Opps, my bad. I guess the volt standard is some kind of prefilled carto deal? I think clove is hard to find period much less in a prefilled carto. I ran into a guy who did every clove he could get his hands on and his advice was what I previously suggested. Never thought id recommend PS but in this case.........

I am vaping Heavenly Clove right now from Gourmet Vapor.
I have a selection of Clove flavors from quite a few different vendors. They are all good flavors.
Really? All of them? I have just herd alot of, "cant find a good clove" from peeps...... But I dont really seek out clove flavs personally.....

Try vape dudes. I'm not a huge fan of clove, but ordered some for a friend who is. He liked it well enough. I tried it using a volt carto on an X2 battery, and it was definitely clove, no ham. Vape dudes has a sampler option, so you might be best trying an assortment -- they have a few different clove flavors (clove, clove light, for two). If you've never ordered from them before, don't forget to use "vapedudes" coupon code for 40% off.

I smoked Djarum Specials and Sampoerna A Milds exclusively for about 5 years, before the importation of clove cigarettes was banned, and I switched to Camel Turkish Gold 100s and Camel No. 9's...

Anyway, I'm a bit of a clove connoisseur, and one of the first things I did when I started vaping was look for a good clove e-liquid.

There are some good ones out there, but I have yet to find a liquid that actually comes anywhere close to a real clove. The search for "good clove juice" is a difficult path, fraught with disappointment, frustration, and lots of half-vaped sample bottles of juice.

However, I DID come up with a pretty good approximation. It's not a true DIY--it's a mixture of other vendor's juices--but I've had several tobacco-flavor fanatics tell me that it's "spot on" for a real clove ciggy...

50% Johnsons Creek "Marcado" 18mg
30% VaporKings "Djarum Black" 18mg
20% Pink Spot "American Tobacco" 24mg
and a few drops (to taste) of your sweetener of choice (I use stevia liquid)

Let it steep for about a week or two, and shake the heck out of it every day.

This will give you decent vapor, a surprisingly "real" throat hit, with all the flavors you are looking for in a clove vape. You get the sweet clove/cinnamon notes up front from the Johnson Creek, the dark tobacco and warm clove flavor and sensation from the VaporKings juice, and the throat-hit and nic hit from the 24mg Pink Spot tobacco flavor.

This juice is good in atties with a cartridge, but it really shines in a standard carto. I haven't tried it in a dual coil or LR carto or in any kind of tank. I've vaped it all up and down the voltage and wattage range on my AcryliMax, and it is pretty goo no matter where you vape it, but it DOES get kin of harsh if you get up in the high voltage/wattage ranges--sort of like power-smoking a real clove cig.

Try this recipe, and let me know what you think! I like it, and I've got 10mls of it in my "travel kit" and another 10ml constantly steeping, in rotation. Not an "all day vape", but it's nice for clubbing, or after a spicy meal of Indian or Thai food, or on a chilly fall day.

If you don't want to go to the trouble of mixing your own, then get the Johnson Creek Marcado. It is a VERY smooth, slightly sweet, clove e-liquid, and is very satisfying by itself...

Just to be clear, by no means am I talking about ham flavor. Im talking about clove spice from a cloved ham vs a clove cig.

They dont have to be Prefilled carto. If i can find it in E-juice. I have a clearomizer.

I would NOT recommend putting ANY clove e-liquid into a clearomizer or plastic tank. Clove flavorings are one of those flavorings that are known for cracking the plastics use in tanks like the Vivi Nova and plastic clearo's.

If you are going to vape clove liquids, get some regular old metal tube cartos, or a small glass tank of some sort, or you will almost certainly end up with damaged gear.

The Djarum Blacks and Sampoerna is what I smoked after dinner, lunch, ect. The normal was camel lights.

Thanks i will have to give some a try. No problem on the cartos, I can go that route too.
I just missed smoking a clove cig every now and then.

Heh. Ya, sorry. I was being a bit facetious -- doesn't always come off in text.
I also want to emphasize that I am NOT a clove connoiseur, but that this is a clove flavor that I tried with Volt equipment, and it did taste like clove without being overpowering. My clove smoking friend gave it a thumbs up.
Finally, with 40% off you can at least get a less risky flavor along with your order to mitigate any disappointment.

Good Luck.

I got a clove flavour in a sample pack from apollo with my ecig, it's ridiculously strong and tasting exactly like clove, ugh suggestions of a flavour I could perhaps mix it with so it's not so strong?

Any light tobacco flavor will tone down the clove flavor without making it seem weak or diluted. Camal juices seem to work well, but some Marlboro juices work too, if you're looking for a stronger throat hit. "Flavored" tobacco juices do not mix well, IMO, with most clove juices. The simpler the flavor the better...
