Just a note. For me, vaping a nice tobacco extract is very different than that nasty taste/smell of a cig. I know, and appreciate, more about tobaccos now then when I burnt it. The whole sensation and flavor is very different. Even the "cig" type NETS don't taste like a cig to me, but clean, pleasant tobacco. Not ash and yuck. JMHO
I agree wholeheartedly.
Henry Etta, my comments below are more in response to your post. I'm sure Clnire knows this already.
Combustion from smoking is very different to heating up an agent (PG/VG) with the flavour of tobacco infused from macerating it.
Vaping tobacco extracts brings out the tobacco flavor in a different way, actually, almost in a more natural way. That is, the way it might taste if u tasted the matured tobacco leaf. That is why it is often said that cigarette extractions taste more like a freshly opened packet of cigarettes might taste. In that sense, it's almost like the experience of tea leaf. (I am starting to really enjoy tea leaf extractions by the way)
You can taste the different types of tobaccos and the separation between them in a vape (Patriot and Confederate are good examples of NeTs that have 3 or more different tobaccos which can be identified when vaping).
After a while you will be able to vape a Net blind folded and be able to pick out which tobaccos are used. 'Oh yes I can taste Cavendish, and there is some perique in there alongside the Virginia'. That sort of thing.
Even with Net.coms cigarette extractions it is no longer the taste of cigarette but 'burley and virginia alongside each other'.
Technically, no vendor extracts cigarettes. Cigarette extractions taste terrible. I've tried it and my liquid carried overtones of the awful chemicals present in cigarettes.
Cigarettes are like the McDonald's of tobacco. The cheapest mass produced poor quality tobaccos are encased with a lot of sugar and chemicals to make them taste 'good' making them palatable to draw right into the lungs. Cigarettes were never designed to taste great but to deliver a chemical hit. It's no wonder more people are dying since the advent of the cigarette in the 30s and 40s. Prior to that, people smoked pipes and cigars which are mostly organic tobaccos cased with sugars and just a few organic additives. As you know, cigars and pipes are puffed, not inhaled and are more about the flavor.
Vaping in a sense takes the best of both worlds.
Most cigarette extractions, and specifically net.coms cigarette extractions are extractions of good quality organic and chemical free roll your own tobacco (American spirit) or pipe tobacco shag (finely cut tobacco for a pipe). Other vendors who label a juice an 'analog' or cigarette extraction are extracting roll your own tobacco or a pipe that is predominantly virginia and burley or maybe some Turkish tobacco or a concoction of varietals that when extracted just taste like how one might imagine a cigarette would taste or might remind them of a cigarette because of their dryness and mild woody and leafy flavour.
So don't be afraid of Nets that vendors call 'cigarette' extractions so long as you stay away from cigarettes
