I love tea, and thought that I'd enjoy vaping it.
Well, I bought some Black Tea flavored liquid from a brick and mortar place called Create-a-Cig. Their juice certainly TASTES like tea... but ... it needs to not taste like tea that's been watered down twice over.

I'd love to find just a straight strong tea flavor... no lemon. That nice, sharp taste from a strong black iced tea would be great!
I'll even take an earl gray since I love that tea in particular.

Anyone know any good vapes offhand? I may not return to create-a-cig again if their flavors are that weak... :(

I love tea, too, and drink a good bit of it - lots of kinds. I hadn't been much interested in a tea vape except the usual ice tea/fruit flavors because I figured it'd be too hard to capture. I haven't got around to trying but two yet but I'm looking at Ahlusion's (my favorite vendor, anyway) and here's what they have in the tea dept.:
Che-yen Tea in Orange Blossom, Star Anise or Cardamom
Chai Latte
Berry Shangi-la Tea (black tea w/berries and coconut)
Black Peach Tea
Black Pomegranate Tea
Boba Tea (in several flavors)
Caramel Pear Black Tea
Chocolate Mint Rooibis Tea
Cranberry Autumn (Black Tea w/Orange and Cloves
Ginger Apple Tea
Ginger Orange Oolong
Jade Dew (Gyokuro)
Masala Chai
Cherry Tea
Mystic (spiced) Tea
Passion Tea (Mango and Ginger)
Yerba Mate

I've only gotten to the Caramel Pear Black Tea and I thought it was wonderful, very authentic (he uses only naturally extracted flavorings in it), with distinct layers - the black tea is very present.
The Boba Tea is... like Boba Tea, really delicious but not what you're asking about here.

But I've never see a straight-up plain tea vape (and of course your Earl Grey is flavored with bergamot- I love it too). The Gyokuro and Mate (not a tea proper) here look to be straight up. You might try emailing Wlad there before you order and telling him just what you're longing for - he'll talk with you about adjusting your order and is extremely skilled.

AIV has a popular line of teas also - they're reputed to be quite light, maybe for flavored white tea lovers.
:)
Now if I could just afford more very good REAL Gyokuro... sigh.

ECBlends has a customize your own tea option. You can order Earl Grey or Black tea straight up,with extra tea flavoring (I think there are two available options: extra flavor and double extra flavor). On their website, there is a "create your own" section, with "tea your way". There, you can choose the type of tea (green, black, Earl Grey, or chai) and any added sweetener or flavorings (lemon, honey, fruits, etc.). You can choose "none" for sweetener and flavorings, and you will get plain, strong tea. It is $2.50 without extra tea flavoring (I think it's $0.45 extra for double extra tea flavor) for 5 mls. If you like strong tea, I would get extra tea flavoring. Only downside is that is will need a good steeping, and until you know if you like it, I would go with 5 mls. You could always get one with extra tea flavor, and one with double extra tea flavor; my "strong tea" could be different from your idea of "strong tea".
Steeping can go a little faster if you take the top and dropper off, and put it in a cool, dark place (away from children and pets).
