Well...I'm definitely going to try the Gold now..how could I not now? :p
I want to order some gear from litecigusa anyway...they are very close to me, prices look good and hopefully delivery would be rather quick. Their customer service responded to me very quickly and hopefully someday soon they will have a store front again so I would have a trusted vendor that I could get to in a pinch.

Thanks for the advice and the laughs guys! :D

Some thoughts.

To get a really good sweet tobacco flavor, what do we have have to add? Just starting with a tobacco flavor or a mix of tobacco varietals and adding sweetener is not likely to produce a yummy sweet tobacco juice. We need a flavoring or flavorings other than tobacco to "carry" the sweetness.

One candidate is vanilla, but I think we can reject that one as a single flavor solution because really sweet vanilla becomes almost sickening. We might include vanilla in a mix of extra flavors, but I don't think it passes muster by itself. No, the obvious choice is caramel, which has sufficient depth and body to provide a foundation for the sweetness, deliver it, and still taste great.

So, we're probably in the realm of caramel tobaccos here, which with vanilla might include RY4s, but I think probably doesn't in the real world. RY4s that are extremely sweet never get a very high grade from me for some reason. They just don't taste as good as RY4s that keep the sweetness well within bounds.

We might also include a bread/dough/cake/cookie/danish/crust component, which could partner with the caramel in providing a solid carrier for the sweetness. Vanilla would be integral to the dough/cake element for flavor and smoothness. This would be the rough equivalent of adding tobacco to Gooey Butter Cake. Vape-a-licious' StL Gooey Butter Cake is almost ridiculously sweet, so adding a good tobacco anchor to that one might suffice. Lord knows we'd have a world of tasty straight tobaccos from which to choose.

NLV Gold and Bounty Hunter are good examples of this general mix of ingredients, although I agree wholeheartedly with gthompson and Mr.Mann that both those are "ghost tobacco" juices. They do have the caramell-y cake-y thing going on, but the tobacco is more a mystery element just adding some much-needed body. Another one with more obvious tobacco is VermillionRiver Kentucky Vanilla or Kentucky Maplewood, since the Kentucky Premium blends all start off as caramel tobaccos, and they're pretty sweet. We'd have to add more sweetener, of course.

Another candidate might be Caramel Spanish Gold from Sweet-Vapes. No doughy element in that one, but very deep caramel combined with a good NET tobacco. It's not sweet enough as sold, but that could be remedied very easily. Add acetyl pyrazine or vanilla cupcake flavor along with a strong jolt of sweetener to Caramel Spanish Gold, and we might have a winner.

When I'm really craving a sweet tobacco, I usually vape one of Vermillion River's Kentucky Blends. My favorites being the Premium, Banana, No.7, and Vanilla Blends. They do require long steeping, but IMO it's worth the wait.

If I'm in the mood for a semi-sweet tobacco, which is most of the time, then I will vape some of Heather's Heavenly Vapes' tobaccos. My top 3 are Gandalf, Serendipity, and Pirate's Booty. I consider these to be good out of the mail, but steeping them makes them even better.

I'm not a big NLV juice fan anymore, and considering it now retails for 50% more than it used to, I'm not sure I would recommend it that highly. Actually, out of all the suggestions I got on the sweet tobaccos thread, my favorite one out of the non-NETs was BWB's Casablanca. It really surprised me how much it improved after steeping.

So there you go. Those are my suggestions for you. Good luck finding one you like. :)

Mann, I know you're very fond of the Gold, but to me it started to taste like someone peed on my Bounty Hunter. :unsure: :blink:

Regarding the Casablanca, a few months after you sent me the bottle the liquid turned red and the flavor improved significantly. I'll probably order some soon. :)

I also liked the TPR's Candied Cavendish you sent, but my clearos hate it. :(

Unfortunately, Gold lost out today to a nicely aged Smooth Criminal. Smooth Criminal, when aged properly, is all that I want with Gold, but with actual tobacco. Don't get me wrong, I'll take Gold over BH anytime, I just can't do BH.

We're not done, Voltron. The hunt continues!!!

I enjoy vaping a wide variety of flavors but strangely enough they are all called 555.
Seriously 17 and counting. Maybe I will create "The Really Boring 555 Thread".
I am kind of boring and sweaty.

Nice! Not too many people are in the middle ground when it comes to 555. Actually, I am one of the limited amount of people who like some, but most I do not. Tampa from VS (just got some today), Halo Prime (sometimes), and BWB 555 Exotic (barely if ever vape it, but I'll always have some). Those three are not exactly typical 555, but they do fall into the category. Can't wait to see the thread. ;)

I'm with you, Mr.M.

I'm not much for standard 555s, although I have seven of those languishing in the bottom drawers of my juice cabinets (otherwise known as the Juice Graveyard). The two others that I like and keep clearo-loaded are not at all standard---BWB 555 Exotic and SpringVapor Black Label 555---and that's precisely why I like them, because they're so atypical.

I just got some Tampa a few days ago. VS is doing 2 free samples for first timers. It has little flavor and little smell right now, does this one change with a good steep because Eric said they shouldn't need to steep much.
