try the TFA Toasted Almond, 15%- off the hook good

I was eyeballing that but didn't add it to my cart. :oops: I'm thinking about some Hangsen's Tobaccos next. Getting into tobacco a lot recently. I'm sure I'll be making an order at TFA sooner or later. I'm not done putting their kids through college.

Have a question that popped, i do know wat steeping is and all but are there any companies better than others just as soon as you do a mix?

Reason I ask Is I don't really want to rely on steeping at all if I can.

I'm not 100% about answering your question as I've only managed to buy from one vendor so far but from what I have bought I've noticed if the flavor smells like it should taste it doesn't need much steeping. For example if you get a peach flavor that smells just like peach you can vape it right away. If you make a batch and vape it for 3 days you will notice the flavor changes so it could benefit from a 48-72 hour steep to see what the final "strength" will be.

Other flavors like tobacco flavors can be steeped for over a month. Different tobacco flavors will taste OK at 48 hours, some better at a month. It also depends on what you blend it with.

As far as DIY goes the only advise I can give is jump in. Find recipes that sound good to you. E-Liquid Recipes then buy those flavors and experiment. That's all you can do (like the Audioslave song). Good luck. You are in the right place. Everyone here can help. Get your feet wet!

If you don't want to steep raise the PG and stay away from Creams, Tobacco's, Chocolates and multi flavor mixes.

just tried my first hansen flavoring the other day, Tab Blended, supposed to be a clone of hangsen dk-tab, and it tasted good right away at 12%, maximum VG and no additives. i may bump it up to 14% next time to make it a little more like hansen's.

that is how I look at it also- the flavors and combos that Michaelsil1 pointed out do need a steep- other flavors you can get away with a shake and vape,

as for organic vs non-organic concentrates I tend to like the non organics better............. seems you get a better flavor from Hangsen, TFA, or Flavour Art
