making juice for refill of cartomizers for kit - advice

[clivealive1]

hi,

The other half uses Super Electronic Cigarette Starter Kit (shown below)
and iam looking to refill the cartomisers, told you can refill them 5 times each.
she used to smoke raffles 12 MG.

I have:
flavour arts dark rolled & flavour arts golden rollie flavours (kindly donated by Poochops).

I have no idea on what levels will give the mrs a simular puff/strength etc and what of the two would give closest affect ?

I have never used tobacoo flavours myself

what one would be best and at what percentages ???

oh no matter how hard I try I cant get mrs to move onto proper vapping.





cheers

Clive

Sorry, I don't do tobacco flavours either, but I might wind up doing it for someone else, so I thought I'd give your thread a bump.

I wouldn't go for too high a VG % as it takes a while to get it to soak into the cartos, anything up to 50/50 should be fine. As for flavour, trial and error I'm afraid

[clivealive1]

would 70/30 be ok, my normal mix.

70PG/30VG?  Yep, perfect

hopefully someone will come along and advise percentage.
I know no one can give exact percentage just looking for 5-8 % or 10-15% etc.

All I would say is to start low with the flavours say 5% then try it, flavour strengths differ wildly and then there's the users preference.

Start at 5% then try, if too low add another 1%, try add another 1% etc.. till you get what you're looking for and MAKE A NOTE of what you end up with also the flavour will develop with steeping and probably get a bit stronger and hopefully smoother, steep for 1 - 2 weeks for tobacco flavours is commonly recommended.

thanks everyone so far

20% will be very strong.  I mixed it at 5% and it was way too much and diluted it to 2.5 and it's not so bad

I mix Golden Rollie and Virginia at 3% and other Flavourart tobaccos (Perique Black, Burley, and Dark Vapour) at 4% - I have never tried Dark Rolled.

[clivealive1]

steep for 2-3 weeks i think

This is the absolute minimum for tobacco flavours clivealive1 - the longer you leave it, the stronger and deeper the flavour - I leave all tobacco mixes to naturally steep for 4 weeks minimum.

[clivealive1]

yeah revised gonna try 3 % first off , see how it goes
steep for 4 weeks.

clivealive1, I use Dark Rolled @4% in a 70/30 PG/VG mix. It is similar to Golden Rollie, slightly more earthiness to it than GR.

Another one of FA which I highly recommend is, 'Dark Vapure' - I mix that @8% and is quite a nice tobacco flavour with a slight woody/earthiness to it. If your using them for refill's in carto's - I would maybe add 1-2% to your mix, as the taste isn't as prominent as what it would be in a tank or dripper. Also, IMO, these flavours need a minimum of 10 days+ steeping to get the best out of them.
