aaaand I'm back. 2% Catalan Cream, 1% Marzipan. Should have gone lighter on the Marzipan, but this is pretty good. I used VT nic, so it tastes really sweet. 
Pure Vapes has 3ml FlavourArt flavorings

Very nice and pleasant vape. I mixed at 2% and 0.8%, and seems just about right. Thanks!
Pecan! Yum.
I can only speak for TFA Bourbon. Yep. It's bourbon. I had the whiskey on a PureVapes order last time, but cancelled it. Kinda glad, though. The TFA really won't be used much either.
Maxx blend a favourite of mine to, a recipe i found on ecf god knows where, which was a good few months back, which is always on the go daily, if you care to try,I think I'm fixing to clean the old crock pot up and put it away until chile season, about November.With VT nic I don't think I'm gonna need it.
Has anyone else(we2rcool) tested the need to steep FA tobaccos with VT nic? I mixed up some English Blend two days ago and gave it a shake and thought it tasted pretty good. Today, I really can't tell much difference from it and my batch that is crock pot steeped and two days older.
I've been vaping Maxx Blend a lot and got a good handle on the flavor. I just mixed some up, shook it real good, let it rest for a few and the flavor profile is there. I'm fairly confident it will get a bit richer and smoother within a few days.
tobacco recipe to make 60ml 20%p/g 80%v/g add your preferred nic then add flavours.
40 drops maxx-blend
25 drops desert ship
10 drops cuban surpreme
5 drops ethol maltol
5 drops mts vap wizard there was no percentages, so it's only by drops.
Some of their flavors seem to be derived from tobacco. Their 7Leaves for example is sometimes green and sometimes not. The explanation according to one vendor who sells the pre-mixed is that tobacco leaves are usually green at harvest time ..... Read into that what you will.
so vendor saying we sell unstable tobacco, no fermentation, no curing, no ageing, 'green' unbelievable.
I can't comment on what the FDA might think, but FA does use some natural extracts in some of their flavors. A snippet from them:
"Flavours can be quite simple blends of just a few raw materials, but often are extremely complex blends of essential oils, flavour chemical compounds, natural extracts, distillates,and absolutes." That's from here: Creativity | FlavourArt.it
They also make a point of explaining why they use synthetic ingredients for vaping products: "synthetic flavorings are simpler in composition and potentially safer because only safety-test components are utilized.." from here: About flavours | FlavourArt.it
Given these two pages that would lead me to different conclusions, I'd recommend contacting FA directly if you want to know for certain whether actual tobacco is used in producing their tobacco flavorings.
Oh - here's info about tobacco in particular, from their Romanian site apparently, translated from Italian, dated 2011: http://flavourart.hesk.com/knowledgebase.php?article=15 "In addition, flavors containing, as example, vanillin, cyclotene, furaneol or other furanones, thiazoles ans sulphur compounds tend to darken with age, or flavors that contain natural extracts (which may contain carotenoid pigments or other color bringing hydrocarbons ) for all the reasons explained above, may perform differently.
( a typical example is our Maxx-Blend tobacco flavor. Fresh compounded it has a light green color that turns to amber yellow with time)"
I'd still verify personally.

Mine arrived today, and I'd agree it's not stinky at all in the bottle - I had to squeeze a drop out to be able to smell it! Not sure when I'll get round to trying it, since it came with 34 other flavours
As long as HIC doesn't get into florals or tobaccos, I'll be ready for anything once my order from Italy arrrives!
Bergamot, Cardamom, Cucumber, Fig fresh, Fuji, Mangosteen, Peach white, Pepper black, Tomato ripe, aaaand... Bread Crust - couldn't resist finding out what it smells like at least

You are a brave one, Hermit.
Black Pepper!!! I'm so curious about that one. I've heard it's STRONG and might need to be used in a dilution. I really do think it could add a nice kick or something to certain flavors.

No florals for me. Tried a couple, but it was like vaping granny's perfume.
Cumumber's fun - very refreshing. Cucumber, tomato, a grind of black pepper, maybe a squeeze of lime - that'd be a unique vape!
I wish you had it so you could tell me what brand it's most like. I don't know whiskeys well at all. I figure FA, being an Italian company, would make one that's a favorite with Italians, and that seems to be blended malt whiskeys. Looks like Italian distilleries are known for those. Can anyone with FA Whiskey tell me if this is "blended malt" Whiskey flavor?
I've never vaped it plain - I'll have to work up to that. I made a simple whiskey-caramel sauce, just a hint of whiskey. Pretty tasty, would go with apple or in various dessert flavors.
Of course I got distracted immediately. Found a website with gourmet caramel sauces and want to do these: amaretto caramel, chardonnay-peach caramel, spicy mango madness caramel...
I am having so much fun with my creamy cocktail liquor cabinet, and this popped up: http://www.buzzfeed.com/samstryker/boozy-desserts-that-want-to-be-your-drinking-buddy-on-sai WOW - great inspirations, and so many would be great with FA flavors! I've gotta make a vape version of that Baileys Hazelnut Chocolate Tiramisu.
Back to Whiskey, I've made rough recipes (just on paper) for Bailey's cheesecake with whiskey caramel sauce, maple-whiskey ice cream, those fresh figs with whiskey-cocoa ganache, cocoa-caramel whiskey balls, hot toddy, grilled honey peaches, a few others. Haven't even looked at bartender recipes yet. Where to start?!
The Whisky certainly has quite an aroma to it! I'm no expert at all, but it's not unlike the aroma of something like Laphroaig, a 10yr single malt scotch.
Good! Yes, and not something I want in my vapour trail either!
Bilberry on the other hand, walking back into a room where I've been vaping it, is fantastic
Maybe a bit of gin too

I was thinking about trying out a version of Bourbon Balls the other day! I used to make those at Christmas.
It was probably a couple weeks ago I was experimenting and made this. After a 4 hour crock pot session, I wasn't sure if I liked it. After sitting these last couple weeks, it mellowed a bit and gave the flavors more time to know each other. Derby has come and gone, but this pie in "these here parts" is always popular. It's a lot of ingredients, I hope you enjoy!
Derby Pie (All FA, unless noted otherwise).
1.5% Nut Mix
1.0% Vanilla Bourbon
0.5% Brown Sugar (TFA)
0.5% Marshmallow (CAPS)
0.5% Vanilla Classic
0.5% Cocoa
0.5% Fresh Cream
0.5% KY Bourbon (TFA)
1.5% Apple Pie
0.5% Cookie
Again, FA really does need a nice Pecan flavor, in order to make this proper. You could use walnut, I suppose. Butterscotch or Caramel could be nice, too.

Caps, because I have a 13ml bottle that rarely gets used, lol. I hear the FA Marshmallow is really good.
