DIY Smoky Blue's Winstin Tobacco ejuice recipe

#1 by OneThirtyEight, Oct 9. 2017, 00:39

This is what got my mother off of cigarettes. I cannot recommend it enough. I'd like to go into a lengthy review but I never smoked Winston's. That aside, it is a very authentic cigarette which isn't something I missed but could distinctly recognize. This was the only recipe, out of all the different variations we tried, that gave her that authentic taste and she simply stopped smoking.

I am tickled she is no longer smoking.. I am. Things like this, a simple taste, a spin of flavors in a tank or dripper, that can capture at least something worth getting into and away from smoking.
Thanks @OneThirtyEight! :)

This is a very rich, dark tobacco. Tastes good, to steal the company's slogan, like a cigarette should. The tobaccos blend well together, and the cream gives it depth. That lime wedge, I can see why you say it's key. It packs a little zing of "...what the?!?" flavor on the inhale, gives your nose hairs that little singe on the flyby, your throat a slight extra punch, and then blends into the exhale seamlessly.

So now, we get to the meat of the matter. Got my last cig here, and it's a Winston. Smells damned close to what I'm tasting on that inhale without lighting it up. Only real quibble I have is it could do with a touch of ashiness on the exhale for the added realism, but meh. That's subjective, and probably would wreck the initial flavor, which is very solid.

Good for tobacco-heads who wanna get close to an old frenemy, or just something a little different from the normal cigarette clones and arthouse tobaccos.

Straight up satisfaction. Nice one, Smoky!

It has only been 3 days, but this is an enjoyable vape. Who would have thought that lime wedge would make such a difference. It might need another day steep, but it's going to have to do it as I vape it. Thanks for sharing.

Same % for 60vg/40pg mtl setup? Or should % be increased?

#11 by SmokyBlue, Aug 31. 2019, 14:09

Do not increase the amount of flavoring, go ahead and mix your fav base. Try it and see what you think. Please post up your findings. Thanks! :)

#12 by ric67, Aug 31. 2019, 14:10

Ok thank you. Ordered the stuff to do this today. Yep ill post when done 👍

#13 by SmokyBlue, Aug 31. 2019, 15:00

Thanks ric67, I sure hope you will enjoy the recipe for a very long time. It is still my fav to turn to.

#14 by ric67, Aug 31. 2019, 15:04

Id like to think so but thinking its not quite strong enough tobacco for me. Im still beginner learner though so looking forward to being wrong

#15 by SmokyBlue, Aug 31. 2019, 15:08

Flavorah tobaccos.. everyone thinks you need 1.5% and higher.. but the secret is to start low, do your solos starting at 2 drops in 10ml, see if you can taste that. If not, new 10ml bottle and try 4 drops. Each drop is .02g or .02ml and knowing it takes 50 drops per ml, it is easy to get a recipe up to elr to share with others. you can spot those that do not know, as their mls will not be divided by 2... funny fact about flv.. less is more, and it tastes better.

Thanks again. If this goes well Im trying your new world cigar!

This Tabacco literally has my insides screaming for more! Nearly 3 years after quitting smoking cigarettes my body and mind is going through a complicated phase of withdrawal. Naturally it's also giving me an uncontrollable craving for a stronger version of this recipe. Amazing simply Amazing!!!

#18 by HVPGH, Dec 17. 2019, 21:33

This is an awesome recipe. Tastes like what the smell of a brand new pack of cigarettes smells like when you first open the pack. All of the nuances of the tobacco come through without the nasty ash-tray burnt crap. It does indeed have that distinct Winston cigarette taste!

#19 by SmokyBlue, Dec 17. 2019, 22:03

Thanks Mally and HVPGH!! :D I see a rush on flavors... I need to make more too!

I just tried this recipe, after 15 days of maceration, and I love it, I’m not good at describing flavors, but I find it very good and balanced, rough and dry, as I like it, and somewhat bitter … thanks @SmokyBlue (that yes, I made it at 40/60 pg / vg)

#21 by SmokyBlue, Jan 1. 2020, 17:14

Thanks Gus!! It is good.. do a search for my other tobaccos, you might enjoy a few more! :) Nappy New Year!

The lime just killed it for me with the suggested steep time. I enjoyed the tobaccos but the lime was just sitting on top and that prevented it from being good enough for an ADV.
I put it aside and forgot about it for about a month, tried it again and it all blended well together. There's still a hint of acidity in it but it's part of the tobacco now. I don't know how true this is to Winstin Tobacco (never smoked it) but this is a very good juice and I vaped the rest of my 30mls in one go. I will mix this again because I think the acidity adds something fresh to it.
In the colder months now, I think I'd prefer a variation with fig or some dark sweet berry blended in the tobacco but that's just personal taste. I can definitely recommend this juice as is but do yourself a favor and let it steep for 3-5 weeks. 5 days is IMO not nearly long enough.

very very nice! almost real tobacco

#24 by SmokyBlue, Apr 22. 2020, 16:38

Thank you SevaDon. It's one of my favs.. :)

hey i dont have virigina flavorah in my country how many i can use from virginia FA?

#26 by SmokyBlue, Mar 18. 2021, 23:09

I do not use FA anything.. you could ask your reseller to carry it. FLV makes the best tobaccos in the world! If you sub anything from any of my recipes, they just will not taste the same. Best I can do for ya, Horus..

#27 by WTFMF, Jun 24. 2021, 23:42

What does the cream do for tobaccos?

#28 by Tdifr62, Jan 11. 2023, 00:19

Cant find the lime wedge its out of stock, would flv lime work?

#29 by NSWS, Mar 24, 14:00

Nice one. Tastes delicious!
