I just tried my first DIY e-juice, and am not too happy with it. 
I just tried a simple 1-flavor juice, using FlavourArt Cowland Blend tobacco. I would like to eventually add some honey or other flavor to it, but wanted to see how it was by itself first.
I'd read here that with the FA tobacco flavors you need to start low, and work up. I started with 2% in a 70/30 mix at 12mg and couldn't taste anything but a very faint "floral" or "perfume" taste. No tobacco taste at all. So I added another percent of Cowland Blend flavoring and still had nothing, so I went to 5% and still just have a floral/perfumey taste, only more of it.
Since I also read here that FA tobacco flavors need to steep, I tried a "quick-steep" with hot water baths and a lot of shaking, but it didn't seem to change much.
So now it's sitting on the shelf with the cap off of the bottle. I guess I'll wait a few days and try it again. Hopefully it will make something vapeable.
