I could make you a juice that tastes cigar like, no problem. I would be interested in one that was like gold cafe creme cigars for my husband. Haven't been able to find anything similar so far. Blimey, that's a bit of a jump. From a cigar like juice to gold cafe creme. Asking a bit much there I'm afraid.

I've been impressed by some menthol juices. Really like them.
Trouble is that I used to be a daily cigar smoker, which sets the bar high when it comes to tobacco flavours. The low point came when I bought a pre-mixed one described as a Cigar flavour and guess what... same old cheap tobacco flavour! Maybe I'll have to spend a bit more next time!
Jono I could make you a juice that tastes cigar like, no problem.

Which is the best method to reduce / dilute the flavour of a mix. ??? Does one just add more pg/vg, or voda / distilled water ?? Thanks experienced mixers for your replies. jeffc Unflavoured mix of the same strength/ratio as the original. Mix the two as required.

I'm not going to flame you Roger that sounds like good advice! I'm still pretty new to mixing so I'm mostly mixing just one flavour, occasionally 2. I think it's a good way to start as you are finding out the strength you like the single flavours so hopefully when I come to be a bit more adventurous I'll have a better idea what % to use! I think that is a sensible approach and as you say gives you a good idea. (I did similar when I started) Keep notes!!!

Have you noticed that there has been quite a few members reporting bad/yucky mixes lately? I'll bet there is a common theme. What do you think it could be Roger? I think peeps may be sometimes going too high on flavour %'s. We do have a bit of a school of 'mix everything at 20%+ on here. Too high % can make a juice yucky, it's a bit like over spicing a curry, too much and you get all heat-no taste. Don't get me wrong, some flavours work well at around the 20%, but not all. I firmly believe in starting lower and testing regularly. It's easier to be able to add more and lift flavours as opposed to having to thin out. I'll probably get shouted down for this, but by doing it this way I have only had one not turn out how I liked it. That one I accidently over flavoured and sent to Ash to try, typical. If your mix tastes a bit weak, but the flavour balance is about right, you just need to tweak it a bit. That mix that sleepyduck put up I would probably have gone 10/5/2/a bit to start with. Right, flame away!!

Well I mixed a batch of their Golden Rollie at 20% and used that for a bit The other day I decided to mix it at 5% and it tastes the same to me ??? They recommend @ 7-10%. I mix it at around 5% and it's good.

30% flavouring is a lot. Try toning it down a bit, same with the other bad mixes. You can always add more if it's not enough.

I have got one of those labeling machines. Generally use black on clear tape, doesn't run if it gets wet, sticks on well and peels off cleanly when needed. Not as fancy as some, but does the trick. I have a Brother P-touch 1000 I bought in Lidl a few years ago. They still get then in seasonally once a year. It's the Brother P-Touch 1080 I've got. They are a bit like a modern up market Dymo tape labeler!!!

Praze is on my next shopping spree than I'm pretty sure if you like Haze, you will like Praze. If you don't I'll buy it from you!!

I think the chart originally came from Flavorarts, ain't got a clue i was just a bit bored What I am in the process of doing is collating all the reviews of juices/flavourings I fancy, to find the common themes of taste etc. I think that could be useful in as much if 4 out of 5 reviews say it tastes similar to cat piss, then it's probably fair to say it doesn't taste of strawberries.

Roger at first i thought what is this then after five mins fell in love with it, nice and biscuity, bit like a desert...yummy Ain't tried the praze or ry4 yet, got some perfumers double RY4 to mess around with, read it's not perfumy like the the original perfumers RY4. I would say Praze is a more pronounced deeper flavour than Haze, it's got that bissqkitty (hint of Vermillion River) taste to it as well. I love both of them

That is probably just one person's interpretation and is only some of them.
