[lovekillsfear]

Hey there everyone,

I am gonna try and make an RY4 from the ground up and i have the following choices of ingredients in my arsenal. Hoping to get ideas on which base-tobacco, caramel, vanilla, additives and percentages to try. Sure appreciate it!

i have these flavors for...

Tobaccos: Inawera m.i.l.d, Inawera mellow sunset, TFA DK tobacco and FA 7leaves
Vanilla: TFA vanilla swirl, TFA vanilla bean icecream, CAP-simply vanilla
Caramel: TFA caramel original, TFA caramel candy
Other ones i have seen mentioned in custom RY4's: EM-cotton candy, TFA graham cracker dark, FA fresh cream, TFA hazelnut

Thanks so much everyone,
Grace and Peace,
Jon and Amanda

I would taste each flavor individually and determine which flavors suit your taste and go from there otherwise you may wind up with something someone else likes but you hate.

^^^ Good advice above. I'm not familiar with those Inawera flavors, but that looks like a great selection of flavors to start. Here's a mix I'd like but ymmv as mentioned.

FA 7leaves 2% (love this stuff, especially mixed with other tobacco flavors.)
TFA DK tobacco 2% (Not so much, good to mix with other flavors though.)
TFA vanilla swirl 2% (One of the better artificial ice cream type vanillas imo.)
TFA vanilla bean icecream 2% (Good, mixes well with other vanillas.)
TFA caramel candy 2% (Not so great stand alone, but love it in mixes.)
TFA hazelnut .5% (Really good hazelnut, Inawera is better imo.)

Steep time for me would be 4 weeks, but I only use toss it in the back of the drawer type steeping.

Excellent advice guys. thanks! DannyV your advice is certainly my long term solution but... for now i have a good bit of money sunk into diy supplies and none to spend on commercial juice so i wanna have a good starting place that others might like/suggest and work off of that. JD1 thanks for the recipe idea i will give it a try.

If anyone would like to mention just percentages to start with on the above ingredients even if no recipe then that would be appreciated as well! Thanks again for all the great info.

Grace and Peace,

I believe what Danny meant, and what I would also recommend, is making a small batch (10 ml or less) of each of the flavorings you already have as standalone juices. Knowing how each tastes alone is very helpful when you make a recipe and then think, well it could use a little more, or a bit less, of something. If you make them all at the same nic level, you can also play around with combining them in really small batches to hone in on something that is just right for you. Additionally, you may like some of them a lot as single flavor juices. Then you will know what to buy large bottles of and what you just need small amounts of.
