triacetin

Will give a mix that soda pop fizz unfortunitly TFA no longer carries it. Some taste it at 1 - 2% others need 10 or more percent so always start low and work up.
Some have tried the blueberry candy and said it worked like triacetin but I myself haven't so your on your own with that.

nutty musty earthy powdery cocoa roasted peanut

This is a good additive to add that nutty, musty almost fruity chocolate note when cloning halo prime, tribeca and torque.

methylbutyr aldehyde

As described on TFA
taste description: Musty and rummy, with nutty and cereal notes - caramel and fruity undernotes

(Mosciano, Gerard- Perfumer & Flavorist 23, No. 1, 33, (1998))
Perfumers Apprentice - Methylbutyraldehyde 1% (PG)

Also a good additive to add that nutty, musty almost fruity chocolate note when cloning halo prime, tribeca and torque. This is just a little breadier and drier then the above but with a rummy exotic note

Both the formentioned are knock your socks off powerful stuff so start at 1/4 to a half percent.

 

Gold & Silver is quickly becoming one of my ADV's. It has a slight cubanish cigar note with a touch of ash to it. Strong and bright vape unlike most of the cuban's I've tried.

The virginia is awesome with 1 - 2% virginia TA and half a percent of EM.

In fact half a percent of EM added to any tobacco mix will thicken and add body to the mix without adding sweetness. At that percent it will actually bring out the tobacco taste.

See look at that I'm actually giving away my little secrets

 

I also use it at 8%. This mix NEEDS 2 - 3 weeks steeping so try letting it steep for 2 weeks and see if it improves. That should bring out the flavor. I also use 2% rustica TA in it. Also try adding half a percent of EM. BUT most importantly you need to steep it.

 

I would assume any high quality virginia TA will work. I presently use TFA virginia that I bought just before they stopped selling it.

 

That should be plenty of time. I would have to wonder about the quality of the hangsen flavoring then. I know ECX hangsen has been a dud for many and RTS does sometimes have a bad run with flavoring once in a while.. I use hangsen in the original bottles from bullcity or buyhangsen.com.

rustica TA is this
http://www.wingedseed.com/15322/TOBACCO+ABSOLUTE.html
use it to create a 10% concentrate solution in PG/PGA then add 2% of that concentrate to your mix.

For example

4.5ml PG
4.5ml PGA
1ml TA

Add 2% of that concentrate to your mix.

The TA will be delivered to your door as a waxie like paste. You'll need to warm it to thin it then measure out 1ml and add it to that 9ml base. After you make your concentrate you'll need to steep it in hot water for 2 hours not so much to mature it but to completely mix and desolve it. I found 2 hours in an ultrasonic cleaner perfect. I found that 2 - 3% of that concentrate added to your mix perfect.

 

That's a really good absolute. In fact if you go to there site you will see my review of it right on there selling page.

Almost. I evaluated mothers milk TA using 3% of a 10% solution on it's own in an 85VG/15pg base which I thinned just enough to get it to wick properly with saline.. I wanted to see if high VG would mute taste with no steeping and I must say there was no difference between that and a 50/50 which impressed me. 10% may be just a tad to high for my taste.

 

Johnny you make me want to break out my long packed up flavors and have a go at it.... Nice recipes indeed. That tobacco pear sounds like a nice sitting pool side while dangling your feet in the water type vape. Summers not to far off....

 

So how long have you've been off those stinkies (cigarettes) now?
