So... what is your favorite tobacco flavoring?

submitted over 10 years ago by debacol

I'm quite new to DIY and only have a few TFA flavors at the moment. I am mostly a mild tobacco flavor fan... something that can be vaped all day. I'm looking to see what the community likes to vape with here. So far, I enjoy TFA's USA Blend at 5%. It's mild, a bit sweet but not chemical or perfumy.

Just looking for some more ideas.

Try Shade by FlavourArt. I haven't tried FLV Flue Cured Tobacco yet, but Shade has been my go-to for a while. Also, FA RY4 is pretty damn good.

I'm a fan of TFA's RY4 double for sure with AP.

I like bold tobaccos but I've stumbled on several decent milder flavors too.

TFA M-Type is pretty mild and not too bad by itself at 5 - 7 %.

Hangsen RY1 & RY3 are pretty mild too, as is Hangsen Cigar.

M type at 5% was way too strong and smelled terrible when vaped when I tried it like a year ago...

That's a shitload of M-Type if you ask me. That stuff is not mild at all in my opinion lol.

More proof that 35 years of Marlboros permanently damaged my ability to taste.

Hrmm... i have it and I can't seem to like it even though I do appreciate bold tobaccos. How long are you steeping it? I might give it a go again at 5% and steep it for awhile.

I don't do anything special for steeping, just time. I let tobaccos steep for 3 - 4 weeks before forming an opinion on them.

M-type at 5-7%???!!?? I can't stand it above 2-3%. I use it more as enhancement at .5-1%.

I'm sold entirely on FLV Flue-Cured. Virginia from them is amazing too, but Flue-Cured is just a bit more deliciously complex. Their flavors are designed by Mother Murphy's, who are a legend in flavorings for tobacco, so I guess it shouldn't be a surprise they make amazing tobacco flavorings.

INW also has some really good tobaccos.

can't seem to find FLV Flue-cured. got a site or at least a name for the manufacturer? Is this the one you are talking about? http://www.ecigsplus.com/tobacco-flavorings-c-54_92/flue-cured-tobacco-concentrated-flavoring-p-369.html

What % do you mix it at... 5%?

Flavorah Flue-Cured Tobacco. http://www.flavorah.com. They sell their single 15mL flavors for $5.99 on ebay, IIRC, but the way to go is order a 7-flavor multipack from them and use the "reddit+" code to get another multipack free. You get 14 bottles (plus usually freebies) for $35 shipped, which is like $2.50 a bottle.

I usually mix the Flue-Cured at 3-5%. Flavorah stuff is highly-concentrated. There's been reviews of nearly all their flavors posted by /u/redruffensore here recently if you search for them.

Great thank you for this. I'll definitely try their Flue-cured and virginia. How long do you think they need to steep? Are they decent after a day or do they need weeks to steep?

FA Virginia + FA Peach = the 300ml jar next to me that can never stay full

What percentage do you use for each flavor?

1 points

by Foodacrisover 10 years ago

2% Virginia, 1-2% Peach depending on how sweet you like it. FA White Peach is also very good

Thanks. I ordered White Peach as well, gonna try both when it gets here.

Sorry I know this is old but I'm thinking of trying this. How long do you normally steep it?

INW's AM4A is pretty cool, solid pipe tobacco. I would also be remiss if I didn't mention TE/FE's Black Mile Plus as well as TFA's Black Honey Tobacco.

I just ordered some Am4a. Do you have a recipe you use or any recommendations and tips? I've never tried making any tobaccos until now as I've been craving cigs and getting sick of sweet fruity and dessert flavors.

i like it at 2%, which is actually kind of high. it's also very good at 1%. goes good with a little bit of TA (like 0.25-0.5%) too.

it's not AM4A, but i also have this recipe which is a very dry, yet slightly sweet tobacco flavor. i wouldn't go out of my way to get the ingredients though. for example, the FA Tuscan is very difficult to work with, and the recipe would probably be fine without it.

right on, thanks. I think "dry" is what I'm craving so i may try your other recipe and just tweak it to work with what i got. All this god damn delicious sweet wetness is starting to get boring if that makes any sense. thanks again
