Tobacco DIY %?

[mcclintock]

I use tobacco flavorings, as a single flavor from .5 to 6% depending on concentration and in one mix at .03% . There's simply too much range to guess at. I have ended up making mixes where I remixed them, started off with 20 ml and ended up making 5 bottles from that, it was so strong (and kept getting stronger). Couldn't just add base to the bottle, wasn't enough room, and I didn't need it all immediately. Could have pitched it but no need. The main thing is to get something mixed you can try and/or let steep.

Thanks! I will have the ability to mix the batch bigger if a test turns out it is too strong just recalculate and add base. Just looking for a starting point because I am getting everything from 3% to 8% for suggestions. Seems like I will be needing a dripper to test while I do my first DIY batch.

Steve... you are seriously overthinking this. Honestly.

 

[SteveS45]

Jim it sounds like you do not DIY and you comment is not helpful. But Thanks for your input

Yes you need a dripper. Yes you need to taste test to see what works for you. No, no one can tell you exactly what will taste good to you.

Jim it sounds like you do not DIY and you comment is not helpful.

It sound to me that YOU are the one who does not DIY. Many people have tried to help you, yet, you just demand that some one to tell you EXACTLY what percentage and exactly how you do it so it will taste good to you. That is an unrealistic expectation. Mix, taste - remix, taste. Find what works for you.

 

[SteveS45]

I am not asking for people to tell me exactly what I should use I am asking what THEY use and what their experiences are with percentage they use. The tobacco flavors I have on order do not have a manufacturer recommendation as almost every other flavor they sell. I am only asking about the tobacco and none of the other flavors I purchased. Thanks for your input.

 

[SteveS45]

One other thing I am not making any demands I am making requests for personal experiences and observations. If I wanted to use to use the data from an Internet Search I could. Thanks Again!

For Chrisake, man! Just get started, then come back and tell us what was good! You WILL succeed!

 

[SteveS45]

Who is Chisake? If my FedEx delivery had arrived I would have gotten started already. What is everyone cranky this AM? Thanks for your input

 

[arkansawdave74]

Oh didn't mean to sound cranky at all. Guess I shoulda put a winky face. I was cheering you on!! I'll fix it...

Actually Steve... I DIY extensively, thank you very much.

You have been demanding from the start and even quite shirty.
You won't accept recipes, but demand user opinions.
What do you think recipes are ?
How do you think the opinions are formed?

You could have had several bottles done and tested just in the time this thread has been up.
Just do it. This ain't rocket surgery.

 

[SteveS45]

Jimbo I have not demanded only requested you know the old saying if you have nothing good to say? You sound like a chef who will not share his recipes..............

Dave no worries buddy! But who is Chisake? LOL

 

[Jim_ MDP]

It's just Jim... Steverino.
And strike that about making samples already, I cross posted with you saying you're still waiting on your kit.

Still being snarky though, I see.

 

[SteveS45]

Just Jim I am sorry you feel I am being snarky as you say I do not mean to come across that way. But please do not continue because I would like my thread to stay active. Thanks Again

 

[Jim_ MDP]

Couldn't help yourself could you?
Just to be fair, I went back and reread the thread just to be sure I wasn't mis-characterizing you.

I wasn't.

You may want to give some thought to why there aren't any posts from others using your particular re-labeled brand of concentrate... and why even those others who wanted to help stopped posting.
That was going to include me, by the way.
Now you can have your "active" thread to yourself.

But... vape safe, and do enjoy your mixing... it's really not rocket surgery.

 

[SteveS45]

Please show me some documentation concerning your statement of relabeled. Are you saying Liquid Barn does not make their own flavors in their Diacetyl FREE laboratory?

 

[SteveS45]

Dripper for testing laid out for me at the B&M Vape Shop probably going to get a Mutation X.

 

[mcclintock]

Drippers do go nicely hand in hand (doesn't have to be fancy) with DIY on multiple lavels. At the least, you need a spare clearo.

 

[SteveS45]

First I decided to get into DIY so I ordered a kit, now purchasing a dripper and will be getting into building next. Is this a form of Shinyitis or is there another name for this?

I only have the LB Vanilla Cream Tobacco. Note that it is a VG based flavor. I haven't played much with it, but do have some notes in my calc. It was discernible but somewhat weak at 5%. At 8% I can taste it well, but get only a rather vague hint of plain wrap, "clear" synthetic tobacco. It is not a player in my tobacco lineup.

That's all I got. Hope it helps.

Edit: Just noticed I also have the LB Butterscotch Graham Tobacco in my inventory. I have not tried it yet. I will play with it a bit and report back.
