This is an excellent threat thanks for starting it.

I would love to contribute but so far I haven't had the chance to try very many juices yet. I was a menthol smoker, I used gambler menthol tobacco roll your own for at least two years so I started out searching for a menthol juice. But, too much menthol can screw up your taste buds and your tongue as I recently learned.

I have about 10 different juices arriving tomorrow, I hope, a mix of tobacco flavores and fruit flavored. I'm anxious to try them all. I will report back later.

Thanks! That's one of reasons why I started this. So people could possibly try a certain juice from someone who used to smoke the same cigarette. Not necessarily replicate their old brand. I also have new tobacco flavors coming in to try out. Funny thing my mailbox became my liquor store/ gas station,lol. Please report back let us know how your juice worked out for you.

OMG!

I found the fix for the only "trigger" I have left!

The only time I ever jones for a cigarette anymore is in the early AM with my coffee. The PV just hasn't quite been satisfying then. I fight off the urge and it fades, but it's a sad time for that first 15 min. or so...until now.

555 and Coffee X mixed half and half = full flavor "Red" + morning coffee! I dunno why as the 555 tastes NOTHING like a Marlboro by itself...but mixed together it is the exact flavor as I remember it. I'm so friggin' happy right now, LOL!

Some mornings I vape 555 w/carmel mocha frappe and a drop of Baileys Irish Cream flavoring. It's the only time I vape this, but in the morning it's so good.

I was smoking 1$ a pack Clipper filtered cigars before I started vaping 5 weeks ago. Today I just got clove tobacco from Blue Mist...and I am loving it. Back in the day (I wont say when cuz it might date me) I used to smoke cloves...sampeorna extra...a pack a day. This brings back memories...and I am loving it. Smoked cloves for three years straight and only stopped cuz they went up in price. And I better like this Blue Mist clove tobacco juice b/c i got 180 ml of it! LOL

Smoked: Lucky Strikes, Camel Turkish Royals and Djarums (really liked their Bali Hai).

Juice: Lucky Strike 18mg & 24mg from dfwvapor.com or vaporkings.com

I had a friend that was smoking Lucky's put it down and try my 510. He said it tasted better than the actual Lucky cig. It tasted the way Lucky's did when you could buy them and they would be fresh instead of stale.

D'Jarum Black 18mg also from vaporkings.com
Received a 24mg sample of Wyatt Earp from freedomsmokeusa.com and I really like it.

Marlboro 100

Cowboy from V4L.

I've all but stopped smoking (maybe 10 cigs in the past MONTH!) and my wife was down to 5-6 cigs a day before the stock on our fave juice started running low. Waiting for V4L to stock up again and in the meantime will be trying alternatives and try mixing VG Wow with Premium to get the right flavor/mix. Will start with a 60/40 Premium/VG mix and see what happens.

marlboro red /bronson full -pad
like dude said earlier ,order juices from different places in 3-5 ml bottles ,some even have 6packs of samples at a good price .i can tell you this much every company makes a red/mb/tobaco flavor and no two companies have the same flavor . here a coke isnt just a coke . every body mixes there stuff different . my two favorite juice companies are pink spot vapor -marlyb flavor and tobaco flavor . and cig not- ry4 /and there tobaco flavors , oh yeah vapor kings-,( rocks) try there 555 .
oh and another big thing to remember is your taste are different than mine dont order a big bottle ,because everyone says its great , it might not taste so great to you , and never get rid of a flavor . your taste buds will change alot . something that tasted horrible last week , might taste good to you later . im not into fruity flavors yet , but what i like to do with them is when im bored with a tobacco flavor fill my next tank up with 1/3 fruit and then 2/3 tobacco flavor . now you have something totally different.

I was mostly an RYO/MYO'er. For the last 15yrs I've lived less than a mile away from what was (until a year or so ago) one of the big 3 players in the rolling tobacco market. I reveled in delight at the vast assortment of tobacco's both domestic & import. I was a connoisseur of tobacco like some are of chocolates, wines, or cheeses. Europe has (or had, they are having probs too) an amazing diversity in their rolling tobacco's... and the different small-leafed tobaccos grown in Turkey, or the Balkans...the American Periques- not the crap in the American Spirit pouches that BigTobacco sells- the fresh periques, from different parishes in the S.E. USA. Different locales have different methods of fermenting, and resulting flavor profiles.... And then Big Brother stamped out my last vice. Oh, if I wanted to I could certainly have any fancy cigar the gov't is fine with international & interstate commerce of cigars (and a cap of 40cents tax, even on the most expensive thousand$$ sticks). Even cubans are easy (and overrated) if you have the $$- but they just don't appeal to me. I tried. The connoisseur can still sample from all over the world in their pipes, but I find pipe tobacco's to be too heavily cased (flavorings, humectants such as PG/VG/honey) for my tastebuds.
I ended up with a Brit style golden leaf Virginia (advertised as pipe-tobacco to avoid the taxes, but still xtra fine-shag cut). In an emergency I'll smoke Camels or PallMalls. I still have around 4 cigs a day. They are a convenient timer when I take my dogs out- and taking my dogs out is a convenient excuse for a cigarette :smokie: but DAMN I love(d) tobacco!!

I avoid the tobacco flavored vapes. Since I smoked as much as for the taste & experience as for the addiction, I find most tobacco flavored vapes to be almost an insult- it's just not the same, and I fear that trying to chase duplication would lead me back to smoking- and when I smoke, I smoke like a freakin' chimney. Up to 70 sticks a day. When I have a vice, I like to really put my full dedication into it. :laugh: I'm putting everything I have into vaping, but I took a big financial tumble a few years ago when I got sick and had to take up a consulting job I could do from my bed/desk, so my vaping fund doesn't come close to matching any of my previous obsessions funds. Man, if vaping (and current vaping tech) and I had intersected just a few years earlier...:vapor::vapor::vapor::vapor::vapor::vapor::vapor::vapor::vapor:

So now, like others, I chase the ultimate vape. Just like I chased the ultimate smoke, now I chase vapors. I love RY4's- asian RY4s, the Americans haven't pegged it, they approach flavoring juices differently- but from american vendors I like vanillas, coconuts, caramels, cappucinos... creamy vapes.

Maybe I should quit chasing airy wisps- they're so hard to hold on to!
(man I can sure ramble....)
