Looking for a flavor like my Marlboro Lights-please help!

I am struggling to quit the analogs and like the whole idea of vaping but I can not find a flavor I can live with yet. I use a KR808D-1 and have already spent a small fortune on cartomizers and juice that I try once and hate. My last round was trying the Parliament flavor from Vapor4Life but I gotta say, they tear my throat up and i end up getting frustrated and smoking a regular cig. I used to use the Marlboro flavor carts sold by cig-easy and I liked the flavor (though the vapor wasn't great). Then they either changed suppliers or something (now they're called USA mix?) , and my last order tasted awful.
I really, really need to quit the traditional cigarettes. Hubby had a stroke, I've got a 12 year old boy who's the love of my life and I want to be around for him for a long time. If I can find a decent flavor, with enough of a throat hit and plenty of vape, I know I can quit the analogs and I just might be able to get hubby to quit too!
I am not into the fruity or menthol flavors. Just need something as close to my real cigs as possible.
Any suggestions for a struggling vaper?

If you're willing to try mixing your own..the tobacco flavors from FlavourArt usually satisfy even the pickiest tobacco users and even pipe and cigar users. You can just order unflavored juice in your fav strength and then add a drop or two per ml of the FlavourArt flavorings to it. I use their Maxboro Ultimate and also their Desert Ship(Camel flavored) and get that really smooth tobacco flavor. I also smoked Marlboros and it's pretty darned close!

I have tried tobacco flavor juices from ten different companies and none of them matched a real cigarette taste. I have found some that were close enough to keep me vaping though. I look at it as just switching brands when I was a smoker. After a few days everything was fine. I buy from Wordup E-Cig Super Store. They have a big selection of tobacco flavors and sell small sample packs and they have free shipping. I like Flue Cured, Carlton and 555. Good luck.
 
Thanks for your suggestions! I realize I won't find anything that's exactly like my regular cigarettes but I'm hoping for something that's not harsh like most I've tried.
I am not much of a mixologist but am willing to give it a try! Curious though if anyone has found a decent prefilled cartomizer flavor that's similar and not harsh?

I was a smoker of Marlboro Ultra Light 100's. That being said, the only tobacco flavor I have liked so far is Kent. Thought I would just throw that in the mix. :)

I'd try the Kent as well. I was a Marb Light smoker and Kent was the best "replacement" for me early on.

I've since found the Halo juices to be by far my new best juice for life though. The vapor is fantastic, the juice is very easy on the atty and the flavors just really drew me in - not like analog smoke though.

I tried Nhaler's High Voltage Kent and it is really good, although I wish they made a higher mg Kent. Anyone know where to get one that is similar, but high mg?

Rocky Mountain Vapor has Kent in 18mg and 24mg. I think it is actually made by Dekang and is the only liquid by them I like.

Ex-Marlboro Light smoker here.

A funny thing happened along the trek to finding something that "tastes like a Marlboro Light". I forgot what they taste like. LOL

It's been about 15 months for me since I dragged on any cigarette, not just a Marlboro. Some have suggested DeKang's Kent and I'd agree with that. Also, one that is rarely talked about is DeKang's Dunhill. Both of these have that *dirty* analog taste to them. Not that *dirty* is a bad thing, it's just different from real vaping which believe it or not you will eventually prefer. When THAT time comes, head on over to Backwoods Brew and sample Honey Cured, Malty, Maple tobacco, Maxboro, etc.

You might want to try Alien Vision's Boba's Bounty also. Vapor Station has a terrific sampler pack of 10 for like $25.

Best of luck to you.
 
I'm having same problem. Did research and found that in reg. Marlboro lights, there is may only a little nic and 5x the tar. I'm thinking maybe the juice I buy - high marlbo - is 2 much so I am going to add some more vg 2 it. Saw this recommendation. In this, it's still lots more nic than what u get in a cig. Maybe that's why I have the runs - lol
Full strength (such as Marlboro Red) Full strength (18 – 24 mg)
Light (such as Marlboro Lights) Medium strength (12 – 16 mg)
Ultra light (Such as Marlboro Ultra Lights) Light strength (4 – 8 mg)
 
I followed the advice I received to my original post. I ordered some Freedom Juice from Halo and some blank carts. Filled one with the condom method, though the whole spin thing after didn't go so well for me (made a mess) LOL. But the point is IT'S DO-ABLE! The flavor of Freedom is really not bad. It's not harsh and though it's not Marlboro Lights, it is more pleasant than any other I have tried. I just had my husband try a hit off of it and the look on his face was one of surprise, and he said "yeah, I could do this...is that one mine?" As I said in my first post, hubby has had 2 strokes so for him to quit the analogs will be huge.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of the kind people who took the time to answer my post and help me find my way. I appreciate each and every one of you and would welcome any more suggestions for success that you have! You're the best!:toast:
