There's a recipe floating around here in multiple threads, by a guy with a name something like Scubatdan (sorry, not sure exactly). I've seen it mentioned quite a few times. It was something like TA + Seedman Commercial + Ethyl Maltol. I'll see if I can find it easily.
Here it is:

It's a recipe for a huge amount, but you could cut it down to a reasonable amount.
It's been a while since I've used TA. I'm finding the new super concentrated stuff from EXC and VZ to be so much better and easier.

I have some of the VZ and EXC. Which ones are you using and what %. ?
I've been making some decent desert type juices but so far all of my tobacco base juices have been terrible. I would really like to Br able to make a good pipe tobacco juice, a good cigar type juice, and a good spicy menthol type. Most of the ones I've done so far taste like ......

My go to Menthol Tobacco Juice:
11% Tpa Black Honey
6% Tobacco Absolute Blend Tpa
3% Menthol Tpa
4% EM Tpa
Play with Menthol to get right for you, 4% Menthol will put a charge in your mouth. Good Luck
I have a question that is on the same line... I notice that the Tobacco Absolute from HERE is actually 10% diluted in PG.
SOOOooo... If a recipe calls for 3% Tobacco Absolute, would that be 3mL in a 10mL bottle, or would that be 1/3rd of a mL in a 10mL bottle, or what?

The tobacco extract isn't very strong IMO. You'll need to dilute the TA before using it as it is insanely strong! Mix 10 ml PG with 1/4 tsp. Ethyl maltol. After all the crystals are dissolved, add two drops TA. Even mixed, it still is pretty stout so start with 1% until you find what works for you. You could try a mix of 5% extract with 1% TA and see if you like it. It will be ciggie tasting but you might like it. Good luck!
This is not the extract, its the PG Blend. Go to PA website and look under TA Blend ALC and you will see how its diluted. Good Luck.
I went ahead and made up a batch with what I had and it actually turned out pretty good. I made up a small bottle of the dilluted extract.
5 ml batch 18 mg 60 pg/40 vg
4 drops TPA extract dilluted
1 drop TPA M type
3 drops TPA Smooth
2 drops EM
1 fat menthol crystal
I let it steep for a few days and after smelling it I thought it might actually be decent because the aroma was pretty good. Tried a couple of drops on HH 357 amd I like it alot. Might make a few more 5 ML batches of this and experiment a little with some different additives (caramel, vanilla, etc.)
Gonna try to mess around with the TA some too using Lyndas suggestion. Appreciate the help you two.
I made a batch of tobacco w/ absolute flavoring ... it didn't really taste like anything. I kept adding flavor, and it ending up tasting like pineapple...not too good.
I am not having any luck with the Tobacco Absolute either. No matter what % I use it tastes kinda flowery, and even after it steeps for weeks, it still doesn't take like anything I can describe.
yeah its really weird...the tobacco even smells like candy... i dont know, maybe i'm buying the wrong brand...
I made up a dilluted sample of the absolute and it doesnt look or smell that appealing. The extract seems pretty good though. I'm going to try making a bigger batch with it this weekend. Unless I start reading some good reviews on the TPA absolute i wont be messing around with it anymore.
TA shines when added to FA Virginia. I mix 2% Virginia with 2% TA (diluted with EM) and it's been my mainstay juice since I started DIY. Very smooth tobacco with a slight burnt sugar tone. I always have a bottle of it with me wherever I go.
Same here. In fact, many of the TPA flavors that I have purchased are just too flowery, perfumey, chemical tasting to me. No matter what I add them to, the smell doesn't go away. Even after steeping for a month or more in many cases. Weird. I read somewhere that steeping for a month or so gets rid of odd smells such as alcohol or perfume....but not working for me
