DIY Tobacco Recipes

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 not 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.
thanks for letting me know @Andre
it will be in my next order !

Thank you @Andre .
This is in my basket at Bossvape. Will play with this as soon as I get my paws on it. Sounds very promising.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. I know you love your tobacco. I shall mix it up then.
And thanks @SthrnMixer for recommending a percentage I did not know FA stuff could work at.
hi @method1
hi @method1
ok so I got myself some AM4A and mixed up some on the evening of the 9th Jan, decided not to try vape it straight off the bat and leave it a couple of days, today is the 7th day (1 week) since made and i opened it up to have a whiff, but to my surprise it smells, well, not appealing at all
to my nose, it has a heavy (for the lack of better words), "chemical" smell
does this sound normal, does it need another 2 weeks perhaps ?
should i vape some and see ? ....lol
regards
Vape it and see, it's the only way to know for sure!
That said AM4a obviously isn't going be to everyone's tastes, it's quite an unusual flavour.
cool, thanks gonna try it just now
morning @method1
seems my concern was for nothing, the AM4A i mixed at 5% is awesome after 7 day steep, love it !
thanks for the advice, have a peachy day !

Thanks for that @Andre
It sounds great! Much appreciated
True, as a stand alone this is exactly right. And for a long time I couldn't perceive mixing this with anything - almost as if I'd be violating something sacred like hearing an all girl band sing Led Zeppelin's When the Levee Breaks. Some things are just better left alone. However, I did start mixing Soho with other things. In fact I have this one just straight off the mix now. I did a quick taste and methinks it may be an amazing juice. Idea from ELR member "Core"
Soho Corn Custard (SthrnMixer Original)
1.00% Acetyl Pyrazine 5% (TPA)
3.00% Kettle Corn (TPA)
1.50% Meringue (FA)
5.00% Soho (FA)
5.00% Vanilla Custard v1 (CAP)
Flavor total: 15.5%
By the way, the idea came from this recipe -
That Juice! : http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/2083951/That Juice!
0.50% Cream Fresh (FA)
5.50% Kettle Corn (TPA)
10.00% Soho (FA)
Flavor total: 16%

Ok, I need some help here. Have a friend who has dropped the stinkies and got himself a Smok mod and tank, but cannot find a tobacco juice that he likes enough so he relapses ever so often.
I am looking for recipies that will attempt to give the Stuyvesant Red like taste, his ads, and Craven A was the other one he likes. He is actually doing more menthol at this stage due to him saying that the tobacco vapes just don't taste right to him, he doesn't like the additives like cake or pudding flavours.
I have to order some concentrates and would like to get him sometobacco ones as well, based on suggestions and then drop him down the DIY hole.

hi @Room Fogger it's great the way you trying to help your friend like this, I'm definitely a tobacco profile vaper but totally under qualified to give any DIY advice at this stage. I am however very interested in the tastes you mentioned so will be following this and hear what the pro's advise.
Consider these:

http://www.ecigssa.co.za/posts/460221
http://www.ecigssa.co.za/posts/403559
And maybe he could be a RY4 type, like many find out. This one would then be good to start with.

Thanks @vicTor , I think at this stage any tobacco flavour recipe that does not contain fruits or desserts will be a good start, I don't even know what flavours are out there!
Thanks @Andre really appreciate it. I have been staying away from the tobacco profiles, but maybe it is time to see if I can get some satisfaction this way as well. I will have to test them in any way

I have fallen in love with AM4A, stand alone at 5%
Can't understand our firewall, I can access this site and see the recipy in the last part, but I cannot follow the direct link for the top 3.
Can you perhaps give me the names of the recipies. Apologies for the inconvenience
If you go to the Index of this thread (page 1, first post), It is, in the order listed in my original post above:Can't understand our firewall, I can access this site and see the recipy in the last part, but I cannot follow the direct link for the top 3.
- No 59 Flavorah Kentucky Blend
- No 39 Dawn Spirit
- No 16 Light American Cigarette Replacement
I've steered clear of tobacco flavours as they tasted like Hartebeespoort dam water, but maybe I must have a look again.
I am actually looking for a vanilla cigar flavour to share a sherry or port with, and something that would be like a pipe, missing the taste with having had to light it for my Dad before he passed. Not necessarily the Boxer taste he was on, but something a bit smoother in a vanilla or cherry cavendish, rum? Any suggestions anyone?

This discussion is perhaps not appropriate in this thread but I am sure @incredible_hullk, @Andre, @Viper_SA @GregF @Huffapuff will be able to suggest something from the options here
Any suggestion on how I can move it to a new thread, maybe [USERGROUP=3]@Admins[/USERGROUP] can assist with that please
Moved as requested
you should try am4a at 5 - 6%
description copied from blck vapour
"Pronounced “amphora,” Am4a is the newest developmental flavor by Inawera. It is a pipe tobacco flavor with hints of caramel, coffee, licorice, and a mild aftertaste of tea biscuits."
