My first two DIY juices and they ain't so bad!

Mad Scientist Morning Smoke....this one ended up being two batches mixed - with a really nice outcome (Combined recipe here)
24.5% vg nic and vg base 21 ml batch (again, made a second to calm the first and this is what I ended up with).

7.75% DK tobacco (TFA)
1.75% Absolute tobacco Blend (TFA)
3.75% Smooth Tobacco Blend (TFA)
6.25% Espresso (TFA)
2% Bavarian Creme (TFA)
+one drop of Red Oak (TFA) don't know what came over me - and I don't know that it adds or takes away but it was in the mix.

So I made it Thursday, shared about 8ml Friday (taste tester liked it) and am on my last 2 ml this morning. This ended up being a really nice, primarily tobacco juice with just a little something interesting. The espresso is not overpowering at all - and certainly doesn't have the burnt coffee taste. Will be making another batch this morning. It totally gets better with time! **Note** The flavors really need to rest a bit after you make it. I vaped right away, it was very aromatic and tasted sort of floral-ish, but still good. HOWEVER...by the morning time, the flavors had rested and I got all of the tobacco flavor. Not too bold/not too light with a nice throat hit.

On the Vision Spinner at about 3.9-4.1v with a clearo-2.2 ish I think. The throat hit is much better a little higher - but too high and it does taste burnt.

"Pipe Tobacco Plus" is what I am calling this one....(PS - this one was my very first DIY)

24mg vg nic and vg base made 10ml to test.

12% Honey Pipe (TFA)
2.5% Absolute Tobacco Blend (TFA)
4% Smooth Tobacco (TFA)
2% Vanilla Burbon (TFA)
2% Earl Grey Tea (TFA)

Made it three nights ago, it gets better and more smooth as it steeps. Relatively aromatic - I am thinking on my next batch I may cut the honey pipe a little. The Earl grey was a nice touch...very subtle - taste wise, but I think that is where a lot of the aroma comes from.

When I tested the batch right off the bat, I thought I had failed miserably. But - like I said, the more it steeps and the more the flavors settle, the better this one gets. Not an all day vape - but nice in the evening.

How are you making up your Tobacco Absolute? Is it PG or Alcohol? Also, I'm not familiar with TFA Honey Pipe. Is there another name for it?

Sorry, I wrote it down wrong on the recipe...it is Black Honey Tobacco flavor (was described as a pipe). The Tobacco Absoulte is diluted with alcohol.

I shared some of the Morning Smoke yesterday - feedback so far has been positive. I know a lot of folks have an aversion to the coffee flavors - but the espresso in this doesn't come out as a coffee taste - it just rounds off the tobaccos nicely without adding sweet or overpowering flavor.

If you try either out and have feedback to improve upon it - let me know what you think. Just getting started in the DIY - would love the feedback!

I have tried a ton of different coffee concentrates and in my book FA's Coffee Expresso is the hands down winner. Even by itself it's really good.
