FlavourArt Virginia Tobacco Flavoring??

[sandyk]

Anyone tried it? How good is it? What proportions are you using to get a good flavor??

Just ordered some from Happy Vapor.....trying to get off the nic!

If not Virginia, what other tobacco flavor have you tried from Happy Vapor??

 

[smonomo]

Mine should be in any day now, the suspense is killing me .. I'll be starting out with the recommended 1%

 

[sandyk]

me too.....I love Virginia....and Seedman's just doesn't cut it for me.

I don't use tobacco flavours much myself anymore but we got the Virginia and Burley from happyvaper and my fiance likes them both. IIRC he said the Burley was a little milder/sweeter. They are strong though so definitely start with a very low % and then add more if necessary. I added too much the first time I mixed it and when he took a puff I could smell it all the way across the room! 8-o

Thanks MetalPrincess..........you are getting me excited about it...Do you recall the ratio...eliquid ml versus drops of Virginia? I also ordered the Vape Wizard also. Happy Vapor has a 20% off sale till the 1st of the year. Not bad prices considering US money is less than Canadian.

sandy, what I'm going to do is make 5ml diluted premixes of the flavors, so that I can make small batches, otherwise it's going to be 100 drops (4-5ml) to 1 drop of flavor. I just have to do the math to figure out how many drops I want to put in the 5ml premix.

 

[sandyk]

would you please pm me with your results so I don't waste any PG/VG? I would appreciate it. I am trying to go no nic or at least very low nic so that is why I am looking for the tobacco flavor.

I have several of the Flavourart tobacco flavors with the remainder on their way. The Virginia reminds me somewhat of a Marlboro Light, but with some grassy or hay tones.

I've ended up not liking the Virginia by itself (too bland for *me*) but use it as a mix with other tobacco flavors to add complexity.

Start with no more than 1 drop per 5-6 ml of vape liquid. It's easy to add more but difficult to reduce flavor, one you may or may not like.

Okay, when mixing I have found that 25 drops=1ml, the premix will be 4 drops in 4ml - a 4ml batch will require 4 drops of premix to equal 1%, if it's not strong enough I can add 1/4% or 1 drop....is that right or did i just blow my mind! 8-o

If you're planning on using Flavourart's tobacco flavors you *might*be overdoing it; I've found 1 drop (20/ml) in 3 ml to be PLENTY! I cuold probably stand to go a little stronger at day's end.

I'm very pleased with the 5 flavors I've tried thus far.

Dark Vapure, Virginia (too mild for me-I used it along with others), Cowboy, Burley (too sweet for me-almost has a candy-like under note- gonna try it in a blend), and Latakia.

I'm going to order their Perique and Turkish (I fogot their name atm) after the holidays.

I LOVE their tobacco flavors and have no need to look elsewhere. Finally!

 

[sandyk]

Thank you all...

What does the Latakia taste like? Generic, how was the Cowboy??

 

[sjohnson]

Cowboy is similar to the Mboro blends, and Latakia, well, I'm waiting on it to come

Haha I hit the sale too--got myself a Christmas present!! It is scheduled for delivery today but I had to work so I can't pick it up until tomorrow.

Whew, smonomo, I have definitely not had enough coffee yet today to attempt to figure out the math on that. Pre-mixing a batch of flavouring to dilute it is a great idea for doing small test batches!

Mixing straight flavouring I use about the same amount as Generic, 1 drop per 3-4 ml.

Dark Vapure, Virginia (too mild for me-I used it along with others), Cowboy, Burley (too sweet for me-almost has a candy-like under note- gonna try it in a blend), and Latakia.

My fiance like a touch of Virginia added into fruity type flavours and Burley mixed with coffee.

I don't think you guys are following me.. The way it is at the moment 1 drop to 100 drops (or 1%) for me = 4ml, that's fine, but if I want to make it a bit stronger adding one more drop will put me way over the top.

Therefore I will make a 4ml premix consisting of PG and 4 drops of the Flavourart tobacco, now 4 drops of this premix will equal 1 drop of the undiluted Flavourart tobacco, and 1 drop will equal 1/4 drop of the undiluted.

I'll now be using this bottle of mix to make recipes, and the Flavourart bottle will go back on the shelf until needed.

If I want to have finer control, I can make a premix using 2 drops instead of 4, thus enabling me to work with increments of 1/8 drop undiluted.
The math is too easy that's why it's easy to miss it, plus I'm lousy at explaining it

If you mix 10 drops of tobacco flavour to 40 drops of PG, you can then use 4 drops of that mix instead of 1 drop of the neat stuff? If you use 5 drops of the mix, that is the equiv of 1.25 drops of neat. That is how I do it, finer control of these strong flavours is good

Thank you all...

What does the Latakia taste like? Generic, how was the Cowboy??

The Latakia has a smokey note to it. Very nice and somewhat bold.

The Cowboy is very Malrboroish. Not like the actual cigarette but like the typical Marlboro juice. I like it.

I've been having fun experimenting with their flavors, trying blends, hi vs. low strngth. The price is right so you can play around and not feel like you're throwing money away. I've been mixing up 3ml test batches.

 

[sandyk]

Thank you. Generic, how have you been liking the icy Michigan weather...kinda stinks...I say let it snow and be done with it.

I use one drop of FlavourArt tobacco flavors (from the Happy Vaper bottles) for every 6 ml of e-liquid. I like to add menthol drops to the Virginia.
