Greetings! I have a dilema. I've spent a ton of money on e-liquids from various online vendors and I still can't find a cigarette flavor I like. I purchased an ecig kit from a company called ecigsbrand and I absolutely love the original tobacco flavor of their ecig cartridges. While the kit wasn't very expensive the catch with that company is that they want $64 for a pack of $10 replacement cartridges :facepalm: What the company doesn't want you to know is that their cartridges are refillable. The company, of course, doesn't sell the eliquid with their unique flavor and no other tobacco or cigarrate flavor I've tried thus far has come close to tasting as amazing as their's. The two reason's I'd like to find a flavor that is identical or similar enough to please my palette is because I want to avoid buying their over-priced replacement cartridges and also because I have an electronic cigar that I'd like to use that flavor in. It's impossible for me to truly explain the flavor, but it's a rich, robust, not to sweet tobacco flavor that IMO is the closest to a real cigarette. If you've ever toked an unlit cigarette that's part of the flavor but it also has a mild smoke flavor - it's quite complex but I absolutely love it. In fact I often get the cartridges without nicotine but I'm almost becoming addicted to this flavor :laugh:. Really the ONLY way for anyone to truly understand what I'm talking about is if they try it themselves. Granted everyone's tastes buds and preferences are different so what tastes good to me might tastes blah to someone else. Unfortunately every tobacco flavor I've tried has either tasted more like coffee grounds mixed with cough syrup or like melted plastic :blink:. Anyway.. has anyone tried that brand of ecig? If so have you found an e-liquid that tastes similar? Any recommendations for a good original tobacco flavor e-liquid. Unless someone wants to give me $64 so I can buy the cartridges from the company... j/k

Thanks for reading. :2cool:

I have not tried that brand, but in my opinion, so far, Smokeless Image has some of the best tasting tobacco flavors. I know it's mostly a small proprietary store that sells their kits and replacement parts, but their flavors are awesome. By the way, did you get boned with their trial offer and the whole cancellation gimmick? My brother did by an identical company. He canceled within the allotted time and was then charged a $30 restocking fee. If he did not cancel and return it he would be charged full price of the kit and $80+/month for cartos. Advise strongly against these kinds of free trials.

Sorry, can't help ya with the $64. I need to get my own juice. :unsure:

I have run into the same kinda of problem but the company i use sells OVER Priced juice and cartos. i love the V2 Sahara flavor but not a fan of there shipping and the CS over there i have tried a ton of other liquids but they dont seem to have that same taste. good luck in your search for the perfect e juice there is so many out there to choose from these days im sure you'll find one. As for me if you know any vendor that has a similar juice to Sahara PM me thanks and good luck.

Check out ECBlend E-Liquids - Something Better - they have a huge variety of flavors, from traditional tobacco to a juice wizard where you can create your own blend using up to 4 flavors (and ratios!) of your choice.

Their prices are more than reasonable, 5ml sample sizes (recommended to find out if a juice suits your taste buds!), start at 2.50 for regular, and 2.85 for their all natural and organic line. Use coupon code 10020 to save 20% on your order (making the original line only 2.00 for a 5ml).

I know you're looking for a tobacco blend, but you may want to try some of their non tobacco flavors as well. You might be surprised to find that fruit or sweet juices satisfy you more than tobacco!

Link to their traditional (tobacco) category: Traditional Flavors - ECBlend

All of their juices are made custom mixed in house using FDA approved ingredients when you order, and they provide great quality for a great price, and lightning fast shipping. I'm a juice junkie, have tried lots of flavors (at one point I had over 2000ml of juice from various vendors), and I always come back to ECB :)

U mean all the USA fancy website are using OEM of dekang? Wow do u know of other factories?

Not all. Or even most.
It's usually just the shady, rip off companies that charge outrageous prices for $10 items that do it.

Edit: I searched around for you. Several people said they thought it was Dekang MLB (aka Dekang USA Mix). I also found a few who said it was RY4 or 5*5 (aka 555). Can't say which, or if any of them are right or not. But you should be able to try them all for a lot than those rip off refills.

Off the top of my head I know goodejuice.com and Madvapes.com both carry Dekang tobacco flavors.

I just tried the 7 leaf from ECBlend again, and after steeping for 2 weeks, it does remind me of a nice unlit cigarette, with none of the dry, old burnt cigarette/ashtray taste many tobaccos hit me with.

I also tried it with a 1:1 drop ratio with their 100% vg menthol, and that was great, too.

I'm glad I gave it another shot after steeping as the flavors really came together nicely, and will be ordering a larger bottle (without menthol so I can enjoy it as is or add menthol depending on my mood).

***I did NOT like this straight out of the mail! It really needed the full 2 weeks of steeping to develop the flavor***

The only reason I didn't get tangled in their web of trial and membership is because I used a virtual (one-time) card number. Once they charged me the trial price of $7.99 for the trial kit I closed that number so that they couldn't charge it again. I suppose that's a bit shady but sometimes you gotta beat them at their own game.

:toast:

Looks like maybe I found the right thread for my question.... Does anyone know of a juice flavor/company that compares in taste to V2's platinum red?? I love this flavor, but their price and shipping is outrageous compared to most other companies...Thanks for your time and info

Edit- what's the deal with the "steeping"? I just got 2 30ml bottles of "red " from myfreedomsmokes because I read alot of good reviews about it, and to be honest I dont like it at all, horrible after taste..... Will it get "better"? By letting it sit for a few weeks? Is it like that with any e-liquid purchased? I ask because my V2 red tastes fine right out of the mail
