Flavours like real cigarette flavours?

What Spaceballs said. Though I've moved FAR away from liking the smell of cigarettes on my clothes, in my house, etc., I'm still interested in finding the best (for me) "tobacco" liquid because I enjoy the taste.

I've found three recently that I really love, though they're not "true" cigarette tobacco tastes. Still, for me, they're great and a revelation (since I long ago gave up looking for a good tobacco and have loved Tasty Vapor's Cafe Machiatto for two years or so). Now I have ordered and reordered three new "tobacco" flavors I love, plus Boba's.

But I'm still open to trying more.

I'm NOT interested in pipe or cigar tastes.

I'm also not interested in steeping. Bought sample packs and various samples from Halo, Blue Mist, Vermillion. I know others love them. All of them, for me, had a nasty chemical undertone I couldn't get past. I've had them over a month and am letting them steep rather than discarding them. But I really don't look forward to trying them again, then thoroughly cleaning cartos so I can fill them with something else, because I STILL smell that off-putting chemical thing.

Right or wrong, those juices so turned off my taste buds that simply hearing the word "steeping" makes me move on to something else.

I AM interested, Tricci, in Want2Vape's Vapenstein Paris Blend and wonder if you've tried that? It's their only juice that isn't touted as a pipe or cigar blend. Their juices seem awfully pricey, about 30% higher than average, and I know it's all about individual taste buds, but if it's good, and unique, then it's good and unique and you pay the going rate.

Thanks.

Vapor Station Tampa is the one...

After receiving my order from VS, I would have to agree with lasttango. Tennessee and Texas are also good, but I think there is too much flavor with those to be close to a cigarette taste. The term "flavour" in your description is where the problem lies (IMO). Good pipe tobacco has flavor, and good cigars have flavor; but, cigarettes, obviously have a taste, but I would argue the prescence of a flavor, at least with american manufacturers. Even without the aspect of combustion, there are a few juices that do extremely well in the pipe/cigar department.

I think looking for a vaguely similar experience to cigarettes is more attainable. I will say it again, Tampa from Vapor Station, may be as close to the real thing as you can get in terms of experience and taste. Or, it has been the closest that I have found, though I wasn't exactly looking.

The best tobacco juices taste the way that unburnt tobacco smells. You're not going to get that burnt flavor from any juice really. You're going to have to settle on that. Menthols are a bit better, as the mint covers some of the burnt flavor in cigarettes, and the lack there of with ejuice.

Branch out. You may not like tobacco flavors and that's fine. Try some fruit flavors, some coffee flavors. Whatever looks interesting. You won't know what you like until you find it. I love tobacco flavors, but not because they taste like cigarettes; they don't. It's a very unique flavor that I can't quite place, but I love. I rather enjoy several fruit flavors as well.

Good, solid advice. Tobacco flavors are a flavor family, and once the cigarette equivalency chase has dissipated, a wonderful set of options becomes available that is truly unique and unlike any other "flavors" in the non-vaping world!

I suppose if drinking three glasses of goat urine provided me with this pleasant feeling I'd be starting a goat urine cult. If it weren't for the buzz I'd probably notice that hard liquor tastes rather like refined bug spray.

8-o! You're drinking the wrong hard liquors! :lol:

I highly recommend NiteLiteVapor's Twilite for a straight-up tobacco flavor. NLV's Litehouse is supposed to be an even more robust, "plain jane" tobacco, although I haven't tried it yet. http://nitelitevapor.net

And Robert ("What? Me Worry?" :D), the good news with NLV's juices is that you don't have to let them steep! (Trust me, I'd know, because I'm the Steep Nazi and even I don't have to let NLV juice steep! :))

I stated with Desert Ship from DeKang and thought it tasted pretty much like a cig.
I have since moved away from analog tasting juices.
However, I took my son to a new vapor store in Round Rock, TX to look for a tobacco taste. They have a blend called "6th Steet" that tastes so much like a cig, I had to wash my mouth out with water. He chose that and one called Red Rum.
The store is call All About Vapor and they mix special blends for me. My new all day vape is Primo which has a great TH and a very subtle buttery vanilla flavor. I also always carry their Chocolate Mocha which they mix a little stronger (flavoring wise) for me. The people have some extremely good juices and sponsor the Central Texas Vapors Club.

My wife's fave is English Toffee and Heath Bar.

Good folks and good prices. Service is top notch.

I have no affiliation with the store except as a very happy customer.

Vape long and prosper.

These all look very intriguing. The "Fresh opened pack" smell is characteristic of almost all the tobacco flavors I love, to be honest. Not much burnt taste, aside from the flavors that have a bit of an ash-tray or smokey aroma within.

Might test out of some NLV's flavors, but have been itching to try AVE. :p

EDIT: How many of the vendors mentioned use all glass bottles? I only buy from sellers of juice with plastic bottles when they're quality LDPE and in smaller containers.

EDIT 2: Placed a pretty decent sized order, man, am I so excited to try out the Litehouse and Twilite. Heck, I'm excited to try out every one of them.
