Tobacco Absolute?

[DaveNC]

I didn't want to go off-topic in the "Menthol Menthol Menthol!" thread, but somebody there mentioned adding tobacco Absolute to their tobacco flavored e-juices.

What is it, and what does it do? I'm getting to ready to jump into DIY e-juice, is this one of those staple items that I should have?

Thanks,

First off remember that TA is VERY, VERY strong. If you make the first batch too strong you're in the majority. You can either buy it in pure form which is VERY sticky/ hard to work with and cut it down with PGA and or you can buy it in the diluted form.

What is it, and what does it do?

It's a flavoring derived from tobacco leaves and has a nicotine level of less than .1%. People either LOVE or HATE it.
My Recipe
Realize 20 drops= 1ml
2 drops Tobacco Absolute
10ml PGA
1/4 tsp Ethyl Maltol (sweetener)
When first mixing try a tiny amount as it's powerful stuff

This is the TA: Perfumers Apprentice - Tobacco Absolute (2. Diluted) **

They also sell it undiluted, but jeesh, that stuff is thick. Any time I mention TA, I mean the TA diluted.

Pefumersapprentice's tobacco blend (sold in the same area at TPA) is a mix of TA plus ethyl maltol. Tobacco blend can be used as a "standard" flavoring, at anywhere from 5 - 12% (depending on how much flavor you like). I use it at 10%, plus vanilla, for my all day vape.

A little bit of TA diluted can punch-up a commercial eliquid's tobacco hit. Try just 1 - 2 drops of it in 10 ml of an eliquid, shake, test. By the time you get to 4 drops per 10 ml it will become quite pronounced.

Good luck!

I have purchased some TA and ethyl maltol, though I have yet to make the blend. i regularly use the TPA Tobacco Blend (Alc) in my all-day vape. Adds a fairly good tobacco hint to my mixes. I would concur that TA is very thick and potent.

Thanks. Looks like the blend is easiest. I need to get some of this to try out.
