Looking for help with DIY flavoring

[sammorris]

Did anyone have experience with the following flavors?

Camtel Ultimate - FlavourArt
tobacco Flavor - Perfumer's Apprentice
tobacco Blend (PG) - Perfumer's apperntice
M-Type - Perfumer's apprentice
Mango - Perfumer's apprentice

I can't seem to get the percentage right. I have tried 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% flavor and mixed with 50%PG/50%VG 18mg base. They just don't taste good. Can anyone recommend a starting point of each?
I also tried to mix tobacco flavor with Camtel ultimate, tobacco blend with camtel ultimate. I just don't want to give up on them yet. The camtel ultimate is very strong. The M-type by itself have a distinct taste.

For the mango, i am just not sure if the mix i have is to strong or to weak. I just taste sour a little.
Thank in advance

I don't have experience with the flavors, but generally strong flavors like tobacco only need about 1% or so, and quite possibly some steeping for a little while before the full flavor comes around.

Maybe someone with more tobacco flavoring experience will come around with a more exact answer.

Not specific to your flavor list, but with FA tobacco flavors, a single percentage difference can mean quite a bit. Two percent can make a huge difference. So jumping from 5 to 10 could have gone right past it, or maybe it was the jump from 10 to 15.

Camtel is around 7% for me and it needs some steep time. (But it is not one of my primary flavorings...)

Tobacco flavoring is a bit trickier than most others, but when you hit it, it is an amazing thing...

Another thing to consider... each brand is better mixed at different ratios. FA tends to be stronger, while some (like FF) is weaker. Check out Nikhil's guides to get a better grasp on percentage ratios for the different drops.

Thanks. Just checked out his guide to . A lot of good info. I will try again with diff %.
For some reason, I am not able to notice small taste different (let say 1-2% flavor diff). I think the first impression is very important. If the first batch is good or decent to start with, then it is easier. It the first batch is really bad, then I can't never able to enjoy it even with diff %.
Anyone else has experience with these flavorings?

The Tobacco Flavor I think I have somewhere, but haven't had the opportunity to play with it much. M-Type I hadn't even heard of until recently. Mango isn't something I'd be interested in.

FA Camtel Ultimate... At about 1%, mixed with a lot of other flavors, and steeped a while, is kinda interesting. On its own, I find it pretty gross.

PA Tobacco Blend (PG) I like. A lot. Perhaps too much. I'll take this up to 25%, and I don't bother steeping it, but I'm usually pretty desensitized to it. It's fairly complex, and does very well on it's own. I'd suggest starting at 15% and going up from there, and not adding anything else until you're well familiar with it.

I like most FA tobaccos at about 2%.
Of the ones I've tried, the only one I didn't like at all was Camtel Ultimate. I may try it again at 1%.

I only have the m type, and some other tobaccos ive been playing with. The m type is very nutty. The last batch I tried at 5% and its vapable but very peanut flavored to me. More so than the 555/dk type even. I plan on trying it at a lower percentage.

I have other tpa tobaccos, like tobacco concentrate (not the blend i believe), ry4 double, ry4 type 1, and some seedmans concentrate. I have a couple recipe mixes but nothing i think is ready to share. Although if youd like them Ill post them as they are now?

I can't speak for the Tobacco Flavors work. I don't DIY or Like Tobacco Flavors.

But for the Mango, what are you using to Sweeten it with?
