Mad4cats: Wow! Thanks for that. Your suggestions should give me a good head start. Looks like I'm almost there. Let's hope I'm a better ejuice mixer than cook/baker.

Check out Grizswalds recipe for the perique black & dark vapure, then maybe a bit of caramel, coconut, maybe a hint of chocolate . . there's probably alot lot more to it then that but that's the beauty of mixing your own . . . experimenting

[dizzi]

Grizwald's Guide to Mixing has two tobacco recipes you might like Addict, from this thread allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=mixology&action=display&thread=2230&page=1 (stickied at the top of the Mixology page):

PERIQUE BLACK WALNUT @ 20mg

150 drops - F'art Perique Black 20mg
6 drops - Black Walnut (LorAnn)

Method:
Make up the Perique Black first and leave for 24 hours before adding the Black Walnut. Leave again for 24 hours and vape.

When I first started mixing my 2 favourite F'art Tobacco flavours were Perique and Burley. I vaped quite a bit of both in my early days as a vaper. However, I always thought the Perique could do with something extra to compliment the strong flavour and found that the Black Walnut did the trick. Perique Black is more akin to a pipe tobacco so if you're an ex pipe smoker, or just looking for a strong tobacco flavour, then I can highly recomend this.

----------------------------------------------------------------------


CREAMY NUT BURGINIA @ 20mg

22 drops - F'art Burley 20mg
22 drops - F'art Virginia 20mg
30 drops - Creamy Pistacchio 20mg

Method:

First make up the Burley and Virginia. Then make up the Creamy Pistacchio recipe already mentioned. And after allowing to sit for 24 hours mix them together in the given proportions and allow to sit for a further 24 hours before vaping.

This recipe I developed for a person I had introduced to vaping. He had tried a 555 recipe using these 2 tobaccos but was not impressed. Now as he also enjoyed my Creamy Pistacchio recipe I formulated this for him. After a bit of tweaking with ammounts he found, what was for him, a favourite tobacco vaping juice. Not particularly my cup of tea. But it's here if you wish to try it.

I can't personally recommend them as I'm not keen on the tobaccos, Frogster has some more tobacco recipes here: allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=mixology&action=display&thread=11793&page=13 Scroll down a bit to get 3 tobacco based recipes.

Lots of Flavour Art tobacco flavourings are currently available from Liberty Flights: www.liberty-flights.co.uk/product.asp?id=15 and they all have reviews so you can see what fancy the sound of.

I can't get over the kindness of folks on this forum. Thank you so very much. Time for me to bite the bullet and start ordering.

[dizzi]

Don't forget to steep.... and let us know how you get on! I'm dying to make more mixes but I'm still waiting for my stevia to arrive, so will live vicariously through you til it arrives.

[addict]

I'll be sure to let you know how I fare out.......if I ever get started. Encountered problems ordering some items. The vape wizard is out of stock so I'll have to do without it. Couldn't get the pg on ebay due to shipping/payment issues. The seller said they accept paypal but when I tried to buy I got a message saying I needed to register a credit card. Got fed up trying so added 3 x 100 ml bottles to the Liberty Flights basket instead. Just have to add flavours to the basket now and I'm finished. Have been on the internet all day and I'm absolutely exhausted. Need to take a break before reading more flavour reviews.

Keep your eyes peeled for the next Capella Group Buy.......... Capella's Vanilla Custard is delish

[addict]

Some of the flavours are out of stock on the Liberty Flights website. I'm getting very confused trying to sort out what I want and what I've already ordered. I have ordered some tobacco flavours from them and from one of the other vendors (can't remember which one) plus a couple of sweet flavours. Capella has a good website, and their flavours are free of diacetyl, so I think I'll buy the rest of my flavours from them because buying from different vendors is making postage quite expensive.

They sell 13ml or 4 oz bottles. 13ml seems very small. Is it better to buy the larger bottles?

[dizzi]

Addict, all the vendors will send emails on receipt of your order that will contain a list of what you've ordered (or a link to it). I'd suggest that you bung this info into a spreadsheet or a document so you can keep track of what you've ordered. I like to use a spreadsheet so I can see how much things cost, where I bought them and so on - makes for easier re-ordering as well. As for Capella, I'd go for 4oz bottles if I had the dosh - but 13ml is more than the 10ml you get in a FA/TPA/DV bottle so it's up to you. And if you have room in your order for an extra leetle bottle of Vanilla Custard, I'll bung you my address and the extra ££ it'll cost you + postage

[addict]

Dizzi: I'll be delighted to add a bottle of Vanilla Custard for you. Do you want the 13 ml or the 4 oz bottle? I'm sure they give a discount on orders of a number of 4 oz bottles so that's what I'll order. Might as well make it worth the postage.

The spreadsheet is a great suggestion. Thanks.

You're doing so very well Addict . . . but don't try and do it all at once will you, plus like ready mix flavours your tastes will change with concentrates, so I wouldn't go mad buying 4oz bottles until you know which suit you and which don't, as tempting as it is.

I have a 4oz bottle of Capella Vanilla Custard concentrate that I purchased to try..... And I know this is like blasphemy…… but……. I HATE IT, and will not use it in any of my mixes!

It is just sitting there…. Taunting me….. So I may well split it up into smaller bottles, and flog it on, to any wanting Vanilla Custard Heads.

Or maybe just flush it!

[OneDay]

Froggy don't flush it

I'll happily take some if you're getting rid

[Frogster (The Alchemist)]

I'll PM you Oneday..... but it will be in the morning.....

Glad you think I'm doing well. I feel like I'm making a dog's dinner of it. Yes, I'll take your advice and order the smaller quantities. Thanks very much for the tip.

Have been filling in the spreadsheet and discovered that I ordered 12 pcks of dulce de leche instead of 2. Didn't like that website anyway and won't use them again so just as well I'll have a lifetime's supply of the stuff. One item on ebay cost £4.99 and shipping was £7.99. Feel like I'm back at work with all this spreadsheet and ordering stuff. Very impressed with Postmodern Smoking - easy ordering and very quick response. Will definitely use them again.
