Let me alter the wording of the question and subdivide it into three categories:

1. Are there actually flavoring ingredients that taste like [smoked] tobacco? No.
2. Are there actually flavoring ingredients that taste like [cured] tobacco? Sort of.
3. Are there actually flavoring ingredients that taste like [natural] tobacco? Yes.

Just my opinion. YMMV.

There are also several naturally-extracted tobacco flavors and macerations available from many great vendors. It all comes down to what sort of tastes you're looking for, honestly. Fresh-opened-pack-smell flavor, or cured tobacco flavors. Smokey ashtray-like flavors, or cigar flavors. There's so much out there, it's like the biggest menu in the largest restaurant ever when it comes to picking out what's best for your own personal tastes.

The journey is, however, quite enjoyable. :vapor:

Ive tried a few different tobacco flavors, nothing is going to have the same taste as burning tobacco, as a previous poster mentioned. If you can pick up a bunch of different sample tobaccos. You can run the gamut from sweet to spicy and pretty much inbetween, also pick up some samples of things outside of your comfort zone, your new favorite vape may just be the one you never considered. Good luck.

Hello, I don't think alot of companies understand the natural tobacco extracts like Want 2 Vape / Vapenstein.
A real top notch company , again far as a natural tobacco blend.........made in house/lab just , can't be beat.
I have read that it has taken over 2 years sometimes to develop some tobacco blends , to get them just right....

Best Wishes..........

House of Liquid supposedly has some great tobacco vapes like Puros Naturales and Cigarillos Naturales, Goodejuice's offering is equally popular, though I haven't had a chance to try their blends as of yet.

(EDIT 2: Also, Mom and Pop Vapor Shop is purported to carry excellent tobaccos)

Heather's Heavenly Vapes has some amazing extracted tobacco and pipe tobaccos (their blends taste as described, and so far have failed to gunk up any of my attys or cartos) that would likely appease even someone who wasn't a tobacco vaper, and Want 2 Vape's extracts and regular blends are quite tasty as well. Very vapeable, and I haven't had a bad blend from either vendor yet.

The Vapenstein offerings from Want 2 Vape are very impressive, if you want tobacco with a serious punch, give them a try.

I've tried London, Stockholm, and Louisville and none has come close to disappointing me, if anything I have to step away from them after a while because of how much it reminds me of smoking (this isn't a burnt ashtray taste, this is pure, honest-to-goodness tobacco). Stockholm is a take on snus, so the flavor is different and alluring simultaneously.

I'm sure there's vendors I haven't mentioned, as I haven't really tried them all. But heck, I have been very happy with my experiences with HHV and W2V. Another up and coming vendor of note is The Plume Room, offering a different take on naturally extracted tobacco with some unique blends that I've never seen before.

EDIT: Also, Want2Vape's Atty Refresher is an indispensable product if you drip. It even works to clean the coils on a CE2/CE3. :D

Made my i06's fire up like brand new after months of use.

All things said, there is a serious flavor difference between vendors that use flavorings versus those that use natural extracts. You will know it when you taste it, believe you me.

I have to say that I've never met ane e-liquid flavor that imitates a burnt/smoked tobacco. On the other hand, as the folks here pointed out, there are lots of good ones that taste/smell like real tobacco - just not burnt. One of the juices from goodejuice I tried was so much like the smell of freshly opened cigarettes that I had a bit of a conniption and had to put it aside lest it drive me back to cigs. :D

Another very important point: you have to try them yourself, if you are looking for a particular sensor/emotional response. People's taste buds vary wildly. I just saw a discussion in another forum, where one person's reaction to a juice was "wtf, this is horrendous", another one's was "spot-on tobacco", and yet a third tastes honeysuckle. Just FYI. :D

Burning and vaporizing juice are two different experiences. If you crave an exact tobacco taste, you are probably going to be disappointed. If you are one who still hangs on to a few cigs while vaping, you will eventually decide through comparison that your ecig tastes better than your real cig and wonder why you still want one here and there.

It's not hard to APPROXIMATE generic tobacco cigarette taste. As people have said, one is a burning leaves, burning paper action and the other is a steamy flavored vapor experience. The two things that matter are replacement of the action of inhaling and exhaling and the action of the hand to mouth habit. Ecigs provide nicotine, but not MAOI's, which smokers are also addicted to.

The short answer is that once you find a tobacco flavored juice that is close, you will decide that a real cigarette tastes nasty. You may also find that once you let vaping take away most of the cigs you smoked, the rest can be dropped after a period with no withdrawal cravings. Knock it down to less than a half pack a day for a couple of months and you can suddenly quit the rest and happily walk away vaping.

Lots of good posts in this thread. I especially like what DaveP wrote above.

Thanks primarily to vaping, I've been off cigs for going on two years now (after a 38-year addiction). I started out rolling my own with very high-quality Virginia tobacco (Three Castles from England) and eventually ended up smoking regular cigs from Indian Reservations made (mostly) without chemical additives (because of the much lower cost). Now, two years later, I don't have any wish to smoke, nor do I seek to replicate the smoking experience with vaping, although I do love natural extract tobacco flavors.

I admit with some chagrin to not liking the Vapenstein blends much, although I have great respect for Donelly's and the good doctor's efforts in this regard. I never smoked pipes or cigars, so maybe that's the reason I'm not in love with London, Stockholm, etc. Their flavor profiles go a little further out than my palate does.

I'm primarily a tobacco flavor vaper, although I've branched out into enjoying fruits and dessert liquids now also. Still, I return to tobaccos as my daily vapes of choice. The rapid appearance these days of so many newer artisan juicemaker/vendors using naturally extracted tobacco flavoring is great for my palate and terrible for my wallet.

Gandalf from Heather'sHeavenlyVapes is my most recent infatuation, but easily a hundred or maybe even two hundred good natural tobaccos (both straight and in blends) are available in the retail marketplace (many of which I have). So many choices, so little money (left). And don't even get me started on the DIY possibilities.

For those of us who love tobacco flavors, it's a great time to be a vaper!
