Take some "extra high" e-liquid and cut it at least 50% with a Bickford's flavor of your choice. Now you'll have a great tasting, reasonably decent nic product. I'm going to go Bananadoc's route, however, and hope to eventually vape nothing but extract flavors. FYI: If you're doing your own, I've discovered that you should add 20% alcohol (Kahlua for me) by volume to your mix, to hold down any possibility of bad things growing in there!

I like the nutty flavors--they add to the "smoky" taste. pecan is very nice, as is pistachio... the rum is yummy--but a bit heavy by itself... i bet cutting it with nic juice would be good! Banana was tasty; but very subtle.
I sound like i am talking about wines here!
Yum. A tiny amount of vodka would be fine and shouldn't alter the taste much. BananaDoc knows I want Bickford's Kahlua flavor, to match my favorite cigar, so that's why I'd add Kahula liquor.
On the snus forum, I'm the guy who dips CatchDry Pepperment portions in Creme de Cacao for a Peppermint Pattie taste.

Excellent ... Now, where does that "Smoky" taste come from? From the original cartridge? "Smoky"Taste + a Nutty flavor and I'M IN HEAVEN !!!!
i am still battling trying to figure the psychosomatic part of all this.. i am a life long heavy smoker.. when i first discovered e cigs and tried them with two other members of my family we thought "miracles" at last a means of getting off the cancer causing burning leaves we need to feed our habit..
four weeks later still happy.. my cough has gone almost over night.. nine weeks later.. not so happy.. basically i think the joy of getting off the weed has worn off.. i am having problems knowing when i have had enough nicotine.. i think my tolerance factor has gone up and the inconsistency of the current technology is causing me problems.. i am never sure that its working well enough..
i even wonder just how accurate the nicotine levels are with the liquid.. what if i get sent some low level liquid by mistake.. how far would i get thru a fifty ml bottle before i twigged.. he he.. i even smoke the odd real cigarette simply as a yardstick to try and sort my worries out..
and for someone like u.. the real nightmare.. what if u get nicotine liquid by mistake.. hooked again..

Actually the smoke seems to come from the nut flavoring itself... some flavors have more of a "chemical" bite and some a mellow "smoky" flavor is the best way to put it.... its all trial and error. The way i look at it is; if i HATE it... i am out $3. So far, so good. Most have been good!

This strikes a chord with me. I noticed a big change in my attitude when I had an ecig that was unreliable. Suddenly I became concerned about my "good" ecigs failing on me and started "testing" them repeatedly whether I felt like smoking or not. Rather than going about my day and "mindlessly" getting my nic hit as needed, my brain was focused on whether or not my ecigs still worked. That's the addiction, and it's why some would argue that cold turkey is the only way to go. We still do have an addiction we are feeding and so still carry that anxiety, that fear, that we might not get our fix.
Since I'm not going cold turkey in the near future - this highlighted for me the importance of being comfortable with, and using regularly, multiple NRT options, so I know I'll get my fix in a satisfactory manner and don't fall into such preoccupation. It's easier to overdo the ecig than other NRT I think.
