As far as juice goes. The reason i ask is I have a few batches now and they seem to have gone rancid and the taste is almost like plastic. Even my wife said my breath smells like burning plastic.

So the next batch will be kept in a cool place, My question is are there any recommendations for what is the closest to real tobacco in flavor and hit wise.

Also a good expresso or coffee distributor would be great if it actually tastes like coffee.

I'll put the next batch in a cool place so it's not just sitting around in the heat. I know vendors have a bias for their own product but would like to hear from customers that think one or a couple are more like the real thing than others.

vaping is vaping & smoking is smoking .
Sorry but Not one e-liquid on the market tastes like a Cigarette.

How about you start looking for a flavour you like as opposed to something that tastes like a cigarette.

Hit wise Totally Wicked and Janty are good.

Janty heavy shag does kind of taste of tobacco or the nearest I have come accross but the throat hit is so strong it makes me cough.

Not had any liquid go off but being in scotland there is not much chance of it overheating :D

Try keeping it in the fridge and just decant small amounts for each day.

Yep, Johnson Creeks sample pack V2
Cignot's Cappuccino

Their marlboro and tobacco flavored is somewhat similar to a smoke.

It can actually get hard to tell, Fud, so many things change the taste of the e juice; the atomizer is clean, the cartridge is new, the cartridge is used but freshly washed, is all the soap residue off the cartridge,........then you get into what type filler is in there.

It just goes on and on.....

Unfortunately I ordered from Johnson creek a while back when they channged the whole recipie. And will try the sample pack, hell it's only 20 bucks to try it out so no big deal right. Menthol i'll probably throw away or give it to someone.

I just noticed another thread about burning plastic from a 510 cart, I hope thats not it or maybe just needs a good cleaning and not the juice. I know those things get hot if dragged on a lot. You can feel the heat just holding it while taking long hits.

Have you tried RY4 or 555 from Vapor Kings? (don't forget the "s" at the end). I'm a noob, but of the 3 or 4 vendors I've tried so far, I think their stuff tastes the best and puts out the most vapor.

Use some unflavored juice to clean out your atomizer and your palate before doing a "taste test". Their chocolate and coffee are tasty, as well, but I ruined mine trying to mix them together. Too bad the highest nicotine level they sell is 24mg., because I need 36. Maybe I'll email them and beg...

Taste is subjective; I am sure you realize that from being on this forum. Any flavor in vaping form is hard to do well. For a tobacco flavor, I have been pleased with Johnson Creek Tennessee Cured and Original flavors.

Coffee flavors are even more difficult to reproduce well. I used to be a big fan of the original formula of Johnson Creek Kona flavor. Their recent reformulated coffee flavor is good, but not great. If you find a coffee flavor that blows your socks off, I am all ears.

I've tried at least 7 different distributors for juice and hands down, for me, is DIY flavorshack. Dawn is a FLAVOR artist and the balances are just right. She made a peanut butter cup for me recently that was out of this world.

I have tried at least 5 different coffee flavors and DIY flavorshack Cappuccino tastes like a strong gourmet french roast, no sweetness. Rich and strong I always get the high flavor and the throat hit is just right.
