I still prefer a warmer vape to a cooler one. That's why I started rebuilding. I don't like hot, since the flavor vanishes on me so no super sub-ohming for me. But even with a 1 ohm build, I get a nice, warmth and fantastic flavor.

For the OP: if you'd like to try the tobacco flavor again, try with real tobacco NETs such as https://www.myvapejuice.com/ which has a line dedicated to pipe tobacco extractions.

I started with NETs, and while I still vape them and enjoy them, my taste buds yearned for sweetness (which I abhorred when I first began vaping), and so I segued into fruits and desserts. Don't settle on something if you don't have to. Let your body decide what you need to vape to stay cigarette free.

Honestly I just cant vape tobacco flavors, its nothing like the real thing. I was a big pipe tobacco user a few years ago and I just couldnt bear any kind of tobacco flavor that is vaped because you dont get that hot burning feeling like you would smoking real cigarettes or pipes etc. Fruit flavors and candys etc is fine because theyre not eaten hot in the real world anyway but tobacco is always used hot and vaping makes it feel like a cold inhale which is just disgusting. Its a shame because I threw out a bunch of halo tobacco flavors because the not hot vaping experience with it just taste like lukewarm tobacco that isnt real smoke. That is part of the reason I transferred to mt baker vapor since they have a big assorment or fruits etc which are find for a lukewarm vape but I always see myself sometimes just cant resist not to buy a cigar once in awhile etc just because I miss the real tobacco taste. Is there any possible way to make it like the same as smoking real tobacco?

Before I started smoking cigarettes, I smoked Pipes for years. I have to say I disagree with you. While I have found nothing taste wise that approaches the flavor of a cigarette, I have found quite a few that taste at least passibly like flavored pipe tobacco.

Have you tried Vapor Chef's SLartibartfast, Beeblebrox, or Deep Thought?

And if you vape it in a Little Boy on an Apollo Mech Mod with a 0.25 Ohm build you get an really nice really warm vape on just a 2 second draw.

Agreed. Definitely feel a loss in taste at the lower sub-ohm. Prefer .8-1.2 range.

Thanks everyone, I guess I will have to figure this out because I just no I am going to end up cracking if I dont get some kind realistic pipe experience. Perhaps now is when I should buy that silver carvel mod since I may have to go into mods anyways for that heat. I never had these feelings until last week when my friend started packing his pipe with a cherry tobacco mix which smelled amazing and watching him pack it and everything was something I missed.

Feel like so many new vapers are just finding bad poorly made tobaccos. I googled "top rated tobacco" and what came up was really disappointing. Not one vendor mentioned here except mt. Baker. And all due respect to mt. Baker and their customers but, when I started mt.Baker really wasn't even a top 20 and definitely not known for anything tobacco related.

Honestly making a good tobacco is a skill. Even if it's just one tobacco. So many new vendors seem to be fruits which is easy when compared to mixing and blending tobaccos. Why you would purchase a watermelon or peach mango or kiwi marshmallow when you can make those quite easily yourself for pennies is beyond me.

A good list has been put together here. Try those and maybe you like them maybe you don't but, then you'll know that you've tried tobaccos that people highly regard. Be sure to let them steep. The longer the better. Hope you find something...

My favorite tobacco vendor overall was by far and away backwoodsbrew. Order a variety pack for yourself and let them steep. Whatever sounds good to you. Definitely order some Casablanca. Give it at least 3 weeks.

I've got to agree. BWB Honey Flue Cured is one of the finest tobaccos vapes I have ever tried.

Tennessee by The Vapor Station is pretty amazing as well.

The sooner one realizes you can't replicate that smokey tobacco flavor without lighting up something combustible and then come to terms with it, the sooner you will likely search for what eliquid works for you. There's countless stories of folks searching for an exact replica of the smoking experience from vaping and never finding it. What most people find is something much more satisfying in the end.
Vaping isn't smoking and probably won't ever really be. You gotta want to quit and it takes discipline in the beginning. I don't crave that flavor or experience anymore, but it took time to get here.

Try upgrading your gear and make your mission trying new flavors. You will soon find that it's more fun trying new stuff and will probably eventually forget your original mission of finding that smoking sensation.

Good luck, hope you figure it out.

Yeah that's a good one. I have a 2 year old bottle sitting around. Going to drip some now matter of fact.

I've never tried vapor station. Might check that out. The only other vendor I never got to trying that was regarded for their tobaccos was Vermillion River.

Older. I ended up with it in a trade. This one has much more tobacco absolute in it then the one I ordered more recently. Lol look at the label. Yes that is 2011

I am vaping American Red by VaporFi right this moment. It is pretty good too. It is a really bold tobacco flavor with a light natural sweetness to it.

I am thinking that this one would be good for nights out drinking (which is when really cravings intensify for me).
You ever try BWB 555 nut? That's a good drinking one. I didn't care for the exotic much.

No, I actually avoided any tobacco with a nutty note to them. It just didn't sound appealing as a vape to me. Vapor Station sent me Tennessee as a free sample with an order and that totally changed my mind about nutty tobaccos. I may have to give that BWB 555 a try now.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

That bottle looks entirely too small. That is usually what I say to myself whenever I receive a BWB order always wishing I would have ordered more. :vapor:
