I spent over 2 months trying to find a good tobacco flavor with not much luck, I started D.I.Y last week and i think i found my ADV I bought some 50/50 mix 12mg nic. I mixed 8ml of the 50/50 1.5ml of TFA red tobacco and .5ml of TFA honey, man oh man is it good, I made a bottle for a friend and he said hes really enjoying it he likes it alot...since i started D.I.Y i have 63 bottles of store bought liquid i havnt touched all week.

Good for you! I've barely dabbled in tobaccos but so far have made one that seems pretty darned close to Neckbeard's smoked custard. Totally by accident even :D Made it, tasted it after about a month steep and thought "hey this tastes just about like.."

Know what happened to most all of my store bought juice after I started DIY? One by one, it got dumped so I could use the bottles when I got a little crazy making new stuff :) I have one or two left thinking I might vape them some day. Maybe.

I got just as many duds ordering juice in the mail as the bad ones I make while experimenting. The difference is..my own duds didn't cost me $20.

It's a great feeling isn't it? I might have to give your recipe a try!

Sounds like a good mix.Tfa red was my first diy attempt that i actually liked,although back then i was mixing it as a standalone flavor.I still have a bit of the flavor left,but haven't used any of it in a long time,i may have to pull it back out and give this a try.

I use glass bottles so it took me awhile to build up a good stock. Never had much luck with washing out plastic ones and getting the scent of the previous juice out. I did, however, buy some small plastic ones recently for giving samples to the folks I make juice for. Too many of my glass ones walking off, never to return :D

Another tobacco flavor that I really like is TFA M Type Premium. I prefer it as a single flavor mix at 10% but would probably be good with some other flavors as an undertone. I tried a little Vanilla Custard with it at 2% but I think I had the flavor % too high and it covered the tobacco taste. Need to go back and try a slightly different mix.

Hehehe!
You'll probably end up giving it away. When I started DIYing I was having so much fun that my store stuff just sat there, unused, unappreciated, and unwanted for months, until I decided to get rid of it.
I missed my Casablanca though so my main mission was to make something like it.
Today I have over 20 All day vapes, really good ones, including a 1:1 Casablanca type (don't like the word "clone")
Problem is if my new mix isn't as good or better than anyone of these flavors I junk it. So its getting harder, but I have a blast....hope you do too
Best wishes and best of luck.

I (and many others) think TFA honey is horrible but if you like honey you should really try Lorann.

Very true about TFA honey. I found the inawera honey a more fresh, natural from the bee hive taste. Mixed with your favorite tobacco flavor makes for a really good honey tobacco mix.

Glad it worked out. TFA red to me is very artifical and chemical tasting. If you want a good USA try the Red USA hangsen flavor. More realistic to a good ol' american red analoge.

Hangsen Red USA Mix Flavoring Concentrate (Essence) 10ml - BuyHangsen.com

Any of the Hangsen line of tobacco flavorings are far better then most other manufacturer brands.


Danny, you are totally correct!
The tfa flavs i got from wizardlabs, I can't use any of them!
I tried dumping alot of Bitter wizard in hopes of neutralizing it, but didn't do anything to help.
I just buy FlavorArt, and INW now, plus Hangsen when i remember too, lol.

Glad it's not just me getting that weird taste.

Larry, i congratulate you for being able to vape the M-Type @ 10% - I like M-type but need to mix it under 1%, can you share what is your method, do you steep it for a long time?

True! As soon as I smelled it, I said "Hey! This smells just like Halo's tobacco liquids!" I'm convinced it's what they use as their base. Where 555 DK Tab (TFA) is what epipemods uses as their base. I found a great epipemods Long Bottom Leaf clone that is fantastic and heavy on the 555. Good stuff!!

The TFA tobacco flavors I have tried so far I have not been impressed with. Today I ordered big spirit extract from NET and some Hangsen and Inawera tobacco flavors to try. I have heard really good things about Hangsen so I am really looking forward to that one!

You wont go wrong with hangsen. It's my main tobacco source. that combined with a little NET or TA and you'll have it made. You'll find the inawera interesting but some of the tobaccos take some getting userd to
