I purchased a 10ml bottle of TA from ecigexpress. I know this is STRONG stuff to work with, but from what I've read it is very good to have on hand. My question is, what are some of the ways that you guys dilute this stuff to where you can work with it with some accuracy? I've heard ppl say just dip a toothpick in it and swirl it in your mix, and I've read where others dilute the heck out of it and then measure in %. What do you do, and has your way been successful at being able to use it and make the exact same recipe more than once? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I've recently been using Inawera's TA Virginia concentrate and adding it at about 1% with other flavours. It adds a complexity to the flavours that's very moreish, at least to me. I'm also pretty sure that the TA contains at least trace amounts of the stuff that I used to get from smoking tobacco. I haven't felt the tobacco cravings that I was getting fairly regularly which led me to lighting up from time to time. Hope that helps.

Some TA is almost like a tar substance ... As you have figured out already, TA must be diluted in order to use it easily.

Heat it (helps to thin it) so that you can transfer it into a larger bottle while adding a little unflavored PG nicotine base (a little at a time) until it is thin enough to easily use. You can start out stirring the TA and PG with a toothpick or something like that until it gets thinner.

Don't worry about the percentage of the TA in your new TA / PG mix. You need to get it about as thin as what 100% glycerin is.

Then just add it to your finished DIY tobacco flavored juice (drops at a time) as needed. Start out small, and keep adding drops until you like the outcome.

Keep track of how many drops you used per every 10 ml of finished juice, so you can replicate it again for future mixes.

Be advised that TA will really gunk up your coil and wick .... I stopped using it because of that.

Good luck
