I want to take advantage of Gourmet Vapor's 60% off sale. I want to make my own cigar and pipe flavors. For cigar I was thinking Cuban and Dark, and for pipe I was thinking Latakia and Turkish. I was going to do my take on cherry cigar and french pipe.

If you guys with some FA experience have suggestions for flavors or ratios, I would be very grateful. TIA

I'd add some Virginia there as it is really good at adding a depth to cigar and pipe flavors. I use it as a core tobacco taste and add the others you mentioned to make nice blended tobacco flavors.

Dark Vapure and Cuban are staples in my collection for cigar flavors.

I use Burley like a spice many times when working up blends.

Really depends on which way you want to go as the flavors you have listed are fine on their own. I just like going with more complex blends as a standard course.

I use 'em all. 12 - 14% seems like the sweet spot. BTW I add 3% Ehtyl Maltol to take away the dryness without adding "sweetness" perse. It rounds out the vape beautifully.

Wow! I should be receiving a bunch of those FA flavors any day but I thought I had read someplace that FA's tobacco and some other flavors are very strong and should be used at around 2-4%. Glad I read this so that as I start working my way up I won't think I'm crazy if I find I need to get that high.
Has anyone found the tipping point (too much and it turn nasty) on these tobacco flavors? How high (if needed) can you go?

Thanks

Oh... BTW, Have any of you tried that MTS Vape Wizard in your mixes? Is it worth experimenting with?

Edit: Vapestein - I must be missing somthing cause I don't see FA flavorings on there web site. Where are they?

I am just talking about using their e-liquid creator to mix up a couple of blends while they are running the 60% off special. From what I gather on ECF, and from the looks of their tobacco flavorings, they use FA.

I've used my FA tobaccos at 8% with success. I've heard good things about MTS :)

Sounds like I might need to buy some of this stuff. Thanks

Shaweeeet! I have been experimenting with some of these FA tobacco flavors and I made up a great batch! Man.. I'm liking this FA stuff. Here's what I made up and notice how low the % is of the tobacco flavor I used. I don't dare to go higher as these puppies seem very strong to me. Wow. I'm one happy camper! Made up 4 other batches using some other flavors but I need to let them steep for a bit before I report back on them.


3ml batch 70/30 at 23 mg
Perique Black (FA) ---------2%
Caramel original (TPA) -----7%
EM -----------------------6%
