Green Tea: excellent tobacco sub!

[gridley]

Granted I haven't tried many flavors at all, but I just started on green tea with my new mini vtube and it really hits the spot as a tobacco substitute. It's not a sweet dessert or fruit flavor, but tastes earthy and herby. I haven't liked any tobacco flavors so far, but I want something that is still somewhat reminiscent of the cigarettes I am trying to give up. For some reason, this seems to fit the bill.

If you know what I mean, what other flavors have you found to be good replacements for tobacco?

I never smoked menthols cigs, but I find I love mint flavored juices, especially chocolate mint.

My favorite so far is AVE Massive Chocolate Mint. It has an herb flavor, not sure if it's sage or what, but it hits the spot for me.

I just ordered a 30ml bottle and am eagerly awaiting it's arrival.

I may just try some green tea as I've read a few people saying they enjoyed it, even with no nic. I might even try some Lipton's Orange and Spice since I really like the way that tastes as iced tea.

IF you like tea juices, Rawr has some of the best I have tried. Their Green Peach Tea is awesome, as is their Berry Tea. I've heard great things about the Mango tea, but I haven't tried that one. They also have just regular green tea, Early Grey, etc...so may be worth giving a try if you've found that you like the the vapes

I happen to think BWB's 555 Exotic has some of those qualities that you are referring to---I happen to be a lover of hand rolled green tea (my best friend ships it to me from China). This is what I wrote about it in the BWB sub-forum:

"Yeah, I definitely am getting a citrus-y note. I am not getting "peanut" per se, but a nuttiness much in the way that green tea has a nuttiness. As a matter of fact, the 555e is starting to taste just like a perfectly and gently steeped green tea with a touch of honey, anchored by a subtle tobacco. I hope this makes sense, but even if no one agrees, the point is: this is some delicately flavored, subtly charged, perfect for the spring, juice!"

Well I suppose this is kind of off topic bit give ecblendflavors.com a try. They have a tea wizard you can choose 4 types of tea. With or without sweetner. Pg/vg ratio. Extra or double extra flavoring. Menthol or none. Plus a myriad of flavors to go in them. Recently.reodered a big bottle of peach green tea. Love it. But you can make it raspberry, mango,strawberry or anything else you want. Also, its nigh impossible to beat their prices.

On topic, I have found a cinnamon danish flavor that satisfies the tobacco crave from elitevaporworks.com. nicest guys here local in stl for me and they sell in great flat 36 ml bottles. Fit great in your pocket. Kind of flask shaped instead of round.

Which eliquid company do you use for your green tea?

Having only tried Rawr's teas (green peach tea is a must have in my rotation), I have no idea how other vendors stack up in the tea area. One of these days I'll try ECblend's tea, but I am a bit gunshy. My first order with them was a complete fail. Hated everything.

Who else does a good tea?

I haven't had good luck with any other tea vapes that I have tried...all very perfumey to me, which I can't tolerate with my juices at all. The Rawr green tea actually has the exact same smell to me as green tea that I would drink. (Whats funny about that..is its not a smell I really like (for the vape or the beverage), but I love the taste). It's not a perfumey scent though...I really think its just the smell of green tea. I can't think of anything else that I have that odd relationship with.

Why does everyone try the GREEN tea. My first impression of regular, nongreen tea was that it was pleasantly bitter somewhat like a real smoke.

There is a big thread about making your own DIY tea.

 

[Unforeseen]

Green tea is one of my favorites. Make all sorts of different flavors with it. Also, you should give Chai Tea a try as well. Might be pleasantly surprised.

 

[kittypie]

I agree. When I first started vaping, I thought V4L's Green Tea was a pretty good sub for analogs. Plain Green Tea, no sugar, no lemon.

I did try a mango black tea, which I the fav I drink from QT. I didn't care for it. Not sure if it was from the mango or the tea. I am going to try plain or a different flavored black tea.

I did get a chai tea from ECB as well. I like it. May add some vanilla or something next time. Vaping it today again actually.

Going to give their earl grey a whirl at some point too. I love tea. Can't beat ecblend's tea wizard for tea flavor choices.

 

[thinkingaboutit]

Another vote for green tea. It mixes well with Ry4 too in my opinion.

 

[gridley]

I got this green tea from Vapor4Life. I am still digging it, haven't had the money to get any more juices to try. I am finding I head towards this green tea or my cappuccino cartridge for my Volt. I definitely plan to try chai tea! I love to drink it, I bet it would be a favorite for vaping. Thanks for all the great comments, I haven't been on as much lately.

 

[avicens45]

I would suggest Sweet Caroline from iVape. That's been my favorite and as I've tried many other sweet/dessert/candy flavors... This just works for me. It has a tobacco honey tea flavor. Some hate it but I LOVE it.

 

[ohai]

It isn't green tea, but Ms T's Bakery has a really nice iced tea in her testing area. It's very slightly sweet, lemony and cool, doesn't go quite to menthol or minty, just cool. Tastes just like iced tea, perfect for July heat.

Ahlusion has a slew of fantastic-sounding teas -- including a plain "jade dew." I can't wait to try them ALL.
