Tobacco Key Accord from PA - Can it be used for DIY?

Perfumers Apprentice - Tobacco Key Accord

The Tobacco Key Accord formula page lists a few oils as ingredients, such as Clary Sage Oil and Cedarwood oil. Has anyone used tobacco Key Accord for making their e-liquid? I would like to have another DIY option besides tobacco Absolute.

I generally use this site to learn about particular flavor oils:
Clary sage oil (Salvia sclarea) - information on the origin, source, extraction method, chemical composition, therapeutic properties and uses.

Interesting note about it from that site-
"In vapor therapy, clary sage oil can be used for nervous tension, stress, depression, anxiety, insomnia and menopause. It is particularly effective to help ease depression and create a more positive outlook on life and can also help to boost the creative side and intuition."

Anyway, those two "oils" seem fine. Some of the other stuff... could clog your atomizer if you vape enough of it.

Thanks, PureVapor. While I could use "a boost in creative side and intuition", I don't want to kill my atties in the process. Anyone else care to chime in? Anyone currently using Tobacco Key Accord?

What I've read on the accords is that they are much more refined than the absolutes.
I think you may run into strengths and taste/smell problems with them, as opposed to using absolutes. Much easier to cut for strength than to add for it. Some oils really stop (kill) vapor production, one must be familiar enough to do no harm. Those are more for diffusers. I would be doubtful and a bit cautious of them in inhaled vapor. Cedar oil is one for sure to not inhale, not as familiar with the others listed. Using as an air freshener or diffuser fragrance is much different than inhaling directly.

Thanks, Kate51. I guess I better stick to the products in "Professional Flavors for DIY" section of the Perfumer's Apprentice web site.

That's probably a very wise choice.

I've been wondering the same thing, as it stands right now I don't think it would be suitable for vaping, but I'm sure she could adapt it to a tobacco flavor, and include it in a full line of tobacco flavors when she opens up a vape section on the site along the lines of Flavourart, but better and cheaper
