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!

Cookiebun, there's no such thing as too much "vaping" so I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out.

Lyndagayle, thanks for starting this thread. I had no idea that TA was becoming scarce, nor how much the costs had increased. Since it is critical for a few of my recipes, I managed to find a vendor that had it at older pricing and cleaned them out. Too bad they didn't have much...

Is "[Tobacco]" from Nude Nicotine the same as Tobacco Absolute or their version of it?

I'm not much of a tobacco vapor, it's nice once in a while. I would like to be able to make a great tobacco juice to help friends convert to vaping.

It is their version of an absolute extract, but it is not true Tobacco Absolute. If you are just looking for a good base tobacco flavor, it should suit your needs.

The real Tobacco Absolute is an extraction made from Nicotiana Tabacum, a Bulgarian tobacco. If thta is what you are looking for you can find it at Azure Vaping - Azure Vaping 1.5 ml vial Tobacco absolute w/ ethyl alcohol

The transition from tobacco to fruit (or probably other flavor) is easier than one might think. I found fruit flavor is more tasty than tobacco the moment I switches. For a month or so I used both. Then stopped tobacco and never missed that.

During that month I actually also enjoyed chain-vaporing pg + vg + fruit, without nic, in between vaporing regular 24mg nic juice...
