Hi everyone I'm about to order a starter kit and can't wait to enter the wonderful world of vaping. All I need now is some e liquids to go with it. The problem I have is I'm not really into sweet tasting flavours and want to start with more traditional tobacco flavours. I like the sound of the Marlborough red one (US red mix I think it's called?). I smoked Marlborough reds when I first started so it would be familiar. Does the e liquid taste similar to the real thing? What tobacco or non sweet types have you tried that you recommend?
Many thanks in advance.

I know womble vapes baccy type ones (coo-eee womble!) I think he vapes the Vermillion River Kentucky Tobacco juice(s) Hopefully he'll see this tag and tell you a bit more than I can! I will say the TJuice UK Smokes is very sweet so that one probably won't be a good one for you.

Not vaped a baccy flavour yet. I think you'll be hard pressed to find something that really does taste like burning leaves & paper. Remember, tobacco tastes different to burning tobacco. There's some nice coffee flavours, aniseed is nice, cinnamon red hots; but good luck on your baccy flavours

I'll probably move on to more adventurous flavours later but as I'm completely new to all this I want to be on familiar ground to start with if that makes sense.

The benson fences is quite like a benson and hedges but someone else also said abit like old Holborn. But I have been using it for about 2 months and it's been good not gone back on to the cigs

I found tobacco flavours very hit & miss, even ones with the same name like RY4 but from different manufacturers. If you fancy trying some without breaking the bank, try JooseJuice, their samplers are 10ml and only £1.49 ea, and you can customise the pg/vg content too, so try both of their tobacco juices at different mixes, and different nicotine strengths to see what hits the spot with you and it won't cost a fortune. When i started, only a few weeks back, i was paying £10 a bottle for 10mls, and most of them are sat festering and unused as they were so bad. JooseJuice are HERE

silentscream - many of us ex-tobacco smokers find that a good Menthol flavour cuts the mustard (even if you weren't a menthol smoker). I seem to remember that menthol also mimics the effect that chocolate and liquorice have on dilating the airways (those two ingredients are among the thousands of additives to tobacco to keep you addicted!). There are literally thousands of flavours to choose from - sweet desserts and custards, fruits and lighter tastes, beverages like tea, coffee, cola, red bull, and many tobacco flavours too. The best advice is to try as many as you can until you find something that does the job for you. Many vendors sell taster bottles of 5 or 10ml - these work out a bit more expensive, but allow you to try flavours without having 25ml left which makes you urge! If you do buy something which you really don't like, there are 2 options. Firstly, don't bin it - your taste buds will certainly change over the coming weeks, and something which is repulsive now may be quite acceptable in a month's time. Secondly, you will find there is a healthy swapsie thang going down here, where you can swop those juices you just can't get on with for something else to try.

JooseJuice are HEREI had a look at the stuff on JooseJuice and they say you have to steep the tobacco ones or you don't get the tobacco flavour which doesn't really work for me I'd prefer something I can just get up and running with straight away. I know what you mean though about tobacco flavours, I won't go on an endless quest for the 'exact' tobacco fix with e cigs I just want a few to try out. RY4 keeps coming up but as you say it's hit and miss depending where you buy it from. I will try one anyway, from where I don't know yet lol. silentscream - many of us ex-tobacco smokers find that a good Menthol flavour cuts the mustard (even if you weren't a menthol smoker).

Menthol really doesn't work for me cykensa. I hated the menthol cigs when I tried them. I suppose I need to get used to the idea of flavours to smoke outside of tobacco but I would feel more comfortable starting off with a slightly familiar taste.

The search for a true tobacco taste goes on. USA Red is very close, one of the better Liquids. Golden Tree reminds me of roll ups, just a little bit. Truth? Not found one yet that tastes like a real smoke, and doubt I ever will. Jag. (It's an alternative and a cure, but it isn't reality.)

To be honest I won't be disappointed if I never find a 'true' tobacco taste. Similar works for me. As an example, the first (and only) e cig I tried so far was in a shopping mall in Wycombe. One of the flavours they made me try was Virginia and it tasted okay. What put me off it? The fact it looked like a cigarette. I don't want to feel I'm still smoking I want an alternative so 'close' works well for me with tobacco flavours

When I left the stinkies behind my first two juices were a tobacco and a menthol. Now like you I hated menthol cigs, but I was surprised that I preferred the eliquid to the baccy flavour. But taste is very subjective but also don't rule it out. It's a bit like having a mint after a fag to get rid of the smell (never really worked though did it! :-)) Good luck on your quest though
