Could someone make me a custom e-liquid flavor to match a Blu flavor?

[jcarruth]

I have a lot of leftover Blu tanks, and would like to refill them, but as you know, Blu doesn't sell their line of flavors as e-liquids. I really love the Carolina Bold flavor, and would consider hiring someone to replicate this flavor in an e-liquid, if possible. Does anyone know of a company or individual who offers this type of service?

Why don't I just buy more tanks from Blu? They're quite expensive. If I can get enough e-liquid this way (buying in bulk) at a good price, I don't have to buy tanks anymore from Blu, and save some money in the process.

Carolina Bold is a heavy, cigar-like tobacco flavor, with no trace of the sweetness you find in most e-liquids. It even "stinks" like a good cigar, if you know what I mean. I've read many recommendations on this forum for tobacco and tobacco-like flavors, tried some of them, and have even gone into vaping stores to sample their line of tobacco flavors, which ends up tasting mostly sweet because of the glycerin content. But no success in finding a real tobacco flavor, and nothing close to Carolina Bold, no matter what name they give it.

Carolina Bold is my favorite, so if someone knows of an e-juice that is an exact match, or someone who can make something up for me that is an exact match, I would be interested in talking price with them. It's got to be an exact match, though. Nothing close, because close won't work for me.

Recommendations? (other than give up trying). Oh, and I want it to be diacetyl and diketone free (of course!).

Thanks.

this might be worth a try if you don't want to make it your self

I know Johnson Creek does (or used to do) their eliquid flavors. Maybe try here:

Have you already checked the Johnson Creek site? They are the makers of Blu - below is a link to their tobacco page. Or perhaps someone in their customer service dept can tell you if what you are looking for is available.

EDIT -- oops, I see I was posting at the same time as ckquatt! Hope one of these links above will help you!

I think it's wonderful that someone would want to imitate Blu.

 

[jcarruth]

Thomas,

It looks a mix and match from their already existing flavors, not a custom match to the flavor I want. Thanks anyway.

Nanny and ckquatt,

There's nothing on their site to indicate that they do this, but I put in a contact us request just the same, to make sure. Maybe they can recommend someone or some company who will do this for me. Thank you for the idea.

Nermal,

From your comment, I take it you are not a Blu fan. Fair enough. There are things about the company I despise as well. That said, have you tried Carolina Bold, and if so, have you found an e-juice flavor anywhere near as good, or if you don't think it's good, one that comes close that I might try?

Thanks.

 

[Nermal]

You take it correctly. I tried one Blu, and it was not good. I've been using unflavored for around two years.

They do. Or did anyway.

What is an unflavored? I am not familiar with that term.

 

[Nermal]

In my case it is 70%pg/30%vg in 36mg/ml. Just for what it's worth, unflavored is not quite flavorless, but the taste is hard to describe. Obviously, I haven't gotten tired of it, and the wicks and coils seem to last forever. Also, it has a much better shelf life than any flavored mix I've ever tried.

I'm not going to read the reviews of all the flavors on Johnson Creek website, however
a simple check and the reviews on this juice called Domestic, there are several saying
that it tastes like the Blu's. JC at one time anyway did make the juice for Blu.

mcol,

Thanks for the tip. I will check it out. I like Johnson Creek very much. I have a feeling their Domestic matches Blu's regular tobacco flavor. Carolina Bold is quite different from that, but still worth looking into.

Ok the point though is to read through the reviews on all the flavors and see if one
has a review that says it matches your Carolina Bold.

I started with blu ecigs. I then used johnson creek for a while after someone suggested them for the same exact reason the op did. Domestic tastes nothing like blu. It tastes like alcohol. However, their red oak Tennessee cured is awesome and is what i vaped for a while

 

[jcarruth]

mcol,

Will do. Last time I checked they didn't have anything close to Carolina Bold, but maybe they've added something new since then. Worth a look.

Finding a close match to your favorite tobacco flavor is a nightmarish process , took me years . It's probably out there but there are just so many it's just an endless trial and error process.

Many people settle on "NETS" (naturally extracted tobaccos) because according to them it is the closest to a real cig flavor , but what NET is the question , the nightmare never ends.

FWIW Johnson Creek stopped providing Blu with eliquid in mid 2014, after Republic Tobacco bought 50 % of Johnson Creek. Blu is owned by Imperial Tobacco. So Johnson Creek has absolutely nothing to do with the Carolina Bold flavor which was introduced early this year.
