Tobacco "Top notes" - Post your recipes here

[ecitek]

If you mix your own tobacco flavors, you have probably tried adding top-note flavors (if I am using the term correctly).

I love the flavorings from Perfumer's Apprentice, so I recently stocked up on tobacco Absolute and some of their other tobacco flavors. I also bought some flavors to use as enhancements. I bought toasted Almond, a few different Chocolates, Ethyl Maltol, Caramel, Bacon, etc.

I LOVE the slight toasty flavor I get by adding a few drops of toasted almond. I bought the Bacon flavor to use sparingly to add smokiness. I also ordered a sample of Chestnut.

Just curious if anyone has tried similar flavoring experiments and what your recipes are.

I actually thought this was about Seedman -- they have a line called Top Note flavorings that actually makes a good base flavor

I use Seedman Top Note Commercial concentrate at 15%, plus 4 drops of PA "TA diluted" (with PGA) per 10 ml for my tob4 -- a strong "want a cigarette" vape.

Cut the TA down to 2 drops per 10 ml, and add Hazelnut at about 3% and that's my tob5 -- a really mellow all-day vape. (turns out I actually like VaporRenu's Hazelnut pre-mixed stuff -- I use 30% of that in a DIY, plus the 15% commercial and couple drops of TA diluted).

PA Kona is interesting, haven't quite got that down. Seems like a nice top note flavoring for a normal Coffee and Vanilla mix, couple drops per 10 ml (like TA).

I also have some of the Seedman's flavorings - Virginia, Honey, Captain Black and English. I use the Virginia all the time, but I like to add a bit of chocolate to almost all my mixes. I do prefer the PA flavorings though.

Update - I added the tiniest bit of Bacon flavor to my tobacco/chocolate/almond mix. Not enough to taste the bacon, but definitely adds a nice "smoky" flavor. Makes me wonder if the "Liquid Smoke" flavoring in my kitchen would be a nice touch, in very small amounts... hmm...

I'd be careful -- can't tell what's in a lot of normal kitchen flavorings, what's good to eat isn't necessarily good to inhale.

My favorite tobacco is:

Seedmans:Commercial 20%
Ethyl Maltol 10%
Seedmans:Captain Black 3%
TA 2%
FA:Hazelnut 1%

60/40 VG/PG mix at 25mg Nic.

This one is a cigarette! well not really but it keeps me off the real thing. ;-)

Thanks,
Jeff
