DIY Tobacco Recipes

Found this masterpiece here.

Bright, lightly and smoky sweet with smooth tart plum edginess and spicy notes. All of this without losing, whilst perfectly complimenting, the tobaccos, which are always at the core of the taste.

A unique juice, which I think non-tobacco vapers will also hugely appreciate. Totally different, but in the same league as Bora Bora for me.

Mine cured for a month, but the creator says one week is good.

Paradise Plum
CAP Vanilla Custard V1 1.5 %
FA Desert Ship 1.5 %
FA Tuscan Reserve 1.0 %
FA Dark Vapure 0.5 %
INW Smoked Plum 0.5 %

@Andre that INW Smoked Plum, yes it is the one that I need, any recommendations on a sub or does it play a big part?

I think it makes this juice, together with the Dessert Ship. Got mine here.
The creator did make the same recipe with 2 % FA Fresh Fig in place of the Plum, but I think it would give a totally different taste. And be quite sweet, which is why I did not mix it with the fig.
 
Thanks. I am quite a sweet guy so I think I will try the Fig until I can get some smoked plum :)
 
I don't really have a very good description for this one. Reminds me of a Velvet Cloud tobacco I once tried. A little sweet, as FA 7 Leaves tends to be, with a nice smoky undertone from the other ingredients

Looks like I might finally be able to mix one of your recipes

@Viper_SA I mixed up your 7 guns yesterday and as always I gave it try just after mixing.
The Latakia was quite prominent and I was wondering if that would calm down. Not that it was terribly harsh but it did stand out from everything else.
Just tasted it now again, I know I know let it steep but I am curious, anyway even just after one day the Latakia has calmed down and I can now taste the sweetness of the 7 leaves and the other smokey effects.
This is looking like it could be very very nice, hell it is nice right now, I dont think my 20ml tester is going to last the steep

For me the FA Latakia is not a very prominant profile. I actually enjoy FW Latakia more, but I have like 20ml of FA Latakia to use somewhere, hence this recipe. It does mellow out quite a bit for me, but does add something in the background. I was hoping the FA Cowboy would be closer to TFA Western, but not even close. A bit disappointed with it actually, but it works well with 7 Leaves, I find the two quite similar in many ways. The Burley does develop a bjt more of a dry/bitter taste over time, but mostly only on the exhale for me. Glad you like it and looking forward to your future notes

My search for a good cigar only vape is over. Found this here. As promised @Jono90.

This is full on cigar - no creams or caramels or vanillas added. Mild and mellow and smoky and I pick up a very slight citrus back note (it is FA after all), but unashamedly cigar. It has a very natural sweetness, like one can almost taste the cigar wrapper. If you like it less sweet just add around 0.25 % of FA Bitter Wizard. I add 2 or 3 drops of the Wizard in my Reo Grand bottle if I feel like less sweet in the moment. Perfect companion to a good Cognac or Brandy (without coke please), but mild and creamy enough to be an all day vape too.

I think this one needs a proper steep. Mine cured since 22 July 2016 - five weeks.

Connoisseur's Cigar
FA Cigar Passion 1.0 %
FA Tuscan Reserve 1.0 %
FA Maxx Blend 1.0 %
FA Black Fire 0.5 %

Total flavour: 3.5 % (economical too)

I got all excited and mixed this right after reading your post @Andre. I figured it had to be good if you raved about it like you did. Anyway I mixed it up and did my obligatory taste test after mixing. I expected the Tuscan reserve to be prominent and it was, but I have come to realise that it calms down after a few days. So I figured while I was tasting I would taste some other stuff that is busy steeping..... low and behold I pick up "Cigar Maxx". It is this recipe exactly except for 1.5% Cigar Passion instead of 1%.
So it looks like I had it all along and no nice new surprises, damn.
I found it here and there is another just underneath it Montecristo No. 2 that I am waiting for.

Hehe, now we have the link at least. I mixed Montecristo No. 2 and tasted it one month later. Not much impressed. So tonight I thought why not try it again. And now, just more than 2 months later, it is awesome. A totally different juice (transmogrification @Patrick). The common denominator is Cigar Passion - methinks it needs a really long time to integrate.

@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.

Just made another BIG bottle of this and wanted to thank you again @rogue zombie
That Gold Ducat is fantastic. Think I need to try it with some other stuff as well, has anyone tried it with anything else? or did I miss something along the way

I have mixed Gold Ducat with a few things, none of which I liked.

Since its dominant, it is quite difficult to pair. My suggestion would be with other proper strong tobaccos, or it will drown out the weak.
 
@Viper_SA 7 guns...after 5 days

The FA 7 leaves is not as sweet as it was which makes this vape even more nom nom.
Everything is much smoother, darker smokier, this is really really nice, all this after 5 days.
This will most definitely go into my "this works" folder and I need to make a big bottle to allow for proper steeping.

Thanks for the feedback. Appreciated. I'm glad you like it. I threw that together to jse up some of my less than favorite concentrates, problem now is this, I like it, so I might buy those concentrates again :rolleyes:
 
At least I got somewhere for my FA tobaccos to go as well. I got in a whole lot of INW tobacco concentrates and need to play with them a bit. So far I am pretty impressed with Tobacco Kent, Cuban Cigar and Tobacco Pear.
 
Especially Latakia, I didn't really like it, and I was getting tired of 7 Leaves, but hey, now I can use them again.
