Fruit and Tobacco Vape

[gimmieshelter31]

I'm working on a recipe that I'm finding quite tasty. It has only steeped for four days so I'm not going to tweak it until two weeks have past. I'm finding it very pleasant but I will warn that before today, it has been a bit harsh.

8.8 ml your base of choice (i used 65/35 pg vg at 26 mg/ml to start)
1% - FA Perique Black
2% - FA Latakia
2% - FA Apple
2% - FA pear
2% - EM 10% dilute in pg (or cotton candy)
3% - TPA Brown Sugar

If you try it ,let me know what you think .Please allow at least 4 days before passing judgement. I think the apple and pear mate very well together with the two chosen tobaccos.

I think the harsh note was coming from the apple and pear. It has really settled down nicely.If anything ,I'm thinking about a drop or two of MTS vape Wizard but I'll wait a bit on that . If I have learned anything at all in DIY ,it is patience pays off.

What does Latakia taste like? ... I don't have that one but this recipe sounds interesting.

I think Latakia is kind of smokey,woody with maybe some vanilla undertone may slightly floral though not near the level of floral that Burley and Cowboy . If you have tried Perique,it is similar but not as dry and metallic tasting. Taste descriptors are definitely not my forte Perique is IMO an acquired taste and requires long steep times when used alone.
I can see ,depending on what kind of vape people prefer where a little sweetener like sucrose could be attractive to some in addition to the EM in this recipe.

Thanks for the info. I didn't like the Burley or Cowboy. Sounds like I'll have to get some Latakia

Did you add all those flavors in one mix? Or did you separate the flavors and added like 2% to the PG VG and nic base?

Hi Jimi D. I added the percentage of each flavor to the mix for a total of 12% flavoring.
