True analog taste!!!

[frankbooth]

As per the title I'm trying to round up some new juices, the only catch is that I would like them to taste as close to analogs as possible. It's been near two months since i started vaping and have tried several flavors but i just seem to find a lot of them too sweet for my liking and I find myself craving for the real deal.

I actually broke down the other day and hit a co-worker up for one of his, and even though it didn't taste nearly as good as I remember that dirty taste was what I needed.

I read another thread that mentioned a few from gentleman's reserve that were pretty close and I was hoping that someone could chime in with a few more options, even if you didn't enjoy them I probably would.

Thanks in advance!!

Jugs Jokesmoke is pretty close to a DuMaurier, i even get the aftertaste as if i just had a Cig

Nice, I had planned on grabbing jokesmoke among a few other flavor's from juggie's, and I do enjoy DuMaurier but was mainly a Players smoker.

At a vape meet in Perth, I had a taste of Royal Reserve (from CapitalNicFit) and it was definitely the closest to a "real" cigarette that I had tasted since going off the stinkies. I haven't bother to order any, since my taste preference has seem to migrated away from tobacco flavours, but boy was it ever close

It tastes like a fresh pack of smokes smells ... if that makes any sense. I still have the bottle as I find that I am not fond of the tobacco tastes since giving up the analogues.

My vote would be for Mom and Pop's RYO or Want2Vape's Paris. Most people think they're a little too cigarette-like. I like 'em!

Makes perfect sense to me and sounds right up my alley.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far.

We always read on the forum that taste is subjective - and it's true - but I've been and I still am looking for a great analog-like juice and I know I can help you.

My favorite e-liquid is the Honey Cured Tobacco from Pinkspot. It is very close to a cigarette. Grimmgreen made a video review about this juice and didn't like it even though he said it tasted like a cig, and there's this guy's video that could help you make your decision: Pink Spot Honey Cured Tobacco juice review - YouTube

The second analog-like juice I would suggest is Alien Vision's Bobba's Bounty or even better, their 555. They are not as close to a real cig as the first one I mentioned but there's something about these that makes everyone looking for an analog taste go nuts.

Before I end this post, I have to add that in my opinion, Jughead's Jokesmoke tastes nothing like an analog. It's a great "neutral" juice, though. To get a better cigarette experience I'd go with their juice called Roll'eeze. It's an aggressive juice that feels a lot like a real cigarette that would be pimped with licorice...

Now that you vape and your taste buds change over the next few months you may not want a true cigarette taste but a vape that satisfies you as though you just had a cig. For myself I found that certain flavour notes in some tobacco types where more of what I needed to not crave cigs, not the whole enchilada of raunch. Halo Torque56 was it for me, just the right flavour notes to keep me interested, satisfied and not wanting to light up a cig.

BTW, Johnson Creek does not ship to Canada. I wish they did as they are one of the few ISO certified manufactures and bottle in glass. Halo, is in the process, or awaiting their ISO certification.

Dekang b&h was the closest I got. Very dry no sweetness. It's gross, and it kept me off smokes when I first started.

I posted in another thread; Prairie Blend from GR is a Virginia tobacco with a bit of a sweet honey after tone for me. Rugged Blend is just nasty ... it tastes like a cigar, cloves and cayenne to me. But the combination of the 2, separately or mixed was the only thing that FINALLY turned off me cigarettes completely after months of cutting back. I'd suggest the sample pack of cowboy classics .. the only "bad" tobacco was TV Tobacco - something about the maceration process seems to kill cartomizers and gum up wicks in other devices. It's a very strong tobacco and I was pretty bummed that it would not wick properly for me.

People compare MLV's Canada Blend to Prairie, but personally I think they're nothing alike aside from being sweet. I really liked it as well, but to me it was a much milder tobacco with a maple sweetness.

Have to agree with DemonCleaner and I liked a lot of Dekang tobaccos, urbanvapour sells a Players that I believe is actually called King of Tobacco, but I didn't find it that close to a players, I more leaned towards the Virginia, despite being a bit different. Camel is a good strong/dry tobacco and the Belmont is not bad. If you don't mind the shipping time/risk healthcabin is only $6 for Dekang liquids and GR currently has a sale for $10 on a few.

Flavourcrafter's Mac Maurier is supposed to be great, but I haven't tried it.

I was looking for a Players or Belmont flavour and never found one that was dead on or even that close, I think at most you will get the smell/taste of a fresh cigarette like bidslayer said and never get the exact flavour of burning tobacco. That smell/taste combination and the nasty "ashtray" aftertaste from some strong tobaccos is what finally turned me off wanting to to smoke.

I'd agree with renthepen on Jokesmoke. I really wouldn't say it was a tobacco per se, maybe a very very mild tobacco, but to me it's neutral with tiny tobacco undertones - it's what I'm vaping most now, after the stronger tobaccos.

Edit: If you're around Roncesvalles in Toronto I can give ya the 10 ml of Prairie and Rugged Blend I have left from GR to try.

I agree that my taste buds have changes over the past few months, but I still crave the analog taste. I have actually tried Halo's Torque56 and was def not for me, I do however enjoy Tribeca even though it's quite sweet it still has a unique taste that draws me to it.

I had actually read your post on the gr in another thread and have them on the top of my list to try along with Royal reserve from capnicfit and a few others. I'm further west on the Qew but would be willing to drive your way just to satisfy my curiosity.

Shoot me a PM if you find some free time.

Try Dark Horse from Heathers Heavenly Vapes dot com
Tastes like marlboro light and none of that sweet stuff in it.

It also comes in 100% VG and up to 36mg strength.

Price is great at $12.00 a bottle.

If you add a little bit of Tribeca to Torque56 it totally changes! It takes the dry Bite of the peppery notes away and adds some caramel sweetness. It doesn't mask over top of the torque if drasticly changes it. Even a low 5% added Tribeca does it. This combo was the 'Fix' to stop my cig cravings and is my Al Day Vape for the past 8 months. I know this doesn't taste like a cigarette but the combo of flavour Notes is the closest proxy acting on my nervous system to quell cravings.

I've tried so many Tobacco flavours with much disappointment. Quelling the temptation for a real smoke is more important. Today I tried Halo's new Longhorn Tobacco. While I can say it really has a lot of flavour notes reminiscent of cigarillos, it did not abate my cravings. Longhorn tastes like a toned down, more refined Halo Captain Jack but with more flue cured Tobacco taste and a mild under note of Bourbon but not that strong Jack Danial taste of Captain Jack.

Mixing Mixing.... Double, double toil and trouble
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

Drum roll.........

Uggggh, cant do it!! It's definitely an improvement but it's still to overpowering. I tried adding more but even at 5/1 its still to strong of a flavor for me to enjoy it. I wish i could describe the ingredient in the Torque that ruins it for me but no words come to mind.

I just ordered ECBlends New RedBox. (even closer to a burning cigarette than the original I think it said.) First impressions was that it tasted like the smell of scorched ironing. I'm letting it sit awhile before making any further opinion about it. Next statement is only from my personal experience but as cigarette dirty and vaping dirty aren't equating for you, maybe consider the cigar tobaccos. Yes, they'll taste like a cigar, but to my mind have a better "dirty" flavor to them which is working for me very very well in the absence of the lighting one up. Just a thought for what it's worth.

Wow man! Give it up folks. Real analogs taste like .....!!!! find a vape that your taste buds like and stick with it, or better yet keep looking and enjoy the varieties of flavors. After six months of nothing but vaping I tried an analog and almost tossed my breakfast. IT'S THE NICOTINE YOU CRAVE not the taste of an analog ... maybe your vaping the wrong strength of juice.

 

[SloHand]

BTW, currently vaping a variety of lemon and lime flavors .... never thought I'd do that in a million years when I first started vaping.
