Hi guys

Anyone make anything good with TFA DK Tobacco II

Thanks

DK Tobacco was one of the first concentrates I ever bought - I didn't like it and shelved it. Maybe I should pull it out again and give it another go. My tastes may have changed or my DIYing may have improved enough since then that I don't stuff it up like I surely did way back when

I seem to recall finding it particularly bitter...

Ah, thank you. Saw a similar recipe here, but using TFA Vanilla Swirl in stead of Shisha Vanilla. Certainly on my to mix list now that we have INW Gold Ducat available locally from @YeOldeOke here. And they stock the INW Cherry.

@Andre What is the steep time for this if I add tfa vanilla swirl

Ran out of nicotine. Hope to get some Friday. Have already mixed it, ready for the nic. Smells great. Took a small vape too, think I am going to like it.

No doubt about that, and it gets better the longer it steeps. Cracked open a 3 month old bottle the other day. Wow!

Remember to rate @Patrick's recipe here.

Was that with or without the Sesame?

Gitanes homage
http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/598996/Gitanes+homage

2% Burley (FA)
2.5% Caramel (FA)
4% Catalan Cream (FA)
1% Holiday Spice (TPA)
1% MTS Vape Wizard (FA)
2% Toasted Almond (TPA)
3% Western (TPA)

Flavor total: 15.5%
Western is a bit of a shock. It's a dead ringer for Gitanes. Among the poseurs that I used to hang with in the 80s you were either a Left Bank Gitanes kinda guy or a Gauloises artiste. I was the latter, but for any of you out who were the former, this will bring back the those heady days.

For those of you that don't know the flavour, it is in your face tobacco almost verging on a cigar, and ashy with a decent throat hit. I added the cream to lift it and the caramel, nutmeg (Holiday Spice) and almond to give it lesser notes and complexity. The burley is there purely to drag the mix towards a more mainstream tobacco flavour.

Steep: 3-4 weeks.

@Viper_SA - it goes very nicely with a bog wet single malt, late at night.

Andre said:
This one has TFA Western, @GregF. Just cracked my bottle a few minutes ago (mixed 13/7/2016). My initial impressions:- I like it a lot and will certainly mix up a bigger batch. The Holiday Spice and Almond are barely noticeable on the exhale and really adds a lot of interest. I pick up some lovely citrus notes in the background? Definitely more towards cigar/cigarette than pipe tobacco. Almost too smooth for me - might go down on or leave out the MTS next time, depending on how it tastes over a longer period.
Thank you for the recipe @Patrick. For sure different to the tobacco recipes I have tried so far, which is great as variety is the spice of life!

I made this originally without the Holiday Spice and was enjoying it quite a bit.
The Western comes through nicely.
I just received some Holiday Spice and thought I would add it in.
@Andre if you want this a little "more in your face" then leave out the Holiday Spice. I agree that it is a little light after I added the Holiday Spice, it seems to subdue the Western.
Both are good mind you.

Oh no, I just love that little touch of nutmeg. In my second batch I have upped the Western and Burley by 0.5 % each and decreased the MTS by the same percentage.

Damn I only have 2 ingredients for the Gitanes.

Back to my shopping list :/

Ah didn't think of that. Will add some more Burley and Western to my mix, cant do anything about reducing the MTS but there is always a next time.

@GregF ur american light cig is very real..just gave my 6 year old a kiss and she runs to my wife and says daddy is back on cigs agn

I know it was on here somewhere but I cant find it now.
@Viper_SA Durandt's Treachery is here as well.

FW Ankara - 3.5%
FA Black Fire - 1%
FA Dark Vapure - 1.5%
INW Dirty Neutral Base - 1%
FW Latakia - 3%
FA MTS Vape Wizard - 1%
INW Sesame - 0.5%

I mixed this up about two weeks ago and tasting now AGAIN!
For me this is quite a complicated tobacco mix, very nice and a little different.
To quote what @Viper_SA said about it

"Durandt's Treachery is a dark, almost musty and bitter pipe tobacco. Has a nice 'warm' note on the exhale, but not every time. A little unpredictable, and keeps me vaping it to find that mote again and again. Might be tbe touch of Sesame coming through. The dirty neutral base is like a good mixer tobacco, for pipe or cigarette IMO. The FW Ankara is very herbal and bitter, much like Storm, but much darker and with less of a menthol/camphor note. More of a woody note. The FW latakia is much darker than the FA version, with more depth and warmth."

I like it and yes it keeps you guessing. I keep thinking that next time I will lower the Sesame but then I taste again and other notes come through.
I wont be changing anything, except the quantity that I made.
If you want something different from the normal tobacco mixes then this is worth a try. That Sesame changes everything.
Thanks @Viper_SA

At last got to try Durandt's Treachery. I mixed it without the Sesame.

It is dark, wild and mysterious!

My first sensations are damp, slightly sour and herbal. In the background throughout is a bitter-sweet aroma.Nice and smoky with smooth leathery and wood notes. Despite so much going on it is not sharp, but mellow. Not dry like most tobaccos. A full mouth wetness, which is awesome.

This is not your traditional tobacco. Imagine opening a very new pouch of very dark tobacco with the strands still damp. Tamp it into your pipe and spend some time getting it to smolder properly. Now you have it!

I love it. Perfect for a change of pace from the run of the mill stuff. Experienced cowboy or lone ranger diet.

Thank you for the recipe @Viper_SA.

I had a request for a tobacco recipe and came up with Redrum. If you have the time and ingredients could you or any tobacco expert give me some feedback. I am not into this type of flavour so I made it on a gut feeling but I find it totally vapeable.
Hope you can help.

Wow @Andre
I woukd have settled for 'it's nice'. Getting such awesome feedbsck from you means a lot, especially since you have sampled so many international tobaccos as well. Really appreciate it.

I do not have TFA DK tobacco unfortunately. Sounds nice, maybe will be too sweet for my taste.

Viper_SA · 4/12/16

@KZOR
That 6% FA Maple syrup may be too much. I used it at 1% and found it quite sweet. That was with INW Gold Ducat though, which is also a sweet tobacco.

I assume you meant 3 .....ok .....will lower it.
Thanks a lot.

hi guys so made a mix with dk tobacco and its rather interesting combination of slight bitterness, limey feel with acidic feel

i mixed

3% dk tobacco II TFA
10% blck cherry TFA
1,5% vanilla swirl

70 30 vg pg

end result inhale limey acidy tobacco which carries on with the exhale but right at the very end u gifted with cherry

the cherry is high but offsets the tart dk nicely

def not for everyones tastes

me likes alot..."bitter sweet moments"

on my siren gta at 2,5mm airflow very sour tobacco taste with nice sweet end but dropping down to quarter of 2,5 mm airflow sourness reduced alot

tested siren gta 0,7 kanthal coil

think will pair very well with full bodied whiskey
