If you use a tobacco flavor that is the one i would personally stock up on,if your making your own tobacco extract,then it will be good to go.The only tobacco type flavor i use now is Ry4 double,that is the 1 flavor i believe i may have trouble getting,so i will get the biggest bottle i can afford to buy,then it will buy me plenty of time to try and make my own version of it,i know there is caramel and vanilla,just need to find a suitable tobacco flavor to extract to get close to the same taste.
I'm going to try and get the 32 oz. bottle,if not definitely getting the 16 oz.
Yeah,i bought a small jar of it,and i agree definitely like tar,and that little jar will last me a lifetime haha,to make a 10% solution with it,i think it was 1 little tiny scoop full from the little spoon that came with it,added to 10ml of pg if i remember right.
Now that you mention it,i think that's how i made mine too.I remember trying to use the little spoon,then finally warming up the jar and using a syringe to measure out the 1ml.I made a 10ml bottle around a year ago,and still have probably 9ml left plus most of the jar of paste,so i'm set on it for a lifetime haha.
Yeah,i have a bottle of the Inawera virginia absolute.It is just as thin as a regular flavoring.To me,it doesn't seem to need any further diluting though,just used in small %,around 1-2% or so,but when Andria was around,she posted a recipe,i think it was called smocha,and she used the virginia at 2.5% without further diluting.
It's definitely a lot easier to work with than the paste.The only problem then becomes figuring out which one you like the best haha.Inawera has like 4 or 5 different absolutes.I may pick up a few more that they have to try,there is one that is a cavendish type,and the pipe tobacco's i have extracted,seemed like the ones with the cavendish were the best tasting to me.
Ok,finally got around to trying it haha.I gotta say,it's pretty good.The only thing i may change,is when i make more,i think i'll drop the egg nog a bit,as for me,it seems really up front,but still a good one even the way it is,i'm vaping on it now.Speaking of custards... @b.m. have ya tried the Brickhouse yet? You should be plenty steeped by now, right?
I'm guessing it's the egg nog i'm tasting up front,it's that spicy type taste,i think it's probably the nutmeg from the egg nog,but this was my first time using the Bourbon vanilla too,so it could be something in that also.My palate isn't that great to detect exactly where it's coming from haha.Hahaha... that's the differences in people's palates. I hardly even notice the egg nog. Funny how that works... Thank you for your thoughts on it, man. I'm happy that you're liking it!
As for the honey nut custard, I think it is still a bit too sweet and could use a little more refining. Maybe bring the honey a little more forward, lower the sweetener, and possibly add a tiny bit of AP. I don't have any AP at the moment, so I can't experiment with that part. Either way, I look forward to seeing what you think about that one.
