Ok, I am about to do my final order. I want some tobacco flavorings. Before I order I would like some input please. So far I have FA tobacco blend PG, FA cowboy and FA virginia. Does this sound like a good choice. I am also seeing that some of these need to be diluted first. Can you tell me which ones and how. Any and all suggestions welcomed. Thanks.

Flavor art is good, I like their Camtel and oRyental4. Virginia I was not crazy about, tastes very much like hay to me. Steeped not too bad with some caramel added. Perque Black is good. They do need to steep for 2 weeks to be at their best. I also really like Flavors West Honey Wood tobacco, I use that one everyday in my flavor selections. I also have another Flavors West tobacco I need to mix up, it is Latika or something like that. I also like FW Maple Rum tobacco, I add more rum :) LOL bnrk

Personally, I'm not a fan of the FlavourArt tobacco flavor concentrates, although I do own most of them. I have all sorts of tobacco concentrates in my DIY stash---58 bottles in all, although some are duplicates, from many different sources.

I agree wholeheartedly that Tobacco Absolute is an indispensable ingredient. Absolute is a "natural extract" tobacco flavoring and the most concentrated of any flavoring I know. It should be used very sparingly to avoid an "ashy" side flavor (unless you actually like that ash-tray taste; I generally don't). Absolute is brilliant when added in small ratios to other tobacco flavorings.

I agree with the previous posters. By all means add a bottle of tobacco absolute. You will have to dilute it with 10 ml PG and 1/4 tsp. ethyl maltol so make sure to order some EM too. I've got nearly all of the FA tobaccos but so far I haven't found one that wows me on its own. I'm a Virginia lover and FA Virginia mixed with equal parts of absolute is absolutely my go to vape. I can't vape sweet fruity and dessert vapes all day but I do like them occasionally. Good luck, have fun, be patient and don't expect to fall in love with your first mix. It could happen but more than likely you'll be messing with the first brew for several hours/days to get it just right.

I am watching this thread with interest too.I have just started mixing tobacco flavors.I am just starting to get some good flavors.They change daily so it is hard to wait for them to develop flavor.I just ordered some Seedmans Com. and some Blackjack ,I like really strong tobbacco flavor and FA tobacco doesn't seem to do it.Does anyone know anything about these
flavors?I want to try the Absolute too.I spend too much money on this stuff.lol

I just buy the tobacco absolute diluted (with pga). I use it at 2- 4 drops per 10ml of final eliquid, on top of a seedman commercial concentrate at 10 - 15%. Add a couple% of a hazelnut, caramel, or vanilla, 2 drops ta, for mellow, or just seedman and 4 drops ta for a really firm tobacco.

With the tobacco absolute, how much of the tobacco absolute do I use with the 10ml PG (can you use VG?) and the 1/4 tsp EM?

EM crystals won't dissolve well with VG. Use two drops of TA with 10 ml PG and 1/4 tsp. EM crystals. I put the crystals in the PG and set the bottle down in very hot water and shake often. It will take an hour or longer for all of the crystals to dissolve. Then I add 2 drops of TA, shake and enjoy! Some like it mixed with PGA but I don't like the taste nor the bite of alcohol in my mixes. YMMV
