DIY Tobacco Recipes

My review of the Smoking Snake Mix.

One Word
BRILLIANT!!!

At first I was put off by the intense smell of the honeydew, but as they say do not judge a book by its cover.

3x60ml busy steeping.
Big ups... to the Person who posted that.

Thought I'd add my own recipe here.

100ml VG
10 grams tobacco of choice
20ml PG

Mix all into jar and seal. Place jar in a water bath at 50-60°C for 1 hour.

Remove and shake jar every 15 minutes.

Let steep for 3 days. (On shelf not in water bath)

Strain with doubled up cheeseclothe.

Re strain with doubled up cheesecloth.

Place into jar.

Add deseeded vanilla pod.

Let steep for 2 more weeks.

Add desired NIC content.

Enjoy.
 
@Spyro would it not be easier in PG to strain?

[edit] Sorry after reading it again here on my computer I see that it is a juice mix and not a concentrate.

You can absolutely do that to make a concentrate but I'd let it steep at least a month then. I haven't tried that method.


The same method can be used to make a rooibos concentrate.

And here I thought we were the only country that had that cursed Rooibos that some call tea

Haha, rooibos is the only tea I drink!
I believe we are the only country that holds the rights to the word rooibos but it is drank the world over under different names.
 
good evening, would like some advice from those with experience of what the suggested steep time is for AM4A please.

No experience on it myself, but I saw on the notes of elr that it requires a 3 week steep.

thank you Sir, I was thinking 2 weeks, but 3 to be safe then, thanks
 
I like am4a right from the shake. That said it's been reformulated and I have no idea what the new version is like.

Been a while since I posted a recipe, so this is a recipe I call BBC (Bacco Bakery Cream).

Mild and moist tobacco with subtle bakery notes finished off with thick vanilla cream.

Biscuit (Inw) 1%
Cheesecake GC (Tfa) 2.5%
Vanilla Swirl (Tfa) 3%
Vienna Cream (Fa) 2%
Marshmallow (Tfa) 1%
Ry4 Double (Tfa) 3%
Gold Ducat (Inw) 1.5%
MTS (Fa) 0.25%
Sweetner (Tfa) 0.5%

Mix Ratio 65/35

Steep Time: 1month (Prefer a longer steep but you could get away with it sooner)
 
FA Soho @ 12%

I have tried many RY4 types of juices (commercial and DIY) over the years and enjoyed many, but ultimately they all were too sweet for my taste with no real tobacco notes. No doubt, I am part of a small minority. RY4 types are arguably the most popular tobacco juices out there.

My latest try in this category was Solus, recommended by @Petrus and also a @Huffapuff favourite. The most exquisite taste, but still very sweet and heavy for my taste. Chasing that exquisite taste I decreased all the non-tobacco ingredients by 75 % and added FA Bitter Wizard and some Absolute Tobaccos from INW. This exercise had me realize that there might be more to FA Soho than I thought. As I was pondering HIC's wisdom of using FA Soho at 4/5% for standalone against FA's recommendation of 20%, @SthrnMixer entered the mix, recommending 12%. After the fact, I noticed quite a few people on ELR actually recommends using it between 10 and 12%.

Thus, mixed it up at 12% on 8 January 2018 and cracked open the bottle yesterday (15 January 2018) morning. Wow, the best RY4 type I have ever tasted. It is the exquisite element of Solus - imho and with respect to the creator all the other ingredients in Solus do not add much and are not really needed. HIC describes Soho as "a semi-sweet, very smooth, rich Burley-Virginia type tobacco blend with prominent supporting notes of burnt sugar, some deep caramel-vanilla, and a rich backdrop of toasted nuts.". Spot on, but I (and others) do not get much of the nutty taste.

What I like most about Soho is that it has a lightness about it - almost as if a bit of background fruit (not lemon!) was secretly added. As opposed to the heavy sweet of most RY4 types. This means one can vape it for more extended periods of time.

Make no mistake - for my personal, quirky taste this is still too sweet and needs more real tobacco. I will be tweaking it. But, for the vast majority out there, this might just be simple perfection. "Everything you love about RY4 only better" per @SthrnMixer. Very refined imo, @rogue zombie. No need to smother it with other stuff.

Tagging @vicTor and @Adephi, as requested.
