It's hard - or impossible - to get tobacco flavors correct in an e-liquid. You can get hints of the flavor but in the end it isn't a direct equivalent, and some fans of any specific brand will like or dislike the result of a try at reproducing it.

The best way to approach this is to think of it as a new brand with many variations. Your old brand has gone under, and you need to find a replacement. It's just that if you can only accept a close version of your old brand then you are going to be disappointed.

Get a ton of different tobacco-style liquid samplers from different suppliers, and also get some concentrated flavors. By trial and error you'll find something you like. It's far easier to reproduce the smoother, rounder flavors of US cigarettes than the sharp, acid taste of UK cigarettes (might be the difference between flue cured and air cured tobaccos, not sure). Sorry but I haven't tried Canada cigs.

There is a sort of tobacco-like flavor that is very popular with vapers, called RY4. It was originally invented by Ruyan as their #4 blend, hence the name. It is a smooth, rich flavor with tobacco, caramel and vanilla tones. It's really nothing like any real tobacco but nevertheless it presents an e-cigarette well - a new kind of tobacco flavor. There are lots of RY4 variations to try.

Also remember that what you like, someone else will hate. What they like, you will detest. It's just the way it is - you have to try stuff yourself. In matters of taste, advice is useless.

I was on a site a week or 2 ago that had about 40 or so diff tobacco flavors patterned after just about every major cig out there and am pretty sure I saw Players in the list. I'm sorry but I do not remember the site but will add it if I do.

However you will likely find something out there that pleases you more than Players. I thought I wanted a particular tobacco flavor as well but soon figured out that that flavor was actually just the best of a bunch of crappy flavors that the analogs present. Kind of like saying I want the best tasting dogs:censored:t available. I still vape mostly tobacco flavored juices but found I like the flavor much better than the cig taste.

Also after you have been off the analogs for a few weeks you sense of taste (and smell) will begin to return. When this happens don't be surprised if your favorite juice is not longer very tasty to you and you have to begin again to look for the 'right juice'. :vapor::vapor:

I'm new to the whole game so please bear with me. I currently smoke about 2 packs a day and was wondering if there was any juices close to the taste of Players, deMaurier,or Export A? I can't wait to get my order after reading so many good things about e-cigs. Thanks in advance for any input. much luv

I just ordered something called Canabacco from Northernvapor.com it's supposedly as close as you can get.
