I think any mixer can use help at times,no matter how good they are. I can and have created my own recipes. Not all winners but I've had a fair amount. I do find it much easier to adapt someone else's recipe at times but that can get quite frustrating for me when so many folks have such sweet tooths.
Anybody got mixing plans? I plan on mixing the baccy recipe I posted.Should be interesting. I've had a bottle of tobacco absolute for a long time but never used it before.
Just worked out a simple Bourbon tobacco I'll probably mix too
Bourbon Tobacco
TFA Vanilla Bourbon 2%
FLV Raisin Rum 1%
HA Flue Cured 5%
Sounds good to me.

For me, definitely...
for you, maybe a couple... Vanilla Custard Cheesecake (OOO) & perhaps the Warm Custard, Creme Brulee, Honeycomb (VTA). I doubt the Golden Syrup, Vanilla Buttercream Frosting or Hard Crack Toffee (VTA) would be of much interest to you... These are the most new flavors I've had @ once in quite a long time. Everything else was just refills... 
For me, definitely...
That VTA Honeycomb is some delicious stuff! I have a recipe for you but I'll have to post it later.... off to work right now

Thanks @ceeceeisme, just in time for mixing...
I'll be getting the cheesecake and considering the custardFor me, definitely...
I really feel bad for you, so many flavors you can't taste and many others being too sweet. While I have preferences and don't do tobacco as I haven't had any urge to try them, I enjoy a variety (yum to pears and apples). I've thought of you when I've had one that's too sweet for me, considering that's how many flavors are for you.
Cool Guava: I made this 2 weeks ago. I think it has too much WS23 for my taste, not sure of the balance of citrus. I may play with this or set it aside as I have plenty of others to try.
Arnold Palmer: I tried this a day after mixing, it seemed like a good idea for a 90deg day at the lake. Country time lemonade (yuk) on the front and a little tea at the exhale. This needs to sit for awhile, hopefully the flavors will balance out.
I'm giving the ginger peach and Fuzzy (aka Fizzy) Rum with ginger peach a few more days before trying them. Also waiting in the wings are Whiskey Haze and Irish Whiskey which could be a nice night cap as we watch the moon rise over the mountains.
It's not so bad. There are a handful of sweet flavors I can vape for some reason.There are also many flavors I just stay away from. I can deal with the sweetness in most cheesecakes by adding a dash of plain cheesecake and tobacco blends usually work just fine. I have my boozy stuff to and a couple teas I like. So,you see even with my limitations I have plenty of stuff I can vape. Hope you like the Whiskey recipes
I think I’m feeling the same way. I like the flavor profile, but it’s very syrupy to me. I can now say I’ve given it a fair chance
Chefs order has shipped!!! I’m excited for the gin and tonic to get here, sounds tart and refreshing
Did you pay for tracking? I couldn't see paying an extra $5 just to get a tracking number. I placed my order on the 23rd and don't expect to see it for at leas another week and a half at the earliest.
Got my scale on Sunday, so I now have four 20ml single flavors mixed and steeping (used 30ml bottles for shake room): PUR Sweet Tobacco (7%), OSDIYS Lotta Latte (10%), OSDIYS Lucky Shot (10%), and PUR Butter Mint (5%).
Measuring by weight was quick & easy, but I really need to learn patience with that scale though... It takes many seconds for weight to register. I was off by a few hundredths of a gram for almost everything, even though I knew it was slow when I bought it!
Having nothing more to do but put away the supplies afterward (no washing) was a breeze!
The percentages I used for each were numbers that seemed to work well for others, so I ran with them. All smell good so far, so I can't wait to see what I end up with. Any experience on any of these flavors and your percentage (SF & mixes)/aging guidelines? I'm already contemplating mixing a couple of these together... For Science (hence the larger SFT size).
I may change one thing going forward though: I read somewhere that 100% VG was better for storing nicotine (due to the viscosity of the VG when it is cold, keeping it fresher, something, something...), so that's what I bought. Due to the viscosity, it is much more difficult to measure out correctly for me. What bases are your 100mg nicotine in and why?

I've got sweet tobacco and lucky shot. I think that the 7% is probably very good for the tobacco but the 10% might be a little high for the lucky shot. I mixed it the first time I tried it at 10% and it was really strong. I never did go back and mix it with less. I'll have to look for that to try again.
LOL, okay, I think I really HAVE created Zima, I accidentally topped up my Apricot Brandy with my G&T. It may be time for a little judicial washing out and starting over, as seriously, this is EXACTLY what I imagine Zima tastes like.
IDK what's going on with my organizational skills man. I'm not feeling too bright. LOL. It must be all the yoga, I did "extra" yoga yesterday and it was great and all-- yesterday.
Think I will compose a "shopping list" for when I go out later. I'm also gonna have to wait until tomorrow to like, go get my meds since I'm, oh, that's probably the problem. I ran out of lithium tablets and am now on the capsules. My body is not a fan of those, so I had to call ditzy secretary again, although to be fair I'm not sure which one of us was "more ditzy" but I have about 2 days until I crash.
LOL, my doc is getting an earful when he gets "back in the country." I'm gonna ask him where he "went" because somehow I don't think it's "Greece, Rome, Italy, France," every vacation, this may be a way for him to "have some me time," frankly.
LOL, though, that might backfire, I mean like what if he's visiting his dying mother who lives in Costa Rica, I mean, who KNOWS. He looks elderly enough to me that his parents are both dead, but maybe he has a sis or something.
Curses! Somehow a Chef's one shot "G&T" sounds refreshing honestly, compared to what *I* seem to have just created. Zima.
Oh well the good news is, I WANTED to try it, so maybe my Creator is just doing me a solid or whatever. LOL.

I have PG and VG nic, mostly PG. I remember the discussions about which was better, but IIRC the difference was negligible when they were stored properly (little air in the bottle, polycone cap) in the freezer. I, too, find mixing with PG nic easier.
I'm often off by a little when I mix by weight, but I don't sweat the small differences. If it's a big miss (done that), I usually adjust the other flavors proportionately. I can always dilute it a little if it's too strong (that hasn't happened yet). Other times if I think I might be interested in the change in the ratios, I go with it. I update my recipe, save it so it adjusts my inventory and then make a note about what I did differently. Those notes help me fine tune a mix. Have fun!
