The Blend is fairly easy to make:
1 or 2 drops of
pure tobacco Absolute (not diluted)
10ml Everclear (Pure Grain Alcohol) or 10 ml PG, depending on your preference
1/4 teaspoon of Ethyl Maltol Crystals
Some people prefer not to use alcohol, but the crystals dissolve much easier in it (you may have to heat the PG to get it to dissolve) and also the TA mixes much more readily in PGA.
It was just easier to
buy the
tobacco Blend from TPA and I knew how much % to use since it was a fairly constant strength flavor.
Oh, well, time to stock up on pure TA. Some vendors I've seen for pure TA call it an oil, not sure if all TA is sold as such. Also, some venders are charging vastly higher prices than others.
The only TA I ever purchased was a 1.5 ml vial from OneStopDIY — the vial cracked on me and I lost half of it. I just made 10 ml of the blend; tastes a little strong (used about 2½ drops of TA), but I think usable. There's only about enough TA left for a little over 30 or 40 ml, so I hope I find a TA supplier soon!
