Tobacco Flavour Percentage

[fluidline]

I am trying to mix a 10 ml bottle of tobacco liquid using Perique Black and any information that I can Find uses percentages.....I don,t understand. I watch a video and the guy is mixing a 5ml bottle consisting of 10 drops of Perique Black ( .5ml ) with 4.5 ml of PG to end up with a 10% strength mixing liquid. He then uses 1 ml. of the mix where it calls for 10% of the tobacco in a recipe. The next time I see a recipe that calls for 10% Perique Black, it doesn't say that I have to dilute it first.... When I try a 10 ml. recipe that calls for 10% Perique Black, I can't even vape it because it is so strong.
please help

I mixed this awhile ago and found it VERY strong. Use at 1-2% to start and go from there as different people have different tastes. Vapers either love or hate it but they all agree it's very strong.

I too have Perique tobacco . It was very strong , but also eas 18 mg . which was really too much for me . So I added some PG/VG 0 nic. @ 50 % . I also added a little vanilla . Now it is very good , and not so strong . So take the earlier advice , and start out with 1 or 2 % flavor , and go from there till you like the taste . Whatever % works for you , is the right one to use . There are no set rules on DIY juices .

hello fluidline,I am a relative newbie too.
Think of it like this...1% is 1 drop in 100..20% is 20 drops in that same 100...100% percent being your cart or beaker or jar or anything.I hope this helps.

I suggest you make two small batches, one at 2%, the other at 4%. Let them steep for at least a week, preferably in a warm place, then compare them to see which tastes best.

I like mine at 5% or more.

Here are a few things I have learned from DIY in the past few months:

Tobacco flavors are VERY STRONG!
I usually mix in 5ml batches. I only use 2 drops per 5ml. If I mixed a 10ml batch there are some tobaccos I would use only 3 drops because they are still slightly strong at 2 drops per 5ml. Tobacco flavors NEED to steep for a week after mixing. Tobacco flavors are the big culprits in people complaining about chemical/perfume taste in their juices. The juices just need to age for awhile.

I am using Flavor Art tobacco flavorings. I use them as bought, and undiluted, when I am talking about drops.

You might also consider adding 1 or 2 drops of Ethyl Maltol per 5ml to sweeten your tobacco mixes. If a mix has just tobacco flavorings it will tend to be harsh with a very sharp edge. Ethyl Maltol or some other sweetener will help take this edge off and reduce the harshness.

It might help if you listed what Perique Black flavoring you are using. All tobaccos from FA are very strong and suggested to start at 1%.

Thanks for the replies...I am using Flavourart

Wow! I guess mixing them at 8 to 13% makes me a freak... I find the harshness folks experience disapperas at around 6% and the bouquet really develops around 8. I have never used Perique Black though

FlavourArt at 13% - You must be using Flavor West straight up

Nope FA, give it a whirl
