I am fairly new to DIY and I have made a few different blend that I really enjoy. I am working on one that I can't get any of the flavors to stand out. It just taste sweet with do distinct flavor that pops. Is their any way to get the tobacco and hazelnut to pop?

+1 for steeping time. I also have problems with nut type flavors because for me, they seem to have a dry and muting effect to them. (Yeal, I know dry isn't a flavor, but it's the best I can do lol.) I still use them sometimes but in very small amounts. I'd much rather get a flavor that already has a nut flavor in it, such as Hangsen Highway or similar.
Over flavoring can often mute flavors as well.

Too much flavoring with kill the taste. If everything in the recipe seems muted try lowering your percentages. I just went through that on a cookie recipe. I ended up taking 15 ml and added 20 ml of PG VG and Nic in the same ratio and the flavor came to life. Good luck
Ya perhaps I will lower my %. It has been steeping for over 2 weeks.
This is what I have in it:
2% FA shade
1.5% FA dark vapur
5% FA pear
1% FA hazelnut
1.5% TPA marshmallow
70pg/30vg

You need to decide what you want your base flavor to be. Right now your base flavor is pear. You don't want pear to be the dominent flavor if your trying to make a tobacco vape. First describe what your trying to accomplish in taste then we can better advise.
I would do something like this
5% shade
1 - 2% dark vapor
1% hazelnut
.5% (thats half a percent marshmallow) You don't want to taste the marshmallow you just want the thickening effect.
and I would leave the pear out or go with no more then 1% to just give the mix a slight sweetness.
heat steep at 150F for 2 - 3 hours or steep naturally for 3 weeks.

My recipe finally mellowed out after about 5 weeks. I added about. 75% acv to it at week 3 and has been a very nice vape. I have made another large batch of it since and just lowered the pear to 3% and the marshmallow to 1%. I also mixed dannyv suggestion that turned out well. Just needs a very long steep time.
