Do you find that tobacco flavors actually taste like tobacco?

[thomas.egnoto]

I vape tobacco flavors almost exclusively so far. The thing is, when I really think about it, I don't think any of them actually taste like tobacco. I like tobacco juices, but they usually taste like vanilla, or caramel, or some other kind of sweet nutty plant to me.

On the flip side, if you ask me to describe what tobacco smoke tastes like.. I don't think I'd know what to tell you. Cigs always smell like raisins to me before they're lit, but as I smoking them... They just kind of taste like... Smoke? I'm not sure I'd even want a vape that tasted exactly like cigs, but I'm curious as to how things like graham and nuttiness and caramel came to be considered "tobacco" flavors.

They are more pipe and cigar tobacco flavors, not cigs. Chocolate, nutty, leathery, bourbonesque, these are backend flavors of cigars and pipe tobacco.

This is a good question. From what I've read you rely need to be using natural bacco extract to come close and even then more like pipe bacco.

I inquired a lot early on when I was frustrated that I couldn't find a tobacco that's tasted like cigg's
Mainly told over and over you cant replicate burning tobacco because there is no burning in vapor
However I felt pretty satisfied with halo Tribeca at the time

with that experience I searched for additional flavs. I feel like sweet Flavs that are not tobacco
don't scratch the same itch. That's not to say I don't enjoy other flav's but and more so early on,
need that extra from time to time throughout the day

Now Ive seen recently review of some flav's that are supposed to taste just like a cigg
but I am not as interested as before

Check out the Natural Tobaccos thread for the stuff that actually tastes like tobacco.

GoodEJuice "Patriot" (NET) is the closest thing that I have found to a plain natural tobacco/cigarette...

Patriot Tobacco eJuice [GJLIQPAT] - $4.99 :

Lots of juices are sold as "tobacco" because the vendor thinks they sell better if they list them that way, even though there's nothing "tobacco" about them. We call these TINOs (tobacco in name only).

If you order from a vendor that uses NETs, you will be much more happy with an actual tobacco taste.

 

[Gerick]

No and they all taste like maple or something sweet from the PG and VG.. Might as well
just vape sticky bun or something like it.

My favorite is black licorice but it's not cig tobacco.

 

[Gerick]

So why don't they use natural cigarette tobacco without all the crap and get rid of the sweet maple taste
or whatever it is that causes the sweet taste.

Can't be that hard to do..or is it ?

No.

I used to think that vaping had to simulate smoking almost exactly for it to work, including tobacco flavor... I was wrong. They don't taste like tobacco at all. Once I tried other flavors, I realized that vaping was going to work for me to get off cigs.

I vape strictly tobacco e-juices. They don't taste like cigarettes, but at this point (13 months off analogs) I really don't want them to taste like cigs. I much prefer the rich natural tobacco taste, sometimes mixed with other flavors. Most recently, I'm onto the NET's as well. I am trying some of these vendors:

Heather's Heavenly Vapes
Vermillion River
Ahlusion
The Vapor Chef
Good E Juice

You might have a look at some of those. The "NET's" are wonderful imo. JD

Red Dot Smoke has a REALLY tobacco flavor called Southern Tobacco. It does not taste nutty. It's the closest thing to a cigarette that I have found. It has a nice dry, non-sweet flavor. It's been my main vape for months now. Their apple pie is awesome as well.
Red Dot Smoke - Electronic Cigarettes, Solar Charging E-Cigarette Kit and Disposable E-Cigs

 

[Jazzi Mike]

While I haven't tried it, I think some juices from Ahlusion may be your best bet for tasting like actual tobacco.

I really enjoyed GoodEJuices tobacco flavors. They extract their own tobaccos in house. Really spectacular vendor. I cannot say enough good things about them. They also are very competitive with their prices.

I'm not sure if vermillion river is a true NET but it sure tastes like it is. It's my fave so far but I have more samples coming in. I got burned out on sweets and bakeries. Yea they taste good but the flavors get boring over time.

I got a 6 pack sampler of VR and instantly fell in love with ky4 and cherrywood. regular ky and applewood were great as well. I have an 60ml order arriving today.

Get a free sample of kentucky or ky4 and try it. The same tobacco flavor is used in their kentucky lineup so if you like one you will like them all. I find the smooth crisp tobacco flavor on the front and just a touch of lingering sweetness on the exhale to be a perfect combo. I vaped 4 tanks in a row of my samples. Never done that with any other vendor. But taste vary widely so getting a little free bottle is the smart way to go.

I agree, Bob. I'm vaping the plain Kentucky Premium Blend as we speak. I really want to try the KY4. I also have a small sample of K-Max at home that I haven't tried yet. JD

 

[Talyon]

So far I've found that Ave 555, and MBV 555 both taste very similar to a tobacco so does Halo Tribecca.

To be clear close is close, as I'm very glad they simulate a tobacco and don't taste like a cigarette. Uck!!!

I've found it's easier to match a pipe or cigar flavor.

lol- I'm vaping cherrywood as we speak. KY4 is not a ry4'alike. It's wonderful. Pure kentucky blend flavor with subtle undertones of very lightly sweet caramel/vanilla. People looking for a sweet ry4 will be disappointed. If you like the ky blend I can't imagine you not liking ky4.

As many have said, for true tobacco flavor (usually extracted from tobacco) stick with NETs. Lots of affordable vendors, and many have been mentioned. Here are a few more: Backwoods Brews, Mountain Oak Vapor, N-E-T.com, MyvapeJuice, Quick nic.

Also, that peppery tobacco flavor is mostly in artificial flavorings, which most places use, unless they mention NETs or TA (Tobacco Absolute). Then their is the Whole Tobacco Alkaloids (WTA) which is controversial, but helpful to those when nicotine is not enough.

My favorites are Good E Juice, Heather's heavenly Vapes, and the lab baccos of Halo.

 

[boomerdude]

It's been done. Pure Smoke from W2V or Patriot as posted earlier. There are a few more from different vendors but almost all of them are NETS.

So why don't they use natural cigarette tobacco without all the crap and get rid of the sweet maple taste
or whatever it is that causes the sweet taste.
