Have you tried the FLV tobaccos? I have 2 I've never opened. I've been thinking about mixing a couple of tobacco blends but IDK. If it tastes anything like most artificial baccy flavors I won't be able to vape it.

FLV tobacco flavors were my first tries at DIY. Which ones do you have? The FLV tobacco flavors have been enjoyable for me. However, I don't vape any of them as a standalone.

There are some tobacco flavors that are gross to me, yet have a following. The ones I dislike are the ones that come across as bathroom cleaner. Like a very refined Lysol pipe tobacco, who ever heard of that?

I've used roach spray in a pinch trying to kill wasps nests out in the yard. Because I have to get up close and personal to spray the nest, it usually results in a panicked flight response. During this I've been known to keep pressing the button on the can resulting in spray getting in my eyes, mouth, face, etc..

So I know what a good roach spray tastes like, specifically the Black Flag brand. Well just about every cigar flavor I have tried taste like Black Flag roach spray. They do steep pretty quickly though.

I know this is a subjective question, but.... I don’t care for tobacco flavors. I see people use them and say some don’t taste like tobacco. What does it add to the flavor if it’s not “tobaccoey”?

To me, in addition to the slight honey it imparts, it's more that it adds "body" to the mix. Using it as a single, at a much higher % (say 15), it does come across as similar to a honey cured cavendish, but at 4% I don't taste it that way. So maybe just to make a fuller and richer taste.

It may be hints of chocolate, almonds, caramels, coffees, etc.. blended in a way that puts the user in the mind of it being a "tobacco". Hehe sometimes it takes quite the imagination to even perceive some of them as truly being a tobacco flavor.

    I have Red Burley and Connecticut Shade. Will skip the roach spray, please.

    LOL yes please.

    Connecticut Shade is an authentic tasting leather flavor, useful for those who want to vape cowboy boots.:)
    Can't said I've ever had the desire. What about the Red Burley?

    I want to know what a plebeian Lysol pipe tobacco would taste like.

    It's a favorite. I don't know how to describe it. It's slightly clovish with hints of cocoa. It reminds me a bit of Halo's Freedom juice and Goodejuice Patriot tobacco, they must have used it in their mixes.
