Are there any vape flavors that are best for quitting smoking?
- Thread starter Weisen
- Start date
Hard question. So many I knew went straight from cigs to sweet flavours.
I couldnt stand sweet flavours and went for cig substitutes. Made my own trying to replicate cigs. Few were very near close. But soon it sickened me and I changed to non cig tastes like berry and other fruits. At the start of going off of cig types like custard type things. Now I cant stand those.
Maybe one could try like I did and go for more cig type ones. Its the most logical.
Then drift away from them. I tried one of my cig ones I absolutely loved in the early days a few months ago for old times sake. I got through about 1 ml before ditching it.
Probably try some more cig tobac types to start. There are a lot that claim it but are very far from being a cig taste, some laughable. What cig tastes like a peanut or vanilla custard?
Thats why I made my own within a month of starting to vape. I did make a few that were pretty on point. Some I added spirit flavours like youd get in roll tobac like rum or bourbon or brandy.But now they would taste like licking an ashtray.
Good luck quiting though and on your vape journey in doing so.
Hawk Sauce got me to break away from cigarettes. It has a blueberry & menthol flavor profile. I've also used some various mints, spearmint, wintergreen, peppermint.
What helps one person may not help another regarding juices. Juices and flavors are probably the most subjective aspect of vaping. I now vape unflavored juice most of the time.
One thing to note, finding a "real" cigarette flavor is very difficult.

Yep I found that out too.
It can be done. But afterwards you think "why on earth did I like that"

Seems to me that a lot of people like RY4 mixes - that's a tobacco with a little vanilla and caramel. I don't mix tobacco flavors, but I'll tag some folks who might:

I have one I posted just a bit ago. But I am not sure if you are mixing? If so this one is great and you can use any RY4 flavoring that you like. As far as commercial juices though I can't be much help I'm afraid. I do remember vaping Kilo Kiberry that I did really enjoy and Elblacco. The Kiberry I think they still make but I am not sure about the ElBlacco one The Elblacco was a blackberry tobacco mix
Here is the mix I recently made up
RY4 with Vanilla Ice Cream
DIYFS Holy Holy Grail RY4 V1 (yes I still have some ) 2.5%
SSA Ice Cream Vanilla 2%
SSA Whipped Cream 0.5%
SSA Milky Caramel Fudge 0.5%
Sugar Mama Sweetener 0.5%

I love RY4. It’s just tobacco-y enough. Like dirty caramel. And it works in bakeries…..my favorite kind of vape. TFA RY4 is pretty generic and probably what most commercial companies use. JF RY4 is richer and more tobacco forward. I have the FLV, but haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve heard very good things. And then there’s Holy Grail RY41…which isn't made anymore. My favorite of the bunch. V2 isn’t bad, but V1 is better. So caramelly, so so good.
The answer is....whatever flavor satisfies you so you prefer it to a cigarette!
Not joking - that's really the answer, and it's different for everyone.
I honestly think that's part of the secret to becoming a long-term vaper and former smoker - is finding flavors you really enjoy. And it may be TOTALLY unexpected! MANY people start off by looking for a tobacco flavor - and nothing really "tastes" like burning dried leaves saturated in chemicals, so it's never what they want. But then, one day, they try some "Blueberry Muffin with Icing" and BOOM, there it is!!!
Or Strawberry Banana Smoothie. Or "Wheaties". Or "Honey Graham Cracker Crust Key Lime Pie". Or "Skittles".
Just try some stuff - and find some that you like!
(tip: THEN start mixing your own liquids, and try to duplicate the flavors you like - or improve on them)
I only had to try about 150 flavors before I landed on my all day forever vape, which turned out to be clove. It was a happy flavor for me because, while smoking cigarettes, clove cigarettes were a nightclub treat. They tasted so nice and sweet, and other people weren't bothered by them. Clove cigs were, however, very harsh on the lungs, so again, only a special treat for going out. Tobacco flavored eliquids never tasted like cigarettes to me. Clove eliquid tastes just like clove cigarettes. But before discovering that, I swung through tobacco flavors, where I found that cigar and pipe flavors tasted more like cigarettes than liquids that were trying to be like "lite" cigarettes. Then on to exotics like chocolate tobacco, honey tobacco, hazelnut tobacco. Then the sweets. Velvet Vapors "Fuego" was a lovely hot sweet candy cinnamon I enjoyed in the morning with that first cup of coffee. Mount Baker Vapor cinnamon roll was a luscious flavor. Gothic Vapor red velvet cake was interesting. Absinthe became my 4am alcohol re-entry landing flavor, with a kind of French druggy feel I can't quite pin down. So many flavors, so little time.
Then I went through a phase of a couple of years of rotating five or six different flavors all the time, vaping what I was in the mood for, until it came down to the one all day forever flavor. I'll bet 8 of 10 vapers have a drawer full of reject juices. My rejects are down to a couple of bottles. I found I could mix the rejects with stronger flavors I liked, and use them up, so as not to waste the money spent. A teaberry eliquid will turn any other flavor into teaberry.
I hope that helps. Try things. You'll know what you like, and enjoy the journey.

Finally, someone who likes some of the flavors I like!
My favorites are spicy flavors, like anise/fennel, clove, cinnamon. My absolute favorite flavor (may sound disgusting to you) is Clove Bubblegum. Regular pink bubblegum is a close second.
I like vanillas and chocolates also, have a molasses chocolate chip cookie that's a favorite, and I also like almost any kind of citrus. Also like some cocktail flavors (VTA Botanical Gin is some good stuff) and mints.
And yes, I think most of us who mix have, maybe not exactly "rejects," but certainly some that are just meh, and those I just go ahead and vape because I'm not pouring them down the sink unless they are just plain nasty. I've only had a couple that were nasty enough that I just couldn't vape them. One of them was a blue raspberry - NEVER AGAIN - and one was a peanut butter and jelly that was just horribly gross.
I have not tried Absinthe as a single flavor, but I probably would like that, and I have some around here somewhere.
That sounds like what I went through when I went from Tobacco to Fruit flavors~!
When I started, you'd always get at least a couple of 5ml. samples of other flavors when you ordered. Those were the good old days... My summary didn't include even half of the many flavors I tried.Finally, someone who likes some of the flavors I like!

That Botanical Gin sounds interesting!
The one flavor I just couldn't redeem, and threw it right in the trash, was Worcestershire Sauce. I'm adventurous, and the reviewers were saying positive things about it. Sometimes what a brewer is trying to express will come out completely different once it goes through the coil, so I thought okay, sweetish, salty-ish, hmmm. It was godawful.
I did like clove bubblegum, but not enough to buy it again. Plain bubblegum was good too, but I simplified by bringing it down to one flavor I can always enjoy.
Vape on!
Get some UNFLAVORED juice into your collection. Sometimes flavors can hit wrong or even make you nauseous. Many are TOO highly flavored as well.
Currently I have Air Factory 36mg nic salt, and Onyx Saphire 6mg freebase. Just began mixing things and love being able to tone down the flavors.

I LOVE Worcestershire sauce!! LOL. I'd love to try that! I never even thought of flavor profiles like that.
I left the "tobacco flavors" fast. I actually despise the taste of it now. American Patriot gives me distinct cardboard flavor. And Monster Rich is not tobacco at all but HIGHLY flavored caramel/vanilla. SICKLY SWEET. I was a tobacco aficionado so I'm hyper critical here. I prefer fruit, I don't like custard/cake stuff either. That's just weird to me.
Agree 100 percent on the unflavored. I vape it whenever I have to be around other people. It isn't like unflavored tastes bad. It's slightly sweet from the VG. If the vape market were to completely disappear, I would happily vape unflavored from my hoard for the rest of my life, or drop a little flavoring in the non-nic portion of my DIY mix before adding the nic base.
Better to learn to improvise before it becomes an emergency.
Comment deleted by member for ethical reasons.
For more than a year I've tried to monetize my website, which costs about 4k thousand per year to operate, for the domain, the website, the music licensing, the radio platform hosting, the music. Google AdSense wasn't interested in it. Amazon really didn't work, too bulky to create a link for every single piece of music, and people open the site and are listeners, not readers. Apple Music didn't work for the same reason, besides which Apple is selling subscriptions rather than individual music titles.
So I was coincidentally searching for a product on the ECBlend website when I saw a link at the bottom, "Get paid to promote ECBlend Products". I followed the link, got approved by Share a Sale, got accepted by EC today, and now I'm on my next experiment, which is to create advertisements to air during the music stream.
TMI, I'm sure, but I've been looking through my content on this forum, to delete everything I said recently about ECB, so nobody thinks I tried secretly to sell to them. The other forum doesn't let you edit after about 48 hours, maybe 24, so I'll have to contact the mods there. In the mean time, if anybody runs across anything I've said about ECBlend, if you'll just rate the comment with an "angry", I'll receive the alert and be able to locate the comment and edit it out. Thank you!!!

I always like dessert flavors, but I know some people making the switch to vaping from smoking like to use tobacco flavored juice because it reminds them of cigarettes.
Yes, because you need to wean off Smoking Killer Sticks.

I'm not sure if there is a particular flavour for quitting smoking. It's probably the sweet flavours e.g fruity. A lot seem to have tobacco flavour. Although, i'm not sure they help.
by deciding to do something to help you quit, you have done the hard bit. start with fruits and cream.
I agree that it is different for each person. I started with unflavored (didn't even know that at the time... it was cheap and at all the corner stores... Zig-Zag brand 18 mg) Soon I tried a few fruit flavors a friend gave me (he broke his setup and gave up) Of course, I tried a few tobacco flavors. I ended up liking Vape Wild Wrangler mixed with their RY4life but soon also liked a variety of other flavors. Now I make my own and have a wide variety I rotate often but first thing in the morning, I still like to have my RY4... it's really not a tobacco (nutty, caramel, vanilla) but my mind is used to having that first before anything else.
Some of the more "realistic" tobacco flavors are nasty... basically include the burnt ash flavor. Some people start with menthol. Eventually most people find a few that really work but seems there is a huge variety of what works for different people. For some reason I can't vape root beer (GrimmGreen says that was his first go to for him) but I like licorice (most people can't stand it)

With all the crappy synthetic and faux tobacco flavors out there I am not surprised that people just give up and go to food flavorings.
I am one of those old guys that smoked for over 45 years and love tobacco. The substitutes never worked for me.
I stumbled upon NET (Natural Extracted Tobacco) years ago and have used natural tobacco extracted from the leaf for years now. The best I know is from Real Tobacco Extracts https://real-tobacco-extract.com
I like all the cigarette varieties (Virginia, Burley, Perique, Turkish as well as the cigar leaf extractions. I will occasionally fill a tank with a fruit tobacco melange - Maple Virginia, Blackberry Virginia.
Only real tobacco works for me. Maybe is would work for you.

i like kentucky bourbon and i often put a drop or 5 of rum in my mixes lol. oh and desert ship is ok.
Hey buddy. My own personal experience is all I can share with you. I was smoking for about 9 years and quitting seemed quiet unreal. The intensity was 10.2 mg per cigarette. I wanted to quit starting from reusable vape pods. Then I've heard that synthetic disposables are out now, which contain a little amount of nicotine. You can choose blueberry or pineapple to be not so sweet compared to cigarettes, but the choice is upon you to decide.
Got that right, it's not ethical to sass the holy Silly Putty(tm).
Try hosting with NearlyFreeSpeech. You pay for what you use and only what you use. Can also imagine the people there can offer help on domain name registration, as in help lowering costs. No I'm not selling or promoting them. Merely aware of them having looked into making a site/sites myself. Reckon, if I ever were to make my own site I might likely let them host.

I don't love my current web host because it's very limiting as to how to configure things, like if I want a promotional banner at the top for a special occasion or a guest host, it limits the number of letters you can have. When I gripe, they unceremoniously tell me I need to upgrade my plan. It's only 21.17 annually for the domain, but 320.00 for content and eCommerce, but the real money is in the radio hosting platform and music player, 1200.00 annually, and the music licensing, approx. 650.00/year, which is just a racket. Supposedly it is so the artists can be paid, but artists don't want it to be expensive for radio to play their music. Very few of the millions of artists are big time, and they want radio play to sell their recorded music, concerts and club dates. Anyway, then the trademarks came to 550.00, plus legal fees to make sure they're properly done, filed and protected, but that was only a cost the first year. Then the music, a bottomless money pit of subscriptions and individual purchases. Then site art and a dozen things I'm not thinking of at the moment.
Well at least while sitting here doing my taxes, I realize it isn't as expensive as I first complained, but with almost nil revenue, it's still an expensive hobby.
Yeah, definitely understand about it being a scam. Compiled a collection of poetry and published it via unbeknown to me via a vanity publisher. They sold each book for $20 - $25 and I only ended up with $1 - $2 for each as royalties.
karma will be around soon.
my lord they sleep
how deep they sleep
may the worms

slowly creep.
I'm a little late to the party. But there's a company called Black Note. They used NO artificial coloring, chemicals or flavoring to any of their e-juice. They are naturally extracted from tobacco leaves. its absolutely phenomenal! A tad pricey, but worth it IMO. My favorite is the Virginia 50/50 blend
Nice.
I like how they get around the FDA prohibition against selling vape products for smoking cessation with "Throw Away Your Ashtrays & Ditch the Guilt".
not to many e juices that taste like cancer sticks. i think you would like friuts like guava, dragon fruit, blueberry and bavarian cream.
When I ran my shop, I generally recommended what worked for me. True, ecigs make the transition SO much easier when someone can mimic all the ritualistic behaviors one has associated with the (hopefully) former habit. When I began, I used a tobacco flavor. Even if it didn't taste like tobacco. In fact it tasted like a lot of flavors trying to taste like tobacco, BUT, I already had associations with the "flavor" so that was a good starting point for me. Then I transitioned to something that was more of a reward system for continuing to use ecigs. By that time, I was already R&Ding flavors of my own that started Tasty Vapor, but atomic fireball was what i transitioned over to from tobacco flavor.
over here in aust
ralia a pack of 25 fags cost $45 bucks and vapingis now banned totally. if an average smoker uses a packet of ancer sticks a day then that close oto 340 bucks/week and given the heapest rent you ould find for a ouse is 400/week thats 750/week cost before food blls car petrol etc and a strore worker would take home 640week tell me how?? ensure you have security on your house!! you cant evenbuy fuel to put in your car as it is $2.00/litre which will get yu 12kms!
excuse spelling , was rushing about there
I could tell. lol
over here it is now bringing out juices made by under the counter idiots. this juice will cause more sickness than people would comprehend.
I still mix for a friend out in Australia. Funny. But yeah, it's 0mg product so customs doesn't screw with her. And she still orders from me because I'm not out getting people sick. lol.
i mix my own but if i need nico i can get it delivered to my door in 1 hour. so when will the stupid government realise that by banning vaping ,they are in effect, bringing out a vast and dangerous supply of illegal crap,
se
nd some to our government,...just add a few ingredients please.
