I switched from analogs to a blu in the beginning of July, and my new Revolver Elite should get to me tomorrow. (Wish I'd realised how many options there really were before I ordered my Blu. I thought it was pretty much BluCigs, Green-Smoke, and goofy looking things the size of a sharpie)

Anyway, being a bit "bargain conscious" I decided to get empty carts and a bottle of juice as that seems to be less than 1/4 the cost of the cheapest carts I can find.

To get me started, I've ordered Revolver's "Dark Tobacco" blend, but I'm hoping somebody can point me to a brand of juice that will taste as much like my analog of choice as possible.

I regularly smoked American Spirits. For anyone who doesn't know about them, they're additive free, whole leaf only, and have about 25% more tobacco packed in. That means they've got a VERY tight draw (even the "lites") and they have a very strong flavor. (and cost about twice as much as anything else)

For anybody who has smoked other forms of tobacco, like cigars or pipes, they have a lot more tobacco flavor, and a lot less "cigarette" flavor if that makes sense. They've also got a TH like a sledge hammer.

If my opinions of the blu flavors would help, I didn't care for vanilla at all, the cherry and menthol were cute novelties (although they taste great if you use them while drinking a diet pepsi), the coffee was actually pretty decent and the tobacco would have been really good if it had about 5-10 times the TH and tasted half as sweet. I find it interesting that the tobacco comes across sweeter than the java.

So, any ideas on a particular juice to try? (not quite ready to start mixing my own)

Former American Spirit non-filter smoker here.

The only one I tried that would nearly fit your criteria is Halo's Torque56.

It does not taste like an AS cig, but does have a rich leather/woody flavor with tobacco tones that I found very nice and rich enough to be satisfying.

Halo is not cheap compared to most juice. Link just in case they are hard to find.

I'm sure others will have other recommendations.

Almost all of the tobacco flavors I have tried had a sweet taste. I haven't tried a lot of tobacco flavors so I am sure someone else can help out on that department. Hubby recently ordered a cherry smoke flavor Viking Vapor Cherry Smoke Tobacco and he did not like it that much. When we first tried it it had a strong cherry flavor to it. After it sat for a couple of weeks and we tried it again it had a much stronger smoke flavor with a hint of cherry. While I am not a big fan of this flavor, I don't hate it. I would say that after the flavor sat for a couple weeks, it is probably the closest flavor to mimicking smoking that I have tried though. But at this point I am more interested in fruit flavors.

I'll always recommend Backwoods Brew to any new vaper. Don has some of the best tobacco flavors out there, and he has awesome customer service.

If you do like the darker, heavier tobacco flavors, Don definitely has the market cornered in this department. Most of his juices are a touch sweet, but I kinda like that. Didn't think I would, but I do. The tobacco flavor is definitely heavier than the sweet in the majority of his blends, however. His "Espresso" is the absolutely perfect all-day vape, IMHO, and I LOVE darker, deeper flavors. If that's your 'thing', give him a try. Backwoods Brew
