Tobacco flavor for a friend - Please help

Okay, so I have persuaded a friend to take up vaping. However, she is dead set on replicating her favorite analog flavor, Marlboro Lights.

I have had the conversation with her many times that she will never find a flavor exactly like it, and that most newbies quickly realize that analogs taste horrible and therefore switch to more preferable flavors. Unfortunately, she is extremely hard headed. She insists that she is a hardcore 2 pack a day smoker and will not be satisfied with any other flavor. :facepalm:

So my conundrum....what flavor, and from which supplier do I suggest to her?

When I began vaping I knew I hated the taste of analogs and therefore went straight to fruit and dessert flavors, so I have not experience with tobacco flavors. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

All of those vapes are nice etc... especially torque...

Banjo suggested vaperite's fresh leaf - vaperite is awesome and fresh leaf is the best thing in the world to some folks... though quite different than a burning cigarette taste. I suggest all tobacco vapers try a fresh leaf...

If you want something that tastes like a marlboro light, I'd suggest Vapor Station's Tampa... in my opinion... it provides the most similar experience to a real marlboro light in terms of taste and throat hit etc... it's a bit harsh for me... but I think it's on the money.

I'm very partial to NHaler's tobaccos, specifically, their Marlboro, which is named USA Mix so as not to violate copyright feathers. Their Kent is simply outstanding and for some serious throat hit, try their "Camule" (Camel). Very genuine and clean flavors, no creepy aftertaste, great throat hit.

I'm having this same issue with a friend. She smokes 305's and insists that she get something that tastes exactly like it. I told her she won't find it, but insists she smoked a prefilled cart from a friend who bought one at a flea market or gas station or some such place that was perfect. I naturally thought it was MarBro or MarlBro or one of the other knock offs they fill the prefilled's with. I brought over 5 different tobacco's for her to try, and she insists everyone one of them tastes like "warm tea with sugar in them". I brought over Dekang RY4 24mg, Liquid Express "The Original" 26mg, PureSmoker 555 24mg, Stritly CJ Flue Cured Tobacco 18mg, and some generic 24mg MarlBro bottle i had laying in the fridge. She says they all taste sweet and evidently all she wants is a harsh nasty throat rape vape. Anyone else run into someone this hard headed, and what would you suggest? I need a pure, harsh tobacco flavor. Was going to get the perique suggested but seems the fruity aroma would just cause me grief.

Alien Visions' Flue Cured 24mg has been the closest I've found to an analog, but it does tend to be a *little* sweeter because it's PG free...

It does suck having to explain to those who insist on cigarette flavors that you're not going to find much (if any) juices that mimic the "taste experience" they're used to. I pretty much have insisted on tobacco flavors to this point, but have now started the transition towards more flavorable blends: I really dig FSUSA's Banana Nut Bread & TastyFinger; I also was given a Fuzzy Navel and another citrus-y juice that combined wonderfully.

The trick might be to steer clear of tobacco flavors altogether...help that person discover a flavor they enjoy and go with that...dunno.
