Initially I filled up a tank took a large inhale, exhaled, and thought "What the hell did I just purchase". I considered tossing it. So I left it sit for a for few days, just got back to it the other day, and wow I am impressed. In my opinion it tastes like a sweet yeasty soft pretzel with a very slight cashew taste. Not bad at all. Not my all day vape, but I keep finding myself craving it. It's really an all around solid and complex flavor that I think I will grow to love. I'm impressed.

Isn't Tribeca the capital of Khalistan

:blink:

LOL

It is impossible to synthesize the combustion of tobacco leaves taste without making an extract of something already burned.

I have yet to try any e-liquid that resembled a fine cigar or cigarette as it tastes when I smoked it.

In talking with a flavor chemist this is really impossible because there is no combustion in vaping, even if one were to take the smoke from burning tobacco and condense it all you would have are tars and carbon particulate, which will not taste like the smoke we are all used to.

My first and still my favorite. I have yet to nail down the taste. I get vanilla, caramel, very slight menthol and a light tropical fruit. Whatever it is it works.

It's fascinating to read what other people taste in various juices. To me (and my admittedly cigarette-dulled senses), Tribeca just tastes like roasted nuts of some sort -- maybe almonds? Hard to say. It has a really strong savory-baked-goods vibe that's quite pleasant in small doses, but I couldn't vape it consistently and during daylight hours. It seems a perfect complement for like an after dinner cocktail, though.

I have two large bottles that I've revisited several times over the last coupla weeks, but I'll keep at it. Maybe the flavor (or my perception of it) will change over time.

A yup, like I said earlier it is impossible to make an e-liquid that tastes like what we smoked, be they will try!

My flavor chemist and were talking about this, and I said the one who can duplicate it will be a gazillionaire...but she was pretty quick to tell me that it is just plain highly improvable, and virtually impossible with the technology for flavorings we have today.

I personally love Red Hots, Red Hots with Menthol, Peach with Menthol, Root Beer, and Coke.

I also love Cappuccino juice in the morning!

The Coke and Root Beer are pretty kewl, you get a great throat hit, and can almost feel the carbonation bubbles!

I definitely tasted almonds initially, and still get a slight hint of that. It' definitely a unique flavor.

I believe the best pure tobacco flavors are Torque and Prime. Prime has become my ADV and Torque helped me get off of analogs. Tribeca I liked at first but now that my taste buds are more sharp, I find it too sweet and slightly chemical tasting. I steeped it over 3 weeks so it wasn't because of that.

I'm finding anything w/vanilla or Carmel is hard for me to like because I taste it as burnt or chemical. I love both flavors in food but hard to find it balanced in a juice that I like.
