Bumping your post. I need assistance with the same flavor. I tried it at 5%. It's been steeping for a week and it's evident I didn't use enough. I thought it would be like tobacco. Looking forward to trying it again with a higher % with recommendations.
I have been playing with that flavor since I first began DIY and I just can't make it work. I've tried mixing it with EM and TA according to a recipe posted in this forum but nothing I've mixed, both strong and weak, gives a good tobacco flavor. Maybe some of the other Seedmans tobaccos are better. I will say this....if I had vaped this flavor when I first started vaping and quit smoking, it probably would have worked. To me it has more of a cigarette taste which is not what I'm searching for these days. It's pretty harsh tasting IMO. Funny thing about this flavor, it tastes nothing like it smells. I like the smell straight out of the bottle, but the taste.....not so much.
I love commercial concentrate. Use 15%, + 4 drops of ta diluted per 10ml of final liquid. This is a real cig-like blend.
For a mellower blend, cut the ta diluted in half, add 3% capella or other hazelnut, or some caramel. Vanilla or black cherry also work nicely with it.

I just got this flavor today and haven't tried it yet. I ordered it to mix for my DH who hasn't come over to 'our' side yet (even though he was the one that wanted to quit). I'm hoping it tastes more like a cigarette, so I was happy to read Lynda's comment about the taste (thank you Lynda!). Now to see if I remember (after 8 months) what a cig tastes like, and I'm not really looking forward to it.
The first mix I mentioned is pretty cig tasting. Try about 30% vg, hits a good th/vapor trade as long as the nic is high enough.
I hope it works for him! It really is a pretty true ciggie tobacco flavor and my hubby says the same thing. As I stated in my first post, this one would have worked for us 20 months ago but not now. I don't think it's bad as in some of the tobaccos I've tried to vape. I'd definitely mix some for a new convert who was looking for something that tasted close to what they are smoking. Keep us posted!
Thanks. I'll have to get some TA. I have to go all VG, DH had problems with PG. I thin with distilled water or vodka (or both).
Seedman is a pg base, so hopefully he can handle 15% or so.
Otherwise for true 0pg I go to tpa tobacco blend alc, which is a ta and em mix. Fine if you are mixing a vanilla tob or fruit tob, not so hot for a straight tob. I use the tob blend alc at 12%, plus 8% natures flavors vanilla or a fruit.
Nf also has decent 0pg hazelnut, for a smooth tob flavor.
Good luck!

The recipe I used was 1 ml Seedman's to 10 ml unflavored base and add two drops of diluted TA. That's the recipe Scubabatdan recommends. HTH
I think I screwed up on the order . I didn't get the concentrate. I got the premixed. Auuuggghhh. Don't know if I can use it. Anyone?
You can, but it is kind of rough. Diluted is cut 3:1 with water, IIRC. Instead of 10% of it you would use 40%, and 30% of that would be plain water.
(I did the same thing on my first order, accidentally got several of the diluted bottles.)

Yeah, I know. I still made just a bit of eliquid, to see that I liked the flavor, then bought a bunch of concentrate.
I put 1ml in 9 mil of 50-50 and can slightly taste it. But of course not very well.
