In the quest for a "serious" flavor....

[Carto-Miser]

Took advantage of some Memorial Day sales to place a few new e-liquid orders. I have juices from Backwoods Brew (Casablanca, Bacco, Malty, Smoke), a sampler from Smokeless Image (

RY4, 555, Desert Joe, Cowboy,Freedom)​

, a few from FreedomSmokeUSA (Wyatt, Perique Black, Dark Vapure, RY4, PureCig) and a couple flavors from Vapor God that came free with blank cartomizers I ordered (RY4, DK tobacco.)

I'm hoping that somewhere in the mix I'll find the serious, not sweet, dirty, grown-man tobacco flavor that I'm looking for. I'm really enjoying the sweetish taste of favorites like Bobas and Bounty Hunter, but I'll rest easier knowing I've got a real analog flavor in my arsenal as well.
Anyone else go a little overboard ordering stuff this weekend?

I haven't tried a whole lot of flavors yet, but I have a suggestion for you. Try "....-LIKE BOLD" from CIGNOT. It actually has some black gunk floating around in it, and you have to shake it up. It's borderline gross, but in a satisfyingly real tobacco way.

Also, the next time you order from Vapor God give their toasted almond flavor a try. It's not tobacco but there is something wonderful about the flavor that helps me when I am missing analogs, and it's not sweet at all which is good for me.

I know I'll probably get some heat on this here, but at least try dripping.

That would be just my luck if something named "....-Like Bold" turned out to be my favorite flavor. Their description sounds awesome though! I'm going to try it after I try out my new stuff. Toasted almond sounds really good too. Thanks for those suggestions!

Why would you get heat? I never said I wouldn't try dripping...especially for the purposes of testing out these juices I def. will be. I don't think me not dripping is related to wanting a flavor that's not sweet though.

I only mentioned dripping for the flavor enhancement it provides. Seems the subject of dripping is a hot button here - pro vs con.

I know your pain. I'd love nothing better than to find a good, actual tobacco flavored juice...I'm starting to think it's like finding a twinkie after the zombie apocalypse.

Anyhow, I've only tried flavors from my local shop (Freedom Smoke USA)...and their Maxx Blend, which is supposed to be like Marboros, was too syrupy, and their Cam-Blend was to herby/spicy...so I mixed the two 50%/50% and I found something that works on the analog taste craving. I can't say that my mix actually tastes like cigarettes, but the spicy with a maple undertone kind of does it for me.

Nice, sounds good. I know I'll never really get a 100% analog taste, and in fact I tried a real cig a couple weeks ago at the bar, and couldn't believe how strange it tasted. Reminded me of being 14 and smoking outside my high school and feeling socially awkward, haha. But I would still want that exact flavor in an e-liquid if I could get it.

Yes. Yes, I did.

I've been loving Vapedude juices. I've already tried Lemonade, Strawberry- Lemonade, Spearmint (my all day vape), Bubblegum, Banana Cream, Strawberry Fields, Cotton Candy, and Strawberry Cream.

This weekend I ordered a larger battery from Volt and a carrying case for my growing collection of batteries and cartomizers. From Vapedudes I ordered 5 more bottles. I'm going to try out Gummy Bears, Sugar Cookie, Thin Mint, and Vanilla Mint, and I'm getting a 30ml bottle of the spearmint I liked so much.

If you haven't noticed, I prefer the sweeter flavors.

Interestingly, when I started vaping I searched everywhere to try and find something that tasted like my old friend Marlboro Red. I never found it. Once I made the mental transition from "trying to quit" to "I'm a vaper", I haven't ordered a tobacco flavor since.

Have you tried Fiddle Faddle from Kick Bass Vapors? OMG. I'm addicted to the stuff. And I hated the sweeter juices when I started a couple of weeks ago.

No shame in that, hehe. If I'm not mistaken, vapedudes has a blueberry honey flavor that's supposed to be really good. It's on my list of things to try eventually...

Very wise of you! Not replace ever found for marlboro red but i felt satisfied with v2 red for a while, then I went for sweet tobacco notes

Try some of the Mom and Pop tobacco flavors with WTA! I go a tobacco Phaze sample in my last order form them and it was as close to analog as I have found so far. In fact was not a favorite of mine as I expected it would be... much prefer RY4 and some nice fruit flavors these days!

I haven't tried that one and thanks for the recommendation, but... are you trying to break my bank?! (kidding) Next time I buy juices, I'll check that one out.

Oooh! Just checked out their website. Definitely going to try a few of their flavors sometime soon. Thanks for pointing them out. I'm a sucker for mystery flavors, so the Tobacco Haze is calling my name.

If you're really after a good tobacco vape you have to do this first: get it out of your head that you'll find anything that tastes like the flavors given off by smoldering tobacco. Sorry. I know some might disagree with that but I've gone through many many tobaccos and learned along the way that if you're going to be satisfied with this category of flavor you have to accept them for what they are: juices that taste similar to how various treated/cured tobaccos smell (as-is, not burning).

One gotcha: ....-like bold does somehow capture a burny quality, but it reminded me more of the water in a red dixie cup that was used as an ashtray at a frat party the night before...

 

[ThiswishIwish]

The Haze I am told has a hazelnut type flavor... have not tried it though it dose sound yummy. Their five layer while not a tobacco vape is to die for thought lol! I would order a huge bottle of it if the pg ratio did not do mean things to me!

 

[bnrkwest]

Finding real tobacco flavor is really hard. I like Halo tobaccos and the closest I came was Halo's Captain Jack it has a fresh tobacco like smell and vape and a slight sweet tobacco taste like cured tobacco smells. Think walking into a smoke shop with pipe tobacco aromas. This is what it reminds me of. Then if I want a really heavy dark coffee taste with plenty of TH get add Tiramisu at at least 12 nic, vape alone or add to Captain Jack half and half, that really satisfies my need to analogs. Strong and tobaccy, Love it! bnrk

Hah! That's a vivid description there...made me cringe. Well done =D

In some review I was watching a while ago, the reviewer mentioned that a juice tasted "like the bottom of a hamster cage"....that had me rolling. Not sure, but I think it was a GrimmGreen review on youtube.

I've had smokeless Image's sampler, I liked the desert joe and the cowbow. I'm not too big on the fruity ones but i liked malted madness so i'm curious about the Malty.
