Closest Ejuice to Golden Virginia

[Martin]

Thanks everyone, these replies have really helped to narrow it down for sure:) I love the fruity, sweety flavours, but in a way I Think I want to taste Golden Virginia or as close as too in a vap version, maybe out of curiosity more than anything or old times sake heh.. Off to do some ejuice retail therapy:)

Sorry to hijack your thread briefly Martin. Has anyone tried Silk Cut flavour yet? Wondering if it's as mild as the cigarettes are/were. I've tried L n B and Mellow Sunset and didn't like them, I'm looking for a very mild tobacco taste. Thanks.

mellow sunset tasted of burnt tyres to me

I agree king, it's revolting.

Ive always smoked golden virgina roll ups when i was smoking as i needed a really nice hit after. Brought Golden virgina eliquid from a few places around on the internet as everyone makes it different i guess. Finally settled on link removed by simate - unregistered vendor

I think their liquid is nice and although im not a huge smoker anymore a small bottle is all i need for about 3 weeks of golden virgina eliquid.

I've just cracked open some grizwalds gold leaf and really enjoying it, have bought mainly tobacco flavours since buying my ecigs and slowly going through them all, most taste the same to me, gold leaf is the first one i've noticed quite a difference, tastes a little sweeter than others.

After a shade of just under 7 months of vaping I am still yet to try a juice that is even close to replicating Golden Virginia which is what I smoked for decades. I recently bought a concentrate from Flavour Art called Golden Rollie from their 'That's Nice' Range. I made a 10ml bottle the day it came which was the 8th March, it still isn't ready. There is a very good review of it on ukv in the E-Liquid reviews section. Thre is talk that it benefits from steeping on a sunny windowsill of which there is no chance of any sun in the UK at the moment lol. It has to take on a deep golden colour and then it will be ready, the smell so far is nothing like GV but it has only been a week. If it turns out to be something special then I will make it known. I would say it smells similar to OK SMokey GV which I really liked to start with but then after about 2 weeks I went right off it all of a sudden, it just tasted sickly one day. I still have it and do smell it now and then lol but still haven't vaped anymore because I can remember the day it tasted sickly. I am really hoping the Golden Rollie isn't the same but on the up side I can add something else to it and make it good in the end, I hope. I also have my own tobacco extract which I am still playing with at the moment.

I take it you don't want the 10 ml I've been steeping for you then? I didn't want to send it before it's ready, been steeping since 4th of March and is just about there, spose I should have let you know really. I can't make up my mind about it though. ???

I buy most of my tobacco e-juices here.

Their GV is pretty darned close, but their Old Holburn and Drum were harsh on my throat.

For a rich smooth and mellow tobacco, you cannot beat their Royal and this is now my all day, everyday vape.

I have tried samples of most of their British Tobaccos from Paradise Vape, as I searched for something similar to the Mayfair fags I used to smoke.

I tend to get my Royal from them in 50/50, 24mg.

I am now mixing my own Royal tobacco and the flavouring for that comes from FlavourArt (Tobac Range ).
I use this at 10% or 15%, depending on my mood.

I completely forgot aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall about your offer Roger!! I do apologise. I do have a memory like a broken sieve

You might as well hold on to it now seeing as I have some here now but thank you again

I can see me having to add something to it.

What % did you use? I used 1.5% to start with.

Wow! That's a high percentage, F'Art tobacco concentrates are pretty strong, unless that one isn't or you have tastebuds of steel lol.

No worries, it won't go to waste, I'll vape it

I've made one at 2% and one at 3%, the 2% does appear nicer so I will probably add a little unflavoured mix to it. I've ordered a sample of the 'Dark Rolled' to try.

Funny you should say that about the dark rolled because I bought a sample of that when I bought the golden rollie. It smells very much like grass/hay so haven't used it yet and not so sure I ever will because of that.

If I could create a juice that tastes like GV, I'd be a millionaire.

Now, where did I leave my "tar" flavoured concentrate? ???

[moonraker]

I tried loads of liquid for the REAL tobacco taste didn't find 1 icon_shoppingm But there are some fantastic flavours out there .
I found part of the fun was trying them
My final point is that if I had kept using tobacco flavours I would be back on cigarettes , but I am 8 months without 1 now & loving my e cig
