So I'm very new to mixing and so far I've only been experimenting with the small number of flavors I bought, making 2-4 flavor mixes just to learn how my flavors interact with each other.
This week I mixed a fruit and a cream which somehow ended up tasting exactly like the raw, unburned tobacco used for rolling cigarettes or pipe tobacco. And when I say exactly, I mean it. I felt like I had just walked into a pipe store when I took that first puff, it took me wayy back
Just figured I'd share this for anyone who's trying to get that raw tobacco flavor but doesn't have tobacco/ry4 available. Or for anyone who wants to experiment with it
I'm also curious if anyone knows why this ended up tasting the way it does. Is it my percentages, or one of the flavors I used? I'm very keen on learning more about this hobby.
Flavors mixed:
2% FA cherry
4% TFA vanilla bean ice cream
Mixed at 50/50 for my mtl rtas
Given that FA cherry has a pretty heavy vinyl/plastic off note, and you're pushing it pretty hard and TFA Vanilla bean ice cream can frequently promote a peppery taste it's very possible you're conflating a vague astringency, pepper, and a loosely fruity undercurrent as some form of tobacco-ish flavor. It's an interesting idea but it doesn't seem as something I'd want to try myself.
Yeah I do get the pepper from vbic, but I haven't tested the cherry with anything else yet. It isn't great, it's not something I'd vape either lol. But I expected that being a new mixer. Just wanted to share my findings for those curious

It might have something to do with you enjoying the taste of gunked up blackened coils, dude.
It's an unusual preference so probably an unusual palate.
Flavors can mix in very bizarre ways. For example, I had a fried ice-cream flavor once. If you took a drag of it, then a sip of a Miller highlife, it tasted exactly like a margarita.
My local bar has a chocolate cake shot. It doesn't taste like much of anything until you take a bite of lemon, then it's straight up chocolate cake.
