I love oksmokey golden virginia and amber leaf but can't get 24 mg strength,i have bought a higher and lower strength and mixed them but i wondered if there are any recipes for making my own that taste like oksmokey.I have tried GV and AL from different suppliers but they don't taste the same.

the nic strength depends on what amount is used in a calculation for strength required,i have not found much in flavours that will be near GV,in end i stuck with mixing just with Virginia Flavourings, if any hand roll that your trying to mimic in Ejuice may well be difficult as most hand roll tobbaco use probably 3 or more different leaves even trying to mix three different tobacco leaf flavourings you would have to experiment over and over in getting exact quantity from each flavouring, think thats why you get almost taste like near but not really spot on oh you do not steep a pouch of GV or Amberleaf to get flavour,theres a lot of chemicals in it ,i asked a while ago wil say though even i was staunch tobac flavour especially GV, tried vanilla custard now changing my mind lol its actually nice

I doubt if you'll match the OK Smokey. I'd try out non-tobacco flavours, see if you find one you like. A lot of people seem to move from tobacco after a month or two
If you try e.g. Decadent flavour-based juices (from Vapourjuice or Liberty Flights among others) then you can buy the corresponding flavours and mix your own easily.

Paradise Vape do both these baccys up to 36mg. paradisevapeuk.vstore.ca/ejuice-tobacco-flavour-c-1_6.html

Hi Dowden, It probably will not be the same. How can it be? Vaping Recipes use Food Flavouring to imitate a burning tobacco flavour. That is impossible to get exactly correct. At best it will be close, but that is all.
I used to smoke Mayfair fags and so when I saw Paradise Vape were selling an e-juice of Mayfare I bought some. It was nothing like the Mayfair taste I was looking for. So I got about 8 or 9 samples of each flavour that I thought might be close to Mayfair and sure enough, one fitted just right. That one was Royals and I have been using it ever since.
It is much easier for e-juice blenders to make true taste e-juice of Foods and Drinks than it is to make Tobaccos which is why there are so many food flavour compared to tobacco ones and also why so many Vapers choose to vape food flavours rather than tobacco.
It is also possible to get a Zing from a food flavoured Vape, the same zing that you get from smoking a cigarette, but clearly impossible to reproduce in a tobacco e-juice.
Dowden, buy many samples and try them all over a period of time and eventually you will hit on some that will suit you.
It took me a few months to find a tobacco flavour that I could vape all day, 7am till 6pm. In the evening I experiment with different flavours and I end each day with an hour of Menthol.
In time you too will have a selection of what you like.
