second go at DIY and I'm HOOKED

[hexagondun]

Hello All,

I've whipped up a batch of a 5 Pawns 'Gambit' clone that I learned of somewhere around here, using all TFA flavors--
for those interested in the recipe:
10% TFA Apple Pie
5% TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
2% TFA Caramel
1% TFA Cotton Candy

As I've never had Gambit myself, I have no point of reference for comparison; this recipe is, however, great, and my new all-day. Very balanced and subtle without ant steeping. I'll be making up a 60ml bottle to allow for steeping tomorrow.

Now I'd like to make a nice menthol tobacco flavor. I have TFA black Honey tobacco, Double RY4, menthol concentrate, and a slew of other flavors that might sweeten up the mix. Does anyone have a good menthol recipe that employs either or both of those two tobaccos as a base? Also, generally, how much menthol should I start with when trying to find my sweet spot?

Thanks in advance!

The normal menthol usage is 5% and that's a maximum amount.

Thanks Detra. Very good to know.

I don't use menthol. Just wanted to say congrats on your success at DIY!

Thanks Debik! It really is exciting.

I've heard good things about that one. Just saw a YouTube on some reviews. There are a bunch of threads on DIY'ing. You should post your recipe on here because I'm sure others would enjoy trying it. DIY'ing is soooooo addictive. But so much fun. Good luck to you and happy mixing.

I forgot to post the recipe -- not my recipe -- but will edit the original post with it right now!
