You will probably never find a flavor like Camel Lights, which is what I smoked.
Heck, it isn't easy to even find any flavor that tastes like burning tobacco leaves with 4000 chemicals.

We are, after all, not burning anything at all anymore.


Having said all that, I have actually found some juice that sort of tastes like tobacco.
The High Voltage (HV) juice from NHaler, both the Kent and Viriginia taste like a strong tobacco.
And their RY4 and 555 have that same tobacco taste behind the flavor as well.

Having said that, your desire for something that tastes like whatever burning toxic fumes that you used to inhale will quite possibly disappear the first time you vape butterscotch, or maple, or whatever.

Personally, I'm very much looking forward to having a smoking experience that doesn't taste like traditional cigarettes. I've always more enjoyed the action/experience of smoking than I have the flavor. Even so....I ordered the Camel Turkish Blend at litecigusa.net for my husband, though it hasn't arrived yet so I don't know how realistic it is.

Good luck in finding the Camel Light, although it seems the "light" part is moot, since that is just dependent on the length of the analog filter. But lots of places sell a Camel copy ejuice. Turkish might do it, too.

I'm with the others. Once I really got into vaping and enjoying it, I didn't want my PV to look like an analog, nor my juice to taste like tobacco. The only tobacco flavor I have is not for my 510, but for my greensmoke. They have flu-cured flavored cartomizers that I got when ordering. It is very similar to a cigar, both in taste and hit. Even leaves my mouth tasting like I've smoked a cigar.

And to think there was a time very recently when I would have actually liked that. Huh. Some do actually like the tobacco flavors, but its not something I enjoy anymore. It is the taste I had to endure in order to get effective nicotine. But, hey, maybe there are some great ones out there. Caramel-apple, now there's a flavor I cannot get enough of these days.

I smoked Camel Lights for 10 years. I like Ruyan Camel/Tobacco/RY4 mix at 60/20/20, 24 mg. I've found it to be acceptable only in my JOYE 510.

What's cool about this is that adjusting the RY4 controls sweetness, adjusting the Tobacco controls harshness and adjusting both the Tobacco and RY4 adjusts the throat hit.

I smoked 40-60 camel lights a day for 20 years, and started vaping and looking for a camel light flavor. I ordered 30 ml of 18 mg camel from totally wicked and it is nothing like the flavor I thought I was looking for. I don't miss the taste like I thought I would. Awesome Vapors RY-4, virginia, tobacco, marlboro, and hilton have a hint of the analog flavor. They sell a sample pack 10 3-ml bottles, might be a good place to look. Now I am finding for an everyday all day vape I'm using Vanilla/mandarin blend in my carts for my 510 7 drops mandarin 2 drops vanilla. I thought I would miss the analog taste but after vaping for 2 weeks and completely off the camel lights I'm finding I don't want to be reminded of it now.

give up on finding a cigarette taste now, you will waste money in your search LOL just give in and go for watermelon, mint, cottton candy and all the fun flavors, it's my favorite part of vaping. I don't miss the cigarette taste anymore, you won't either after you find your perfect flavor!

I've found flavors to be wonderful as well. But my experience is that I have found a reasonable simulation for a real ecig. It's a misconception that it can't be found. Unfortunately the ecig doesn't look nor feel like a real cigarette. It's a JOYE 510 with megabattery and mixing juices to adjust flavor, harshness, vapor and sweetness. See here for more info:

I guess I liked smoking too much so I keep looking for that same tobacco flavor. I have tried some of the Lorann's flavor but the sweet ones may me sick. I have tried all tobacco flavored liquid. Some I like some I don't.
I recently ordered tobacco flavors to mix with unflavored liquid. I hope some of these are better. I am thinking about adding some vanilla with the tobacco to cut the harshness out of it. Has anybody done this? What did it taste like? What other flavors could be added to the tobacco to add flavor to it without making it sweet?

Caramel Apple? Where are you getting that? I want!! I want!!

I make it myself from high-nic VG juice, VG, Lorann Caramel and Lorann Apple flavors. I don't generally buy flavored e-juices, since they tend to have mostly PG, or else VG-only is more expensive. In fact, I can make my own, after I buy the flavors, for a fraction of the cost of buying them, and I know exactly what is in them. And I can play around with proportions (I like about 15% flavor). Chocolate coconut is another good one. :thumbs:

Looks like a good mix. Is that the heaven gifts/health cabin dekang juice? 'Tobacco' being the TAB?
 
Yeah, like everyone said, you won't get close to having a flavor that tastes like a cigarette due to the fact there is no actual burning. I ordered some Marlboro flavors but it isn't anywhere near the same taste. I recommend if you are looking for some new flavors, try PG specific flavors like coffee, coke, cherry, vanilla, or menthol. Trying to reproduce a cigarettes using PG is like trying reproduce the taste of ice cream with out milk. Good Luck!
 
I am thinking about adding some vanilla with the tobacco to cut the harshness out of it. Has anybody done this? What did it taste like? What other flavors could be added to the tobacco to add flavor to it without making it sweet?

Yes, my boss mixes his own tobacco flavor with vanilla, just don't get crazy with the vanilla flavor because instead of cutting down harshness you will just mask the whole flavor with vanilla. I say try putting only 15% vanilla in and if that doesn't just slowly increase the amount of vanilla to cut down on the harshness.
