Favorite REAL cigarette tasting carts

[dormouse]

I spotted this review of a bunch of FSUSA tobaccos - I prefer 70pg/30vg to the 50/50 he ordered

And if you buy from FSUSA don't forget the Cocoa. It really is useful if you get a too-sweet tobacco. And the smell of cocoa is one thing I remember from my fave cigs so I find the smell relaxing.

Re blank cartos - look for Boge standard resistance or get the Premium KR808D-1 (standard resistance) cartomizers at LiteCigUSA.net (the comments say they are soft-caps). You can also get a standard resistance DSE901 atty there, a drip tip

I've tried lots of tobacco flavors in the last 20 months or so, and the only one I use now is DK-TAB from Dekang.
I don't even try tobacco flavors anymore, because I think DK-TAB is pretty much perfect for me.

 

[Justy Roost]

DK-TAB is pretty awesome, I also like the 555, various coffee flavors and even the grape. You never know what you may like, as long as you're expecting what it might taste like (sweetness etc) sure.

I try to stay away from tobacco flavors since I feel it will only make quitting harder. I smoked menthols so sometimes I vape mint flavors. I have tried my friends NuPort juice but it was pretty horrible and tasted like medicine.

I chose 'Kamel' and RY4 from vaporkings thinking that the tobacco flavor would make the transition from anaolgs easier.
Though I like them, I don't recognise much tobacco taste.

I make my own tobacco flavors. I mix Nhaler's Drewbacco 1 with any of the Vapor Station's tobaccos, like Texas, Tampa or Phoenix, in varying proportions. The resulting flavors are subtle, not too sweet and totally enjoyable.

I'm going to try that. What's the difference between Drewbacco 1 and 2?

I'm going to try that. What's the difference between Drewbacco 1 and 2?

They are very similar, but I find the 1 to be a better mixer; maybe it's just a bit more neutral. You can buy a small bottle of each. D1 is golden and mixes great with every tobacco I ever tried.

Let me know what you think!

 

[swedishfish]

I will! I have to order juice from nhaler anyway. What's best at VS? I was going to order Tampa.

 

[Katya]

I like Tampa, Texas and Phoenix, probably in that order. Some people love Frisco, that's VS version of the 555 but with hazelnut rather than peanut flavor. It's a bit too intense for me, but I like very mild flavors nowadays, no sugars, no colorings. The plainer the better.

Thanks again everyone for the suggestions. I think an order from FSUSA and Vapor Station are next...

Just wanted to update my findings on the tobacco flavors I've tried

Juices I've tried:
V4L: All WOW tobacco flavors (got the sampler)
FSUSA PureCig
FSUSA Camtel
FSUSA Desert Ship
FSUSA Max/Boro
Vapor Station Tampa
Vapor Station Texas
Vapor Station Phoenix
Backwoods Brew Backo
Halo Freedom
Halo Tribeca
Halo Torque56
Halo Prime15
V2 Cowboy (Red)

So far, of these juices/carts, I gotta say Vapor Station Tampa and Texas are my favorite for an "analog" replacement (although quite subtle in flavor so I am going to try Katya's suggestion of mixing nHaler's Drewbacco 1).

Worth noting for overall flavor (although not as close to an analog for me) is VS Phoenix, Halo Tribeca (slowly becoming a favorite), Halo Prime15 (not in production yet but very good), Halo Torque56, V4L Wowboy. These are all good juices just not going to get you close to "analog"

Unfortunately I cannot recommend any FSUSA juices, there's a base or something in all the juices I just don't like.

Thanks for the suggestions guys and to all you newbies (I still consider myself one), keep searching and if there's one thing I could suggest... BUY SAMPLE SIZES no matter what reviews you read Unfortunately I have juices (and $) that will soon be going to the PIF thread.

Definitely try ry4. Closest taste that I've found for a cig!

I've only tried their Wyatt Earp and RY4, but both have a strong taste of jalapeno as far as I'm concerned.
And I've tried Halo Freedom, Smooth 8, and Torque 56, and all three of them had some degree of ginger flavor.

I'd be interested to see what you thought of my favorite, which is the Dekang DK-TAB.
As I mentioned earlier, I stopped looking for a tobacco flavor once I found that.

 

[AJ1]

I actually got a DK-Tab 50/50 mix from a PIF. About to load up a cart but all I have left are V4Ls cool carts which I'm not fond of... waiting on more carts in the mail

 

[subversive]

Nvm, didn't see OP's post about the FSUSA flavors he has tried.

 

[Cigarman]

...And don't forget to let your nose have some of the vapor. But Marlboros and most cigs in real form have honey or sugar, cocoa, licorice in them. You'll find those in a lot of tobacco juices too. I recommend you get some FreedomSmokeUSA Cocoa premixed juice in a high-PG and your nicotine level. When a tobacco juice is too sweet for your taste just smack it down with that cocoa. I've bought the cocoa a couple of times and it is almost bitter. It will also beef up a wimpy tobacco.

This is a great tip about the cocoa! I have several cigar flavors that are too sweet and/or need more kick, I hope this works! I ordered the Cocoa, Cuban Supreme, Switchblade Specialty and the Wyatt Earp Signature Cowboy. As always, searching for that perfect cigar/tobacco taste. Thanks for the idea.

DC2 - just loaded up a Cool Carts with the DK-Tab, I actually like this stuff! The mg is higher than anything I've tried (16mg) as I usually am in the 8-12mg range so after a few puffs I got light headed but wow... it's got a non-obtrusive flavor and there's no real detectable sweetness that to me ruins most "tobacco" juices. I think I may need to pick up a bottle. I'll prob experiment mixing a few drops in a cart loaded with VS Tampa or Texas because there's still something about both those juices that I like. Thanks for the suggestion! Any vendor you recommend picking this up from?

Eli Huffman - Although I haven't tried a "labeled" RY4 some of the juices I have tried are suppose to be similar (Halo Tribeca) and I do like those, although a tad on the sweet side for me for a tobacco. Any vendors you prefer?

Since DK-TAB is a Dekang (China) juice, you can get it from a lot of places that don't make their own juice.

I usually get mine from Valley Vapor, but they only sell 10ml bottles.
But the price is only $5.00 for 10ml and the shipping is extremely reasonable.

I just bought 3 10ml bottles and one 10ml of Dekang RY4 and the shipping was less than $3.00 total.

Also, Madvapes, when they have it in stock, sells a 50ml bottle for around $12.00 but I don't know the shipping charges.
I've also heard that Liberty Flights and LiteCigUSA sell them, but they are not labled as DK-TAB so I'm not completely sure on that.

I've heard the Dark Tobacco at LiteCigUSA is the DK-TAB though, for whatever that's worth.
