@Spydro
Thanks man!
well basically i loved the berries and had it almost every day and one night we met up for drinks and i told him to taste it.
he isnt even a vaper or smoker but does enjoy a hubbly every now and then and so he tasted it and was like thats crap! tastes like toilet spray!
those exact words stuck in my head and to this very day i cant vape it.

what INW flavours can you recommend?
I been using mainly TFA cubano. which i quiet like.
didnt really love any of the Flavour art ones.

I've only had INW Gold Ducat so far and recommend it.

It's like a dark pipe tobacco, like the kind used to make Rum and Maple. But minus the actual Rum and Maple. It has a sort of dark chocolate aftertaste. Very aromatic and very nice

Gitanes homage
http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/598996/Gitanes+homage

2% Burley (FA)
2.5% Caramel (FA)
4% Catalan Cream (FA)
1% Holiday Spice (TPA)
1% MTS Vape Wizard (FA)
2% Toasted Almond (TPA)
3% Western (TPA)

Flavor total: 15.5%
Western is a bit of a shock. It's a dead ringer for Gitanes. Among the poseurs that I used to hang with in the 80s you were either a Left Bank Gitanes kinda guy or a Gauloises artiste. I was the latter, but for any of you out who were the former, this will bring back the those heady days.

For those of you that don't know the flavour, it is in your face tobacco almost verging on a cigar, and ashy with a decent throat hit. I added the cream to lift it and the caramel, nutmeg (Holiday Spice) and almond to give it lesser notes and complexity. The burley is there purely to drag the mix towards a more mainstream tobacco flavour.

Steep: 3-4 weeks.

@Viper_SA - it goes very nicely with a bog wet single malt, late at night.

I was a NET prophet for most of my vaping life. Only vaped NET tobaccos. Started with Heather's Heavenly Vapes, some from naturally-extracted-tabaccos.com and still vape El Toro Cigarillos from House of Liquid and Tarks Select Reserve Matador. None of the tobacco flavoured juices or tobacco concentrates were to my liking. Until I started DIY again about 3 months ago. The tobacco concentrates have certainly improved vastly and I have mixed two now that can stand up to NETs in all respects imho.

Just a question on NET's. If you are using cigarette tobacco or pipe tobacco to make an NET would the added chemicals in the tobaccos also be extracted into the liquid. I would imagine you would need raw tobacco to make a clean NET.

To the taste bubble I now have in my head this comes across as divine. Love nutmeg. Thank you, shall give it a go as soon as I can get Western in my cupboard. Presume some curing required?

EDIT: See you say 3 - 4 weeks steep in the link destination. Maybe edit your post above accordingly?

Not a recipe as such, but some good pointers on net extraction.

Do not create net from cigarettes. It is horrible tasting and full of bad stuff. Cheap cigars contains the same crap. Stay away. I usually create my net from green Virginia that you can buy fresh from your local tobacco shop.

Also do not extract for extended periods. I found the best flavour comes from raising the temp to about 40-50 degrees, then after 3 hours remove, and strain.
Do not use aggressive solvents for the extraction either. Vodka sounds like a good idea, but it extracts compounds that you do not want. 80% pg, 10% vg, 10% water is a good solvent for net extraction.
Do not ever squeeze the tobacco. Squeezing is a sure fire way to introduce some horrible flavours into your juice. Let it strain naturally through a coffee filter. I filter mine 3 times, then bottle, and let it stand. Once the particles settled out i carefully decant to new container.
I will do a video at some stage.

Subbed. I am excited for this thread. I've been meaning to get into tobacco for some time. Anyone tried a white chocolate cappuccino tobacco yet?

Any chance you'd be willing to sell some? I smoked Golden Virginia for 12 years and your post is giving me cravings

GrantRez420 · 28/6/16

Really excited about this thread.
To be honest, the only reason I decided to go the diy route was to try clone or get similar results to the old Black Cigar by vape elixir. Since the new formula came out I simply can't enjoy it.. need to find a good recipe

Jono90 · 28/6/16

i got the following flavours:

FlavourArt Tuscan Reserve Ultimate

Inawera 7 Leaves

Sure thing. Will send you a sample first. Might only make some mid July.

I think the Rocketpuppy RY4 deserves a place in any tobacco thread.
Straight up RY4 without the exaggerated CaraMel and Vanillas, that is usually the case with these types...

5% TFA RY4 Double
0.2% TFA Acetyl Pyrazine 5% PG
0.5% FA Vanilla Bourbon
0.5% FA Vienna Cream
0.5% FA Caramel

I have a 30ml bottle a month of this, despite not being the biggest RY4 fan

GregF · 28/6/16

Something I am playing with at the moment:-

3.5% Double RY4 (TFA)
2% 7 Leaves (FA)
0.25% Bourbon (CLY)
0.25% Cream (CLY)
0.25% Caramel (CLY)
0.1% Acetyl Prazine (TFA)
0.1% Anise (FW)

(CLY=Clyrolinx)
Quite smooth and light. If you want stronger then increase the Double RY4 and/or 7 Leaves

I shaked and vaped this and it wasn't bad. A two week steep smoothed it out a bit.
This is what my notes actually said
"First impression is yes make a huge batch. Steep a few days and check again."

@Andre this is the one I was steeping that borrows from Borra.

I'm very happy with it.

DaVinci

INW Gold Ducat 2%
FA Perique Black 1%
FA Fresh Cream 1%
FA Vienna Cream 1%
FA Vanilla (any) 1%

70VG
2 week steep

So Gold Ducat is a wet dark pipe tobacco with a slight Dark Chocolate aftertaste. It's amazing, but I added the Perique for a more "smokey" dry feel. And it works nicely.

The Perique also provides a decent throat hit, so this will be more of a 'drinking' companion juice for me. Up the creams if you want less throat hit.

Then HICs Borra Borra taught me that, what I consider a lot of creams, actually smoothen and enrich tobaccos without turning anything into pudding. Hence the rest of this recipe. The Vienna and Vanilla enrich the dominant flavour - Gold Ducat - nicely.

The result is a nice dark pipe tobacco, with a smoky finish and the dark chocolate aftertaste. It's a keeper for me.

Awesome, thank you. Was looking for something with Gold Ducat. Straight onto my mixing list.
