TFA western improvement?
submitted over 8 years ago by aeonion

To me the TFA western tobacco has become one of my basics when im tired of sweet flavors and just want to have a nice dry tobacco

i usually do a 5% in 60vg/40pg with 3nic

And i love it but it feels like it needs a little bit of improvement i feel a little bit tart/sour in the tongue and i would love to increase the mouthful feeling of the vapor

what would you recommend to add, to alleviate the tartness, and improve the body of the vapor without adding any sweetness to it as i use this flavor mainly to rest from sweet flavor.

Try some mts vape wizard or triacetin. Even 0.5% ry4 double might help. Here is one recipe to get an idea what else you can do https://s24.postimg.org/s5yym07qt/americanbb.jpg

TFA smooth is also triacetin.

When I first tested Western, I really didn't like it. So it's sat around for a long time. Then I made /u/t_mace's recipe for someone and decided to make myself a little, and it's pretty good. There's nothing sweet about it, and the Red Burley will help with the tartness and make it a little more neutral with its earthiness, and I could be crazy here, but DNB seems to add a nice mouth feel along with a nice ash flavor.

Nice you actually liked it?! No cough medicine flavor from the Western?

I was really surprised! Maybe it was just something weird going on when I tried it the first time. Or maybe I just needed to try INW Western to realize TFA isn't all that bad. Might have to revisit Am4a now too.

I add some DK base and caramel original. I was never big into tobaccos bit it was first mix and thought it was nice enough

yea i made a statement something to the extent of..

>that flavor contains corn syrup

..when im not entirely sure of that. I remembered tfa has multiple caramel flavors and retracted my statement not knowing which contained corn syrup.

i wasnt sure if you had seen the comment yet. It also appeared as "deleted" on my end.

I always use TFA M Type or TFA Turkish with the Western usually around 1%. They both pair really well. If you are trying to get a little better mouth feel try 1% Smooth from TFA. I find it really helps tobacco flavors.
