Backwoods Brew Take a look at their juices. These have a tobacco flavor to them, I think the flavors I ordered need to sit a bit more but I like them already. I ordered dolce de leche, waffle and blast.

If you find a vendor with Wyatt Earp and/or Hypnotic Mist, try them. Both of these have complex tastes, the WE has a stronger taste, the HM lighter, but both are interesting.

One last thing, this happens to a lot of people, including me, I reached a point after a few weeks of vaping where I couldn't taste anything. No matter what I vaped, even Atomic Cinnacide was tasteless. I switched back to menthol, and a few days later all was right with my taste buds again. It can be very frustrating, though, so if this does happen to you, you'll be aware of it and know that it's temporary.

I'm a newbie still, as I havent tried out alot of the vendors listed here, but so far I'm in love with my first two picks--Vapor4life, and Voidmist. I tried out V4L because I got my kit there, but their nuport juice is perfect for me, and guess what I smoked? LOL! Their other flavors are really good, too. For my adventurous side, I tried out Voidmist due to the 50% off coupon on the master list, and I was very pleasantly surprised with how great their flavors are! I especially love their amaretto juice, its to die for. Also-they are willing to send you a sample of any juice they carry besides the custom juices, for $2.20-which is really $1.10 with their never ending coupon-which you can re-use as many times as you like! You choose the PG/VG levels, and can even add "mixing instructions"! Both vendors are super with the fast shipping, and have great customer service attitudes!

Just a suggestion from a guy that was a hardcore smoker, both Ciggs and pipe. I started out almost two years ago on 36 mg, and am still on 36. I also vape plain juice. I started to vape food, candy, pastry type juice and almost started smoking again.
You won't find a analog tasting juice, believe me! What you need to find is a Tobacco REPLACEMENT juice that works for you. It can be Tobacco or any flavor as long as it fills your need. The only type juice that works for me must have a Strong throat hit, lots of vapor, good taste. I tend to lean towards the nutty, less sweet flavors. There are many out there. Try to find one and if it doesn't work for you any more, look for another. Start out with 24mg and see how that does. Many people drop the mg down and many like me, increase the nic. Try to find that sweet spot for you. It may cost some money at first, finding the right juice. Read the reviews here often. I also suggest finding a back up juice, or two. I had a juice that really worked for me. I never craved a analog. The juice was discontinued and I found myself back to square one! Good luck and keep at it.

I have a list ready and have the juices that we are first going to try in 16, 18, and 24mg strength, then after Christmas when we order again I will know if we need to go up or down, and what flavors we really like. I know that having a variety we will find the strength that we like, and the flavors that we like. :)

I don't like a strong TH, where my partner does so I know that one of us is going to love a certain flavor and strength and the other won't. It's just going to be a lot of fun trying them all out.

I'll put my vote in for Tasty Vapor with a caveat. They do not do samples. Smallest order is 1 oz size. 28-30 ml. They make all of their liquids to order. When I first started I had the fortunate experience of attending Midwest vapefest and got free samples from many vendors. While most were ok I only found 1 or 2 that I would buy. I kept reading on ecf about Tasty Vapor and their fans. While I would have preferred a sampler pack I went ahead and bought a couple of their premium flavors on their sale of the week $10 per oz instead of $15. Shipping is always $5 total per order. I figured that they must be doing something right based on their reviews an the fact that they didn't want to jeopardize their quality just to offer samples. I've since ordered two more times from them trying different flavors. Haven't found one yet that was ok they are all very good to great. I recommend that you add them to your list.

I'm a fan of Backwoods Brew but I don't know if he has any liquor flavors - that wasn't what I was looking for. His juices are 70pg/30vg.

I based my starting nicotine on a per-pack calculation (20 x milligram of nic in each of the analogs I smoked) and for me that was 20 x .9 = 18. Planning to vape as much as I smoked (1.5 pack a day but many not finished) I started with 18mg with some 12mg just in case 18mg was too much. I figure I go through about 1.5 milliliters of juice per day. I recommend you get 2-3 different nicotine amounts around what you think you need and also based on whether you planned to vape more, less or the same as you smoked. If you get a headache and heart racing, it's probably too much. 18mg seems right for me. If you smoked full-strength cigarettes then maybe get 24mg and 18mg if you plan to vape as much as you smoked?

BTW - the mg of nicotine a juice states is the mg per milliliter (ml). For analogs it is usually stated as the mg per cigarette.
