Looking for some input on tobacco flavors

Hi, everyone. I'm a noob, so please have patience with my ignorance! Been vaping for about a month, and started out with Premium Tobacco juice from ecigexpress.com. Loved the smell - just like a freshly opened pack of analogs. However, I found the flavor to be very muted, and I wanted to find something similar but a little more robust. Ended up getting some Robacco from bluemistvaping.com because the user reviews on their site said that it tasted like a freshly opened pack of cigs. Umm... No. I think their selection, shipping, pricing and service are awesome, so I feel bad saying it, but that Robacco made me feel like throwing up. It was just incredibly bad - for my tastes, at least. Tried cutting it with some straight VG, but it was still unbearable for me. So, knowing that RY4 is a huge favorite, I ordered some of that from vikingvapor.com - just got it in today, and while it's not bad, and is certainly vapable, it's not hitting the spot. My wife won't let me order any more juice right away (can't blame her!), but I want to plan ahead for my next order, so I figured I'd ask for some help. The thing is, I'm a little scared to order anything else, because I don't know how many of the tobacco flavors out there are going to taste like the Robacco. So, all you tobacco flavor vapers, can you give me some tips? It'd be especially helpful if someone who's tried Robacco could steer me in the direction of a juice that tastes absolutely nothing like it! As I said, I'm looking for another juice that tastes like real cigarette tobacco smells; I'm not interested in any 100% VG juices, I'm looking for something in the 24mg-36mg nicotine range, and I'd rather not spend more than $15 per 30mls, if possible. So... Advice? Thanks!!

Try Desert Ship from FreedomSmokeUSA to see you like Turkish blends. It is $4 for a small bottle and the nutty and somewhat pungent smell of Turkish tobacco reminds me of a freshly opened pack (and I am not the only one Desert Ship hits the spot for). I like 70pg/30vg. And I recommend FreedomSmokeUSA Cocoa eliquid for cutting the sweetness of any tobacco and adding muscle to it - just add a bit to the cart or carto. Most cigs have cocoa in them. Cocoa was the key for me. I also liked to change up the flavor of Desert Ship by adding vanillas to mellow it or oRYental 4 to add a bit of caramel sweetness. For a more subtle version of a Turkish blend, try Backwoods Brew Casablanca, a complex Turkish blend w/ a bit of cocoa. Backwoods Brew is also a great place to find all-day vapes.

And read the New Members sticky thread about tobacco flavor - starts out with somebody trying to tell people they don't need tobacco flavor but most of the comments are people suggesting tobacco flavors.

Liberty Flights 5ml bottles are $2.35 each and only $3.00 shipping. They have one of the largest selection of tobacco flavors of any supplier. I really like their Home Counties tobacco (in 24mg strength) which is a very smooth tobacco flavor. Probably closes to Marlboro or Kent in flavor. Understand that RY4 is very popular but most US suppliers have never been able to match the original flavor from DeKang. The best RY4 I have found is from Janty"s USA shop.

Liberty Flights: E Liquid - E Liquid 5ML - PG - Tobaccos

Janty: Janty electronic cigarettes, e-liquids and carts - E-LIQUID 5 ML

I have found all of Halo's tobacco flavored liquids to be very robust, a bit too much for my taste (I am currently vaping Fusion, which is unflavored). Of their available selection, Torque 56 is my personal favorite when it comes to something comparable to tobacco. It's a bit pricier than the majority of liquids out there, but their quality control makes their stuff worth it to me.

E-liquid / Smoke Juice by Halo

I'm strictly into plain tobacco or unflavored liquid, and have sampled about a dozen tobacco flavors from several vendors. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything that "tastes like real cigarette tobacco smells." Quite simply, this is because we're not vaping the tobacco leaf itself, and the burning element of tobacco is nonexistent.

Hope that helps.

:)

P.S. Just wanted to add that although I prefer a lighter tobacco flavor, I don't compromise when it comes to throat hit (god, that sounds perverted). Torque 56 delivers.

I also started out with "Premium Tobacco juice from ecigexpress.com" just like the op. I'm into trying some DIY now but can't replicate it. I know it has a strong but sweet chocolate taste but just don't know enough about the tobacco flavors to get close to it. I've tried amber, 7 leaves, desert ship, hypnotic mist flavor and more but none seem much like that one.

If anyone has any ideas, it might help the op too because if he liked that Premium Tobacco juice and could come close to replicating something he likes, maybe he could adjust it to be more robust without starting from square one by trying so many new flavors.

I have not found a juice flavor that really NAILS an analog taste...and from what I have read elsewhere, it is nearly impossible to do so. That being said, I will recommend be weary, and if you are going to sample flavors, to do so with MINUTE amounts (i.e. sample size bottles, like 3mL)...because I decided to try out a "MLB" (can't use the real name, lol) and in all honesty, as I told my wife, it tasted like what I would imagine it to be like to lick a wet dog with sugar sprinkled on it. It was NASTY. There are so many different/better flavors out there, that you won't really want to go back to tobacco flavors, IMHO. Hope this helps a bit. In short, try them in small amounts...stick with what you like...but don't be close-minded, you just might discover you have a favorite "off-the-wall" flavor that you just want to vape all day and night! Be well.

Agree with BaronRocco 100%. I bought 20+ 3ml samples, from some highly reputed vendors that have masses following them, and loads of the juices got rave reviews but so far only found 3 out of those that I actually liked.

Everyone's taste is different and you have to figure out by trial and error what you like. Derivations of vanilla that I was sure would be great just were not for me, and why I decided to order some flavors and start DIY'ing. Actual names of highly reputed juices that were not for me are not mentioned because I don't want my personal tastes to negatively impact some really fantastic (customer service & to the masses great juice supplier) vendors.
