Nobody sells anything that taste just like the taste of burning tobacco, paper and 4,000 chemicals.

I suspect what you really want is something that simulates the experience (not the taste) of a cigarette. If that's the case I would suggest a Ry4. That's what I found that most closely simulated the throat hit and feel of smoking a cigarette. But the actual taste is nowhere near the same.

I recently found that I really love several of the tobacco flavors of Heather's Heavenly Vapes, such as their Heavenly Tobacco. But, again, nothing that tastes like a cigarette. Goodejuice is supposed to have some good tobacco juices also.

Supposedly, there are even some juices that taste somewhat like the smell of an unlit cigarette. Frankly, even when I smoked, I didn't care for the smell of an unlit cigarette.

That vapin' chimp beat me to it again. :)

Another idea is to try some juices that a tobacco PLUS something else. For example, HHV has Georgia Peach Tobacco (which tastes like fresh peaches on top of a mild tobacco) and Caramel Apple Tobacco (which I have not tried - yet - but supposedly tastes just like caramel and apples on top of tobacco).

I love the Georgia Peach Tobacco.

First off, I recommend getting a variable voltage device, doesnt matter what kind. You can adjust the voltage to give you the same kind of hit as a Marlboro Light (I smoked them for 25 years) less voltage means less hit and less vapor but you will quickly find your sweet spot. Adjusting rhe voltage up will give you more of a full flavor hit and vapor.

Then give Bobas Bounty or Gorilla Juice a try they are the closest Ive ever come to a"Light" in vapor production, throat hit and taste while not being nearly as nasty as an analog.NOTHING is going to mimic that taste exactly but these come close.

The banana in the Gorilla Juice isn't likely to come remotely close to a MB light.

Somebody else posted elsewhere in the forum that they make their own, and he
thinks it's close. Here's roughly what he posted:

Marlboro Reds

2 drops Tobacco Absolute
2 drops Flavor Arts Virginia
1 drop Flavor Arts MTS Vape Wizard or Smooth Flavor Concentrate (Flavor Arts).
5ml total including nic/pg/vg

If you cut back on the absolute, it might be more like a light.

The banana in GJ is very faint, at least for me and 100 percent VG produces the same "weight" as a Marlboro Light used to if that makes any sense.

I thought Vape Dudes American Standard tasted about like them. I used to smoke them.
American Standard doesn't have a lot of flavor, but when you are used to smoking a MB
light, it doesn't either. You can get 40% off your first order at Vape Dudes with code
vapedudes

I would also recommend Vapedudes. I've tried the "classic tobacco" flavor and it tasted about as close to the real thing as I could find so far.

They have a few good tobacco flavors in addition to those you and I mentioned:
Campfire is pretty good. Blueberry tobacco is good, blue honey is real good, and
I really like the Grand Prairie, which has a good clean flavor with a very mild
butterscotch background (I think it's butterscotch).

Each vendor's tobacco flavored line of juices is a new experience and they are ALL tasty. They are all reminiscent of the experience of smoking a tobacco cigarette. Some of my favorites that remind me of the richness of a cigarette are Dekang's RY4 and DK-TAB. These are both from the original juice manufacturer, based in china, the Dekang company. Don't worry, you can buy Dekang's RY4 and DK-TAB juices from American companies that resell them to the US public. :) I have tried some US made tobaccos as well, which are ALL fantastic in their own way. You will also find that some tobaccos are more bitter, and some are more sweet, some are more savory, and some are more sweet. yknow? Flavor is very... weird in that it can change as it builds up on your tongue. For instance, many find that a mixture of vanilla, caramel, and nut, is reminiscent of tobacco. These are actually the flavors that make up the Always Popular RY4 that MANY US vendors actually replicate and offer on their websites as their own RY4 recipe. RY4 is a fantastic vape and it can also change from vendor to vendor. I usually end up enjoying most of the tobacco flavors I've tried. They are all complex and fun to vape.

You are lucky to feel this way. I have quite a few bottles that I just can't force myself to vape.

I will agree that each vendor seems to have their own flavor profile, and one vendor's RY4 can be very different from anothers.

I personally would say HHV's heavenly tobacco is one that most reminds me of a cigarette, however as has been stated you won't find anything that "tastes" like a cig. The physics just won't allow it since we aren't actually burning anything. I'm also quite a big HHV fan, so take my suggestion for what it's worth.

My recommendation to the OP would be to purchase as many samplers as he can afford (emphasis on SAMPLE SIZE BOTTLES) and find out what he likes to VAPE, because he isn't going to find Marlborro lights in a bottle.

Yeah, it would be great if indeed 'all' vendors tobacco flavors were tasty. To each his own,
but as far as juices go, 'all' of anything is not tasty - it's hit and miss.

Here's a thought: Get into DIY. There are many tobacco flavors to build upon, and it's a
lot cheaper than vendor/flavor hopping. You could still sample several vendors, but it's
so easy to DIY that you could always having something brewing at the home front. About
any tobacco flavor you can think of is available from one DIY flavoring vendor or another.

Well when I said ALL of them are tasty, I meant... Most. lol. Most GOOD vendors have GOOD tobacco flavors in my experience. Some of them are just not my speed. For instance, I am addicted to BackwoodsBrew tobacco line, but heaven's heavenly vapes tastes purfumey to me. Taste is completely suggestive. Another thing a lot of people have found is that your taste buds will change over time for 1 reason or another.. The cigarettes you've smoked the past few years have hurt your taste buds. You'll soon see that you will be able to smell better than ever, and you will be able to taste foods like you've never remembered. :)

Not I. I like most of the ones I try. Some of my favorite juices are Dekang tobacco base juices haha. Love em. $10 for a 50ml bottle? Can't beat the price. Same nicotine going into your system, but less vapor because they use more PG and (probably) water than VG haha. I like Dekang tobacco juices in a cartomizer, they don't clog up the fill material and I get more life out of my carto. For attys they are great too but I hate them in 306 atomizers. I hate any light juice in 306 atomizers I'm finding... They don't have enough weight to push the previous juice down far enough to wick in my experience. The only tobacco flavor I truly disliked was from Liberty Flights. It tasted just like plastic smells. Very few tobacco juices totally disgusted me. You really can't skimp on them though. The more popular juice vendors make some really good tobacco juices. The only cheap tobaccos I've liked were from Dekang and Hangseng (the top 2 china juice makers) If you order cheap tobacco from US vendors, they are usually very simple in taste.. Usually a weird tobacco base with strong vanilla or caramel. Never a good tobacco base with slight hints of other flavors. But the more expensive juices from the popular vendors, they are usually at the very least tasty. Some of them are not what I go for (bitter, or sickeningly sweet) but all of the tobaccos from good reviewed vendors have been at least vapeable.
