I'll start by vendor
V2 Cigs:
Red-- An important thing to note about V2's flavors is that they tend to be very inconsistent from one batch to another, as they are constantly monkeying with their flavors without telling their customers. That said, virtually every incarnation of V2 Red has been unpleasant to me. The first batch I had was a very fruity/nutty flavor with a chemically aftertaste. Every batch since then has been progressively more towards the chemical flavor and farther from the actual nut taste, which was better to begin with. Not really a flavor I recommend, although some people swear it tastes like a real cig to them.
Congress-- Very “green” tasting, for lake of a better word. Some people have compared it to celery. I don't get that, but it does have some kind of vague taste of vegetation to it, like green hay. Not disgusting, but not great. I can't vape it for very long without getting sick of it. It does have a faint nuttiness to it that reminds me distantly of a burley tobacco, but it's a stretch.
Sahara-- The only one of the three V2 tobacco flavors I actually like. It has a kind of sweet graham-cracker taste to it, and is slightly perfumey with notes of caramel. I would not call it tobacco, not even close, but it is actually very pleasant in and of itself, and the fact that it is so hard to place the flavor makes it unique. It tastes like what a hookah smells like. It's really tough to compare it to anything, but I like it, and I recommend at least trying it. It's fun to vape on it all day and try to contemplate how to describe it.
Vapor4Life:
Smilin Cigar Special (Full)-- This is a very interesting flavor. It has a pretty strong bite to it, like a clove cigarette blend, and is probably the closest thing to a cigar that I've tasted in a synthetic blend, which is honestly still not saying much because most cigar ejuices don't live up to their hype. Not sweet like most tobacco flavors. It also captures the fermented taste that most tobacco juices miss entirely, but it's a little too out of balance for me to be really convinced. It's close though.
Cuban Cigar-- Smells exactly like armpit odor, and tastes pretty much the same. There's really nothing good I can say about this. It's not complex, no bite, no tobacco-- just sweaty pits. Yuck.
PrimeVapor:
Triple Nickel Light-- This stuff actually reminds me of pipe tobacco, and is the closest synthetic I've tasted in that area. This flavor is complex and VERY nutty, like burley mixed with smoked peanuts or cashews. The only problem I have with it is the sweetness; it's a little overpowering. It makes an excellent dessert vape, though, like a nut-cake, and I do definitely enjoy it, I just can't vape it all day.
Rawhide Red-- This is pretty good, and tastes like raw tobacco leaves (unlit). Has a very mild spiciness to it, not spicy like pepper, but spicy more like pie spice or nutmeg, and is fairly sweet with notes of molasses. I would compare it to Redman chewing tobacco or something similar. No smokiness whatsoever.
Morning Blend-- A fantastic juice. Perfect blend of chocolate, coffee and tobacco. No one flavor stands out too strong, they all merge very nicely. I think this would be an absolutely PERFECT tobacco imitation if it were mixed with Triple Nickel Light, since it misses some of the nuttiness that would make the tobacco pop more. But overall, very good.
Vixen Vapors:
Hazelnut Tobacco-- Hazelnut completely overwhelms the tobacco flavor, and the two do not mesh well. Has a funky aftertaste as a result. Very one-dimensional and not pleasant. Don't recommend.
FreedomSmokeUSA:
Cam-blend-- Smells exactly like cheap perfume, and tastes the same. It's like they took their Black Tea flavor (which is a nice flavor) and kept making it stronger until it turned into something unrecognizable. I took 3 puffs of this and tossed it. The flavor really lingers in tanks too, so be careful.
Vapure:
Blackberry Dry Blend-- Tastes like a very mild, enjoyable blackberry black tea. Unlike most fruity vapes, it is not too sweet. There really is no resemblance to tobacco, at all, but that is irrelevant here because it is just so nice the way it is. I really like this blend.
Dry Blend-- Exactly the same as the Blackberry Dry Blend, but minus the blackberry. This is alright, mainly due to its mildness, but I prefer the Blackberry version better.
Fine Cigar-- Tastes like rose water. It's not even a bad taste, it just taste exactly like mildly sweet rose water. I have no idea how anyone blended this juice thinking it would taste like a cigar. If you want something mild and faintly herbal, then I recommend this.
Havana-- like Fine Cigar but waaay overboard on the rose, and with a strange fruit scent in it as well. Not good at all, and most certainly not what a cigar tastes like (or even smells like).
