Good God, I've been vaping 'rubbish' for over 2 years. Who would have thought it?? Glad you told me.

Seriously, as long as you don't expect them to taste like a fag, which is impossible, there are some very nice 'tobacco' flavours out there.

Indeed. Try these:

Don't be tempted to add a bucket load of stevia to anything. Its vile.

Hey Rich64

I've tried a few different "tobacco" flavours and they are, without exception, rubbish. Taste at best like the inside of an old cig packet. I have concluded that vaping is not smoking and that it is futile to hope otherwise. That was disappointing, but having tried various fruit and food-type flavours and enjoyed most of them, it is starting to look like vaping really does have a lot to offer. I just don't expect it to be like smoking tobacco any more!

Cheers - Jono

Hi Jono
I ve tried a few tobaccos and liked them and a few i have nt(and one that i mentioned earlier that tasted of nothing ) but my wife simply has nt liked any of them and as a result of orxdering her up some fruit flavours etc its had  me realising i may well after all end up preferring the non tobacco flavours as im surprised at how much i like the menthyl (I detested menthyle cigarettes)

Anyways juries still out and early days on my discovery mission

cheers Rich

I've been impressed by some menthol juices. Really like them.

Trouble is that I used to be a daily cigar smoker, which sets the bar high when it comes to tobacco flavours.
The low point came when I bought a pre-mixed one described as a Cigar flavour and guess what... same old cheap tobacco flavour!
Maybe I'll have to spend a bit more next time!

I would be interested in one that was like gold cafe creme cigars for my husband. Haven't been able to find anything similar so far.

Blimey, that's a bit of a jump.  From a cigar like juice to gold cafe creme.  Asking a bit much there I'm afraid.

No response to my offer Why am I not surprised.

Hey up Roger

Just got back onto the forum and seen your offer.
I am impressed by your mixing skills and I am wondering what ingredients you would use.
Maybe you'd prefer to keep the formula secret!

All the best

  I was thinking it would be like the tobacco flavours where you can get ones like Bensons or like L&B. Not having been a cigar smoker myself I don't really know all the ins and outs

I have one particular concentrate, that to me is very 'cigar ish'.  I don't particularly like it, but then I was never a big cigar fan.  I would be interested to know what an ex cigar smoker thought of it. 

Yes, you need to move away from the cheap tobacco juices, some of them are awful, mind you so are some of the cheap fruits/coffee, others.  It's another reason why so many people mix their own, you control the flavour (once you find some you like)

Ah, but they are nothing like what they claim to be.  You will not get a juice that tastes like a fag, even ones made from steeped tobacco leaves will only really give you the tobacco flavour.  You can find some concentrates and additives to move a mix towards a fag like taste, but only a little.  

That said, once you get away from the tobacco = cigarette mindset you can find some very nice tobacco flavours
