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.
