i actually just brought some tfa ry4 double (vanilla caramel) concentrate. do you know what persentage i need to use. or just a rough guideline?
Rough guideline 5%. Note that ry4 does do quite a bit of coil gunking. So just be aware.

Ok thank you. my friend said go for a 4% so im going to try 4.5% on for the concentrate. ill probably set a side a separate dripper for the ry4 then.
I just cracked you Smooth Famous Tobacco open and dropped it on the hadaly and I have to agree that this is a great vape, thanks for sharing!
It is reminiscent of HIC's Bora Bora, due to the 7 Leaves, but there is a complexity to it that I really enjoy. The smoothness from the Vanilla Swirl and Sweet Cream is nicely accented by the Jamaican Rum.
Overall it's interesting enough to keep wanting to vape it. Definitely adding this to my 100ml mixes.
@Andre this isn't sweet, worth mixing it up.
Oh yes, I'm slacking in my feedback. But had my first try of this earlier in the week, and love it.
Great find @Petrus . I will definitely keep this in rotation
Came across this recipe and gave it a shot.
Real Stinkies
FA Desert Ship - 1%
INW Flue Cured Tobacco - 0.5%
TFA RY4 Double - 3%
I don't have many RY4 mixes lately and this is not too bad. As far as a real stinkie taste, I think for me the Desert Ship stands out too much. I upped the Flue Cured to 1% and much prefer it. Gives it that little extra dry ashy taste with the Desert ship not so "in your face".
The benefits of DIY, different folks different strokes.

Still on my quest to find something for my FW Courmarin Pipe I found this recipe here.
Perique Pipe
FA Perique Black - 4%
FW Courmarin Pipe - 6%
One of the better recipes I have tried with Courmarin Pipe and so simple.
I cant really add anymore to what the creator has said so I will quote from that link.
"I'm not going to lie to you, reader. You've stuck with me this long, you deserve more. You can't barely taste any damned Coumarin in there at all. In fact, you have to crank that sumbitch up to about 15-16% to even get a hint. It's that light. But it works well with the Perique, which if you've ever had a whiff of you'd know is quite high in peppery, earthy notes. The Coumarin smooths it out a bit and adds kind of a lifeless, tasteless half-body zombie flavor type thing. It's not my absolute favorite, but I do enjoy vaping it. Why, you ask? It's a mindless vape. It's something to vape while I drive or write or drink or hike. It isn't all up in my face, there's a subtle taste, but it's just... decent."

I might be getting tired of my existing stash but this is probably the closest I have come to a real cigarette.
Found the recipe here
Old Habits
FA Latakia - 1%
INW Dirty NeutralBase - 0.5%
FA Virginia - 2%
It is not harsh or ashy or "dirty" or sweet but does have that distinctive Latakia taste, which does not have the spicyness of INW AM4A or FA Desert Ship. The Virginia rounds it off nicely.
Stronger than HIC's Light American Cigarette Replacement
I must admit that I have not let this steep for any number of weeks but so far this is a winner for me.
Already made a premix blend.

Thanks for that tip on the Real Stinkies, Greg. I have that recipe but haven't mixed yet, I'll try your version. I got Flue Cured in ADV's closing down DIY sale and that was one of the very few recipes I could find for it.
Yup me too, ended up with 30ml of it.
Luckily I like the taste so it wont go to waste. There are a couple of @Viper_SA recipes that use it.
Just to throw a spanner in the works and to keep @Andre on his toes with the indexing.......
I have some Salted Creamy Caramel that I made a while ago when @Andre posted it.
Still on my quest for something with FW Courmarin Pipe I thought .....mmmm salty caramel and sweet tobacco...why not.
It is lovely. The Courmarin pipe does reduce the saltiness a bit and adds a nice sweet pipe tobacco taste to it.
I started at 5% Courmarin Pipe but for me was not enough, went up to 6% and thats where I stopped. I think any higher will detract too much from the original Salted Creamy Caramel.
So @Andre, I got your desert thread into your tobacco thread

You don't find the DNB overwhelming at 0.5%? I used it for the first time this week and it's completely dominated. Ok, the juice still needs a steep but it was all I could taste after a few days.
I don't and I use it in quite a few recipes. In fact one of my favorites recipes uses it over 1%. Maybe I just like the old wet sock taste
Was it the first time you used it in a new recipe or did you add it to an existing recipe?

I used it in one out of a batch for a new recipe I'm working on. I know the other flavours well but none of them were able to come through as the DNB was all I could taste. I'd read that 0.5% was a good starting point so I was a bit surprised at the result.I don't and I use it in quite a few recipes. In fact one of my favorites recipes uses it over 1%.

I don't mind the taste too much, was quite interesting actually. I'm interested in playing with it some more, maybe at lower %s though...
Anybody got a Rum and Maple recipe. I made the Apple Bacco one and liked it so much i thought off giving Tobacco a go.
Have not seen one here yet. There has been talk of it
Thanks hope someone can come up with one, in the meantime I will give @Petrus recipe a go seems like a good one.
Lol, I am falling behind with the indexing - was out of town and touch for a few days. Shall attend shortly.Just to throw a spanner in the works and to keep @Andre on his toes with the indexing.......

Dont rush on my behalf please. Some recipes of mine that are indexed I have never gone back to, I found better to move on to, but I suppose someone might benefit from them.
If you liked Da Vinci and have all the ingredients, and 4 to 6 weeks to spare, try this.
Based on DaVinci, but I wanted to make it more complex. The spicy Desert Ship plays nicely with the choc exhale of the Gold Ducati...
Picasso V 3451 :/
INW Gold Ducat 2%
FA Perique Black 1%
FA Desert Ship 0.5%
TFA French Vanilla Creme 1%
CAP Custard V2 1%
FA Brandy 2%
INW Honey 0.5%
70VG 4 - 6 weeks cure. I hated it at 2 weeks.

I am posting this here because I keep looking for it here and I think it warrants a place in this thread index.

DAWN SPIRITLike Cuban Heel (lime tobacco) this one comes from the FlavourArt UK site here.
This a a lightly mentholated tobacco. The spearmint is there, but it is not distracting - it is not toothpaste! The menthol and spearmint prevents any grassy/dry/hay notes from the Virginia, leaving it a smooth and wet golden straight tobacco flavour.
This is one of those I can vape for extended periods without getting tired of the taste.
A 2 week steep should do it.
Dawn Spirit [Pre-blend percentages]
FA Virginia 4.0 % [80]
FA Spearming 0.5 % [10]
FA Artic Menthol 0.5 % [10]
Total flavour: 5.0 %
I made this 21/04/2017 but with CLY Spearmint @ 0.25%.
I have all the extra funnies in CLY so I must use them somewhere, anyway after mixing I had a taste and the Virginia was nice but too much spearmint, for me anyway, the toothpaste was there.
A week later the toothpaste was not so bad but still not as "gone" as I had hoped for.
Today I tried again and much better. The virginia is nice at 4% and the spearmint is there in the back, as @Andre says "takes the grassy off the virginia". Another one for my mint/menthol Reo. Thanks @Andre
