Juice advice

[Philabos]

i am buying an Innokin Kroma A with a Zenith tank for my son, who smokes camel blue. He previously tried vaping, right to sub ohm with zero nic with predictable results. Looking for a 18mg juice for an MTL setup. His job is such he cannot mess with batteries or DIY juice.
I have searched the forum and the only thing I can come up with is Halo Longhorn, but would like an alternative.
Any advice appreciated.

I smoked Camel Blues forever and didn’t care for Longhorn but loved Tribeca. I think maybe a few sample bottles (or just buy both, they are buy one get one free at halo right now) would be a good idea so he could pick one he loved.

It’s really really hard to tell what someone is going to like or not like. I faced this issue with my sister and wound up getting her a juice of the month subscription.

Interesting. I smoked Parliament 100's for years and also liked Tribeca over the others. Cannot imagine any two cigarette brands as different as those two.

That’s funny that you think they are so different. Parliament lights were a nice backup brand for me. Always thought they were fairly similar.

Never tried camel blue so I will take your word for it.
Looks like Tribeca may be the first to try.
Thanks.

+1 Tribeca.

Too bad they are out of stock on their tobacco sample pack. Although it's no longer part of said pack, I liked Freedom Juice the best.

I always cringe when posters ask for recommendations for a flavor that "tastes like a cigarette".

The flavoring agents used e-liquids are for the most part food flavoring agents. I've yet to taste any food products that taste like a smoking cigarette.

Best bet is to find a flavor like a fruit, candy, desert, or coffee flavor that you will like.

I basically started on what I felt was the closest to an actual cigarette experience, the old prefilled carto stick battery set up from the flea market. I got to choose from either tobacco or menthol.

Soon after, I joined ecf to find the best tobacco flavor. At the time, it was Boba's, Rafalicious and Gorilla Juice. Then came the bakeries, for those initial tobaccos were very dessert like.

To this day, tobacco flavor makes up the majority of my mixes. I believe Hangsen actually uses tobacco for their flavor concentrates.

Go figure, I also love to sip straight whiskeys.

Actually tobacco flavors got me off the cigs and I too still use them predominantly. Sure, I also dabble in custards etc but the first step is to find a flavor that will get you to vaping 100 percent. I should have said in the OP he tried a fruity flavor. Did not work.
I think for some people it is a bridge too far right off the bat. I will agree everyone is different.
