Hey! VCT is one of my fav liquids and it would be great to have a clone. Unfortunately, I don't have this type of tobacco.... Do you any other would fit good instead. When I smell VCT, it's tobacco smells similar to Turkish tpa...
Animgiant I'm pretty sure original VCT has meringue in it (instead of marshmallow). I feel a sticky-milky-textured sweetness as middle note, and it really tastes like meringue. It won't be strange.
Try with FA Meringue.
I don't know about the tobacco. I don't know which 'elegant' good tobaccos were available in 2014. Anyway, i'd stay away from anything spicy or musty/wet.
Nowadays, i'd use FLV Connecticut Shade or.. i don't know. Someone should investigate this. I feel like a little bit of ash too. Anyway, it's super-low, and it's a top note.
So:
-elegant
-top note
-medium-bright
What about the Toasted Almond? i'm not sure if FW hazelnut or other flavors are better for a VCT clone, cause i haven't tried anything yet, but this one's a top note too (not much body), and it's blended with the tobacco.
Yeah, CAP French Vanilla / CAP vanilla custard v1 are part of the original recipe, in my opinion.
