I've tried the cola flavor from both Puresmoker and TW and they taste very similar. I think our taste buds are different though, because both taste just like the soda to me!


therein lies my fear of buying it... cola seems to be the only flavor out there where the love/hate factor is actually at about 50%

there are just as many people who HATE it as there are that LOVE it.. and there seems to not be of an in between factor

I've got the 24 mg TW cola and I find both the throat hit and vapour very weak. Mind you, after getting decent throat hit and vapour from intellicig carts for the first 2 weeks, I'm finding everything a bit on the weak side so it might be down to the vaporiser. I've ordered the 36 mg TW menthol as from what I've read if I don't get any joy from that then e-cigs are not for me.

lol if you don't end up cutting the TW 36mg Menthol, you need to see a doctor about numbness in your throat. It's strong stuff! I now have the TW Menthol in 24mg, and I still have to cut it... and I almost use their 36mg stuff exclusively.

I hope you're right Walrus. If I suck any harder on this thing the cart will shoot down my throat. :(

i have had a weird experience with the pure smoker cola flavor, the first time i ordered it the tatse was awesome and i loved it. so i ordered a a 50ml bottle so i wouldn't have to order it again for awhile and worry about it being out of stock. this must have been from a different batch or something because it was a darker color and the taste is very harsh and has a somewhat peppery taste very little cola flavor at all :(

I wasn't a fan of cash cola either - it tasted floral to me. Not very cola-y at all. It's in the back of the stash as a back up. I'd vape it if I had nothing else, but it's not something I'd reach for regularly.

I wish we had a swap area where we could swap out juices we tried but didn't care for! Of course, it would take some trust that you were getting pure stuff that wasn't tainted, but we could rate each other and build up feedback like on eBay to see who to trust and who to not swap with.

So far I've tried Puresmoker's Coca Cola and VaporNine's Pepsi. While neither make me gag, neither satisfies me either. The flavors are weak, and neither is very 'cola'-like to my taste buds.

I haven't tried Totally Wicked's, and I'm a big fan of theirs... I just don't want to be out another $30 for something I don't like.

Well I am so glad I found your post I too am trying to Value Enhance my Pepsi Challenge but think I will leave out the Cola Wars :D

I am in search of my first juice kit and while I have only tried the Cola from a Vapor King disposable cart its nice to know I dont need to waste my time trying other brands.

I was trying to think of how to describe the taste and I think best described for me its like when you drink a Coke thats watered down and flat you know that backwash sip UGG yup I went there :oops:

Anyways I found that JC sampler kit I want to try and Cola is not one of the flavors in it so think I will be ok HEHE.

Here you go Walrus... maybe you can 'doctor' up the cola with some cola flavoring? ;)
Nature's Flavors : Cola Flavor Extract (Kosher, Vegan, Gluten-Free) Excellent for baking, ice cream, coffee syrups and in beverage applications!

I'm not even a soda drinker.. so big surprise when cola wasn't for me! :)

I might have to try that one. It's the first one I've seen that didn't have corn syrup in it.

Who am I kidding? The order is as good as placed.

Be sure and give us a report on if it fixes the cola! Seems like there are so many that complain about the colas tasting weak. I know I won't be trying any extra flavoring to fix my cola... I just don't like drinking it... OR vaping it! :rolleyes:

I also purchased a few other flavors that I had been avoiding due to ingredients such as oils, sugars, etc. All of theirs appear to only have water, ethyl alcohol, and natural flavors.

I picked up:

8oz Cola
8oz Cherry
8oz Orange
8oz Vanilla Cream

We'll see how it goes :) They do take a long time to ship though... they say 10days-2 weeks. Shipping wasn't cheap either.

My total came to $55.29. $11.29 was shipping charges.

The flavors you got sound YUMMY!! :p Can't wait to hear what you 'cook up' with those! I haven't tried any of their flavors, and was curious if they are as concentrated as the Lorann flavors. They do have so many additional flavors that sound okay to use... I still want to try some eventually! Will be watching to see what you think of these! :)

I don't think they are as concentrated. We shall see :)

I posted this in the "Cola liquid recommendations" thread, but figured that I would post it here too since it was relevant:

Pepsi and Coke are two different flavors from what I've read, and there are a few places that stock both, eliquidplanet.com is one of them, and they have a ton of other flavors as well. I've also seen a couple of the main chinese distributors selling both pepsi and coke flavors, so I'm almost certain that they are different.

I don't think that a cola extract is going to give you a coke or pepsi taste though, because neither of those sodas are actually flavored with cola, in fact, most cola beverages haven't been flavored with cola in decades.
