Just bought a ton of FA tobaccos, flavors and add-ons (Bitter Wizard, MTS VW, ect). There is a small list of percentages in the DIY guide for FA. I know it's all subjective but does anyone have a comprehensive listing of percentages for FA as a starting point?

All i got is MM 10% . vape wiz ,Bitter wizard and magic mask 1-2% /. Usually a drop or two
from some reading heres what i have read... they are strong and as their own website says start with 5%... i only use the caramel from them and i dont find it as strong as everybody does with their other flavors.
I havent found the couple i tried that strong either . No where near the recomended 1-2% lol . Maybe their tobaccos are but i havent tried them
There is a thread somewhere with a flavor profile on the tobaccos they carry and some basic percentage recommendations. Type Flavor Art and Flavour Art into the search engine above when you have time to research it. The tobaccos say to start at 2 percent I think but I have read many opinions here of people using the tobaccos up to 18-20 percent. I find that mind boggling because to me they are VERY potent/strong in the tobacco essence department across the board. Some say a tobacco flavor can completely change at higher percentages and with steeping time.
As for their other flavors, it really depends what your intended recipe is. My general rule of thumb with this company is to start low and add more to taste in a small sample batch with no nic. For me thats usually 5-15 percent depending on the particular non-tobacco flavor. The Perique Black is very strong even at 1-2 percent at least for me.

Since I've been taking notes on a number of FA tobacco tests over the last few weeks, I'll give an example of why it's best to try it for yourself. Just one flavoring, Perique Black
At 4% is a full flavor without any edges, but still has dark tobacco tones.
At 6% is very light with an interesting background flavor that is slightly spicy.
At 10% dry and spicy with a solid dark tobacco tone, but seems sweet.
At 12% is a bit edgy with a very full dark tobacco taste.
All were tasted after 2 weeks of sitting after being mixed as the taste is completely different when fresh. Used an I06 atty at 9.6 Watts for testing.
I picked this one because each level tasted good, but different. If anyone says that a FA tobacco has to be mixed at X%, it means they have just found one taste that it is capable of. My mixes range from 5-15% for tobaccos and these are the only flavorings that I use fractions of a percent to tweak them in. (Seeing a note like "6.7% total flavoring" is not unusual in my recipe notes for my FA tobacco recipes, but anything else is always in whole numbers.)
Your OP reads like you have a bunch of fun ahead of you...

Now that a good review . Hoosier why dont you do any reviews in the flavor review section ? Im sure youve had experience using lots of flavors .
Sorry, I don't do reviews or recorded interviews and always try to resist the temptation to give unsolicited advice. Just part of Hoosier's personal code of conduct.
are your FA recipes posted anywhere or are they all classified info?
I use Flavour Art tobaccos in most of my mixes. I find them to have really good true tobacco flavor but they are VERY strong! I would recommend starting out with 2 drops per 5ml and then add more if needed.
Hoosier is right in mentioning that tobacco flavors need to steep. Fresh mixes will sometimes taste chemically/perfumery for several days after they have been mixed if they contain tobacco flavors. I usually let them steep for a week before taste testing.
Good luck!
