Tobacco Lover getting started with DIY , any suggestions appreciated...

[ENAUD]

Hi folks, Duane here. I've been vaping for about 7 months now, and just started to get interested in DIY. I mainly gravitate towards tobacco and RY4 type flavors. In the past I was a professional cook and for a few years a bartender, so mixing flavors kind of seems pretty natural to me. Since beginning vaping, I have been mixing different pre made juices together to alter them a bit. I decided to get a bunch of stuff for a just in case scenario, and then it hit me...why don't you just make your own juice now! Duh!

So in came my first order of 6mg/ml-50/50 and some 555 and American Blend from Mt. Baker. First thing I did was to vape a clearomizer of unflavored juice to get a feel for what the base flavor is. I was a little bit surprised that it did in fact have a distinguishable flavor. Then I shot a 30ml batch of each flavor at 5% flavoring to get a feel for the taste, and to sample and vape while they steep to observe any changes. Both flavors are vapable, and even pleasant at that level, but since I have been doing some reading and found some more economical ways to test for flavor ( small batch testing). Still, it will be fun to observe any changes that I can detect as they age. So...
I am leaning towards doing a batch of each individual flavor that I have coming, and take notes and observations. Then possibly combining different ones at that stage to determine how they play together to see if I want to pursue a recipe chase on a combination.

Here's my list of incoming flavors:

Mt.Baker

555
American Blend
Peach Tobacco
Toasted Almond

The Perfume Apprentice

DK Tobacco Taste
RY4-Asian
RY4-double
Cinnamon Sugar Cookie
Belgian Waffle

The Flavor Apprentice

Desert Ship
Virginia
MTS Vape Wizard ( not sure on who makes this modifier)
Kentucky Bourbon
Marshmallow


Hangsen


Arabic
Desert Ship
Golden VI
SE Tobacco
Virginia


MFS Tobacco absolute


I mainly use an 8mg/ml juice and settled on a 50/50 base and nic carrier.
Any suggestions from you pros out there on a 2-3 part mix ( ie which ones will compliment each other), or possible other flavors to add to my arsenal would be greatly appreciated. I've been looking up tobacco related threads, and will continue to do so...I can see that a whole bunch of 6ml containers may be in order
Thanks in advance for any advice

Seems a lot of people like to use AP(acetyl pyrazine) with their tobaccos. It adds a kind of nutty flavor and more body.

Thanks dIT, I will add that to my list of to get items

Cool, I should have added, it's usually used by adding just a drop or two per 10ml.

If you like ry4s, my personal favorites are TFA's ry4 double and Hangsen's. Delicious at 8%. Add a drop or two of AP, and you're golden.

Here's a recipe I found on this forum that I've been vaping almost constantly.

10% Double RY4 (TFA)
5% Caramel Candy (TFA) can use other TFA caramels also
5% Bavarian Cream(TFA)

It's a really smooth tasty RY4 that leans toward the caramel side. It's pretty good right off the bat but it gets better in a week or three.

Check out this thread for Inawera flavors. There are some Hangsen fans on there that swear these are better tobaccos. You can get some of them at E cigarette express now. I'm just going by their word.
