I am new to the forum and I can't post on the DIY section yet. I got supplies from Madvape. Flavorings, PG 50mg/ml, VG, bottles, etc. Here's the problem...
tobacco flavor - has no flavor at all it smells weird but no flavor not even at 20%
Flavor West tobacco - Tastes and Smells like pee can't stand it
Red Bull is good
Chocolate is nasty I like chocolate and though I would like this, but no
Jr. Mint Chocolate - Not good
So here is the deal where can I get a good tobacco flavoring to make my own juice, and at what percentage do you recommend mixing it.

I am also using lorannes and it's ok

If somebody has used these 2 tobacco flavors and the chocolates before and would like to trade them let me know. I can take a bottle of Tobacco already mixed.

Thank you for your help!:blush:

Believe it or not, the more flavoring you add the less likely you are to be able to taste it. I know, sounds strange but it's true. I made that mistake early on because for some odd reason it took my tastebuds longer to come back. Try mixing a small sample at 10% flavoring and see if that works. I would also suggest scouring the DIY forums for several days. There is tons of information their about everything that is mixing.

Welcome to ECF by the way. :)

Get 5 posts or replies and wait about an hour and then you can post in the the DIY section. Loranns are not the most popular flavorings. Perfumer's Apprentice and Flavourart are much more popular. And maybe Seedmans too for tobacco flavorings. Try some Flavourart Desert Ship maybe for a good Turkish blend. I vape Desert Ship ejuice from FreedomSmokeUSA and it's my most analog-alike ejuice. PA also sells a very strong tobacco flavoring called Tobacco Absolute which supposedly only needs 1/2 drop (like a dip of a toothpick).

OneSTopDIYSHop.com is a good place for supplies including 3 brands of flavorings.
And the Perfumer's Apprentice site is also good and has all of their flavors.

I just order some Seedmans flavoring, let's see what happens! I get Marlboro already mixed from Elixir Liquid in Houston and it was good when I got my PV, then the flavor was almost gone. I know your taste buds change and I guess I have to wait and see if the Seedmans will work! Thanks for your help!

If you just quit smoking, your taste buds take a couple of weeks to start coming back. I'm 33 days in, and they are still changing. I don't know how long you've been quit since this is your first post. Also id you get your post count up to 5 you can go post anywhere. Good luck.

I stopped smoking analogs about 3 weeks ago, the eliquid from elixirliquid.com was awesome and then i could barely taste it. I've been smoking redbull, watermelon and cheesacake for the last week, let's see if I can come up with something I like with the seedmans flavorings I just ordered! Thanks!

Also keep in mind that tobacco ejuices don't have a lot of flavor unless they have a bit of sweetness in them - flavorings like honey, cocoa, etc. Real cigarettes usually have cocoa flavoring plus honey or brown sugar flavoring and sometimes licorice flavoring. Marlboro, Pall Mall, Parliament, Capri - basically every cig I looked up has cocoa. And I love having some cocoa flavoring in tobacco ejuices. I buy FreedomSmokeUSA Cocoa ejuice (it is non-sweet) and use it to counteract sweetness and add cocoa. Their Chocolate is sweeter and I add that or oRYental 4 or a sweet vanilla if I want to add sweetness to a tobacco.

Other than any sweetness, your main "flavor" of tobacco ejuices will come from the aroma. And because ecigs don't dump vapor all over you, you need to remember to let some fresh vapor waft out of your mouth so your nose can catch it on the inhale.

Welcome to ECF and DIY. If you haven't done so already, you might get a DIY e-juice calculator. There are quite a few good products out there; I tend to use eJuice Me Up - e-Juice e-Liquid Recipe Calculator the most. A good way to start is to follow a few of the tried and true recipes of others. The intensities of flavorant vendors varies dramatically. Many flavorants that may vape strange on their own can often be wonderful when mixed into other flavors. You might hold on to the concentrates you don't like for a bit. In my experience, most "chocolate" is closer to "baking chocolate" and doesn't vape well on its own, but adds a great dimension to many other sweeter flavors and/or tobacco flavors (including clove). Good luck.

I got the E-juice Calculator for my iPhone and it's awesome, that's what I've been using since I got my supplies! and i'll take your advice and i will keep those juices I might use them later like you said, and yes the chocolate is kind of like a baking chocolate! Thanks!!!!
