Realcig and Maxboro sampler sizes have been tossed out. If i wanted to vape grandmas perfume i would go do so. Not just a little bit of perfume scent/taste, A LOT and totally unvapable. Ive let them sit a week and only seemed to get worse.

FSUSA has nice customer service and quick shipping but their tobacco juices have been pretty terrible from what ive vaped.

Left the cap off for 24 hours, recapped and put a drawer for a week...and like i said, the perfume got worse. I dont like giving bad reviews on here but i wouldnt want someone buying a large bottle of either thinking theyre getting tobacco flavors...i taste zero tobacco in them.

Some of these flavor names are rather misleading. I smoked marlboro for over 10 years and maxboro tastes nothing like it...more like the taste in my mouth when walking through the perfume/makeup section of macys. lol.

Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean someone else won't. It happens all the time. All the time...There are loads of vendors around, go elsewhere.

I also just recently recieved an order from Freedomsmokeusa that was un-vapable. I got the Wyatt Earp and the RY5, they both taeted very "dirty" with a terrible after taste. Most disappointing of all was their Hypnotic Mist. It tasted like chemicals with a "scratchy" after taste. After all I heard about how good their flavors were, especially the Hypnotic Mist and the Wyatt Earp. I even emailed Freedomsmokeusa too ask if maybe they were a bad batch or maybe I did not order them with the correct mixtures. I ended up being very disappointed with Freedomsmokeusa and I'm very leary about placing another order with them. I just can not believe that these so-called favorite flavors (Hypnotic Mist and Wyatt Earp) actually were supposed to taste like what I recieved. If so my taste must be way,way off. I glad I only ordered samples.

The important thing to remember that no matter who makes them, the only thing that will taste like tobacco are analogs. Nothing can mimic the burning taste of paper and tobacco. For me, the taste of the tobacco flavors are absolute crap no matter who makes them. They remind me of how a dirty wet stale ashtray smells. For some though, they enjoy the flavor and report it tasting different. In the end, our taste buds are all different and you will have to experiment on what works best for you.

For me - I'll stay with my TV Peach Cobbler, FSUSA Tiramisu and other fruity ones that I have.

When I began vaping I spent a lot of time & money trying to find a juice that matched the flavor of my regular smokes & it took quite a while to discover that it could not be done. So, just look for a flavor that can get you through the day without an analog. I order juices from 4 different suppliers, and one of them is FSUSA. Their RY4, Coffeex, Hopscotch, and Peanut Butter Cup are all excellent, and their service has always been first rate. If FSUSA doesn't do it for you, try Gourmet Vapor, VapeRite, or PureVapes, but don't expect any of these suppliers to provide you with a truly tobacco tasting juice - it ain't gonna happen. And, now that I'm off analogs, the last thing I want is a juice that tastes like one.

You should try Freedomsmoke usa's Purecig. Taste just like a analog. It got me to quit analogs 2 months ago and I have been vaping since 2009 but just couldn't give up those last few analogs Jmo

Oops, yea...purecig was one of the perfume ones. I wrote it as realcig in the first post, sorry about that. No good...tastes like old lady perfume. As for trading them...they were only 3ml bottles with some drops taken out of em so not sure who would want those. All in all...a 3-4 dollar loss, definitely not a big deal.

Got my shipment in from bluemist today, 3 different tobacco flavors and none of them taste like perfume whatsoever. Its definitely some sort of additive that fsusa is putting in there...i dont like it and im staying away from there. Maybe FSUSA can chime and and enlighten us what they are putting in their juice to make them taste like that.

Im actually in the process of putting together a ecig juice review blog...

Good for you on finding some tobacco flavors that you like!
Just like Banjo and afrazier5 stated you are not going to find a tobacco flavor that actually tastes like an anolog. The best you can hope for is a taste that will mimic the Smell of fresh tobacco.

It is important to share both the negative AND the positive experiences that you have with a particular vendor. But do keep in mind you might have wanted to contact the vendor you had issues with and post their response as well. Give the vendors a chance to make it right and or get a satisfactory explanation and share that as well. If nothing satisfactory comes from your interaction with them then share that too. :2c: Good luck on the review blog, I will look out for it.

It's Flavourart flavor. There's one in particular called cowboy blend that I "think" is a common factor in these juices that to some of us taste/smell perfumey. I like FSUSA juices but not their tobaccos. I don't think I can find a real good tobacco juice in a Flavourart product. I like their Wins/Ton and PallMall when their fresh, but after they age they get a real dry taste.

There's no way off sense of taste, just different—but we knew that.

In the end, there's little point to threads of this sort; not no point, mind you, just little. All they tell you is that a particular individual is wired in such a manner that a particular juice doesn't appeal to them—a singular item of data paddling atop a hopelessly subjective ocean of data.

Except for the mention of sampler sizes. That's the moral to the story, the fragment of wisdom to take from it.

I heard that, I put the wyatt earp and the carto I contaminated with it in a glass jar double wrapped in news paper and duct tape in the trash.

I didn't want to chance it breaking and stinking up the trash can.

Sorry to hear about your experience. I have run into perfume tasting juices in the past. I have bought Maxboro and Purecig. I didn't think they are bad but just not my favorites. I must say i didn't taste perfume. I wonder if you did get a bad batch. David from FSUSA is a very good communicator. Tell him about your experience. Sorry, I read you did contact them. When I started vaping I looked for tobacco the way I knew tobacco tasted. I gave up on that. I now look for satisfying replacements for tobacco that don't taste like food, sweets, pastry, fruit. I like FSUSA's RY4. I hear people describe FSUSA'S juice as Jalapeno, Pepper, and a few other after tastes. I just don't get that. I'm not saying that the people claiming this don't get that taste to them, I just don't taste the same. It's that saying again. Subjective. I really think that some people are sensitive to the flavorings that they use. I hope you find a replacement juice that you like. It sure makes vaping more pleasant.

I've been vaping an Espresso from FSUSA. It's OK but seems to lose it's punch after a couple of vapes. They did include a 3ML sample of RY5 with my order and I think it is simply amazing! I'm ordering a bottle. I was able to condom fill three carts and I'm vaping my last one now and am a bit sad I will need to wait for the mailman again. Their RY5 is one of those vapes that when I pick it up is "man! this is good!"
