I am not sure about shipping to Canada but these vendors have some incredible Tobaccos. I glanced for if they do but did not find anything. Also these are NET juices, except ACB and Radioactive which use Tobacco Absolute.


ethervapes - indulgent tobaccos - Dark Sky and eclipse are really good

mountain oak vapors - bold flavor - I like Sunday Morning mixed with Full Virginia Flake

Nicoticket - ACB, Radioactive, The Virus, and Wakonda - all great
 
I got a tobacco sampler pack from TFA (out of California). No issues importing flavours to Canada
Yes this requires having Nic base and VG / PG

Honey Black - very strong! A good additive to a flavour profile
Turkish - very similar to Honey comments, but very floral at times
Black Mild - required insane amount of steeping but a great cigarillo taste after
Western - pretty much DuMaurier - gives a certain element that is missing from all others. I used this as a base for many blends
RY4 Double - great base flavour - add dashes of other 'baccos to round out
Cubano (Cigar) .. ummm pass

Apple Cider Vinegar (always use a drop or 2 per 10ml)

DIY is the way to go, as everyone's tastes are subjective

I've come across a great b&m vendor in the Toronto uptown area. The shop is called e-cigarettes.ca, located in the Eglinton and Yonge area. The owner has his own line of tobacco juice blends that I've found to resemble that of a traditional cigarette/tobacco. England's Finest is my personal favourite. His blends are 50pg/50vg at variety strengths of nic level. He will also custom mix ratio and nic level to your preference upon request.

edited: I should mention, there is a website of the shop you could visit http://e-cigarettes.ca/ and also carries ever so sought after Jugheads juices. Hope it helps.

I have tried a few tobacco flavors and so far I like some el cheapo stuff from the cheap tobacco shop best as authentic tobacco. Clayton brand Tobacco flavor $3.17 /10 ml. Still looking for something better though. My journey has just begun. Thanks for all the insight on those flavors/brands. Will try the export one.

My 2 cents worth - East Coast Vapes (ECV) Canadian Player. I prefer tobacco vapes. I've tried all of Halo's tobaccos, a couple from Maple Leaf, two from Canada E-Vape and one from Flavour Crafters , but I keep coming back to ECV's Canadian Player. Its the closest flavour to actual Players brand cigarettes (my smoke for 40+ years) that I've found. It's a little sweeter, but still has that flavour that I love. I vape their standard PG/VG mix (60/40) at 18mg nic - good flavour, good throat hit, good vapor.

East Coast Vapes, Canadian Player :thumbs:

I bought a whole bunch of samples from them last summer (still working on finishing them off), however, none of the NET's I bought are available anymore. They were good, too. I don't know why they discontinued their NET line and created a whole new menu. I've been meaning to write and ask them. They have some interesting new juices, though.

I'am a daily Cuban cigar smoker, any juice that is close to a Cuban ? I have 10 samples coming, but it doesn't looking promising from all these reviews !

Cubans? None. Not even close. Cuban tobacco is very special, very different from Dominican or any other variants. Even in tobacco world nothing comes close to it. I can smell Cubans from a mile away :)
But it's just my very personal opinion, you might find the juice that just works for you. One advice if I may, steep your juices well. Really well.

You can't imitate that Cuban tang ...LoL
If you live in Canada, you are stupid to smoke anything other than Cubans when Dominicans cost as much and even more than a Cuban, its the minerals in the Cuban soil that make a Cuban a Cuban !

I have started vaping today. I went to DashVape on Adelaide and bought my iStick50 with Subtank Mini. They have a lot of flavour but not many tobacco flavors. I tried many but all of them was so flavourish. Since what i want is to quit smoking, i need something that tastes similar to an actual cigarette that gives the same throat hit. All of the ones i have tried were coffee, nut flavor. I didnt wanted to leave the store without buying a eliquid so i got something called Boba's Bounty. After we set it up. It was not so good. After I came home I realised Its really not good. I started caughing (I used to smoke 1pack a day Marlboro Red - Belmont). I cant even vape with 15W. Tried small puffs, slow puffs, changing the air intake. Than I realised I was so excited about vaping and completely forgot to mention the PG/VG ratio. It turned out they gave me a 100%VG 0%PG 12m nic eliquid. I dont know who can able to smoke this....

Tomorrow I will try some more in different stores and see if i can find anything close to Belmont. This time im not going to forget PG ratio.

Welcome to vaping! iStick50 and Subtank is excellent choice. I tried Boba's Bounty and it's OK but tastes like a dark chocolate. IMO, it has nothing in common with tobacco, don't understand why they call it tobacco juice. But it's all very subjective.

I suggest to start with pure menthol while you searching for a perfect tobacco flavour that works for you. Also, steep your juices, it helps to reduce that nasty artificial undertones of freshly mixed juices. 12 mg sounds about right, you can always reduce to 9 or 6mg later.

Whatever you vape - stay away from analogues :)

Today I went to Ecigarettes Store on Yonge&Eglinton after @revolverfunk mentioned here. They have around 15 tobacco flavoured e-liquids. All of the e-liquids were 50PG/50VG. I got honey, wood taste from almost every tobacoo flavor i have tried. (Sun curied - Flux curied - England blend - Menthol box - Captan's - Turkish - Reserves - RY4 - Americana - Honey flux and some more) Americana was the least sweet in my opinion. I guess its really hard to find a tobacco flavor without sweet texture. Only Americana gave some throat hit, but still made strachiness in my throat.

I must say, all of the tobacco flavors I have tried made scratchiness in my throat. I find a fruity flavour named Beetle Joose with okay throat hit and less scratchiness compared the all the others so i got that one. It seems like its really hard to find decent tobacco flavour so im going to try other menthol, mint flavours with 70PG/30VG. Until I find a good one..

@ canzz
Forget about finding that perfect tobacco flavor that you are use to. It's not going to be there. I've tried about 15 different kinds. The only thing you can possibly do is to get something close To what your use to. And remember that when someone gives you their favorite juice to get, that may not appeal to you, because everybody's taste buds are different. You just have to buy the smallest bottles you can get and try for yourself.

Now that being said VictorC has started this thread with a good review on Flavour Crafters juice. Some of them I had already tried, but one he did not have in his review was Flavour Crafters Navy Cut Tobacco. It has a slight vanilla and nutty taste. (most tobacco juice will have some slight taste like that). Me and the wife love this one and it tasted close to the cigs we were use to. I started Jan 4 2014 with this one being my first try and after about 2 hours I knew that I was done with cigs. (at least I hoped so). Fast forward to today I have not touched a cig since Jan 4 2014. We had 4 other flavors to try that were OK but we liked the Navy Cut Tobacco the best. I'm getting in to DIY right now but if that don't work out for me I will be back to Navy Cut Tobacco. Could give them a try and maybe you can get some free samples also like VictorC did.

And yes VG will have a sweet taste to it so I would say to stick with 70/30 PG/VG for now unless you are allergic to PG. I started with 70/30 18mg and that is where I have stayed so far. 18mg is like a mild cig. 24mg is like smoking Export A with no filter. I tried Flavour Crafters Export Tobacco in 24mg and found it to harsh and strong for me, but you may like it.

Hope this helps you a bit and stay of the stinkies.

I should just add that if I could not get Flavour Crafters Navy Cut Tobacco any more for some reason I would switch over to Vapen Juice
Play Hers--- 18mg or Vapen Juice 555--- 18mg. Both can be bought a lot cheaper at Canvape.com
