It’s one of the few FA I don’t like. It has a strange taste to me. But others really enjoy it.
It seemed people either loved or hated it, not much middle ground. The “love” reviews were made me put it on the list. Eventually I may break down and get it

Let me know what you think of zeppola. It’s been on my list, but I was up in the air about it

Great fried dough taste. I like it @ 4% as a SF but it is a little dry but still very tasty.

I mix this a lot and at the start to 5 days you get a lot of the donut from it, after a week or more it settles and takes on a very good cereal like profile.

Can you suggest standalone tobacco flavor(not ry4 double) or oneshot or mix?I have tried many and can vape only couple of them and couple mixes.

I’m not dc99 but I like Soho FA at 10-12% as a shake and vape.

I like most of the FLV tobaccos but not a lot are just single flavors. There are some good 2 flavor mixes. One of my favs belongs to a friend and has two flavors. Its on ATF and called 2 flavor banger. Flv classic cig 1%-FA walnut 1%. Give it a few days steep. My absolute fav is also on there. By MGrimes. Its called shisha apple leaf
Inw shisha apple 1%
Fa black fire .25
FA cuban supreme 4
FA desert ship 2

Anyone have any simple tobacco mixes for FA Desert Ship? It's not for me, I don't do tobacco flavors at all. I have some ideas but don't quite know what to expect from Desert Ship.
I take back what I said above cause its in one of my fav tobaccos. I posted it above. Just dont try it alone

No I get it though, I tasted a tiny drop of the concentrate and it brought back memories of when I started vaping and was using tobacco flavors, had a couple that almost seemed a little plasticy? and were maybe the opposite of your caramel vanilla chocolate tones. I plan on getting some FA Cuban Supreme I think to fill it out.

The mascarpone/red date/pistachio/orange/pomegranate is quite good to me. Just hit a month old. I’m going to remix when I get home and drop the orange a bit and raise the mascarpone (I was very conservative on %). Good as is, a tweek could make it yummier

It is on my short-list too. The descriptions of fried dough, and baked puff pastry, are just too much for me to resist!:rolleyes::D

My single flavor tobacco go-to, is Inawera Am4a. It reminds me of the way my grandfather's pipe tobacco pouch used to smell. Amphora is a brand of pipe tobacco, and is what the INW Am4a is supposed to be modeled after. While I am a unfamiliar with Amphora; I do think Am4a is one of the best "pipe" concentrates I have come across.

It is fairly potent. I find 3.5% to be my sweet spot. With just a short 3 day rest, it is good to go. I do tend to prefer this one fresher. So, I keep my batches smaller. After it reaches two weeks old; it loses some of the brighter/"fresher" notes, and becomes more "ordinary." Other tobacco aficionados like this one well aged. If you decide to experiment with this one; be sure to do some test vaping, over the course of a month to find you own sweet spot.:)

I may pick it up next sale, and try for a Sicilian cannoli with the mascarpone

I wish I could do tobaccos. I loved the way my uncle’s pipe tobacco smelled. Unfortunately, it always as a vape tastes like wet tobacco leaves irl
I get that from a lot of the tobaccos I have tried so far. But, the INW Am4a is one of the few exceptions... for me. Most, I get either a rather generic "kinda sorta" cigarette (box/pack smell) taste, or I fail to get tobacco at all. Wet hay, and occasionally suggestions of dirt/wet earth, come to mind.

I am never going to be the tobacco connoisseur, that many others have attained. But, if I can't find another comparable to Am4a, my needs will still be satisfied.

But don't despair, Mel. There are plenty of good flavors to vape, without having to feel like one must venture down the tobacco road.:D :laugh:

I fell victim also. Mostly just some re-ups of PUR and FLV.
I had to get free shipping. Had to. It was hard to get to 50$ until I decided to get a gallon of vg and 250mls of 100mg nic. I already have a liter of vg and over 400 mls of 100mg nic (mostly in freezer) but I'll use it all eventually. Only spent 41$ all told. Only 7 flavorings.
I should be all set for a while.......
