I would absolutely love to try it. As a tobacco vaper what your doing is tempting me to try this myself but I am going to wait for your results first. What you come up with will help guide my attempt at it.

Ok that is the plan then. So I dipped into samples #2,3, 4 and 5 and man even if the barrel doesn't give it some flavor, #2 is really good as is. You get the sweet from the maple and vanilla upfront and right after exhale comes the good throat hit toasted almond and tobaccos to even things right out. Now I'm truely excited to get this steeping tomorrow.
For a true blind test send him two bottles with different color caps, then you will know if it's mental or barrel steeped goodness.
Great idea. That is the plan. After danny describes each flavor I will post which colors are barrel and non-barrel.
Or you could write on the labels sample 1 and 2 or a and b to make sure the caps don't get switched

If Danny can't keep his caps separate then just send the samples to me

How about I send you 15ml of both the barrel reserve and non for being my kind of vaper. Man I love a lightly sweet tobacco. Then we have 2 unbiased opinions. Done deal.
Forgot to post a picture of the barrel so here you go. Juice is going in for a 3 week steep today. The barrel has been sterilized and soaked to swell so there is no leaking for 2 days. Ready to go.

Heck yeah Muggs, thanks brother.
That barrel is a thing of beauty, even if it doesn't help it's a nice conversation piece and a great place to store whiskey.

190ml of 74.04pg/25.96vg 18mg is now in the barrel which has a nice medium char inside and will steep for 3 weeks (Maybe 2 cause I can't wait that long). Both dannyv45 and f1vefour are going to get a 15ml bottle of both the barrel steeped and non-barrel steeped reserve. Guys I have also bottled your non-barrel samples right before filling the barrel to keep the steeping times exact. You will both get special caps for each.
I'll PM both of you when they are ready. I'll send them out to you that day and I hope you enjoy.

When it's in the light it's a nice golden brown, kind of a dark picture but it does have a rich color so far.
The Maple Rum Tobacco is almost black and the brown sugar and madagascar vanilla are very dark as well as the medium brown toasted almond actually. The coumarin pipe tobacco and east coast tobacco are relatively light in color.
Edit: BTW I don't think I can wait 3 weeks, haha. Being it's a new barrel I'm thinking 2 weeks will do the trick. What do you guys think?

Being a new barrel without having anything aged in it the flavor should show up quickly one would think.
Good things come to those who wait
Being as the barrel is charred already, I think you should age a nice Bourbon in it for a couple years first.....
Mmm yes aged old bourbon barrel to steep in. The next project? The next couple weeks are going to be torture. You guys need to give me the strength not to turn that tap and sneak a tank full. Please? Haha
