Small rant on tobacco flavors.

[Mr Pickle]

I have been searching for a good tobacco flavor over the 5 or so months that I've been vaping. I have found a few good flavors, mostly bad flavors though. Then there are the few REALLY bad flavors. This is what I have a problem with.

I know that taste is based (mostly) on opinion, but I think everyone can agree that there are some things that OBJECTIVELY taste bad. I can say with great confidence that many of the flavors I have purchased taste so awful (and unlike tobacco) that I can't accept the thought that the vendor thinks they are good.

Take GoodeJuice.com for example. I bought their "house tobacco" flavor. This juice tastes like Pine-Sol smells. In no way does it resemble anything close to tobacco, but I digress. This flavor tastes bad. Not my opinion, not a subjective view...it tastes bad as a fact.

I just think that there needs to be some kind of standardisation, based on where the vendors are getting their DIY flavors. That way I would know, before I spend the cash, that I dislike the main tobacco extract that vendor X uses to flavor their juice. This would be easier for everyone.

Thoughts?

I agree. Most of the juice out there is TERRIBLE !

I'd say 90% of the juice I've bought is still sitting there unused.(I've gone to DIY, but I like Menthol, which is easy.This may be hard for many flavors.)

The only way around this is to only order small quantities. If the Juice seller doesn't offer $2 or $3 sampler quantities I'd just forget that seller.

I think subjectivity is greater than allow for. If the producers published their recipes that might help but maybe not.

My fav tobacco flavor is not exactly like burning tobacco - thankfully. It's hard to say what it's like because no one thing dominates. Once could imagine a wide range of things in it - caramel, coffee, chocolate, almond, marshmallow, vanilla and more, It might be the one that most people hate (generic tobacco). I hated it at first but appreciate it a lot now. Plus I get more vapor and TH from it than i can get from DIY pure VG and / or higher nic. Haven't worked that out yet ...

Yeah, I got very frustrated finding a good tobacco pre-mix, until I realized (1) tobacco flavor will never taste like a cigarette, and (2) It is too subjective to other peoples tastes. This is what got me started on DIY-ing my own. I can add what ever I wish until I get what I like.
I have had (and still do) many failed attempts, but also have found a few all day vapes that I will never do without!
ecigexpress has a lot of options for flavors. Personally I love the DK Tobacco at about 3-5% with 1% EM (sweetener) and a drop of well diluted tobacco absolute (be very careful of absolute it is too strong without severe dilution!)and of course diluted Vape Wizard (it's magical!)
I also have a mix of 1-2 drops (into 10mls)of all the tobaccos I have
Desert ship
DK
Shade
Absolute
EM
with a touch of caramel
and Vape wizard.
If you use this as a standard you can add all kinds of stuff to it like more caramel with some vanilla to = RY4 for instance.
It's like a hobby now. lots of fun, and when you get it right it's cheaper in the long run.
I can make 30mls worth for the price of 1 10 ml pre-mixed flavor.
So my advice is start DIYing! $#%@!! it up now and then, experiment! When you vape a flavor you mixed yourself it is the most satisfying vape you'll ever have!

Dekang DK-TAB juice.

That is all.

I think that is what I have - but because of where I get it I can't be sure. But for every two who love it, sure to be 1 who hates it

But the only people that could hate DK-TAB are people that hate puppies.

If I get a good batch of unflavored nic and vape it for awhile, I have a mild tobacco taste in my mouth. Unfortunately, it makes me want an analog sometimes.

Vermillion Rivers Kentucky Premiums are good.

My Freedom Smokes has some decent ones.

The only bad juice I ever got was from a smoke shop. Man that was nasty. By following the suggestions on this site I haven't had a bad juice since.

IMHO, tobacco flavors to not get better regardless of how much they cost. So vape a cheap one and allow enough time to acquire a taste for it. This is probably the best scenario. Dekang USA mix or Dekang Camel (Turkish).

You should try Vaperite.com tobacco flavors.

I have found anything bearing "American Mix" or "USA Mix" to taste awful, like the smell of an ashtray. The RY4s are too sweet, too nutty, too downright delicious in the best cases to taste much like tobacco.

I have found that every tobacco I've tried to basically taste like I'm vaping the moisture from a sweaty gym sock.

+100 for DK-Tab

Well, then, no reason to have a thread. You already have all the answers, and nobody elses opinion matters. Flavors aren't subjective - you are the authority.

They are an ACQUIRED TASTE. Vape same juice for at least a month.

MAN! I knew there were some weird juice flavors out there, but "puppies?" Yuck!

(Must be Korean)

 

[chatter97]

I sound like a broken record, but you definitely should try vaperite's tobacco. From what I understand he makes it extracted from actual tobacco soaked in pg. Not sure how it works, but his tobaccos are awesome!!!!

I just want to find the liquid that smoketip used to use in their tobacco reg flavor carts. They changed the flavor and I cant find it anywhere.
