DIY Tobacco Recipes

A smooth coconut tobacco with a little sweetness from the butterscotch and FA 7 leaves, a little nutty from the CLY tobacco and little ashy from the TFA Western. I think I am going to make a bundle of this.
It is a long list and needs a few weeks to settle but it is so worth it.

Deutsch Ducat

1% Acetyl Pyrazine 5% (TPA)
1.5% Booster (Tiramisu) (FA)
2% Catalan Cream (FA)
1.2% Chocolate Deutsch (Flavorah)
1.2% Dark Vapure (FA)
2.5% Gold Ducat (INAWERA)
1.5% Madagascar (Vanilla Classic) (FA)
1% Salted Caramel (FW)

Flavor total: 11.9%

This is another one for the strong of will. Mixed this on 4 July. Meh, after a month. First thought is that the Deutsch overpowered everything. Pretty bland after 2 months. I was about to consign it to the drawer of shame last night and gave it a last outing and everything had settled down into a lovely tobacco with just the right amount of chocolate to compliment the ducat undertones and then a faint light coconut (from the Deutsch) on the exhale.

The Tiramisu and Deutsch are there to bring out the chocolaty notes of the Ducat, the Dark Vapure to add more depth and the creams to give it a smoothness (lol). The salted Caramel is there just because I like it.

Steeping: 10 weeks, should be ready to go. Sorry all.
 
Something I tried and surprisingly is very nice.
I don't know what a Cuban cigar tastes like but if they are anything like this then they are not too bad.
Nothing fancy, no creams or fruits, just cigar flavours on their own.
I call it ......

Castro
INW Cuban Cigar - 1.5%
TFA Cubano - 1.5%
FA Cuban Supreme - 1%
FA Cigar Passion - 0.5%
FA Bitter Wizard - 0.5%
FA Burley - 0.5%
FA Black Fire - 0.5%

Very dry cigar taste and aftertaste but that is what I was going for.
This has only sat for just over a week and I like it.

[edit] I didn't make it with any nic but I think I will add now.

i love FA Glory - to me it has a nutty tobacco kinda flavour. I'm gonna start playing with it properly this weekend thinking of a nice menthol tobacco.
I've made an FA Glory + RY4 Double mix that was quite nice for me, but not exactly a tobacco flavour though - it was more a dessert kind of flavor. Will report back my finding and hoping for suggestions from the fundi's here. Problem is this stuff needs the longest steep time.
 
I'm also really enjoying FA Glory, it has such a dense and moist texture to it compared to the other tobaccos I've tried so far.
 
These tobacco vape sound delicious would really like to try some but scared I don't like it. I've tried RY4 juices and I've enjoyed them but not sure on this and don't want to go buy the concentrates and I end up hating it? Any tips help suggestions samples anything that may get me hooked on this?

So far this thread has put me on a shopping spree. Every recipe is unique at it's own. I would suggest before buying any concentrates read the posts carefully and watch for some recommendations, otherwise you will end up with one or two concentrates short. I think by end of next week BLCK will have stock of all concentrates mentioned in this thread, then no need for vapemail all over the country. @Andre, thanks again for starting this thread and keeping my banker in a mental state.

Regarding the tobacco vapes could someone point me in the direction as to which are the most common flavours one would use? I am wanting to venture into this but require a starting point. I have never tried a proper tobacco vape but I am very interested in it. Thus need some guidance. I would love a nice cigar type or pipe tobacco any help would be appreciated

For a not complex cigar try TFA Cubano at 6 % - I added 1 % of FA Fresh Cream. For a complex, full on cigar try this recipe - a very long steep required. Most tobaccos require a long curing period, at least 3 weeks.

More towards pipe tobacco try this English Blend or @rogue zombie's DaVinci, which is very popular.

If you like RY4, this recipe is a winner.

I know @Huffapuff and @NewOobY are fans of FA Glory. HIC also rates it highly and I have seen numerous people on other forums that like it as a standalone.

Mine was mixed on 24 August 2016 and I started tasting it yesterday (9 October 2016). Well cured, but I think two weeks should be fine for this one. Mixed at 2.0 % FA Glory with 0.3 % FA Black Fire.

Moist and dense (very much like a NET tobacco) as @Huffapuff said. Nutty, mid-sweet, brown tobacco as HIC describes. Creamy undertones for sure. I taste no sour, but pick up a definite, if understated, fruity note on the exhale, lingering on the tip of my tongue, which makes for an exquisite aftertaste. Most complex standalone tobacco ever.

Unfortunately, I am not a fan of "nutty". Not that the nutty taste is overpowering at all, but still too discernible for my taste. Maybe next time I shall try it at 1.75 % and add some FA Desert Ship for a bit of spicy. However, do not let my taste influence you negatively. I you like or do not mind a little nutty, this is the perfect standalone tobacco.

@kyle_redbull, this might be the perfect starting point for you.

INW am4a at 4% is a pretty solid vape if you like pipe tobacco.

Thank you. This sounds like something I would like - nutty tobacco.
 
I know it was on here somewhere but I cant find it now.
@Viper_SA Durandt's Treachery is here as well.

FW Ankara - 3.5%
FA Black Fire - 1%
FA Dark Vapure - 1.5%
INW Dirty Neutral Base - 1%
FW Latakia - 3%
FA MTS Vape Wizard - 1%
INW Sesame - 0.5%

I mixed this up about two weeks ago and tasting now AGAIN!
For me this is quite a complicated tobacco mix, very nice and a little different.
To quote what @Viper_SA said about it

"Durandt's Treachery is a dark, almost musty and bitter pipe tobacco. Has a nice 'warm' note on the exhale, but not every time. A little unpredictable, and keeps me vaping it to find that mote again and again. Might be tbe touch of Sesame coming through. The dirty neutral base is like a good mixer tobacco, for pipe or cigarette IMO. The FW Ankara is very herbal and bitter, much like Storm, but much darker and with less of a menthol/camphor note. More of a woody note. The FW latakia is much darker than the FA version, with more depth and warmth."

I like it and yes it keeps you guessing. I keep thinking that next time I will lower the Sesame but then I taste again and other notes come through.
I wont be changing anything, except the quantity that I made.
If you want something different from the normal tobacco mixes then this is worth a try. That Sesame changes everything.
Thanks @Viper_SA
 
@rogue zombie Da Vinci which can be found here is really nice. I know a few people have mixed it and there is a lot of talk about it. (Please rate if you havn't)
That was my first introduction to INW Gold Ducat. A nice rich, sweet, chocolaty tobacco concentrate.
One of my favorite concentrates at the moment besides INW Tobacco Kent (but that's a story for another time)

If you want something a little sweeter with less of dark tobacco taste then try @Viper_SA Cat-house nipples.
It has double the INW Gold Ducat and added Maple Syrup.
Saying that though it is not overly sweet.

I left out the FA Forest mix

My shelf of "good stuff to vape" is getting very heavy......

Lime Party by @Mike of Mike's Mega Mixes has permanent residence in my GEM tank. Love me some Lime, but when I saw this Cuban Heel tobacco recipe with lime, I was somewhat skeptical. A quick Google, however, revealed that this secret has been known for a long time by the Mayan and other cultures and resonated with the Snus and Hookah lovers.

For me FA Virginia is difficult to work with, but it combines perfectly with the FA Cuban Supreme to give a lightly toasted tobacco cigar taste. The tobaccos sweeten the lime, but still unmistakably lime. It really is reminiscent of Lime Party, but a soft Tobacco Lime Party.

From experience with other recipes I know that only FA Lime Tahiti Distilled will work here. No other Lime will give the same awesome effect.

My mix cured for more than a month and I do think this one requires a proper steep.

The percentages in brackets are if you want to do a pre-blend of concentrates.

Cuban Heel
FA Virginia 1.5 % (43 %)
FA Cuban Supreme 1.0 % (28.5 %)
FA Lime Tahiti Distilled 1.0 % (28.5 %)

Total flavour: 3.5 %
 
That lime tobacco sounds amazing @Andre !
Wow

@Andre I would have never thought Lime with tobacco.
I would have put in almost any other fruit before a citrus in a tobacco.

Great find! I will use my preferred INW Lime though.

I doubt very much that INW Lime will give the same sweetening (almost lime pie batter) effect, but look forward to your report re same.

@Andre have you ever tried the lime concentrate from Vapour Mountain?
If so, how does it stack up to the Limes you guys are talking about?

In cooking and baking most of us take a recipe book and make a dish, pie or cake following a recipe from such book. At most one will tweak the recipe a bit for your own preferences. If you get to know the ingredients very well, you might even make or bake your own creation. Very few can create new recipes.

With DIY juices I am a recipe follower and can really sniff out a good recipe, which suits my taste. In the process I do tweak a bit for my personal taste and get to know some concentrates (like the lime in the recipe in question) and how they combine well - mostly learning from the experts and the vast amount of information on the well known concentrate brands out there. However, if you want to create your own unique and new recipes, you need to know individual concentrates from many brands intimately. And have a flair for combining flavours in the right proportions. That takes a lot of time, effort, experimenting and talent. Hats off to the commercial mixologists.

To answer your question. VM and other local concentrates do not have many recipes or lots of information out there, calling for the long and difficult road to a reasonable recipe and juice. And no, I cannot tell you how VM Lime stacks up to the other Lime concentrates out there. Maybe some of the other DIYers have some experience with it.
