Thank you Scubabatdan!

[FACE MEAT]

After getting an 8mL vial of Seedman's Commercial tobacco concentrate from Wizard Labs in the mail today, I hunted down your tobacco base recipe and made myself 15 milliliters of it. I then made myself a 30mL batch with 10% of the Scubabatdan concentrate recipe. After a vigorous shake, I loaded up my REO Grand and had a vape.

Hot damn, it's flipping delicious! Seedman's Commercial tobacco has a really nice anise flavor which compliments the Tobacco Absolute's earthy pungency well.

Now, my question for Mr. Batdan and others who may have some insight on this wonderful concentrate: does it change over time? If so, what does it transform into?

how I did it:
7.5mL Seedman's Commercial Tobacco
7.5mL EM 10% crystals in PG
1 drop TFA Tobacco Absolute Pure

Ha my question was going to be how it compared to TA and you answered my question. You must be a mind reader. Looks like seedmans is next on my list.

Seedman's Commercial Tobacco is entirely different from TA. I wouldn't be surprised if there's no actual tobacco in Commercial Tobacco. It's got a really complex and interesting flavor though. I'll Be ordering more.

FACE MEAT. I don't have TA Pure. I only have the Tobacco Absolute Blend by TFA. That contains TA Pure, Ethyl Maltol and PG. I have no idea what the TAP and EM proportions are in this mixture.

Was wondering if I should try...
7.5mL Seedman's Commercial Tobacco
7.5mL TFA Tobacco Absolute Blend

The Blend description is...
Tobacco Absolute Blend PG concentrated flavoring is FDA approved for use in food, beverages, and products for human consumption. Concentrated Tobacco Extract diluted to a 10% solution in Propylene Glycol. This is a natural tobacco extract that is extremely strong even after being diluted to a 10% solution.

Ingredients: Tobacco Absolute Pure, Ethyl Maltol, Propylene Glycol

Or...
7.5mL Seedman's Commercial Tobacco
7.0mL Ethyl Maltol
10 drops TFA Tobacco Absolute Blend

Any thoughts? Anyone used the TAB blend making Dan's recipe?

 

[FACE MEAT]

I don't know the exact recipe for TFA's TA blend, but there's already quite a bit of EM in it. To me, it looks and smells like 1 drop of TA Pure in 10% EM solution.

50% Seedman's Commercial Tobacco 50% TFA TA Blend should give you something very similar to what I made.

Thanks FACE. The TAB does smell pretty sweet in the bottle. I'll try a small 50/50 batch and see how that turns out. 1/2 ml of each with 9ml of base just to get a quick idea. Any steeping needed?

Any steeping needed?

It's good straight away. I'm not sure what, if any, changes will occur over time.
