I just bought a bunch of flavors for myself as a christmas present.
Does anyone use any of the following flavors. If so then at what percentages?
Any combination suggestions?

Fruits/Sweets/Drinks-
Mocha(TFA)
Vanillin 10%(TFA)
Honey(TFA) - Makes a good tobacco additive, especially with the tobacco absolute, requires steeping.
Black Tea(TFA)
Peach Flavor(TFA)
Blueberry Wild(TFA)
French Vanilla(TFA)
Sweet Cream(TFA)
Maraschino Cherry(TFA) - Good at 3-4% Sweet, fruity

Chocolate(LA)

Tobaccos-
Acetyl Pyrazine(TFA) - 1 drop/10mL
Flue Cured(TFA) - Woodsy/smoky
RY4 Type-1(TFA) - Minty/fruity
tobacco(TFA)
Tobacco Absolute(TFA) - Good additive. Strong, hay-like. 1-2 drops/10mL
Black Honey Tobacco(TFA) 3-4% Good with French vanilla

Captain Black tobacco(SM) - Good additive, Pipe tobacco-ish
Commercial Tobacco(SM) - 2-4%
English Tobacco(SM) - ~3%, Fruity, May be good with a robust tobac/TA.

IMO (YMMV) the Captain black is very good additive to any tobacco- IF you like a pipe type vape. (which I do at times) the Tobacco Absolute (not sure IF it's the tar like concentrate or not???) is strong, adds a hay like quality that many love (myself included) though that isn't a very good description LOL it's nice addition to many tobaccos IMO dilute with about 10 mg PG per drop of TA (two IF you feel "lucky" LOL) add some EM (also dissolved in PG) for a very nice (IMO) addition. I keep a bottle of about 10 MG "premixed" at all times LOL.

I'm not fond of the RY4 , the RY 4 "Double" and "RY4 Asian" are much better to my palate YMMV as we know "tastes are so subjective" . The BHT (TFA) is quite good IMO, the only one I've found that doesn't have the "cat pee odor/taste" YMMV start @ 3% or so and sample, it seems to get much stronger after about a week or so to MY palate.

Out of those:

The English is very fruity, but a good mixer to say, a rougher flavored tobacco, and, if you like it. It reminds me of a Pina Colada-esque flavor. I've had it at 3%. It might go good with the tobacco absolute, but, I've never had TA, so I dunno.

I agree with Jim for the Black Honey Tobacco. I usually use it at 4%, and mix it with 10% French Vanilla. Sweet Cream might be a good mixer with this tobacco as well.

I'm not a big fan of the Commercial Tobacco, even after letting it steep for weeks. Then again, I mixed it at 5%, it might be more tolerable at a lower %, or if mixed with something else.

I've read that the honey is a great mixture flavor, especially with the tobacco absolute, but I already read that it requires a good week or so to get rid of the perfumey flavor.

I have the Acetyl Pyrazine, but I'm afraid to try it, lol. It's powerful! And it smells like BWB's Casablanca, and I don't know if I'm ready to go down that road, or not :D

I don't know about the Wild Blueberry, but Blueberry Extra is one of my favorite flavors. I like it straight, at 10%.

I have that Black Tea coming in soon, too. Do let me know what you think of it!

That LA Chocolate is a funny flavor. Some love it, some meh. I'm more in the meh category. It smells wonderful, like tootsie rolls, but the flavor? Well, it's lacking, imo.

The black tea smells very lemony.

I'm a big fan of blueberry myself and imo the blueberry wild smells best out of all the blueberries. I haven't tried it yet, I'll let you know when I do.
The Acetyl Pyrazine smells nasty. It smells exactly like 555.5 from w2v. It was the worst juice I have ever tried. If I ever use it I will add no more than 1 drop per 10mL

The tobacco absolute I have is the 50% diluted in PGA. I use that bottle (it is a 10ml sized one) and add 4 drops to a 10ml bottle of 10% Ethyl maltol diluted in pg. Let steep about a week and then use this mixture at 1% or less in addition to other tobaccos in most recipes. It is best to start light handed. You might even like it alone. Try putting just 2 drops (of the TA/EM mixture) per 5ml base and steep for a week and try it.
