Doc Holiday and Billy the Kid needs some fine tuning by the tastes of it. Will continue to steep and see how they end up. Just a note of caution, TFA Turkish is very dominant even at 3% and at 0.5% INW Apple completely takes over a mix.

Just tried this one, made on Saturday. Around 0.7 ohm in a Cyclone. Quite good considering it has not even steeped a week yet.
Wyatt Earp, or 7&7, whichever you prefer. A nice mild, toasted cigarette-like taste, with hints of almond. The bavarian cream doesn't really stand out, just balances out the sweetness of the FA 7 Leaves nicely IMO

Looks like something I need to try.
Just need yet ANOTHER concentrate.
INW 7 leaves. Thanks

This looks great, except now there's another 7 Leaves I've gotta get

Doc Holiday:

A very light, sophisticated tobacco. Fit for a gentleman born and raised on the East Coast, but adventurous enough for his Wild West gallivanting.
Not overly sweet, but it has a sweet edge to it.

Viper_SA · 9/8/16

Billy the Kid:

I simple tobacco, for a man from simple beginnings. Think of Emilio Estevez in Young guns here. Probably an orphan, making his way on the streets of the Wild West, and earning his keep with a six gun. Slight nuances of dark Latakias, combined with a typical "western" type tobacco from Virginia or such. The TFA Turkish is very close to the TFA Western, hence my use of it here.

Those descriptions are legendary @Viper_SA !

Just mixed this up and it is great for a shake and vape.
It is from HIC's and can be found here.

HIC's Light American Cig Replacement

2-2.5% FlavourArt Cuban Supreme tobacco
0.5% FlavourArt Black Fire
0.25-0.5% FlavourArt Burley tobacco
0.25-0.5% FlavourArt Oakwood

(lowest percents listed for 'ultra-light' cig flavor; highest percents for 'light' cig flavor)

I went with the stronger %

On @GregF's post above, I mixed this one for my brother-in-law for last weekend. Added some FA Desert Ship to imitate a Camel taste (as per HIC suggestion in that thread) and as per my BIL's request. He liked it a lot and wants more. Mixed myself some too yesterday and started tasting today. Definitely more towards a cigarette with sweet and sour notes and some spices coming through. Less sweet and lighter than Bora Bora. Great freshly mixed. Am sure the tobacco will develop more over time. How close is it to a Camel Lights? Close enough imo (without the ashy of course), but have not had a cigarette for more than 3 years, so how knows! All I know is that I like it and will mix it again.

Here is the recipe as I mixed it:

Camel Lights

_____________________________________________________________________________

In that same HIC thread I got the idea for a standard Camel recipe.

You will see it is exactly the same recipe as for Camel Lights, but FA Cuban Supreme is replaced with FA Tuscan Reserve at a touch lower percentage.

The Tuscan Reserve certainly brings a stronger and more intense tobacco. And for me it gives a gorgeous sour note (will have to try it as standalone). Quite close to the real thing as far as I remember it. No doubt I shall mix this one up again.

My mix steeped for more than a month. I do think this one requires a much longer steep than the Lights. At least 3 weeks.

Camel

Going to have to try that desert ship in the next batch.

These "batches" are getting quite big.....

@Andre I added that FA Desert Ship to create that Camel Light taste and yes it works for me too.
Just goes to show it is worth reading all the comments on those threads.
Need to try the FA Max Blend for that Malboro flavour next.

Did you mix this 50/50 for your BIL?
I have been mixing everything 70/30, maybe I should try a 50/50 to see how it effects the throat hit.

Thanks for the feedback. I mix all my stuff 60/40. Imo this ratio gives me the best of all worlds - flavour uptake and retention, wicking, throat hit without been too much, steeping, medicinal properties of PG, enough clouds, not the overly sweet of a lot of VG, etcetera.

Viper_SA · 13/8/16

I also stick to 60/40 - 70/30. Any thicker and they don't squonk too well in the Reo. Some I do drop to 50/50 though, depending on what I want

GregF · 13/8/16

If anyone is interested I have just seen that Black Vapour have INW Gold Ducat in stock.
I know there was a shortage a little while ago. I think I got the second last one from e-cig.

GregF · 13/8/16

@Viper_SA I think it was you or @rogue zombie (cant remember) who said you are a INW tobacco fan.
Have you tried the INW Tobacco Drop Shisha?
According to the description "Tobacco and mix of sweets notes: caramel, cocoa, coconut, dried fruits. Everyone taste something different in it"
Think I need to try this.........
INW tobacco's have impressed me so far!

[edit] sorry just doing some shopping and need to ask the questions.

Not me. Ive only had Gold Ducat from them.

But if that's anything to go on, I believe INW know how to do tobacco.

I have it yes, and I am a fan of their tobaccos. I have only used their Shisha Tobacco Drop in my Billy the Kid mix. Can't really say what it's like on it's own though.

Silver · 13/8/16

I hope you tobacco DIY lads are going to bring some of your creations to VapeCon.

I think we may need to have a tobacco table for the heavy hitters

Viper_SA · 13/8/16

Alas @Silver, I refuse to go anywhere near Pretoria, unless it's a matter of life or death.

Im with you there but Vapecon is a matter of life or death and besides it is a Saturday

Good enough for me ....added to cart.
Want to mix that billy the kid anyway.

No way @Viper_SA
You not coming to VapeCon?
That is just so sad.

Well I think VapeCon may be a very important event for many of us - but certainly not life or death material - whatever your reasons are I will respect

GregF · 13/8/16

@Viper_SA you and I have to get our passports stamped and set a new time zone on our watches when we go to Pretoria

Its not that bad though @GregF
The venue is about 2km from the Eufees offramp on the highway to Pta, just before you get to Pta
Very easy to get to and easily accessible. Take offramp, turn left, go for about 2km amd its on the left.
Its pretty much directly opposite the Voortrekker monument
Not in the Pretoria CBD itself.

The main thing is that the venue is just so special for this event. We looked at several and Heartfelt Arena was by far the best for VapeCon - from the ones we saw.

Viper_SA · 13/8/16

I like to taste my concentrates undiluted in a cyclone. Just a plain PG/VG base and add a drop or two of a concentrate to gauge how strong it is and what profiles I get from it. Just had a brilliant idea for a tobacco dessert vape. Dark tobacco, coffee, caramel and dark chocolate. I have something in mind, but will mull it over before I mix anything. Will keep you posted
