As a few people have shown interest, I have decided to post a few recipes / mixes that I have developed, that I particularly like. All are at 18mg strength and make up 10mls. But first, a bit of information…
I use a good 50mg VG base Nic and add PG and VG and flavours to get to the final PG/VG ratios defined in the recipes, it’s my preference but you can change accordingly.
If you do make any changes, don’t forget to factor the carrier of the flavours into the calculations (for example, if it is a PG based flavour or a VG based one), it makes a lot of difference, as flavours can make up to 20% or even more of the final mix. Looking at my stash, most of mine are PG based, but you can get VG ones.
Tobaccos, to my mind, always work better with a higher VG mix about 30PG/70VG, and I find combos (tobacco and fruits) usually work well at 50PG/50VG. Fruits work for me at 70PG/30VG. This is not hard and fast, just a starting point, I do tweak these in my recipes sometimes.
I also do a little “home brewing” and make my own concentrates, extracting flavours myself from tobacco leaves or cigars, etc… I always use VG as the extracting carrier. Tobacco and VG just seem to work well together (like bacon and eggs). I won’t include any of those recipes here as it would be difficult for anyone to replicate, but urge anyone to give it a go, it is easy and very satisfying if you like real tobacco flavours.
All the strengths, PG/VG ratios and flavour %, can be adjusted…. Everyone’s taste perception will be different. I would suggest a calculator to adjust any flavours and can highly recommend e-juice calculator here
ejuice.breaktru.com/As in cooking, accurate measurements are essential and I only ever use a finely graduated 1ml syringe to measure amounts exactly.
Flavours are referenced with:- TPA= The Perfumers Apprentice, FA= Flavour Art, DV=Decadent Vapours, Lorann= Lorann food flavourings, if Vodka is used it is Smirnoff or similar, if Distilled White Vinegar is used it is Morrisons.
So, a couple of my favourites to start with:-
Frogs Vanilla & Caramel TobaccoA nice sweet and creamy tobacco, with a hint of nut in the mouth on the inhale and caramel tobacco on the exhale, I find it a good smooth all day vape.
