That's the problem, Closet Toker..I can't get my "recipes" down! I did try the 20 drops Virginia, 1 drop marshmallow, 1 drop vanilla ( the vanilla was a strong flavor so I cut it by half beore I added the drop) and ..lost it on the caramel! I think 2 drops, could have been more..I squeezed the dropper too hard! The second batch had a drop of peanut butter. I liked that one, but it's still not right!
Like I said..close but not sweet enough. I haven't tried the Bickfords caramel yet. I thought the Lorann's caramel was just too chemical tasting.
I would try the cotton candy, but I just don't like that flavor. I also thought about cheesecake lol
I will try tomorrow and report back, I think I am overthinking it. Could be a simple as Virginia or Hilton and caramel.

I wish Walrus would put his talent to work on this...and share!

. Couldn't figure out what is used for the "nutty" flavor. Gotta be a tad bit of Peanut Butter?

Did you try using 555? It has a nutty taste.

I used a mixture of marlbro (1/3) and 555 (2/3) as the nicotine base. Added Taboo and coconut extract for flavoring. Used VG (coconut extract thins it) to cut from 36mg down to 6mg.
This is now my favorite all day vape and it hadn't killed my atty yet...or me! LOL

Thanks Angl, I will have to try it. I still wanna know what the Chinese use for the nutty flavoring. I will also try mixing with some Flue cured Virginia I bought from bestecig. (same stuff Trog has) That stuff is probably the best I have tried as far as Virginian, a good sweet golden leaf tobacco with a tint of smokey flavor.
The flavor of 555 is also another favorite of mine. It is hard to find 555 with a strong flavor though.
Taboo?... from liquid Express? I purchased coffee flavoring from them, very disappointed. Weak flavor, I paid mostly for a bottle of PG, that's the way I looked at it.

Angl, in your opinion, who sells the best 555 that you have tried?

Can't stand the cotton candy flavor either. I am anticipating the caramel and p.b. flavors I have ordered from Capella will be good. Should get Capella's by Tuesday. I really like their flavors, a tad weaker... but no chemical taste. I have bestecig flue cured tobacco, it's the best I've had as far as Virginia flavor.
Anyway, thanks. look forward to hearing from you.

I tried again with Bickfords caramel and virginia, again with Bickfords caramel and Hilton..wow Hilton is stong! I have come to the conclusion caramel is NOT the flavor we are looking for. It is too overpowering and gives the wrong flavor. What we are looking for is something that ends up tasting like caramel in the mix.
We need a based that is stong, and smokey..maybe a pipe tobacco? Does Anyone have a good pipe tobacco e-liquid they could try with a drop of butterscotch? Or maybe a drop of marshmallow?
Does any one want to bribe a china manufacture for the recipe?

cotton candy is not good alone, but an excellent additive/sweeter for other flavors.

Pam, Maple is a good idea!
I always think of Stephen King when I see Randall's name! here's Jamey Sheridan as Randall Flagg, do we see a passing resemblance?

MK, I spent 6 months of my life working on The Stand mini series, Jamey was always a nice guy, but Ozzie Davis and his wife Ruby Dee was like having a mom and dad around set all the time, true class acts both of them.
Elindil, I get the cookies smell all the time, in fact, it's the only flavor I vape that people actually comment on the smell, and not in a bad way.

tdstrike, That must have been an amazing job! I have always heard that Ruby Dee was a really lovely woman.
6 months is how long that Mini series was! It was really good though, one of my favorite books too.

RY4 is the only flavor I vape that my husband complains about, he says I smell like a pipe.

Lol. They don't want USD much anymore - perhaps Swiss francs ;-)

I taste smokey a lot in Janty's RY4. I described what I get here:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-newbie-seeking-information-2.html#post395205

The 'smokey/resin' flavor would be hard to find. Most non-sweet/herb-like flavors are in oil. If there was a 'smoked almond' or 'smoked pecan' that might work. I've ordered Taboo flavoring just to try it out and have other Lorann's that I may add. I'm surprised caramel is being discounted now but then I haven't tried it either. Perhaps english toffee or pralines, pralines and cream could give the caramel note. I also saw a 'burnt sugar' flavor somewhere.... Bickfords. Just throwing out ideas here. My wife's first response was a smokey 'buttermel' or 'caramelscotch'.
