DIY Tobacco Recipes

This one I had @RichJB in mind. Something to use up closing down sale purchases and specifically that Irish Cream.
I find Maxx Blend (both FA and INW) to be a little too spicy for me, especially if you do not let it steep for any length of time. The Irish Cream smooths that out quite a bit in here and makes this quite a creamy tobacco vape.
INW Flue Cured is a nice strong dry leaves tobacco concentrate and can be added to just about any tobacco mix.
FA Latakia for some added tobacco.
This is a quite mild, well by my standards anyway, especially without the Latakia which I added in the end. It is not an "in your face tobacco" and quite creamy.
I have too much of all these and needed something to start using them up.

InXs2
INW Maxx Blend - 3%
INW Flue Cured - 3%
FA Irish Cream - 1.5%
FA Latakia - 1.5%

There is an InXs(1) in the making but so far it is an abortion.
 
I think the Rocketpuppy RY4 deserves a place in any tobacco thread.
Straight up RY4 without the exaggerated CaraMel and Vanillas, that is usually the case with these types...

5% TFA RY4 Double
0.2% TFA Acetyl Pyrazine 5% PG
0.5% FA Vanilla Bourbon
0.5% FA Vienna Cream
0.5% FA Caramel

I have a 30ml bottle a month of this, despite not being the biggest RY4 fan

Made it in 100ml and loving it. took the RY4 down slightly to 4% to taste. Thanks for this one
 
I really like ELP Special Reserve... Since I am new to DIY, does anyone know of a recipe that is close to it? I just need a starting point and can tweak from there...

Try the Smooth Famous Tobacco recipe.
 
I made this 21/07 and after mixing had a taste. The honey was too much for me and I didnt hold out too much hope.
18/08 had a taste again, again I found the honey was too much for my liking.
17/09 the honey had subsided quite a bit and I thought it was not too bad. Didnt take much notice after that.
Today I thought I would give it a try again. It has turned into something really nice and makes it to the preblend table.

Found the recipe here

A smooth Cubano cigar with a touch of sweet almond

Fidel's Private Stock
TFA Black Honey - 3%
FA Catalan Cream - 4%
TFA Cubano Type - 3%
CAP Graham Cracker v2 - 2.5% (original recipe uses FW Graham Cracker 5%)
FA Marzipan - 2%
FA MTS Vape Wizard - 1%
FA Perique Black - 1%

Steep min 8 weeks. I found before that the honey overpowered everything.

@Gregf,and I can honestly say I have all the ingredients.

Make it, you wont be sorry. Just let it steep for a long time. I didnt like it at all before a long steep.
Then again you might prefer it with the honey in the foreground.
 
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.

Made Cherry Vanilla for Pipe in my continued, slow tobacco exploration - baby steps... I'm enjoying Gold Ducat and thinking of using the same base but swap the cherry for Pear. I'm thinking something along the lines of:

Gold Ducat (INW) 3.00%
Pear (INW) 1.00%
Vanilla Swirl (TFA) 1.50%

Thoughts?

Which other tobacco's are similar to Gold Ducat ito flavour?

I made Hipster Coffee Tobacco a while back - also something I enjoy...

A delicious and subtle pear flavored tobacco - perfect for the bacco novice and pro alike!

In my slow exploration of tobacco recipes, I wanted a mild, slightly sweet tobacco experience without the often off-putting "wham" of full-on tobacco.

INW Pear Tobacco/INW Pear
A mild, slightly sweet tobacco with fresh pear top notes, but just not enough pear for my liking. I boosted the subtle pear notes with with a touch of INW Pear, which is still the best pear around IMO.

INW Gold Ducat
A fabulous tobacco for tobacco virgins! The ducat boosts the pear tobacco and brings with it natural honey and nuts which perfectly marries with the pear.

INW Biscuit and HS French Vanilla Ice cream
I find tobacco recipes to be too linear and the addition of these two superstars adds that roundness and fullness to take this to the next level. this also brings a of familiarity to the bacco novices... The HS FVIC can be subbed for 1% FA Cream.

DuPear
INW Biscuit 1%
HS French Vanilla Ice Cream 0.5%
INW Gold Ducat 2%
INW Pear 1%
INW Tobacco Pear 3%

Here is my question I really like the CV artisan ry4... can any 1 recommend a recipe with similar taste using only tfa concentrates that’s the only shop that’s near to me...

Thankyou in advance

I wish I could help you @Jakes247GP but when I stopped smoking I bought a few commercial juices in the beginning and then went into DIY so I dont know what most of the stuff out there taste like.
Probably beneficial for me in the long run because in all likelihood I dont know what I am missing and just vape everything and anything that I make. I must be doing something right because it has kept me off the cigs for almost two years now.
You are in this thread because you DIY I would guess. Do yourself a favour and dont chase a specific juice that you think you would like. Have a look at the index of this thread and try one or two of them that you think would be up your ally. You might be pleasantly surprised and head off to some other tangent that you would have never thought of going down.
I see this is your first post so please introduce yourself here and tell us a little about yourself.
The guys here are quite helpful so dont be afraid to ask questions. I obviously dont have an answer to your question but somebody else might.

In case it helps @GregF - I did a review of Craft Vapour Artisan RY4 here:

I can't help you @Jakes247GP - but take heed of @GregF 's words - he is experienced at this !

Hi Guys

So I got my mixing goodies today so I will be trying out the rocketpuppy recipe. I have all the ingredients except for the FA caramel but I got the TFA DX caramel original any tips if I should double up on that flavour? I have read here somewhere that the TFA flavour is not so intense as the FA. Also any tips on the minimum steep days will make a few bottles also for longer steep time.

I am not a big fan of sweet tobacco so I would go with 0.5% TFA and have a taste. If you feel you want more then add more.
This is the beauty of DIY. Everyone will get or want something different.
I personally would not let it steep before making that call. Mix, have a taste, if you like it leave it to steep a few days, if you think it needs more caramel then add some more (0.5%) and taste again. If you still dont like it then let it sit for a few days, it will smooth out and blend together over time. If after steeping you still dont like it then you will need to try something else.
Chances are you will probably like it, you can vape it, but you feel something is missing..........Welcome to the world of DIY......have fun.
 
My 1st DIY... thanks @GregF for all the tips... and everyone else on this post been reading all of the tips you guys posted...
