Ok tobacco vapers I would like to gather some info on the tobacco flavors. Myself I feel that some of these have the same tobacco base in them. Would like to get a list of what tobacco you think are very similar to each other. That way some of us arent wasting money buying a flavor that we have a variation of. Opinions due vary from others but lets try to keep it simple. I would ask is Dunhill taste anything like the other flavors? How does the Cigar taste? What about the Churchhill? These are flavors I am very much interested in but like the other company I shall not name some of them were very similar and I kinda felt let down. Would love to hear opinions on the tobacco flavors.

I have tried almost all the tobacco types from ecigexpress tobaccoexpress and they all seme to have as you say the same base just diff amount. I get the feeling these tobacco flavors are really far away from what i "remember" as tobacco and i have a hard time finding a "smokey tobacco" taste like i was used too. And describing the taste that is in all these are also really hard. Kinda tastes like red whine and grinded rose petals. Atleast not "tobacco" but maybe thats what tobacco is suppose to taste like without all the other 3999 parts in an analouge.

I'm not loyal to anyone, I love vape, both sweet and tobacco, I've been DIY for over a year, I love additives & I don't mind colourings.

I hope that I'm welcome to stick around?!?

Regarding HOL, I don't have any connections to 'em other that I love their products. I used to mix many different tobaccos and I still do, right now I vape Hungsen RY4 & I have ordered Signatures RY4 Double which I anticipate with great expectations. It's just that I have given up on "real" tobaccos since I've tried HOL, tho I still mix candy'ish/pie'ish RY4's!

..and if you looking for a "smokey tobacco" taste like i was used too. then HOL is your answer..

If you ever hit it, please let me know!

I have some cigar types i havent fully explored from Vapingzone. First try i went with reccomended and it was sickening strong taste. Will dillute and try again.

I will have to try that, if its not avaiable as essence only i cant import it tho.

And the closest ive been yet, has been Turkish Tobacco from Wicked red label series. Its not even simmilar in taste to any other turkish i have. That all tastes that "same stuff".

Have you happened to try playing with Guaiacol or Black Sesame for smokiness? I don't yet have the former which I've heard good things about, but I'll be experimenting with the latter possibly tonight.

I have used Guaiacol and I was thinking about this earlier while reading here. It does work very well for creating that smokey flavor. However, it is not quite the same "smoky" flavor that we get from a cig. It is my opinion that unless you actually burn some tobacco, you are not going to get that type of smoky flavor :)

DL, I have tried and like the Black and Mild from VZ. I think that Sd tried the Black Mile from TE and concluded it is not exactly the same as Black and Mild.

I was just thinking about this and to me the Guaiacol is like inhaling the smoke when you are sitting around a campfire if that makes any sense. Like a smoky wood flavor.

LOL It is the same. I just tried it the first day after mixing...not recomended. :) I let the stuff sit for a week and wola....just like a liquid from another vendor. The first day or two the chocolate notes/and vanilla are more prominent. Do I like it...yes....however, for me this one is a steeper of at least two weeks.

That makes sense because what I mixed and sent to you of the VZ B&M would have been steeping about a week and a half before you got it.

Exactly! You remember how I raved about it. The same with the ecx black n mild. I just jumped the gun too fast with judging it. I won't do that again.

I cannot wait to get that tobacco additive:) Real cig

BTW I cannot stop using my IKV cannon atty. I tried going back to the dual coils. What has happened to me? Nothing taste good anymore in the cartos. LOL must me a vaping phase I am going though. Hopefully, if the atty ever burns out I will be forced to buy more attys or go back to the DC's.

I feel like the flavor is muted in the Cannon compared to my DCs. I think that is why Pokey said we would need to adjust the flavors while using it. I get a warmer (of course) vape and more flavor from my DCs. I bet that I would like an LR version of it better. Typically I get warmer and more flavor from lower ohms.

Oh, and I learned long ago never to form an opinion on a flavor before at least a week steep. I used FA exclusively when i first started vaping and they take steep time to reach full potential.
