Best Burley concentrate and best Virginia concentrate, that's what I'm after please.

FLV red burley is good as @zouzounaki said was recommended. I mix it 3:1 with FLV kentucky blend

I would probably start with 5% chow and 0.5% dnb. It could also work with one the the absolutes + dnb. Cuban cigar, maybe. I might do this, actually.

Do it, zou! It works really well! I made a (vaguely) similar mix last week, it still needs a tweak but I'm enjoying a lot. I might try DNB, a hint of some dark fruits and ever so slightly lower the FA tobaccos in the next batch.

I went with this as a first attempt:
4% Cali Chow (M&P)
3% Cigar Passion (FA)
3% Storm (FA)
1% Cuban Cigar TA (Ina)
0.25% Black Fire (FA)

Cheers @StuPot , I have most of those.

Righto, sounds grand. I’ll get some more conc’s.

I’m tempted to go with the cuban cigar absolute and smoke and prunes, for the tobacco chow...

 

[Mr Ripple]

I've been vaping 3% cherry for pipe with 4% chow and 1% dnb and its pretty good.
The dnb is a little too much @1% imo and the Chow is a little faded in the back ground so id drop the dnb to 0.5% and also lower the tobacco in stead of increasing the Chow.

Inawera have a wee 15% off at the mo...till Sunday I think.... code is HOT........wee order in including American Dream baccy, anyone had it

I’ve no tried that one @Rickster . I have classic us bacco still to try (I mixed a seater then accidentally added other stuff to it so not puffed it solo to suss it out yet). Did you check their sale section? There’s usually some good ones in there. What else did ye get?

@andi52 the INW virginia absolute is good but solo you need to go about 6%. In a mix, 3%. It is very good, I love it but not that strong. As for burley I’ve only tried FA and INW and I’ve not even able to suss either of them out. I used to buy whole leaves of burley by the kilo and neither of them taste like it at all to me so far.

I think @Simon G recommended me red burley, maybe flavorah?

FLV red burley is good as @zouzounaki said was recommended. I mix it 3:1 with FLV kentucky blend

From my stock I've started with this as a 10ml shake and vape tester, it's promising, need to perhaps get some other Virginia. I only have a TECS FA rebrand which is called Golden Tobacco (Rolled), I'm assuming it is the FA (UK) Golden Rollie, but it could be FA Virginia, TECS don't list it anymore.

0.50% Burley (FA)
1.00% Golden Rollie (Blends) (FA UK)
1.00% Hazelnut (FW)
2.00% Maple Syrup (FA)

Flavor total: 4.5%

Trying to figure a tobacco "filler" which will add body without changing the flavour profile too much. I have both flv red burley and cured tobacco, I find them weird, sort of dusty and both taste very similar. Have shed loads of tobacco concentrates but really haven't bothered in the last 6 months because they flatter to deceive and are a pita to put together.
