Need a lil help from my Fellow Canucks!

I moved to L.A. recently from Ottawa and decided to quit smoking, yes the American cigs are that nasty...lol.....

I want to know if their are any sellers/retailers in the USA that have Canadian Cig Flavors preferably with nicotine, i figure in about 6 months i will probably not even want the ones with nicotine anymore.

Hi Chris! Congrats on your decision to quit the stinkies! Most folks starting out are looking for something that tastes like a cigarette...problem is, you're probably not going to find a juice that tastes much like cigarettes. In six months, you may still need the nicotine, however, wanting it to taste like a cig will most likely fade quickly as you discover the array of enjoyable flavours that are available! Good luck to you on your new journey!

Don't be fooled by the names of popular brands, none of them actually replicate the taste of the cigarette brands they're supposed to represent.

That being said as brinks7 mentioned you could always give it a shot but keep your expectations low.

My suggestion would be to try a few different tobacco flavor e-juices and find one that you like.

It is so funny that almost everyone new(including) myself follow the same steps when we quit cigs & began vaping. Try to replace the tobacco with tobacco flavoured e-juice. It's so typical of human nature. I remember scouring around & when I found Pete Jacksens(China juice) from MLV - I was excited & ordered everything from that vendor. Unbeknownst to me - all the Canadian tobaccos were a bit of a letdown. None tasted remotely close to a real cig. This I would learn, later, wasn't a big deal. Ironically, I had grown fond of the Pete Jacksens - It had a nice maple tone to it & got me through my first month of vaping. A huge bonus to vaping is having the flexibility & excitement of trying new flavours - something we never did with smoking. 4 months in & my favourites still seem to be the fruit flavoured tobacco's & a few weird ones like Juicy-fruit gum - go figure.

Tasty vapor have a pretty close analog flavor Welcome to Tasty Vapor

Its actually made from real tobacco i think.

Check it out,when I got new vapers that still want that authentic tobacco mouth ashtray thingy i fill a cart with that juice and they go about happy.

The bottle I have is all PG unsweetened and 12mg/ml...its right on.

Crystal-e-Liquid is out of New York I think and has a "Classic Tobacco" that is fairly
mild. They are top quality e-liquids and offer sample packs 5 juices in 10mil glass
bottles, your choice between all the flavours they carry.:vapor::vapor:

Crystal - 100% US made E-Liquid

Weird thing is, one of the first juices I got was the Classic Tobacco (as well as Ice Menthol) from Crystal... and it's probably one of the few flavours I've found that is nearly unvapeable... really odd perfumey-flowery taste that I haven't found elsewhere. I added some menthol concentrate I made from menthol crystals to it and it's sort of usable now, but I'm never getting that again. But to each their own, I guess.

Addendum: If you get seriously into vaping, the odds are you'll find that other flavours will be more satisfying. I still like some tobacco vapes, but I find myself preferring RY4 (a tobacco/caramel/vanilla blend), Green Apple, watermelon, and some grape e-juice I got from China. Oh, and Red Cola too.

I have no doubt i will be onto the wonderful flavors for sure, they sound really great! already have a huge list i want to try.

I just am wanting to get some nicotine tabacco to help with quit smoking thingy, just worried bout ordering from american sites that their tabacco flavor will taste like the stinky cigs down here and hoping that i could find a usa seller that has some canadian blend of ejuice to vape.

Sean at Crystal told me when I first started, this is ironic, that the "American Tobacco" flavour is more like Canadian tobacco. The next time I ordered I mistakenly asked for "Classic Tobacco" and it was awful. I immediately took it back for more of the "American Tobacco".

I actually find the American Tobacco too mild on its own now but I always pop a few drops of Peppermint Passion or any other flavour I have on hand into the tank and it's yummy!!!!

I absolutely adore their RY4 as well.

I like tobacco flavors because to me they taste more like what fresh tobacco smells like rather than what smoke tastes like (if that makes sense). Cigarettes always fell far short in this regard; they never tasted like what I would have expected from the smell of an unlit cigarette or a freshly-opened package.

So no, tobacco flavors don't taste like a cigarette; they're much, much better! :)

In case it hasn't sunk in... cig flavors are never close. Besides, I'm pretty sure all the Canadian brand cig flavors are now made to order by Dekang and Hangsen. Juicy Clear used to make their own stuff (like Dumay and Hexport), but they are no more. Some resellers probably still have stock tho...

Not saying you should avoid it... but you should drastically lower your expectations for tobacco flavors. You're just gonna have to get samplers and have an open mind. I hated menthol smokes, but mint ended up being my ADV when I started.

If it helps, I personally think Backwoods Brew makes the best tobacco flavors.
