Normally I can taste the difference in all my juices but I have been through periods where my taste buds were out of whack and all my juices tasted the same (bad). It only lasted a few days both times. But also, I can always taste a little of the sameness in all of them that comes from the pg, vg, nic, and tobacco flavoring if present. You might want to try a few small bottles of different juices to find what you like. I just received an order from these folks and I'm liking what I've tried so far and prices are good.

I have dozens of different tobacco flavors. There are about half a dozen different groups. It gets really complicated from there, but you just have to read through reviews and order from different suppliers until you find what you like. I have about 500ml of tobaccos that I will only vape when the zombie apocalypse comes due to lack of ability to order my favorites.

I have tried three different flavors so far and they all taste the same. It is just me?

Where'd you get it - what flavors? I think many of the halo based tobacco flavors taste very similar. Most tobacco flavors are a tobacco absolute to start, then various other flavors added - chocolate will get you a 'hilton' or 'camel'. Vanilla 'marlboro' and 'kent', some almond or cherry for 'flu cured', peanuts for '555', etc. etc. So the base is usually the same.

BTW - if you don't smell the vapor a lot more will taste the same. Cigarettes bathe you in smoke so you can't help smell them. Ecigs don't do that - you have to let your nose have some of the vapor. Your tongue can only sense 5 things - sweet, bitter, sour, salty and umami (msg) and if there are none of those in a tobacco juice then aroma will be your main sense of flavor.

Some distinctive tobaccos
Applewood - an apple-y woody tobacco
555 - a nutty tobacco
RY4 - a caramel vanilla tobacco (some are sweet and some are not)
Desert Ship - a Turkish blend - pungent and a bit nutty (my fave analog-alike) Camel is similar but may be spicy too

if you are buying the Chinese juices, I don't think you will get as much difference between flavors. If you areusing extremely high nicotine, the peppery burn of the nicotine may make it harder to distinguish tobaccos. If you are vaping VG juices, they dull flavor.

I should have included this with my post. Here are 5 tobacco flavors that do not taste anything like each other to me:

  • FSUSA - PureCig - Very dry and smokey.
  • Gourmet Vapor - Latakia tobacco - very dark and bitter (make up a blend with maybe 10% vanilla or honey).
  • Good Prophets - 100% VG Blended TAB - mildly sweet, earthy, and nutty, mellow tobacco (not weak).
  • Want2Vape - Red Pirate - Authentic tobacco taste. Like how a cigarette smells without lighting it.
  • My Freedom Smokes - RY3 - Sweet Virginia tasting tobacco with a little maple/caramel/honey-ish taste. RY2 - more tobacco.

These are just 5 random picks from what is sitting in front of me. Everybody has their differing tastes, but neither of these taste like the other to me.

Hey Freak is that good prophets tab similar to the PG dk-tab?
