I have found what I like in tobacco flavor. One would think that is just what you want, to find what you like. It is, but it is a little expensive compared to other places I've seen. I can't save money if I have to try 30 flavors to find another one I like. Maybe you all can get me pointed in the right direction. If need be I will continue to buy what I am using.

So here is sort of the description they use. Maybe someone has a suggestion of something that might be similar.

'Realistic tobacco flavor with complex and earthy nuances with a subtle splash of dry sweetness and topped off with a little cocoa.'

Maybe I should add what I don't like. I have not liked any of juices that I have tried that are supposed to taste like a Marlboro (cowboy, red box, etc.). I smoked Marlboro full flavor for 25 years and then Marlboro lights for another 20 years. None of these taste anything like a Marlboro to me.

Thank you,
JR

I vape only tobacco juices. Halo has one of the best tobacco juices (torque 56) IMHO, not to mention one of the best line of juices out there--very clean juices. You can find halo under forum suppliers.

Another juice I started vaping in the last 2 months is Dekang DK-tab--just a really nice clean tobacco juice. I get it from litecigusa.net--also under forum suppliers. It can be difficult to find authentic Dekang juices, but litecigs gets theirs directly from the dekang factory.

cheers,

Hey Capt.

Your taste seems to be similar to mine. I got tired of chasing my tail so to speak with trying to find a good fit for me. The best juice I found that fits your description and my taste is BWB Ry4. But its only available every 3 months or so. So you can't use it as an everyday vape. Which sucks because its really good. I'm in no way a fanboy of BWB. I just know what I like. Ive tried various vendors Tobacco juices from recommendations on this site. Some are OK at best, the rest are just terrible.

So I have come to the conclusion that I just need to make my own and I have started this just recently. I'm still waiting on some supplies to arrive. Ive been playing around with what I have now and Ive managed to make a little that is decent but needs to be tweaked. Do yourself a favor and start DIY, because if your like me you know what you want you will realize that finding someone that makes what you like is nearly impossible.

The only good thing about trying vendors juice is you find out what not to do and in some cases what a good juice should taste like. I believe... and this is my personal opinion. BWB has created some of the best tobacco juice out there. I only vape tobacco juice. I only want tobacco juice, that may change but I really don't think so. Some move away from tobacco juice to more fruit and cake and candy flavors. Not my thing at this point. Ive only been vaping 3 months or so and I want a good tobacco vape.

DIY is going to be a little expensive in the beginning but you will save in the long run. I have a bunch of juice sitting around in a box that goes from OK to crap. Like I said...the only good thing about buying different vendors juice is you find out what you like in a juice and what you hate in a juice. Most vendor juice is a waste of money.

Just my :2c:

You could trade some of the E-Liquids if you have some you don't like instead of throwing them away. That way they aren't going to waste and you don't have to spend more money getting something you may not like, again.. There are tons of people swapping on here. You may want to at least give it a look. Or what you can do, which I've seen on here, is find someone with similar tastes to you, in general, and see what they like vape wise. What I do is buy the smallest bottles possible at first, that way if I don't like it, it's not that much of a waste.

Hello Dave,

I am looking for juices and tabacco flavor as well. Seems that everyone recommends RY4 or similar. I just started in the PV world too. Could you please say which flavors were totally a waste or you didnt like at all? I just got 2 juices today and one of them is terrible, I am about to dump it out (Cappuccino flavor btw).

Hello CaptJR.

I like tobacco flavors too. Freedomsmokeusa has a large selection of tobacco juices. My favorites come from their "Specialty Tobacco" section. Purecig, American Spirit, and Freedom Smoke.

Some of their tobacco flavors I have tried, and don't like, are Camtel, Barley, and Wyatt Earp. 7 Leaves isn't bad, but doesn't have much flavor at all.

They do sell 3 ml samples of all their juices. And they have sampler packs of similar flavor categories.

Well....

1) Nothing will taste like a cig... except a cig.
2) That's a good thing... since cigs taste like crap after a few months of vaping (really!)
3) I smoked Marlboro for many years. I know what you mean. I'm not trying to be a smart-.... here... just warning you that you'll have to find a flavor you enjoy... but may not find a flavor that is "like xxxxx brand cigs".

Another thought:

As mentioned above, one way I save $$$ and have variety is to DIY. Now, I won't get into the whole DIY thing here...it may be too soon for you anyway (depending on you). However, I will note that it is easy to "tweak" flavors with a handful of inexpensive flavorings that go a long way. The flavorings are cheap.. it's the nic juice that's expensive. So if it's a flavor issue, just fine one that is in the ball park to what you like and order some SMALL flavorings from vendors for a buck or buck-fifty each next time you order. Then you can "tweak it".

Ideas:
- Virginia Tobacco
- Any other tobacco blends
- French Vanilla
- nut/peanut-butter
- chocolate

Right now I'm vaping vanilla tobacco, for example. I could imagine adding one drop vanilla (or maybe partial drop cut with water) to a purchased tobacco blend that I didn't mind vaping. Hint: Get some 3 ml bottle so you can mix small quantities and don't waste juice (much) if you don't like it.

See the DIY section for more information and remember that a little flavoring goes a long way.

Good Luck.

I vape mostly tobacco liquids and have come to prefer Camel from Awesome Vapor. In the 24mg strength, it's a medium throat hit, nice aroma, and similar taste to a cigarette. I've tried lots of tobacco flavors and found few that suit me. I'm not saying it's for everybody, since I don't care for some that others rave about. One nice thing about Arno at AV, is that he lets you pick a free 3ml sample for every 10 ml bottle you buy. I try other juices that way from time to time and find some I like and some I don't.

Another deal I have found is a China liquid named 3&5 from Madvapes. It gets 4 stars from 45 reviews. Most rave about it and a couple dissed it, saying it smelled funny or that it had too much of a nutty taste. I didn't get that impression. To me, it's a nice clean tobacco juice. Tobacco juices are not nice and fruity smelling like sweet juices. Maybe those people were used to vaping cotton candy and decided to try a tobacco juice. They sell a 50ml bottle for $8.99. It's a fairly nice 555 clone and it's on sale right now (regular price $10.99). I have no affiliation with Madvapes other than that of a customer.

Tobaccos, like every other juice, should be like colognes, where you can walk in and try before buying! At least we would walk out with something that suits our tastes. Just bring your dripper atty when you come in.

I know this is going to be really bizarre, but here it goes. BTW I do not vape tobacco flavors. When I smoked I smoked camel. And they always seemed to have a peanut butter taste to them. I know I am really weird. When I started vaping I started with desert ship. It was not bad, but didn't taste exactly like a cig or camel to me. It did have a hint of some type of nut, but it was more hazelnutish. That not quite cig taste got boring and old quick. So I ventured into flavors and never looked back. That being said I am more of a sweet/ savory rich flavor person. So when I saw peanut brittle I had to try it. Of course a camel taste nothing like peanut too me now. I can't stand the taste or smell of cigs. But I still remember that enjoyable peanut taste cigs had when I did smoke. The peanut brittle is perfect for me. It nice and rich and peanutty with a hit of sweetness. My brain really likes this and to me it tastes how my brain remembers camel to taste, if that makes sense. I know really weird because its not tobacco flavor at all. And in all reality camels and peanut brittle vape are nothing alike.

Still a bit of noob. I have ordered from 6 suppliers in past 3 months for liquid. They had quality but I found that I don't have the sweet tooth I though I would. I do not care for the Chinese liquids either. I lean towards tobacco flavors and some coffee flavors. I found that I love Frisco and Texas from Vapor Station. Frisco has hint of hazelnut and/or cocoa but definitely not over done. The Texas is a tobacco flavor I enjoyed also. I will definitely try more flavors from Vapor Station but I'm addicted to Frisco right now. Great TH and vapor production too. Good luck! :)

I donot believe that any e-liqiud can really taste like a cigarette. When I started vaping I went on the Holy Grail search for the liquid that did. I never found it. What I did find is that after a couple of months I no longer liked the smell or taste of cigarettes.

I still like RY4 and DK-TAB, but they don't taste like cigarettes.
