Then you would not like the other one I doctored up today. I mixed some Fuji (FA) 1.5% with Original tobacco (PUR) 6% to see how they pair. Initial tests are positive but will wait until it ages a bit before I decide to keep, tweak, or forget about. The reason I did that is the original tobacco just could not keep my attention for longer than a few minutes.

I mixed both PUR cheesecake flavor together using 4% for the NY cheesecake and 3% for their cheesecake graham. Thick and creamy but no cheesecake flavor. Either I need to steep longer, its been 2 weeks or I need to up one of the flavors. Which one would you suggest upping the % on?
:)

Right now, I'm happy with a blend of 5% NY Cheesecake & 3% Cheesecake Graham. I do want to try the NY cheesecake with CAP Graham Cracker & will likely start @ 7 - 8% NY Cheesecake & 1.25 - 1.5% Graham Cracker. Hopefully, I will get this mixed in the next few days. Purilum flavorings seem to be somewhat slower to homogenize than most other flavorings I use. My experience is 4 to 6 weeks mix & shake. Recently, I've been using my Badger for these & see somewhat shorter aging times. Maybe 3 to 4 weeks. As always YRMV... :cool:

    To get a jump on that I mixed 120ml's of your suggested pur Cheesecake base.

    I’m currently trying the vanilla nut brittle again. I’m just about over my cold so I can taste it better. I’m picking up on the flavor now but it seems really mild. I mixed it at 10% and wondering if I should go higher.

    This what I am just starting to figure out. Put all mine up for several weeks before tasting again. Frustrating since you can't know if your percentage is off.

    How long did you both wait? I mixed mine at 7% and it's 2 weeks old today.
    I know I am not 'one of the two' you just asked but I did mix mine @6% on 3-1-18. Saw this post and filled a tank. Bitterness is now gone(tested earlier) and the vanilla/nut note is coming through. Not a bad mix. Enjoying it now....
    But for me it did need a 3 week steep.

    Yeah, same here. I guess I got spoiled when the ButterMint was good almost overnight. I think on the cheesecake flavors I will need to up my % since I am not getting any cheesecake flavor at all. I also mixed-as a standalone - the FW ButterPecanRipple @ 10% and am not getting much flavor from it either. Others I have steeping are Purilum
    Pineapple cake @ 8% mixed on 3-1-18
    Watermelon @ 12%( I like strong watermelon) 3-16-18
    Fresh Coconut @ 6.5@ with Cap sweet cream and Whipped cream both @1% 3-16-18
    Mango @ 7.5% 3-16-18

    :)
