I have some Azure Vaping Tobacco Absolute. Now what?

[JohnnyDill]

Azure Vaping 1.5 ml vial Tobacco absolute w/ ethyl alcohol

This TA is suspended in 50% PGA. I wish to make this into a flavoring by adding PG and EM, like the TFA stuff that is unavailable now. I have lots of PG and some TFA Cotton Candy for EM. Any suggestions on diluting this elusive stuff?

I personally wouldn't add em, but that's me.

Use a 1/20 or 5% overall dilution. What youve got is diluted 50% already so you need a 10% dilution of that, for example 1ml TA in 9ml PG/PGA. It dilutes easier in PGA but PG works, it just needs shaken well before use. Try in mixes at 1.5-2.5%.

Here's the formula I always followed. It was posted by someone, somewhere, a few years ago.



tobacco absolute is very thick and only requires 2 drops per 10ml, after adding 2 drops in the 10ml bottle add 1/4 teaspoon of ethyl maltol into the 10ml bottle. Now fill the 10ml bottle with everclear or high proof vodka. The higher the proof the faster the ethyl maltol crystals will dissolve. With a lower proof it could take overnight. With everclear it takes minutes. I recommend starting with 1 drop of the TA solution to 1ml of e-juice and adjust as necessary. I prefer adding 10-20 drops of caramel flavoring and hazelnut for a nutty undertone. Any flavor can be added but you will have to experiment.

As MarkyD said, using the above, you will need 4 drops TA per 10ml.
I add the EM/CC to PG and microwave for 10 secs to help dissolve.
