Flavourart Virginia

[sandyk]

Now that everyone has had time to fiddle with the Virginia tobacco a bit, how about some recipes in percentages.

FA recommends 1-2%. Would you say this was accurate for a nice, smooth Virginia taste (1 or 2%)? Or how many drops per ml do you use?

Especially interested in sjohnson's and son's response.........but I would like to hear what everyone who has tried it has to say.

I use one drop for every six ml. When I need a stronger flavor I use two drops per ml.

I have read that others use a lot more. Just start with one drop, taste, add more if needed, taste, repeat.

Good luck!

Thank you, Missy!!

I tried one drop/5 ml and it was a bit too subtle.

I'm really liking 2 drops/5 ml. I am finding that my palate isn't consistent. Some times it's outstandingly like fresh tobacco smells, other times it's just a vague taste.

But that's the rule for all flavors for me, commercial or DIY. When I'm tasting them well, they're great. When my taste is off, they're just pleasantly OK. Mornings are the worst. I wish I could find something to "clean" my palate to get that great flavor I find only about 30% of the time.

A cup of coffee and a vape is very good. Any flavor I've recently sampled is reflected in the vape. Coffee always gives an amplification of pleasant flavor (coffee plus tobacco flavor). vaping after brushing my teeth with toothpaste is very, very unpleasant! vaping after a meal can be good or bad, but always changes the taste until my palate clears of the flavor of the meal.

Anytime Sandy! I really do like the FlavourArt tobacco flavors even though I am not a plain tobacco flavor person. I use them as bases for other things. For example I will start with a tobacco flavor and add nut flavors - or caramels - or fruits. It adds a complexity that I really enjoy.

Thank you very much. Just ordered the Virginia from LF. The Virginia got restocked. I messed up before and was dinking around wondering if I should order or not and it went out of stock.

Thanks, sjohnson, this is what info I was searching for. I agree on the palate......sometimes great, sometimes good, and sometimes not so good. Yes it taste horrible after brushing the teeth.....lol...

Mixed up a batch of Virginia yesterday with 3 drops per ml.

Now, this has some taste to it... also a fairly aggressive throat hit. I've been vaping it and some Dark Vapure (same strength) all day long.

Yes! Start small, and add drops until it meets YOUR criteria for flavor.

Forgive my language, but who gives a ....... what other people think is good.

Seems to me you and I are on the same page regarding flavoring!!!!

I concur! Add a drop and test, repeat until satisfied with the flavor!

Does virginia taste like winston?

 

[sjohnson]

To me, Virginia tastes like fresh tobacco smells. I'm unsure of what a Winston smoke tastes like, it's been many years since I smoked one of them. But, I don't think you'll find any vape that tastes like burning tobacco of any kind.

I must be doing something wrong. I use 6 drops in 1ml and could go more.

 

[MaxUT]

gixer, let it set for at least 12 hours and try it again. The taste will be more developed.
