When we first started vaping last fall, my wife wanted clove juice for the same reasons the OP and others have stated. We tried from several e-juice companies. But when we ordered from DIY Flavor Shack the first time in a small sample, it seemed good, so we ordered some more. It was a totally different color and taste, and really yucky. I had loaded some into a plastic cartomizer, but when my wife didn't like it, she put it aside. A few days later she picked it up and ...

THE PLASTIC CARTOMIZER HAD TURNED SOFT, LITERALLY MELTED!!

That was the end of vaping clove juices in our house!

I just got my samples of Kretek and Essence Clove, tried them out, and here's my humble opinions:

Let me begin my restating my review of the Dekang BLK DJ Clove

Black DJ Clove 24mg from Valley Vapor
It's more like a Djarum Light or Special, but I dig that as it's not harsh at all. It does have a clove flavor and odor, I'm not disappointed.

Kretek Clove PG 36mg (sweetened) from Tasty Vapor
I wish i could have seen the look on my face when I took my first puff. It's incredibly strong, spicy, and definitely does not remind me of cloves. Instead I get this image of myself biting off a chuck of a cinnamon stick and just chewing away at it, chewing away. Had this been labeled "Overwhelming Cinnamon Enima" this would have been spot on. Now I have to clean out my brand new cart... I'm soo good at that...

Eliquid Planet Essence Clove 16mg (??PG/VG)
This one must have also been humorous to watch me try it. I felt like I was huffing the fumes off the biggest, fattest, most pungent incense stick you can buy. Which sure, as a kid that's the bees knees. Anyway more specifically it's similar enough to a clove to warrant further testing, although it's more like burning flower petals than clove so far.

Verdict: the Dekang is far more like a Djarum than these two. Maybe I can mix something else into these to make them more palatable (especially the Kretek).

Bonus: Geoff's Blend 24mg (80%PG) from Tasty Vapor
This is the third sample I got today, so I thought I'd toss in my 2 cents while I'm at it. I'm not sure what it tastes like. All I know is that it's too much... something. Although I can't say I dislike it straight out, I wouldn't vape this had I a choice.

Tasty Vapor has Kretek, and their Spiced Rum also seems to have some cloves in it (not really the spice I was looking for)

Yeah I heard Tastyvapor's Kretek is supposed to be the best...not a clove guy so never tried it though.

Ya I have some of this. It's definitely representative of what I remember of clove cigarettes.

Try Welcome get the djarum black clove premix or if you diy you can get the concentrated. Its really good. I know what you mean bout the kretek being too much of something. Don't vape that kretek juice dry, it made me gag for a while.

I just ordered a sample pack, thanks for the suggestion!

Hahaha! Yep, I always describe it, and a few others, as what licking a potpourri bowl would be like. Not so yummy.

I've actually found something that is a decent replacement for my Djarum Blacks *finally* And it's a frankenjuice.

I mix Tasty Vapor's Kretek, some unflavored VG (because Kretek is killer strong), some Boba's Bounty, but other mild, boutique tobacco flavors like a good one from Want2Vape for example would work IMO- it just needs more tobacco. And then a couple drops of an anise flavored liquid. My ratios if I remember off the top of my head are: 2 parts Kretek, 2 parts VG, 1 part Boba's, & maybe 1/4 part anise- but add it slowly and check because you don't want too much. It's pretty good; best by far I've managed to get my hands on.

Well although mixing several juices and DIYing is something I've done, I'm more of a 'get it an forget' it enthusiast. Yes the Clever Clove is a 'light' or 'special' Djarum mostly, if you're wanting more powerful stuff I'd suggest getting Clever Clove and using it as a baseline, simply adding 1:5 or so Essence Clove from Eliquidplanet to give it more of a Black kick. Or perhaps 1:10 Kretek if that's more your flavor style. This I would experiment with myself were it not for the fact I do not like the clove dropkick-to-the-face that real Blacks can give. Plus such a strong juice does not an all day vape make for me. As is, the Clever Clove is an all day vape, not becoming overwhelming over time. Just a strong recommendation.. try it!

on another note I ordered more DK BLK today and will be comparing it critically to Clever Clove, see if side by side there's any noticeable flavor preferences / differences and if so maybe doing a 50/50 mix of that. Either way this stuff is WINNING
