Tobacco Recipes

I just started getting into tabs and have these:

Dark For Pipe
Red For Pipe
Am4A
Dark Vapure
Desert Ship
Tobacco Absolute Virginia
Gold Ducat

The only ones I’ve used so far are Dark For Pipe and Am4A. I mix them with FA Caramel/Almond/MTS and they turn out great. Which one should I try next?

I’m thinking I might like that one too. In the notes it says it’s like an RYO called Amsterdam Shag which I used to smoke back in the day.

Do you mix it with anything or just make it straight up?

One of my top 3 tobacco mixes…

Double A Ducat v2 Gmix

Ingredient %
Acai Berry (FW) 2
Acetyl Pyrazine 5% 0.5
Fuji Apple (FA) 1
Gold Ducat (INAWERA) 3.5
Koolada 10% (TPA) 2
Menthol 25% (DIY) 1
Tobacco DNB Flavour (INAWERA) 0.5

Flavor total: 10.5%

oh buddy that looks nice. anything with fuji apple in it is a winner in my book.

i only have these out of that list. would it still be a decent vape you think?

Acetyl Pyrazine 5%
Fuji Apple (FA)
Gold Ducat (INAWERA)
Koolada 10%

The Acai really makes this mix, but apple tobacco is always good. You can flip this to a caramel apple tobacco if you have a caramel at 2-3%. Lower Koolada to 1% also.

That’s a great idea. I’ll throw 2% FA Caramel into it. Gonna whip it up now. Thanks!

All set… 2 minutes down, 30 days to go.

Give it a taste in 2 weeks. It might be ok… there’s no DNB in it.

Gotcha… A 4 week steep can be kinda rough without taking a taste every now and then.

This thread has me thinking a lot about tobacco. My absolute favorite RYO tobacco is called Norwegian Shag. Just by looking at the description, is it possible to recommend a tab or blend of tabs that might be able to get me into the ballpark:

“Tobacco Selection: A quality blend consisting of milder Virginia tobaccos, some air-cured Burley and fine Oriental tobaccos.
Tobacco cut: Extra fine cut.
Tobacco Flavor/Aroma: Light aromatic – American taste. Mild.”

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but this quest is a bit of a needle in a haystack. :pensive:

My fav RYO for years and years was Peter Stokkebye London Export. I had the same quest, but nothing really came close to the Stokkebye shag. So, I processed a NET using the real thing. It turned out tasting delightful and it was my virgin journey into the world of NET.

As I remember, the Amsterdam and Norwegian shag was a bit on the stout side; rough on my throat and lungs. To me, the London was the mildest of the bunch; good thing, 'cause I usually polished off 1.5oz. in 2 days.

NET is not hard to do and it will give you the taste you desire. There are a few threads on ELR concerning NET…the search bar will get you there. :wink:

That looks pretty interesting and a lot easier than trying to find a tab flavoring. I didn’t look through the entire thread @Pro_Vapes made, but I would assume there is nic in the extraction. If so, is there a way to know what you’re getting? Or maybe the nic burns off in the crock pot? IDK… maybe the idea of nic burning off doesn’t make sense. I’m just spit-balling here, so give me a break! :smirk:

This NET process will give you the flavor you want, but way less coil gunk in the end. It is by far my favorite NET method. With heated extractions, though the flavor may be a bit stronger, unless you have an excellent filtering system going, you will need to do a cotton change and coil burn after 4 to 6ml worth of juice. It’s just the nature of the beast, but that 6ml worth of vape is awesome! :grinning:

I was doing some tank mixing, with some mixes I had on hand. A dropper of this, two droppers of that, half a dropper of something else. It’s an affliction, I know. But it’s so much fun!

I stumbled upon one that made me say wow. I immediately wrote down the mixes I blended together. I tried to duplicate it this morning, using what I thought (hoped) would be a close approximation of the percentages.

I have high hopes for this one. We’ll see how it turns out, after a little time in the bottle.

Mad Scientist You! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I see you’re using toasted marshmallow for a bit of sweetener. I’ve been going a bit heavy as of late and about to branch out to adding a bit of something sweet (other than cotton candy/ethyl maltol) to knock off the edges a bit.

What else are you using lately to take off the rough edges?

I go through phases, with the sweeteners. Not mixing the dessert, pastry, fruit mixes, I didn’t have much ammo, in the sweetening department, when I started. I tried to think of flavors that I thought would compliment tobacco.

I started out with FA Caramel Candy, FA Maple Syrup, FA Toasted Marshmallow, FA Brown Sugar, and FA Black Honey Tobacco. Of those, I’ve used the Toasted Marshmallow & Black Honey a bit, recently. The Maple Syrup & Brown Sugar have always been hard for me to get the amounts right, for what I expect them to add, if that makes sense. That could be me though. I usually tread lightly with the sweet additives. I want to know it’s there, without standing out. Like you said, take the rough edges off.

I’ve had good luck with the FW Bavarian Cream too. I recently added FLV Sweet Coconut, FW Hazelnut, and Hangsen Australian Chocolate. I haven’t used them a lot, but I like what the Coconut & Hazelnut add. To me, they are ‘smooth’ flavors. I like what they add to tobaccos. The Australian Chocolate was a crap shoot, I didn’t have anything chocolate, and there were sooo many to choose from, I took a stab in the dark. I’m still fiddling with that one, looking for the right strength. It might not have one, for all I know, but I’ll keep trying.

I have two tobaccos, that I really don’t treat as tobaccos. I use them in light amounts, as sweeteners. INW Vanilla for Pipe, and the previously mentioned FW Black Honey. The vanilla and the honey in them are just too potent and take over, long before I get to anything that resembles tobacco. I do like them both, though, to add a little sweetness. The Black Honey is really strong. I keep that really low.

I don’t have any Cotton Candy, or EM in my stash. I guess I always gravitated towards sweet flavors, vs just sweet sweet. Maybe I should give them a try in the future.

BAM! I think I nailed the Doc Hump on the first try. It’s really good.

Should get even better with a little steeping.
