Funny, I have been vaping for 3 months now using different tobac flavors (was a 30yr Marlb. Light smoker). Two days ago, I tried my wife's cigarette, just because. I couldn't smoke it. It tasted terrible, left a terrible nasty taste on my tongue, and I couldn't get any "Smoke" from it... Nothing like the vapor I get from my 510's on battery mods.
Point is. Forget trying to find something that tastes like cigarettes. Cigarettes actually taste like ....., you just don't know it yet. Now CIGARS are a different story all together.
