Advice about cigar concentrate flavours please.

[jamesjay]

Hi All, This is my first post but I am not a beginner I have been visiting and gaining knowledge and using the great links and I have been vaping for about a year, but I was a cigar smoker (Kind Edward Invincible) so never inhaled, I use a Kayfun lite+ a Russian 91% and a Itaste SVD and organic cotton wool.

I have tried Liqua Cuban, various House of Liquids cigars juices to name but a few, but I would like to try some mixing some of my own, I have tried some blending of different eliqiuds and I have VG and PG and I have had some degree of success but I would like to get closer to the cigar flavour I miss, I of course accept that I will never get a juice that will taste the same as a King Edward and that what I taste will be different to someone else's taste buds especially as I don't inhale but I would like to mess about with flavours without turning my kitchen into a full blown laboratory.

So my request is for any advice of any concentrates that I can mix and blend with VG and PG that will get me started.

Any advice or feedback would be appreciated.

James.

Hi James and to the forum

Mr Lairey likes T-Juice Cubana I can't comment as I think anything remotely tobacco flavoured is

Let us know if you find any more I can test on him

That link out of stock but try this

t-juice.com/t-juice-shop/cubana.html

Welcome to you James.

I also can offer no advice as I don't use tobacco flavoured eliquids now, don't know if there any reviews on here:

Thank you for the warm welcome and the links, I did try the Chefs Vapour link and yes they are sold out, I know this may sound dumb but the T-juice link appears to be an e-juice containing nic so ready to vape...although they also do a concentrate without nic that I am presuming I can use with my PG and VG to make a no nic e-juice and then add a nic later if I wanted too, is this correct.

Thanks and kind regards.
James.

You are correct Cubanna needs steeping if you mix it yourself, but it's worth it.

Sorry, didn't notice they were OOS.  But yes, dragon's right, all of the T-Juice liquids can be bought as concentrates only

Another one to consider is Inawera Cherry Cigar at 6% it's a lovely balanced flavour,but it does need a good 3-4 weeks to steep.

Hi Lairey, I Just ordered some Cubana concentrate from T-Juice for my first proper mix from scratch...I was hoping that while I was waiting for it to arrive you could help me cheat a bit by posting Mr Lairey's recipe if he has one that is.

Kind regards
James.

LT Ecigs are currently offering a 5ml sample of a cigar juice for a quid

Ah, right, you're after concentrates... Well, there's this


www.ltecigs.larsentilbrook.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=64_78&product_id=183

but T-Juice's Cubana is probably your best bet

[bootneck]

I'm due my first batch of concentrates to test and review from Inawera,there are 18 of them and most are tobacco,as someone who still owns a Humidor full of Cuban cigars once I've tried them I'll give you a heads up as to which are close to a decent cigar flavour.

[jamesjay]

Thanks Bootneck and OliverB, any help is much appreciated and I am bookmarking any links...I don't have my Cubana or the Nic (72mg) but I would like my first attempt not to be a complete waste of liquids so I have been reading up and trying out the calculator, I have been looking for a Cubana starting recipe (one flavour) so at least I get a usable mix and I can adjust it's strength or weakness to my taste.

I am a long way from ordering 18 concentrates I am not sure what other flavours would go with the Cubana so a heads up would be great but in my case it is obviously trail and error.

Cheers Guys.

I don't have a recipe for Cubana as Mr Lairey has only had the premix, but if no one else comes along with a suggested %, then drop Nige at T-Juice a line, he'll let you know what % he uses in the premix.  Then you just need to decide on your preferred PG/VG ratio, pop all the info in the mix calc and away you go  It really is much easier than you think it will be

Most T Juice is good at 15%,start from there and see how it goes.
