One other thing, I find that ECBlend's Ry4 is the juice that gets me closest to the sensation of smoking a cigarette (i.e., the throat and chest hit). Notice that I said SENSATION, not TASTE. It doesn't TASTE anything like a cigarette. I think when people say they want a cigarette taste, what they really want is the sensation.

I've said this on other threads and I haven't seen anybody say "yep, me too." So ECB's Ry4 may only hit ME that way and nobody else.

I can't say "me too", but I can say it doesn't matter. It might help someone else find their juice and it might not, but it's awesome that it hit the spot for you.

As i turns out, I am just not into the tobacco flavors maybe, because I really enjoy DCVs Strawberry mint.
And I just discovered RAWR Razzmatazz.... yum.
I guess I like these fruity flavors! I still get to try Antidote, Serenity and Proper Green Tea!

Stoked to have found a direction to explore!

I seemed to have gone in a similar direction as you. When first quit...Casablanca from BWB really gets the credit for keeping me away from analogs those first few days/week, and then I tried their Melonbacco....started liking that a bit more. I ordered a ton of different tobacco juices because of my experience with Casablanca, but as my taste started to change, etc, I just wasn't getting into them for some reason. I started trying some other fruit flavors and I really started to enjoy them. Then I found Rawr...and in the last 2 months I have probably ordered 20-30 juices from them....and somehow I can't think of one i don't like. I think alot of us go on the tobacco juice hunt thinking its going to be just like smoking...and it just isn't. I do remember my last cigarette though...which was after I tried casablanca and melonbacco...and OMG the taste was HORRID!! Now that I vape things like Razmataz...or Serenity (Raspberry with coconut cream), etc....I can't even imagine picking up a cigarette again...it would be insane given the awesome flavors I can vape, versus that nasty taste & smell! Even if I am out for a few cocktails,with everyone around me smoking my brand...there is just no appeal at this point. It does take time, but I'm glad you have found some juices that you enjoy. If you're like the rest of us,k you'll probably switch it up from time to time, order new flavors, etc....especially since the options are literally endless.

OK, here's the bad news: Odds are about a thousand-to-one against that you'll ever come even close to getting the same taste and overall experience from vaping that you routinely got from smoking. Comparing smoking to vaping is essentially an apples-to-oranges thing. They are two very different animals with only the most superficial similarities.

Here's the good news: Within a relatively short time (quicker for some, longer for others), you won't want vaping to be like smoking. Your brain will adjust; your palate will change; your knowledge, expertise, sophistication, and awareness of what's available in the marketplace with regard to hardware and juices will all grow, and the idea of vaping-as-a-replication-of-smoking will fade away. Gone for good, along with that nasty smoking addiction.

Instead, your current aggravation will in all likelihood be replaced by a new (and sometimes equally frustrating) quest: To achieve the very best, most satisfying experiences that vaping can offer, without comparison to anything else---smoking, eating, whatever. That one may stick around quite awhile.

And, just as an aside, reading and posting on ECF will make it much worse, at least for your wallet. LOL.

Woo hoo! It took me a while to figure out what really worked for me - as it happens, I dislike most fruit flavors and menthol/mint, although I thought I'd like those. Chocolate flavors don't ring my bell either although I ADORE real chocolate. (I like bacon too but I tried a bacon/french toast juice that was sort of ewww.) I'm liking almost anything with authentic coffee taste, cinnamon and caramel
At first I didn't think I liked tobacco flavors but I've found two from Backwoods Brew that I really like - Casablanca and Honey Flue. They both have a slightly sweet and nutty taste underlying the tobacco-y goodness. There's a current thread titled something like in-your-face tobacco flavors that's worth checking out; I'm going to try a couple more.

I have been vaping for four weeks now, and not one actual smoke during that entire time. I find that Highbrowbacco - Cigar from E Cig Juice @ *_Highbrow Vapor_* - E Liquid Store, Shop our Store for Ecig Products. is a very stout full flavor and the other tobaccos they offer are all good when you find yourself missing the analogs. I have no actual desire to return to combustibles.

Hang in there bud! You are gonna love tasting and smelling food and other things again soon!
