Just got home from the e-cig store. I also was looking for a tobacco flavor and this place lets you sample !!! To my surprise a flavor called berry bacco hit the spot. The hint of berry is so subtle you hardly taste it and it is the combination of those two flavors that makes it DAMN close to a regular cig taste. Day 2 and much happier now that I dont have to use the juice I bought online. It taste like 3 week old stale cigs.. Yuck !! Good in an emergency though.
Am I the only noob that was greatly disappointed by the tobacco flavors?

I'd rather vape my Cherries and Chocolate!! I can't even stand the Cherry Cigar I started with.. Blah!!!
Just tried some again today... still nasty. Ordered Vanilla, Cherry, and Mocha just cuz.
Need to find one or two i like and order big bottles... otherwise I may end up keeping the USPS out of bankruptcy single handed lol

I ordered a tobacco from ECB, before reading some opinions that their tobacco flavors leave much to be desire. That carto went in the garbage after one taste. I haven't tried other blends from elsewhere but don't really intend to as I'm liking the sweeter flavors much better anyways.
I've been searching for the perfect tobacco vape too. Some are quite good. Some are freaking horrible! I've tried fruit and bakery flavors. Some are disappointing and actually rather disgusting.
Some are ok. I've been making progress in my DIY efforts lately. I never smoked a cigar or pipe, but I've been rockin' on one called "French Pipe" and another called "Honey Flue Cured" and a few others, yay!
but still keep trying new juices from ECF vendors!^^^ What juicejunky said!
Wow what a visual! I never thought of licking an ashtray...but now that you mention it, ....nah, I'll take your word for it
sounds like one I have NOT tried yet,
hmmmmAgreed. I take each flavor that I have, make a 2nd bottle, and then add menthol or other flavors just because I can! yum
Exactly! Some make me nauseous or make me sneeze, cough etc. This quest to find better and better flavors is enough to make a gal crazzy
Tastebeds change daily! Yes some juices are best a month later, so don't throw any out....well, maybe I threw out a few after waiting 6 months....
I'm just tasting everything I can lay my hands on atm
As for the tabacco flavors, I only use them to give my fruit flavors a bit more body, 1:2 tabacco-apple seems to be my favorite for now. But there is so much more still to discover!
Blowing through my paychecks has never been quite like this journey of vaping! Will the discoveries ever end?8-o
You and me both kiddo! Vape on and live longer
I received my ecig starter kit yesterday and along with it came 10 "tobacco flavoured" refills. It tasted vile, nothing like tobacco, I was questioning already whether I should give up on it. However, I had ordered three tobacco juices from Vapemate (dist. for Flavour Crafters) and what I've tried I have liked a great deal. These flavours are largely based on leading Canadian cigarette brands. So, the ecig is a keeper.
The only tobacco flavor I vape is RY4 and I'm satisfied with it.
My Blend RWhy4 that is posted under the DIY Recipe section might be of interest. The reason I say this is because I've found that it actually gives you a tobacco taste in the back of the throat ... similar to that of a cigar/chew/snuf.
Really impressed with that simple recipe personally. A good mildly sweet tobacco with a splash of caramel and a hint of cream at the back of the tongue. The more you vape it, the better it gets and like I said, the tobacco flavor that you get over time in the throat is really nice.

There's a lot of great advice here, from staying away from tobacco flavors to mixing to changing your expectations of what tobacco should taste like. I won't reiterate the "you'll never find..." just because I think everyone, once it's been stated, can understand how true that is. However, if you're dead set on finding a tobacco flavor, just keep trying as many as you can. There are plenty of vendors with small sample sized bottles, and even some with free samples.
I lucked out early on in my search for tobacco flavors with a few juices that I still really enjoy. Goodejuice Acadian Gold, Wild Turkey, and GJ4 I found to be quite good. Others have mentioned BWB Casablanca and, my current favorites, the Vermillion River Kentucky Premiums. Just don't give up. Keep in mind that there's not a whole lot of difference between brand/flavors when it comes to analogs, and you've just opened the door on a whole new world of flavor that comes with vaping. Try anything that strikes your fancy, you just might like it.

Personally I prefer tobacco flavors over all other flavors for aroma. I don't want to inhale something that tastes and smells like a cheesecake, for that I'll just eat a piece of cheesecake. Taste is subjective and does change as you switch. I used to smoke a pack of Maverick red 100's a day, and now when my missus fires up her lights I can smell them all the way upstairs and gag, on the other hand on occasion when she opens a fresh pack I ask her to let me smell them. when my friends ask about tobacco flavors I tend to tell them to search for that "fresh" tobacco smell, because that is what it will essentially taste like. Even that perfume smell and taste can be found in certain brands of cigarettes (Basic, pyramids, and many bottom shelf brands.). I've even ran into brands of cigarettes that have that have that burnt vegetable aroma and flavor (Montego, Pall Mall.) The thing to remember is that juices are crafted for the most part with the opinion and preference of the crafter in mind. And it's pretty safe to assume that most crafters were analog smokers before they made the magnificent switch. So the flavors may be what they preference. It's like choosing tea or coffee, some like bitter, some like bold.
The v2 congress was really gross to me at first but then it became so good to me that now I can't wait till I can afford a bottle of the stuff, it's kinda peppery. I like one called ry4 double from Canada ejuice a lot! Apparently it's like Tribbecca from halo but I haven had that one...yet. All the others I've tried (I've only tried 10 in total) gross me out eventually but the ry4 double and the congress give me that super satisfying flavor and relief. Better than cigarettes.
I had a really hard time in the beginning. I wanted a tobacco but was thinking about it all wrong. I like you was trying to duplicate a cigarette. Well just like you I found this to be pretty impossible.
Then I found fruit and dessert vapes. While I liked the flavor it was way too sweet for me to vape for too long of a time.
I decided to try some sweet tobaccos and that's when I found Bobas Bounty. Finally a tobacco that had a slight sweetness to it.
I find a couple of flavors here and there that I really like but I'm really picky. I got really caught up in the way I thought something was going to taste and was often disappointed when it tasted different. Try not to have expectations of what a juice SHOULD taste like and judge it on how it actually tastes.
If you decide to revisit tobaccos try not to think of it as a cigarette. One thing I've noticed is that you really don't taste vapor like you do food. It's actually closer to how something smells than how it tastes. When trying a tobacco try thinking about how a cigar or pipe tobacco smells and you are able to wrap your head around flavor better.
Here are a couple tobacco vendors I have tried and love. Alien Visions carries Bobas Bounty, probably the most popular tobacco on the market. Also Heathers Heavenly Vapes has a great tobacco line. Heavenly Tobacco, Gollum, Gandalf, Shadowfax, and Pirates Booty are all great. Heathers are best when steeped for a week or two.
Hope this helps. Don't give up on tobacco vapes. You will really do yourself a disservice if you do.

Nope pilotman you're not alone....I've only been on this forum about a month but lost count of number of times I've seen this question posted! I was the same, tried quite a few tobacco flavours but they had a sickly sweet edge that made me want to puke......until Chrissie and a few others recommended Vape Escape "Black Cat". It sounds a dodgy mix of tobacco, liquorice and vanilla, but is a really nice smooth but very moreish vape!!! Try it, you won't be disappointed....
TPR Smooth from Theplumeroom.com is great, sweet and rich flavor.
Other than that, don't look for something to duplicate a cigarette 100% because you will be HIGHLY dissapointed. If you smoked store bough cigarettes then you are used to the burning, chemical infested, tobacco flavor...not the actual tobacco flavor. Now if you were a pipe smoker or rolled your own then you know what the taste of good tobacco is and you have a better chance of finding that perfect flavor. There are some really good flavors out there, most are pretty bleh though, give your tastebuds a few weeks to settle in to not being fried from the cigarette smoke and try again (also try letting them sit[or steep] for a week or so, this will help the juices to bring out their full flavor)

I always thought most of the tobacco flavors were meh. Then mr E liquid sent me a sample of rough neck. It's the most accurate straight up tobacco I've tried but it's not recreating a cigarette. It reminds me when I used to chew red man now and then in high school.
Couldn't have said it better myself, although I do like some of the menthol flavoried products but not with tobacco.
Taste is subjective to a large degree. I use unflavored, which is far from tasteless.
Yeah....The tabacco flavours just taste like the tabacco smells before burning don't they....You'd thing the makers would put a little thought into it wouldn't you. If what they do is vapourize a base liquid/tabacco mixture then condense it then common sense would dictate cooking the tabacco to the point of burning then mix it with base liquid etc.
