Looking for a really good tobacco concentrate

[furbs]

What are your favs?

I like a sweetish tobacco, nicest ive tried to date was Vermillion river's Kentucky banana bread blend(i know not a concentrate) but ive never been able to get close to that with my DIY mixes so far.

Not a Straight 'Baccy Then?...
Dunno if I'm Much Help as I'm into Straight, Dry-ish, 'Un-Adorned' Tobacco...Hence Steeping Leaf!
Possibly Mom & Pops' 'Tobacco Dolce' (From Chef's Vapour)?
'Cept I Have n't Tried it Yet.....Smells More Like Vanilla Ice-Cream to Me!!
'Cubano Type' by Flavo(u)r Apprentice (in Same Order..) HAS Been Used Tho' as it Adds Depth to My Havanna Leaf Mix.........Would n't Fit Your Sweet Criteria Tho'..

[sonicflowjoe]

Golden rollie by flavour art is a good one. There is a recipe in the tobacco recipe section of mixology called smooth golden rollie which is ace. I made up 200mls last time and it's disappearing fast

I've Never Mixed G/R From Concentrate, Only as a Pre-Mix. Not Bad, Quite Dry Tho'...Not Sure it Fits O/P's Criteria of 'Sweet-ish'. I May Get Some Tho' as Many are Rec'ing it.............

I know what you're saying but the smooth golden rollie recipe adds a whole new dimension imo. It's definitely 'sweetish' with the added caramel. FA caramel is lush too btw

Should Suit Both of Us Then! (I'll Hold the Caramel!! )

Not sure if that means you like it or not? I'll let you hold it though as long as you give it back

[yourgurnard]

That's 'Hold' as in American Diner...'Hold the Mayo!
ie. I Won't Give it Back 'cos I Would n't Take it in the 1st Place!

...Oh, O/T but You Should Have Vapemail Tomorrow or Friday....'

[sonicflowjoe]

Nice one vapemail is always good will look forward to it mate. Cheers

Just checked out the recipe for GR, are those % right? they seem quite low.

[osdset]

I found that GR at 8% per 100ml was about right for me, tried it at 5% and it just didn't hit the spot. Deffo needs steeping for 2 to 3 weeks though or it tastes like freshly cut wet grass.
It's the best tobacco flavour I've come across so far, and I've tried plenty of pre made ones.

[furbs]

Your talking about 8% total DIY mix? or 8% of the GR in the mix?

The percentages are fine mate. It's a very strong concentrate which makes it excellent value for money

[sonicflowjoe]

Actually i think on advise from the recipe maker i upped the caramel to 3% and the AP to 2%
