First up: Aroma e Juice's Sahara
Look, there are a ton of good "tobacco" eliquids out there that are complex, bold, extremely flavorful or any other adjectives you like, but how many can actually be consistently a pleasure to vape? In my book, not many considering how many there are. This for me is one of those vapes that is beautiful in its simplicity and should be on tap (like a quality domestic beer).
Yes. This vapes and performs flawlessly (great zip of a slightly dry, tangy "tobacco" flavor that never tappers; a generous amount of vapor for a high PG base; and a nice wallop of a throat hit that always validates the inhale.) AeJ's Sahara does not offend, disappoint or produce a bunch of question marks.
I don't think this tastes like a Camel per se, but I do completely get the connection (it could just be the power of suggestion though). This is a classic-style "Turkish tobacco" eliquid that should be able to satisfy any "tobacco" vaper that has been vaping for more than 2 years (it's kinda old school). Sometimes, nothing beats the old school.
However it's put, old school or classic-style--for new vapers, this type of liquid can give you a glimpse into why vaping took off the way it did. Do me a favor though, don't vape this in some silly, newfangled, the-better-version-will-be-out-tomorrow liquid delivery system!
Drip it and irrigate the deserts.

Turkish was my first flavor - got it from MyFreedomSmokes of all places, and I still keep that on hand as a go-to, mild, inoffensive vape.
Shockingly, on a WHIM I added some Dekang Turkish to a FastTech order - and LIKED it.
That's good news, as that now costs me all of $0.18/ml (50 ml size), free shipping, pre-steeped on the boat from China.
And yesterday, I ordered my very first DIY supplies. Mostly going for some simple flavors at first, but I threw in a bottle of Hangsen Desert Ship flavoring in the cart - what the heck...

It's a really mild Turkish - not at all a strong tobacco. But I like it.
It's also one of those things you can pour into a tank that's still got a little vanilla, or strawberry, or whatever - and get a nice light blend.

With liquids like Dekang, the prices are so low that it won't matter really. I am on a Turkish kick. I think "Turkish tobaccos" are some of the most agreeable synthetic tobacco liquids out.
I like tobacco juices that were made from tobacco. You can't beat them in my opinion. Do you have any favorites MR. MANN?
My favorite Turkish NETs would be from Quicknic (Humpback) and Ahlusion, an NET/synthetic hybrid (Sahara). There may be more, but I can't think of them right now.
Oops, I forgot about Wild Turkey from GoodeJuice for NET Turkish liquids. Anyway, next I am going to do a little mini review on either TurkishTech or Gamel. Until I decided to make this thread earlier, I hadn't ever realized that Turkish tobaccos eliquids was at the top of the list as far as my favorites. I guess when you vape mostly tobacco eliquids, the particular kinds (sometimes) just get lost. Not now. I am embracing the Turkish. LOL
I wonder where Vappormizer is???

AVE's Gamel
First, let me begin by saying that this is just my ramblings, it's not really a review AFAIAC. And anyway, with virtually anyone's take on a liquid, take 'em with a grain of salt. I really don't care about anyone else's mileage anymore, but I want to speak freely about how I feel about a liquid.
As with everything I vape, this is (currently) being vaped on a ProVari with a Joyetech standard 2.2Ω atty at 4.8v. Vapor production is fantastic and TH is superb (though, as I normally choose, this liquid is 24 mg, so that plays a role with TH). One thing AVE does well and is actually consistent with is TH on all VG liquids. Don't know how they accomplish this, but they got it down pat!
AVE's Gamel is an all VG tobacco liquid that is described as "A blend of sun dried Turkish and Virginian tobaccos." Okay, that plus an atty and a PV will get you nowhere close to what to expect from this liquid!
This liquid. OMG. When I first tried it, my face just about balled up like a crumpled sheet of paper! My eyes squinted, brow furrowed, nose bunched, and my lips turned downward. What is that taste? What is that smell*? Okay, so "sun-dried" tobaccos. That is in reference to the fermentation of tobacco. But this tastes, not just like fermented tobacco, but just fermentation, period. There is something very briny, fermented, pickled and almost vinegar-like with this liquid. Mind you, this is all still part of my initial reaction (not that it doesn't still give me those associations, it's just not solely that).
I think what allowed me to continue vaping it to delve deeper was that, even though it's all VG, there isn't that omnipresent sweetness with most eliquids. I can't stand sweetness where it shouldn't be, especially with tobacco liquids that are supposed to be straight-up with no guests. Of course there'll always be some sweetness there, but just it's barely there in Gamel.
Upon sitting with this liquid for a little while longer, I realized that as odd as it was to begin with, it also struck me as refreshingly new. Yes. The more I vaped it that initial day, the more I realized that this is (some form) of tobacco, and before I knew it, I was getting nervous about the bottle dwindling (that's always a sign of how much you like a liquid). There may be some strange flavoring in there, but this is tobacco*. No, not burning tobacco, but it hits in such a way, on the inhale and exhale, as to register as tobacco (nostril tickle, throat thump and the dry, biting aftertaste on the palate that can only be left by a tobacco liquid). Oh, and that funky aroma became remarkably fascinating (don't ask how).
I can't say I am able to distinguish any usual elqiuid qualities of a Turkish or Virginian tobacco, other than a general dryness, but however this liquid is concocted, it occupies a very unique place that no other tobacco eliquid, or eliquid in general, has come close to filling (and I didn't even know I had vacancies in my stash). Believe me though, this is not a recommendation, you have to be a particular type of vaper to handle this, but if you are that type, you'll love it. What type of vaper? Maybe the type that would enjoy an inebriated version of Vapor Station's Tampa on steroids (drunk and juicing, LOL). Or maybe the type of vaper that wants a unique tobacco elqiuid experience that is not based off of a children's cartoon, a smoothie bar, or a "coffee" house. I think my grandfather (miss you papa) would've loved this if he was a vaper. Ha! Papa vaping Gamel while frying up some cracklins. What a ride!
I honestly can't put my finger on why I love this liquid so much, but suffice it to say, this is one of the few bottles that if push came to shove I would grab in a pinch, even if I only could take what I could fit in my hands (and I don't have very big hands).
* With the intensity of aroma I get from this liquid, it may have to do with me placing the liquid (as I do with larger bottles) in glass. When you take the dropper out of glass, you have a much more intimate experience with the contents, from that open mouth of the bottle, than with a dripper top on a plastic bottle.
* This liquid does not come in zero mg because as Ben said, he can't get it to register at zero nic. Some of you may get where I am going with that.

Turkish vapes have been long represented abundantly in the synthetic tobacco area, often sold as some kind of alteration of Camel spelling or having to do with the desert. Popular probably because Camel cigs are so popular; same as Marlboro so we have so many of those "Cowboy" vapes.
Extracted tobacco on the other hand, has had a big hole in the Turkish area, though there has been a few added this year. My guess is extracted Turkish is just a harder ingredient to get right compared to more common Virginias and Burleys. A well done Turkish, bot natural or synthetic, often has some notes that can be polarizing. Some love those unique notes; some find them unpleasant and perceive them as perfumy, chemical, funky, or foul. I'll post my impressions on the handful of Turkish vapes I've had shortly..

Sahara Blend from Ahlusion. MY guess is it's extracted Virginia tobacco and Turkish synthetic flavoring. I wouldn't put money on that guess though. Turkish and Virginia is what's in a Camel cigarette (amongst many other ingredients) and this juice does indeed smell like a freshly opened pack of Camels. Vaping can't fully replicate the burning tobacco of smoking, and smoking can't even come CLOSE to what can be done in a vape. Camel wishes their cigs where this good. There is a lot going on, or little going on, depending on your mood. Is it dry, is it sweet, is it dry AND sweet? Layers of delicious complexity to think about; or, if you prefer, just a delicious non-distracting vape to vape anytime. If I had to choose only one vape to use for on-the-go vaping, this would be it.
Humpback from QuickNicJuice. This is a more straight-up macerated tobacco Turkish vape instead of the unique hybrid of Sahara Blend. I would guess Virginia tobacco is present too, though the site doesn't say. SB is in a league of it's own; and while Humpback isn't I'd say for me it's just as enjoyable, if that makes sense. Excellently made NET that about nails how I'd want a Turkish NET to be.
Turkish Twist from ThePlumeRoom. I like what Andrea is doing with her tobaccos, but I didn't like this juice. Don't know if it's the Turkish or the Twist that provides the odd note I don't like, but it's like acetone to me.
Turkish from Vapor-Age. An old juice from a vendor that no longer exists; gifted to me from Mr. Mann. I don't know what this is, I'm almost sure that if a synthetic flavor is being used, it's not providing the main flavor of this. This tastes dirty and authentic, closer to actually smoking a Camel than synthetic and extracted tobaccos I've had. At 25mg nic, it's too strong for me to drip at home as I chain vape, but it's been a great one to load up in a carto, or these days, an Evod, and take with me to work. One thing that surprised me, smokers who never vaped LOVE this juice. After they cough like crazy (I never warn that it's going to be stronger than a cig, because it's funny, and I'm kind of a jerk ) I tell them they may want to try a lighter drag. The few I've let try, proceed to take many more until I ask for it back. Too bad it's no longer available.

Thanks, J! I think I am going to settle down with these vapes. I like a myriad of tobacco vapes, but it's something about the Turkish or "Turkish" varieties that is able to keep my interest. Hopefully by the time I've exhausted, or gotten exhausted with, these ramblings I'll understand more fully what it is about these kind of tobacco vapes that takes the cake.

I love Sahara from Ahlusion, but it tappers off depending on how much you've vaped it. For me though, when the time is right and it's been steeped long enough, the initial sessions are very exciting.
I think I will do a back-to-back, or a versus review of this and Wild Turkey from GeJ. I welcome any other NET vaper to do so as well.
My take on this liquid was much more accepting, but, and that's a big BUT, I didn't like it. It was what I thought, the perfect liquid to talk about, just not to vape. Now does that make sense? LOL. I'll post my review of this liquid in a second.

Jerms, I hope you know that I love ya, bro! LOL. Sometimes, as much as I love a liquid (and this one is no longer available), I feel I just have to share. Now, of course I didn't send you Norwegian Shag from Vapor-age (LOL), but I really wanted someone else (namely you) to have a liquid I thought was indeed a rare vape.
The Plume Room's Toasted Turkish Twist (NET)
The liquid is described by TPR having "all the tasty tones of Turkish with occasional toasted notes & a high kick at the end."
Many Turkish tobacco liquids all focus on general aspects of Turkish tobacco: acidity, dryness and aroma. This one is billed as different and it is. Seeing as how Turkish is a more mild tasting leaf, this juice adds some extras to it that take it other directions. Turkish juices, to me, all have an element about them that triggers signals in my brain that register as "citrus." This juice adds a "twist" which, in my mind, exploits (maybe too much) that citrus-like element. I have no idea what the twist is, but it adds a rising twang to the juice that is slightly sweet but acidic, bright, and zesty.
The "occasional toasted notes" are in fact occasional, but not hidden per se. What gives the juice a toasted quality, once again, I don't know. Though Turkish tobacco is sun-dried, this liquid definitely has a toasted aspect which may overshadow the more mild sun-dried aspects of the tobacco's curing. The "toasted" parts of the juice give it a more dark, grounded feel.
The actual tobacco part of the juice shifts from being a solo tobacco to a tobacco/other flavor mix. The Turkish tobacco is not very forthcoming so it may be a little harder to follow its direction or pinpoint it. When I find it, it abruptly stops, which is neither bad or good, just a reality.
All in all, I find this juice to be worth writing about. I've had many liquids that I loved, but for some reason I didn't have the desire to write about them, or for some reason they just don't inspire thought. This juice inspires thought. My thoughts about this juice are as multi-directional as the taste(s) of it; but don't get it twisted, I don't particularly care for this (especially pitted up against her other offerings). Many of Andrea's juices are multi-faceted, whimsical, and creative--this is no exception. Hopefully this makes sense, but I can tell there is a woman's touch to this work. I can imagine many vapers would really love this liquid, but I don't know if those would be the same vapers seeking out a Turkish tobacco vape. Make sense?

Honestly, I could vape Sahara for weeks at a time. While I love the variety that vaping offers, there are only a few juices I've had that I could vape the way I smoked cigarettes -- one variety for months and months. Sahara is one of those juices.
I enjoyed GeJ Wild Turkey too, but not nearly as much as Sahara.
Digital Ciggz' Turkish Tech
The site describes this liquid as "...a bold tobacco with a very nice underlying sweetness. The Turkish Tech e-liquid flavor has been linked to the hookah flavor, as well as Sheesha, if you have been craving that fine tobacco taste then this is the one for you."
I think, short of rewriting their description (which I essentially will do), they said it all.
Now, this liquid is very bold for a Turkish "tobacco" eliquid (one of the most bold liquids I've had of its class). No issues of being too mild. The part that left me a little puzzled is the sweetness. There's a cooked honey-like parched sweetness that almost envelops the "tobacco" (maybe that's the "Sheesha" part), but since the "tobacco" aspect of this liquid is basically the most pronounced part, the sweetness doesn't overtake it (but it's right there the whole time).
The liquid is golden in color and very aromatic (all the notes of its taste are very present and alive in its aroma). Even if I blind tasted this liquid, I am most positive that I would lean toward guessing it was a Turkish "tobacco" liquid, and I think most anyone else would too. I can't tell if there's an absolute in there, but there is a pronounced tobacco-ness in it that hits very hard. As a matter of fact (my fact), it hits the chest more like how a cig would than an eliquid. Not so much of an acute throat hit per se, but a lingering chest feeling that lets you know you just took something into your lungs (not sure how I feel about that).
The overall taste of the "tobacco" is surprisingly good. There is a pretty aggressive spiciness to it that is not as bright or lofty as most other liquids like it. It not dark tasting or anything, but I am trying (unsuccessfully) to think of a word that is a few steps down from bright that is still vibrant (suggestions?). What I can articulate is the overall taste of the liquid being an exciting Turkish "tobacco" that is saturated in notes of spice, sweet and dry heat. Oh yeah, this is definitely a Turkish "tobacco" eliquid.
Turkish Tech is a pretty rough-n-tumble Turkish "tobacco" that does not disappoint. I would recommend this to any other fans of this genre. I do like it. I really like it, but I am undecided as to how much I need to have it. We'll see when this bottle is gone--well, if it gets vaped up, that'll tell me something. Come to think of it, this is one of those eliquids that for me may not get vaped as much as others (like AeJ's Sahara), but it is definitely a color that I should keep around for my palette (palate).
Overall, this is an unwavering approach to this kinda liquid that should not bore anyone with heartbeat.

Sounds like I should add that Digital Ciggz juice to my list. Wonder how their Burley Blend is too.
No mention of Halo's Turkish yet in this thread. I know it's a lot of people's fav Halo bacco. I had it when it first came out. Don't remember anything about it, other than I was fairly unimpressed by it. It's one I want to give another go.

Yeah, I am going back and forth on that one. Part of why I haven't rambled about it is I would have to vape it again. Yes, I think Halo threw the proverbial kitchen sink at that liquid. And what I love about P15 is how restrained it is with otherness; their Turkish is all otherness.
Man, I just knew Halo was going to knock it out of the park on this liquid, but alas, foul ball. I'll revisit it to see if it was fair.

Like Mr.Mann said, Quick Nic Juice Humpback and Ahlusion Sahara are probably the best Turkish NETs. Also Wild Turkey form GoodeJuice.
