What are some examples this is used in? Maybe some eliquids from vendors that it is in. I have ordered some , would like some ideas!

It is used alone, with EM, or to add depth to other tobacco flavors.
It is quite strong, thick, and dark, so diluting it makes it much easier to deal with.
Best way to figure out how it will work is to make a sample batch with your TA dilution as the only flavor.
What it taste like depends on the extraction method and the tobacco used to make it. Some are ash-y to me and some have more of an aged tobacco flavor. (Like cutting a plug out of the old leaf in the barn before hanging the green leaf if you've ever worked tobacco that would make more sense. I sometimes forget I've had an unusual life.)

thx, guess that is the best way to test it, I usually go with 20% on flavor...Carolina boy here,never worked it but did a lot of packing in barrels.
I also usually hover around 20% in flavoring.
Going to 5% of a TA dilution would be REALLY strong to me.
Go easy with it, a little really does a lot. (Sometimes more is better, but it's fairly rare with TA.)
If you've packed it, then the smell should bring back some memories. Distilled and concentrated, but they'll still be there.
Packing is much better than cutting and staking the stuff! I'd rather bale hay in Aug...
BTW: I dilute 3ml of TA in 27ml of PGA and use that as flavoring.

What i've ordered is 6ml at 50% diluted with 190 pga, they suggest 1 drop at a time, so it must be stout. I have 150 pga at the house, would you dilute it even more than they have it/
Appreciate the advice, haven't been mixing long but found it pays off except when you get to trying to many flavors in one mix, really like chestnut by it self but was thinking about adding a little TA to it..
