Tobacco creators...I need some help.

[acleme1]

I've recently started dipping my toes into the world of DIY. I'm mostly using super concentrates, and am trying to master pipe tobaccos. I've mixed several things that taste fantastic when I sample the juice with my finger, but lose almost all the flavor when I go to vape it. I've tried increasing the flavor, but it doesn't help much. What am I doing wrong? Why are all of my flavors falling flat when I go to vape them?

Are there any additives that I can use that will boost the flavor without changing the profile? I'm thinking of things like Cider Vinegar, ethyl maltol, grain alcohol, etc.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Have you tried less flavoring? (It sounds like you were at level 7 then added more)

More flavoring can often lead to no flavor.

No. I actually did not try to add less flavoring. I didn't realize more flavoring could lead to less flavor. I just assumed more flavor would lead to a more perfumy, chemically flavor. Not less flavor.

For instance, I am mixing up 15ml of juice at a time, and adding 10 drops each of super concentrated tobacco, plus usually .5 - 1ml of a tobacco base or 2.

Does that seem like too much flavoring?

Hard to say. (That's why I wrote my DIY blogs)

I have SC recipes that vary from 0.35% to 8%. That's a huge range and I found the 0.35% one the toughest to get right because it just seemed like too darn little flavor to do a thing.

I usually stick to 5 to 6 drops per 5ML range and fine it perfect. Tobacco needs to steep anywhere from 2 weeks to a month to bring out the true flavor.

he might be better reading hoosier's blog and trying each specific tobacco note to get , then adding it right to the correct proportions
