this is by no means insulting or...in depth, just off the top of my head and after a couple days use, i'm not very fond of the "tobacco" flavors. i have some marlboro carts and some 555 carts, and by no means was i a heavy smoker, but they do give the sensation of sucking in smoke. even leaves a bit of a rough throat feeling, which honestly after tasting some sweeter stuff, i'm very tempted to start getting away from.

i know it has been said before, that with all the options for sweet flavors and less harshness, i may be going that route :) don't get me wrong, i think...these probably feel closer to a real cigarette that way, and substituting that feeling and taste is probably what will get someone off the analogs, so don't take this as a taste insult, just as an observation from a social/weekend smoker who enjoys more the "act" of smoking than the full on, tobacco, rough taste of an analog.

I have been smoking for over 20 years. Just got my first electronic cigarette kit 2 days ago. The company I got it from doesn't sell juice yet so, I ordered 2 flavored juices from a different company. One of the flavors was a "Marlboro" flavor, which is what I used to smoke. The other flavor was not a "cigarette" flavor at all.

The "Marlboro" flavor was close to what I used to smoke...but not quite. Kind of like bumming a smoke off someone else who doesn't smoke your brand.

It was OK...until...I tried the other "not a cigarette" flavor.

Holy ****!!!

I threw out the "Marlboro" flavor, which wasn't cheap.

I ordered some sample packs from a couple companies.

I always knew my cigarettes smelled/tasted bad but... I was/am hooked and, I had no alternative.

Until now.

You're right about hilton and marlboro. Marlboro tastes kind of like piss actually.
Regular tobacco, you'd be surprised, isn't actually bad at all. It's sort of like the fresh/fruity side of tobacco. Other than that, for some reason ry04 tastes just right to me. It's not very tobacco-ey though. The fruit flavors are good, especially apple.

When I first started esmoking back in August I went in with the idea that I would NEVER EVER want something that wasn't tobacco flavored.

Why would anybody want to inhale strawberries?!?!?!

Well. I was wrong. I very rarely buy pure tobacco flavors nowadays. RY4 is my staple and it's more along the lines of dessert than tobacco.

Sometimes when I think about people smoking analogs I think: Well...why would you just smoke that if you can smoke so many wonderful flavors with e-cigs? Wouldn't you get bored? HA

I just started vaping - tried the tobacco flavor that came with the ecig, ughhh.

Tried the menthol - mmmmmm good.

Smoked menthol analogs when I was a kid, but been smoking Winston's for about 30 years. I have no problem at all dumping the tobacco flavors and I am going to be trying all the "fruity" and other flavors there are.
