@Silver you are the chief in charge, make it happenI hope you tobacco DIY lads are going to bring some of your creations to VapeCon.
I think we may need to have a tobacco table for the heavy hitters

I mixed it at 6.0 %. Ah, when I went to check on the percentage, I saw that I added 1.0 % FA Fresh Cream.
Thank you. I will give it another go.
I was mixing it low, as i thought it was supposed to be super strong. It just tasted ashy, so probably too low.

I mix it at 6% single flavor max vg

Out of curiosity I rummaged through the dark drawer and found the remains of a bottle of Gitanes that I mixed on 16 May. Three months later and it has completed its transmogrification. It is literally a different animal. The flavours are no longer distinctly layered but have imploded into each other. More like a complex cigar. It's the closest I've got to Mod N World's Poison (which has always been one of my targets for tobaccos). Maybe we are still trying some of our mixes out too young (1 month). Would love to know if anyone else has tried a 2-3 month steep on tobacco mixes and if so, what were the results.
My first 100 ml of Bora Bora White has just passed the 2 month mark. About 10 ml left. The tobaccos become a bit more pronounced as time goes by and the mix just a tad less sweet, but not by much. Certainly not the transmogrification (transform in a surprising or magical manner) you talk about. Probably depends on the ingredients - e.g. my Black Barrel Whiskey Mac just gets better and better the more it matures.
I do have them on my todo list. Just need to get some of those concentrates.
Im getting there......
I cure all my tobaccos (bar Camel Lights) for at least one month, without any testing beforehand.
I froth mine as you know. When I say froth, I stick the frother tip deep in the liquid, so no actual "frothing" gets done. Just serious stirring.
Some, like Borra, Ive noticed no difference between 2 weeks to a month.
Others, like the Perique Vapure, only really "settled" after a month.
So I do think it varies from manufacturer, to flavour, to VG, to percentage etc.
I personally just believe in that initial, proper "stir", to get things going.
If you think about it, heat does the same thing - its breaking down compounds to smaller ones, in order to mix with the rest.
I am no science guy, so my terminology may be off

I am slowly going through my tobacco concentrates with simple mixes (e.g. 6 % TFA Cubano with 1 % FA Fresh Cream) to get a better feel for what they taste like. For TFA Turkish I adapted a bit from the idea here.
Mixed on 16 July 2016. Started vaping on 19 August 2016.
Transported to a Turkish bazaar. Very aromatic - I almost smell some incense burning. Think it will be typically dry if it was not for the sweetening effect of the Rum - but not a sweet vape by any stretch of the imagination. Add more Rum if you like it a bit sweeter, but not more than 1 % per the creator. Maybe decreasing the the TFA Turkish to say 3 % at the same time will also help it to be more sweet. The sour/acid, typical of Turkish tobacco, comes through as a nice subdued effect in my blend.
This was a new taste to my palate and quite a shock in the beginning, but the more I vape it the more I like it. Not ADV for my at this stage, probably an occasional vape. TFA Turkish would, I think, be very useful in mixes to add spicy aromatic notes.
Jokingly, I offered HRH a taste of this. Knock me down with a feather - she loves it and wants a bottle in her nic strength. Go figure.
Just Turkish
TFA Turkish Tobacco 4.0 %
FA Jamaican Rum 0.5 %
As requested elsewhere @rogue zombie

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 %

Discovered VM4 quite late in my vape journey and man o man do I just love it in the Ultimo
After annihilating nearly 100ml of VM4 in 2 weeks time on the Ultimo I thought I would try my hand at some DIY to ease the strain on the pocket. I mean how difficult could it be to mix an RY4..........
I have absolutely now intuition when it comes to flavours so I looked up a couple RY4 recipes and settled on the version 1 of ENYAWREKLAW's Pistachio RY4 (http://tjek.nu/r/2Gw8).
Ordered some concentrates from BLK Vapour, a scale and some bottles.
Made the first batch yesterday and had a quick drip - not bad but also not really what I expected but I suppose it will get better with some steeping although most of the comments state that it is fine to vape immediately - found that there is almost an almondy flavour which overwhelms everything.
I then tried my hand at a custom recipe. Since I liked Flawless's Hotmess I concocted this recipe:
Sweet Churro RY4
Churro (CAP) 3.5%
Caramel (original) (TFA) 1.5%
Vanilla Swirl (TFA) 1.5%
RY4 Double (TFA) 2.5%
Smooth (TFA) 0.5%
It smells quite lekker but I will give it the weekend to steep before I test it. Will post when I have a vape
Needless to say the bug has bit me and my cart at BLK Vapour is full of more goodies to try some of the other recipes which I think will suit me.
