tobacco flavor?

[marader78]

Just a quick question.I have some juice that is a tobacco/menthol flavor combo.Does anyone know exactly how the tobacco flavor is achieved?

Could be with a combination of Tobacco Absolute and Ethyl Maltol - common "base" for DIY juice

There are recipes all over ECF - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/170822-seedman-recipes.html

There are lots of tobacco flavors. Flavourart sells many different kinds. Then there's tobacco absolute, a very strong flavor you use just a bit of (I know Perfumer's apprentice sells that). Some people use both the absolute and a named tobacco style flavor. Menthol comes from Menthol crystals that are dissolved in PGA (pure grain alcohol) then diluted with PG.

There is a whole DIY section on ECF in Tips and Tricks

From what I've gathered there really is no tobacco flavor, rather different vendors and mixers use a variety of different flavors to mimic tobacco. IMO, none of which really taste like tobacco, though I've only tried a few. Correct me if I'm wrong, veterans, but don't most "tobacco" flavors use different nutty flavorings?

Some say peppery flavor too. Many claim to be like the real thing but most fall short but all subjective. It doesn't have to taste like my cigarettes just be good and tobacco juice is all I use. I enjoy BB from Ave. but others have their favs too. Now Cigar flavor can be almost spot on. I have my fav flavor too.
