Flavor Apprentice M-Type

[sparkyth67]

I bought some flavor apprentice M-type flavor from one stop diy shop and tried it at 5% but it was just too strong and perfumey so I cut it down to even 1 % and still it is very strong. I read a review on perfumers apprentice website of M-Type and one person recommended mixing at 8% for a good tobacco base so I am wondering if I am missing something

I have that flavor too and mixed at 1% and I can't seem to get past the smell, much less the taste. It's just too much of something perfumey and not for me.

Linda I mixed some using 8% with just pg then took that and mixed some at 2% with 60% vg 40% pg it was somewhat better not quite as strong but still perfumey

Hmmmm.....that's interesting. I might pull it back out of my "don't like" stash and play some more. My problem is, I think it stinks and I can't stand to uncap it to experiment with it. I've yet to find a flavor that I like if I can't get past the smell. If something doesn't pass the "nose" test for me, I usually set it aside and move on. That one didn't pass the test but I still mixed some and tried it and the taste was as bad to me as the smell.

I cant seem to get the hang of it either, even at %1, I really want to like this but Im losing hope.

i havnt used mtype but other tobaccos I have tried from them had to sit for a couple days to get rid of that perfumery/alcohol smell/taste.

Tastes like soap to me. No matter how long I let it steep or what percentage I use, all I get is a soapy taste.

I got some after reading the reviews at PA. First thing I did when I got was to try the recipe mentioned in the review (the one that calls for 8%). I thought that seemed really high, but I've read a few times where people say that some tobaccos taste really good to them at higher percentages, and decided to give it a shot... Tasted really bad IMO. Tons of citrus/floral taste, no tobacco taste - and that was after a week of sitting. After two weeks, it's no better. I haven't even had the urge to try it again at a lower percentage.

I haven't been able to do any tobacco imitating flavors from Flavor Art -- can't get past the horrible smell and taste- perfumey super floral or wet moldy hay smell. As a matter of fact, I have a 10 ml Virginia I am looking to trade and clear coffee-YUCK. I do tolerate the Flavor West Chocolate Tobacco and Vanilla Tobacco fairly well with a little sweetener. My husband likes The Flavor West Cherry Balsam tobacco too with a little sweetener. Flavor West is weaker and won't choke you with a perfume taste and smell. My husband does like the Cowboy and Mellow Tobacco from Flavor Art. I was so trepidatious I never even bought this M Type.

 

[Leothwyn]

I'll have to try the Flavor West. I don't like the M Type at all, but the Tobacco Blend from PA is pretty good. It doesn't seem to have the perfume/floral thing happening. I like to mix it with things like chocolate or vanilla. I have the diluted (PG) one.

One drop of m-type every 10 milliliters is fine for me

 

[Chopper71]

I have the M-Type as well and well it should be called choke and puke IMO.So now I just use Seedmans commercial with TA and no problem.I will trade my M-Type for some Cuban.

I had the same problems as well , but as soon as I stopped using it as a base , and started using it as an additive , it all fell into place. On its own , it has an almost overpowering Hazelnut / perfumey flavour , which is basically unpleasant. Try 1 drop in a 20ml batch of a rather bland tobacco mix , and it gives it a major lift . You could also try diluting it first with PG or VG , then using 1 or 2 drops in your mix. I just wish all flavour bases were this potent !!

You are absolutely right about that.. This chemical is mostly used for: (E,E/E,Z)-tobacco cyclohexenone 13215-88-8

 

[ToweKnee]

Yep this stuff is super ICKY!! Just like what everyone esle has said I dont know If I could add anymore negative reviews on this. Anyone tried adding this to their Tobacco concentrate?

 

[Tona Aspsusa]

Oh, I'm glad that I didn't read this thread before...

I just on a whim opened my bottle of M-type and took a sniff, and decided on the spot that I must test it!

Anyone tried adding this to their Tobacco concentrate?

Don't have my notes here beside me now, but what I did was mix half and half of the juice I just made based on my own extraction (12mg/ml added nic) and flavourless 14mg/ml PG/VG (roughly 50/50) and then to that I added 3 drops of M-type.

It's steeping now, we'll see.

I really liked the smell of the M-type when I opened it; nutty, peanuts, sweetness, maybe a bit butter or very mild tahini or something (ie nuts+fat)?
Didn't get the perfume-soap at all - but now I'm afraid, because on vaping that horrible horrible smell/taste has surprised me a few times.

 

[Taintedhalo]

I too just couldn't like this flavor no matter what I tried. Its now in my box of to be traded.

 

[Chopper71]

I made a batch of m-type and its been steeping for over a month.Still has that foul perfume smell and taste.I think the only way to make this stuff good for anything.Is to flush it down the toilet so it will clean the septic.No more tobacco's from TPA for me except TA which I do love.

 

[Jimi D.]

Yeah, that stuff is foul... I was thinking of making some shampoo for the dog, with it.. Might kill fleas..
