Is it just me, or...

...Do some of the V4L cigarette flavors taste nothing like an analog? My "kamel" tasted nothing like an analog. And the green apple crumble was just slightly less disgusting. Like I was smoking a high school chemistry set.
Any suggestions of good flavors/sellers?

Taste is subjective my friend. you wont get the analog taste from vaping. A e cig is only vapor and those stinky analogs have combusting tobacco so its quite hard to replicate the exact same taste. I like my menthols and tobbaco flavors I use enjuice or liberty flights for my ejuice.

If any e-cig flavor tasted like an analog, it would be highly unusual. The taste of an analog is a product of combustion that can't be duplicated by vapor. The best you can hope for is that your juice tastes like your analogs smelled when you first opened the pack.

Don't despair though. In no time, you'll find out that your Camels didn't taste so great in the first place. Your taste buds will come back and you'll most likely prefer flavors that taste nothing like any analog in existence. You can get a menthol flavor from a juice, but not a smoking cigarette flavor. It just doesn't exist.

Meanwhile, there are good tobacco based flavors and some vendors specialize in it. I've moved beyond tobacco flavors myself, but Backwoods Brew is a very popular vendor of tobacco flavors. Alien Visions makes the wildly popular Boba's Bounty, which is a tobacco based flavor. RY4 is available from many vendors and they're all a bit different, but it's also a very popular tobacco based flavor.

I just found out for myself after buying 5-6 tobaccos,... I hate the tobaccos.
But I also found,... I dig fruit with mint... who knew??

Try RAWR. ... I've only tasted one of their flavors so far,... razzmatazz... its ridiculously tasty.

I need to mention that when you first buy a refillable cartridge/cartomizer there may be a tinge of some industrial machine oils still present; your first few vapes may taste like a 'chemistry set.'
I will leave it to somebody else to explain how to maybe deal with this; I just saturate good with my favorite e-liquid, then vape-on until the solvent taste has passed.

Also: this may not be the problem.

I'm a menthol dude myself. The best I've come across is P-38 Menthol from Aroma Ejuice. It's a WTA juice, and is the closest I've come to an analog, but better. It's more pungent. When I compare it to the analogs that I still have, the analogs are just sort of tasteless. I ordered 3 new bottles.
