I don't know how to fix that but don't give up on DIY just yet.
To continue your DIY and Tobacco quest you might want to try to go to the Perfumer's Apprentice thread and look for those who have made recipes with Linda's Tobacco Absolute - try a search of the thread for absolute. On the PA product page there are four tobacco products and
reviews under a couple of them. References are made to ethyl maltol crystals and that is what the Cotton Candy is, so it's premixed and it's used as a sweetner too. I don't know how many drops of it you would need but maybe one of the other guys would know. I don't mix tobacco flavors but maybe that will help you. As a side note, if you order you can go to the 'In Development' page and request 3 samples but she wants feedback on those if you get some.
If you continue with DIY may I suggest you get Dan's (scubabattdan) Excel calculator at the top of the main DIY page to start.
The easiest way I've found to use the calculator is to go to the Recipe tab and go to Tools/Protection and unprotect the sheet. That way you can enter your own recipes at the bottom. Enter your recipe (I name mine like Mac's Apple so I know I'm looking at ones I created). If I make another Apple to tweak the recipe I create a seperate line and name that one Mac's Apple2, etc. That way you don't lose the precentages of the first one.
Next, go to the main page of the calculator and at the bottom right box- not the top one - and use the dropdown to choose your recipe you entered. Now, when you enter the info needed in the top left box, Nic, VG, PG, PGA, the one on the bottom right will tell you how many drops of flavor(s) to use for the amount of
juice you want to make.
I use 1ml and 3ml syringes without needles to measure my mixes so they are very precise. That way I can duplicate them up to whatever size I want using the claculator after they are tweaked at 3, 4 or 5ml.
You can make specific recipes down to 3ml for three flavors and 1ml for one flavor. I say that because if you mix a 3 flavor mix in a 3ml size, the flavor with the least amount of percentage might not show an amount of drops to use because the amount you are making is so small. You'll have to SWAG that one or make it in 4 or 5ml.
