Can I ask what kind of tobacco flavors and where are you getting them from ?
There are basically two kinds of tobacco flavoring ; Naturally Extracted and Synthetic.
With Extracted Tobaccos (NET) filtration is Key !
With Synthetic Tobaccos it depends on what components the manufacturer is using.
If you could post what kind of tobacco flavors and where you are getting them from, maybe we might come up with a more definitive answer.

Most of my flavors are Hangsen and Flavourart. Hangsen extracts the tobacco essence inside their operation. I don't know how Flavourart does it.

You may have already seen the Hangsen factory video, but they do highlight their direct tobacco extraction methods.

No, I haven't tried it with any other Banana, nor with cream. I tend to stay away from Ripe Banana myself, since it's so potent. But you could certainly give it a try! If you do, I'd be interested in what you come up with for those 2, as far as % for each, and what kind of cream you use. Not everyone has/uses the DX Banana Cream. :)

I have made it with TFA Strawberry Ripe @ 6% + TFA Strawberry @ 3% as a variation though, and it's quite good. Gives the Strawberry taste alittle "zing".
I have the Banana Cream on my list for my next order, but that might be a while as I don't need a lot yet. Guess I'll try a mix with some of what I have on hand. I adjusted the ingredients as follows. No idea if it will be any good, but will cost less than 50 cents to make a 10ml batch. I'll let you know in a few weeks if it is any good. :)

TFA Strawberry Ripe - 6%
CAP Sweet Strawberry - 3%
TFA Sweet Cream - 3%
TFA Ripe Banana - 1% (read this is strong, so starting low)
TFA Ethyl MAltol - 2%

Sounds good, Added to my list to make. :)

Some people think the orange is a little too much, but I like it. My favorite store bought juice is a blood orange mix, so i like the 'tartness' sometimes I throw a couple drops of mandarin orange in there too...not too much. 1% or less

I think the orange cream is a little mild on orange and heavy on cream, and was thinking of lowering it a little and adding a touch of CAP juicy orange. That's what I love about DIY, you can tweak things to your liking. :D

You might be heavy at 1%. That stuff is a mean bunny rabbit. Don't let it anywhere near plastic. An unattended spill left a trench in my scale top.
Hmmm, that sounds like some really bad stuff. I knew it was a tank cracker, but I was going to use it in a dripper. Not really sure if I want to even try it now if 1% is that strong. Might be better to just wait till my next order and get the Banana Cream. I have so many steeping right now anyway. :facepalm:

Here is something I am currently playing around with, I think I might be 'borrowing' from a post earlier in this thread;

Cinnamon Apple Danish
Apple (TFA) - 10%
Vanilla Swirl (TFA) - 7%
Cinnamon Danish (TFA) - 3%
My first attempt with this I tried Apple 5% and Apple Pie 5%, but the pastry flavor was dominant. Think I will try this with Juicy Peach and Strawberry, too.

Very close to my Apple Danish recipe. I dont use vanilla swirl and my Apple comes in at 7% instead of 10%. Its my current ADV. Ive done similar recipes with Banana, Strawberries and Cream, Blueberry, Raspberry and Black Cherry. So far the Apple works the best and the Blueberry and Strawberries and Cream are pretty good and the rest are just fair.

Does anyone have one for raspberry and koolata menthol?
I would love a simple recipe for this.
Thank you

I don't have any recipes like that, but maybe this could be a starting point...

Easy "menthol" i like and keep around all the time is:
Wintergreen 6%
Peppermint 3%
Koolada 1%
Cotton Candy 1%
All TFA as well

Maybe try adding 5% Raspberry to start, and adjust from there ... ?
If you use the "100 drop Test" method, you could try small samples until you tune it in to your personal tatses.
