hi. New here. vaping for almost 2 years with Greensmoke Cigalikes. Greensmoke recently changed their tobacco flavors, not for the good. My question is this: anyone know what company has cartomizers that taste similar to Greensmoke's former Red Label flavor? I've been trying various other brands and most are too sweet and/or actually make me feel somewhat queasy after vaping. I've tried other tobacco flavors and some of the coffee, vanilla and cola flavors. Was totally hooked on Greensmoke Red Label and need something really close to that. Anyone? Thanks in advance.

I don't think you're going to find anything close. As far back as 2011, folks have been looking for a "clone" for that eliquid without much success.
Did a general search on the Internet and found this. Might be worth a shot.

Many of us tried and most of us failed.
Cartomizer systems always used to be so astonishingly expensive (some still are) that people got off them as fast as they could and into refillables. This is the point they yearned for the flavor (like smokers do) they had gotten used to.
In the search for e-liquid in bottles, many people found a new flavor that was just as good, only different - but took satisfaction from saving money and enjoying more/better vaping products.
Greensmoke are right up there as a brand I could not ever recommend (on financial or quality product grounds) so well done to you for the two years.
If the product you want has gone, never to return, maybe now is the time to re-think your strategy? - I'm not saying you have to vape the kind of hardware many of us do, but just to be aware of the costs in the cig-a-like cartomizer system.
Normally, I would rant on about Greensmoke and throw Blu, Whitecloud, and V2 into the mix just to labor the point but your post proves they can be the right product for some people, so ... well done!

Thanks for the replies. And yes, it looks as though I will be rethinking things across the board. As to Greensmoke, expense, etc., all I can say is that I haven't had a regular cigarette since I started Vaping, so that in itself is worth it to me... I will likely be asking additional questions as I look into other options, so good to know there are knowledgeable and helpful folks on this forum. Thanks again.
Hello and welcome to the forum @Geojude. Glad to have you here!
Nicotine
A "general guideline" for nicotine concentration in e-liquid to the number of cigarettes smoked per day. If you are subohming (resistance under 1.0Ω) cut these nicotine levels by at least 50%.
06 mg = 10 cigarettes or less
12 mg = 20 cigarettes
18 mg = 30 cigarettes
24 mg = 40 cigarettes
eLiquid/Juice
PG = Propylene Glycol - the "flavor carrier" of e-liquid. A secondary source of "throat hit", but not as strong as the nicotine concentration. Some people have a sensitivity or even an allergy to PG. It's very thin.
VG = Vegetable Glycerin - the "vapor maker" of e-liquid. Used as a sweeter in many food sources, and also as a skin emollient. It's very thick. Often labeled just "Glycerine"
PG and VG are often used together in different ratios in e-liquid. For example, a 50/50 PG/VG ratio. Many juice vendors offer a range of different ratios as far as PG/VG.
If you are interested in learning more about e-cigarettes (and all the parts and pieces) below are some blog posts by ECF member @Baditude that I highly recommend for someone new to vaping or looking to upgrade.

Yes. Of course. No problem, congratulations.
I didn't have such luck, so it's my mission you see. You'll get used to me, many don't.
Finding a juice you like is just about the hardest part of vaping. It sucks when your ADV is no longer available. I hope you find another one you like.
