:ohmy: 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.;)

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!
