Have you been pleased with Halo Freedom?

The Freedom is a good mix, but like most juices I get tired of it and need to change up, I just can't vape the same thing all day and have to rotate between about 5 different juices and flavors with many of them being DIY

They are not similar at all. I can only vape Halo's menthols, Ice Menthol in particular, but his tobaccos are not my thing. They all have this cedar-y, ginger-y base I don't care for.

BWB tobaccos are unique and I can't really describe the taste for you. You really have to try them for yourself--he has quite a selection. I love Don's milder flavors, with just a hint of tobacco, like Malty, Honey Flue Cured, etc. His coffees are also fantastic.

I look forword to trying BWB. I plan on ordering some as soon as possible this week. Player30, I was pleased with what I tried (my friend got 24mg freedom) and I have only had a few puffs of it. My bottle should be here tomorrow in a lower dose.

Everybody says "taste is subjective". Hmmm....well if they say it tastes like blueberries then no matter what you think blueberries tastes like...it should be THAT. So if I describe something to taste like Pizza, someone else should know what I mean. Unless ofcourse pizza to them tastes like chocolate cake. I realize It's hard to pinpoint the flavor in vape juice sometimes but for instance I would say "VaporsEtc Captain Jack tastes overly sweet like syrup and nothing like tobacco". I can say that because it gives me the same taste syrup gives me and nothing at all that tobacco does.

Just looking for a juice resembeling tobacco and not carmalized sugar and nuts. Never had an overly sweet nutty cigarette. lol.

Also how is Johnson Creek Smoke Juice compared to these?

I love their Red Oak Swiss Dark, but it can be challenge to keep it from gunking up atomizers...very, very thick and dark.

I was disappointed by the Tennessee Cured and Vanilla from their regular line - they seem very watery to me, though I thought the flavor was okay, once I finally succeeded in getting my atty to produce vapor with them.

Taste is subjective, and its even more so when it comes to vaping. The tobacco taste you (and all the new vapers) are looking for is the taste of cigarette smoke, which is not achievable with vaporized eliquids. No ecig will ever taste like cigarette smoke. There's no combustion. So the best you can hope for is the taste and smell often described here as the smell of freshly opened pack of cigarettes, which, IMO, is pretty nasty. For me, anyway. I never had any desire to chew on raw cigs...

Thus, any tobacco flavor will be somebody's interpretation or, if you will, variation on the theme of raw tobacco taste.

I agree that fruit flavors are easier to place, but still not as easy as you may think. There is no chewing involved, just inhaling, and it's a very different sensation.

Trial and error. You'll just have to try different juices and find your favorites. But they will never taste like a cigarette or cigar smoke. Or like eating fresh blueberries or drinking Cafe Mocha...

Also how is Johnson Creek Smoke Juice compared to these?

The Johnson's Creek Red Oak (VG Line) Domestic and Tennessee Cured are two of my favorites, I'd say Domestic is the most cigarette like albeit with better flavor. I purchased multiple Halo tobacco's and they tasted "flowery" to me, however I know people who swear Halo is the best.

Unfortunately you will spend hundreds searching for your favorite flavor and what I like might not be what you like (out of over 100 purchases I like three).

Edit: And to add to subjectivity, they all taste different on different equipment...

FSUSA's purecig is by far the most like a cigarette I've ever tried. As their site says, they really did nail that smoggy, ashy cigarette flavor. That juice has helped a lot of people finally commit to the ecigs. I personally prefer a tobacco vape that tastes nothing like a cigarette nowadays, but the puregig is the most authentic, cigarette-like vape you'll ever find.

They are nothing alike.

It's like comparing a steak to ice cream...

Both are high quality liquids.
Completely different flavor palates...

As far as comparing BWB tobaccos to Halo tobaccos... halos are a bit stronger, drier... BWB's are more subtly flavored and a tad sweeter.

Halo only offers three-four tobacco vapes and three menthols. IMO, all are worth the money. Excellent vapes.
BWB offers several tobacco variants that are really good..... and again, BWB has at least 3 different ways of producing the tobacco taste... comparing certain BWB to certain BWB is difficult enough.

I hear it's tasty and all...

...but it is subjective because I would say any FSUSA tobacco tastes nothing close to a cigarette to me.

Halo and BWB don't produce tobacco flavored vapes by adding flavourart flavorings to nic solutions.

Sorry if that sounds snotty... after all, it is about taste... it's just that I truly appreciate the effort of a supplier that labors to produce a unique tobacco offering.

Agree.

IMO - They are two totally different in all aspects. There is no comparison between the two. Do I like Halo - not
Do I like BWB - yes

Agree.


Try Acid Blondie from Want2vape DIY & Tobacco Flavors and Supplies for a really good cigar tobacco.
I just got some and have been singing it's praises all day today.
It is made from actual cigars and the flavor is super.
(And I'm considered a BWB Fanboy.)
