I smoked Marlboro reds for 40+ years and wanted something that tasted like them when I started vaping. I settled for a couple tobacco flavors to start, but continued my search. I then tried Marbo and Reds, both nice, but not Marlboro. I soon found while searching that some of the juices I tried satisfied my vape even though they didn't duplicate the smokes and now I don't even remember what a Marlboro tastes like and am branching out into other non-tobacco flavors.

I guess my point is, find something that is pleasurable to vape and in time, what the Marlboro's taste like will be a distant memory.

I second to that.

The thing is, sometimes we are dealing with mental-addiction.
Vape can resemble the hand activity, mouth activity, and puff-ing activity.
Nic can satisfy the junkie-need.

Flavor ? this one can be very tricky.
Some people can actually taste a great butterscotch / cinnamon roll / tutti fruity , and even though they taste it great, they might end up craving for tobacco flavor.
It wasn't happened to me though. Once I tasted that fruit punch in my mouth, I really think the analogs tasted suck.
 
That sounds difficult, my problem is that my mom does not like sweets at all, therefore she does not like any of my juices. I tried to find a single fruit flavor for her but she said that she does not even eat yogurt because she dislikes artificial fruit flavors. I am therefore still looking for something, does anybody has a recommendation?

I tried many different cigg flvored juices.
First I didnt want anything sweet period.
That was my thoughts at first, cause I was use to real ciggs.
Some cigg flavors I tried was too sweet and some was just a little sweet.
Since I already purchased, went ahead and vape it.
Got ahold of some vape juice that wasnt sweet recently and it doesnt taist as good as the juice that was a little sweet.
The little sweet leaves a slight pleasant after taiste.
Real ciggs dont taste as good as they once did.
Now I strickly vape and dont miss ciggs at all.
Im old school and was a hardcore cigg smoker for years.
She just has to get her feet wet and go for it.
She be happy once she does.

Most times I'd suggest a coffee, chocolate, vanilla, or caramel flavor to most new users, they generally get the smoker to become a vaper quicker most times. RY4's are an excellent choice a lot of times and are pretty satisfying most times to beginner vapers given the vanilla and caramel mixed with the tobacco flavor hits sub-conscious cues, being tobacco is first processed in a sugar water, then a vanilla water, then a caramel water, and finally a chocolate water bath, or all 4 before drying to promote more nicotine out of the leaf, do not most times detect these flavors during combustion consciously but the sub-conscious does.

Brands I can suggest to look at with good tobacco selections and been around a while
Halo - Offers sample packs
Johnson Creek - Offers sample packs
Indigo Vapor - Has sample packs available

Single Flavor I turn a lot of first time vapers onto
Space Jam's "Eclipse" - I vaped on this for almost a full year as my staple tobacco flavor, rich bold cavendish pipe tobacco flavor with vanilla to tone the boldness down a bit.

hth a bit.

Check the juice subforums several tobacco flavor threads, maybe find something that sounds interesting.

Funny part is its what I looked for too, used to use one called congress(parliament) that was pretty good. After a couple weeks I lost all interest in tob flavors

But be warned nothing can reproduce the flavor of burning paper and leaves. But I know several people who say this is pretty close

There is only one way to produce the taste of burning tobacco, and we all know what that one way is.

hint:
Unflavored e-liquid best duplicates smoking because the only ingredient that e-liquids have in common with tobacco is NICOTINE.

I agree. I would just use unflavored, and if that wasn't good, drop a little of the Mountain Oaks net or Halo tobacco flavored ejuice into the mix, until it tasted good to you.

    @somdcomputerguy, what does Turkish Bold taste like, does it remind you on a cigarette brand?

    I mix it (80/20 or 70/30) with a Mojito flavor, and now sometimes a Pomegranate Cherry Bomb flavor instead. Initially I bought because of the name only, I thought it would taste more like a Camel than a Marlboro. I do prefer a strong tobacco taste, and I use to smoke Camel's, which I preferred over M's, to the point where I just wouldn't smoke if I couldn't get a Camel Wide. That was 6 or 7 years ago, and I started smoking Natural American Spirit (Perique) until 5 months ago, so I don't even remember what a Camel tasted like.. I don't remember what a tobacco cig tastes like now! I have no desire to refresh my memory either!

    Try something like Apache from mountain oak vapors. They are NET juices and have a very bold tobacco flavor. I was not a cigarette smoker but was a dipper with an occasional pipe\cigar.

    Edit just FYI - NET juices use real tobacco to flavor the juice.

    ^^^^This

    Been vaping for a year and just now stumbled on NET juices that, to me, are just like the real deal. I smoked Reds and Lights for 30 years.

    I tried True Leaf Vapor Amber and it blew me away. Couldn't believe I was vaping and not smoking.
