I've heard anyone else doing. Dilute it with at least equal part base and retaste. Should be good straight away.

Omg FA cowboy is sweet to you???

I get no sweetness at all from it..just raw cigarette tobacco.

Taste is really subjective..

It was in the first week or two. Now that it's had almost a month to steep the tobacco element has bloomed and tobacco has come to the forefront. I've learned not to trash juice until it's been at least 6 to 8 weeks. Lots of juices are nothing like they end up after time. Sweetness takes the forefront early on.

Cowboy is more like a roll-up now. My HS Arabic and Turkish were sweet early on when I taste tested them. After almost a month they are taking on a distinct tobacco scent. Most sweetness tends to give way to something better, so I don't usually begin to vape tobacco juices until the 4th week.

I'm starting to vape my 11-25-16 batch now. I'm almost finished with the September and October batches. Last week's batch is beginning to turn a nice shade of light gold.

I need to experiment with some candy, confection, and other food juices. It would be nice to have something tasty when tobacco flavors start to get old.

I used to think the same way. Then I realized that I didnt really care to vape any of that, and I just needed more variety in tobaccos....

Early on in my vaping I liked things like English Toffee and some caramel juices. That led to an affinity for RY4. Now, I'm more of a tobacco flavor guy. Some are good and some not so. Ashy tobaccos are just bases for me to add something else to.

I have somewhere around 40-50 concentrated flavors (mostly tobacco types) and still building. Some around here have 300 flavors in their collections!

My target is to find 10 or 15 that I like and continue on with those. I do about six 50ml bottles a month of juices and one 120ml bottle of unflavored nic.

Just mixed up some

Inawera Virginia tobacco absolute @ 2% with some vanilla for pipe @1% and FA desert ship @ 1%

It's good right after mixing. I rate it a 3/5 because it's missing something I can't seem to figure it out..maybe it needs a little cream..idk..any help would be great.

If a person doesn't like nutty vapes they will hate AP. If they love nutty vapes they usually like it. But knowing how to use it is the key. To much and you have a burn corn chip taste. using just the right amount gives a nice nutty note. This is one of those instances where the phrase "taste is very subjective" kinda fits:)

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and will have a great New Year..
