Black Note American Blend
Black Note American Blend is their latest addition in the “cigarette taste” line. It’s robust and smoky, with less earthiness than other Black Note flavors. It’s close as you can get to the “red” cigarette that’s synonymous with an American cigarette. A great choice for transitioning from smoking to vaping.
Tobacco flavors are often a smoker’s first introduction to vaping. While many vapers quickly distance themselves from tobacco and delve into other flavor profiles, others still crave a great, meticulously crafted tobacco e-juice. Simply put, a good tobacco e-liquid is hard to pass by.
But with many different types of tobacco e-liquids and an abundance of options floating around, the market has become hard to navigate. And that’s exactly why we put this list together! The following is what we consider the best tobacco e-juices currently available. We’ve also included a guide to help you select the right one for you.
Tobacco e-juice vs. smoking tobacco
Most transitioning smokers enter vaping expecting a 1:1 replacement for their favorite cigarettes. But the truth is that no vape juice tastes exactly like burning tobacco leaves, i.e., smoking tobacco. Some e-juices have an “ashy” flavoring component, and many succeed at mimicking tobacco’s rich flavor notes or fruity pipe additives. Still, the experience is entirely unique. A good tobacco e-juice often highlights the authentic taste and aroma of the tobacco leaf, rather than a burning cigarette.
While this may seem like a disadvantage at first, it really isn’t. Instead of the lingering taste and smell of smoke, vaping opens the door to an endless variety of flavors and combinations. Tobacco paired with apple or almond may sound unusual, but just wait until you try it! And the difference goes beyond taste. Tobacco vapes don’t leave the persistent odor of smoke on your breath, clothing, or in your home. For many smokers who make the switch, it’s a much more enjoyable experience.
Different types of tobacco vape juice
Straight tobaccos
Straight tobacco flavors exclusively celebrate the distinct flavor of tobacco leaves. They contain little or no sweeteners and rarely include complementary flavors. There are, of course, some exceptions. For example, a honey-flue-cured tobacco e-juice may contain a touch of honey flavoring. But such additions are only added to more accurately replicate authentic tobacco nuances. Straight tobaccos are often easily identifiable by their names: Virginia, Kentucky, Turkish, Latakia, etc.
Tobaccos mixed with other flavors
Tobacco flavorings are often used alongside a wide array of pastry, nut, or fruit flavorings. One of the better-known combinations is RY4: tobacco, caramel, and vanilla. Other popular mixes include cherry or apple (often used with pipe tobacco), nuts, coffee, and cream. These juices are usually the first step away from straight tobaccos, and an introduction to more complex flavor profiles. Note that some are very sweet and rich, so be sure to read reviews and choose carefully. But the market is saturated with these flavor types, and there are great options for everyone.
Naturally extracted tobaccos (N.E.T.)
N.E.T.s (or NETs as they are commonly referred to) are what their name suggests: e-juices made with natural tobacco extracts. If you are after a pure tobacco flavor, they’re as close to the real thing as it gets. NETs are not that popular with beginners due to their limited availability and because they tend to gunk up coils quickly. Many consider them best suited for rebuildable atomizers. But if you want to find out what your favorite tobacco leaf tastes like in a vape juice, NETs are your best bet.
Is there a best way to vape tobacco e-liquid?
Short answer: no, there isn’t. You can vape tobacco juice any way you like. But there are some things to consider.
Most people prefer to vape tobacco e-liquid the way they used to smoke tobacco. Tobacco is generally smoked in a two-step method: inhale into the mouth, and then breathe the vapor into the lungs. In vaping terms, this is called a mouth-to-lung inhale (MTL). Because less vapor is inhaled this way, MTL vaping is better suited to higher-nicotine-strength juices. It is usually done through MTL vape tanks or small pod devices. In fact, these are some of the best vapes to quit smoking.
But many people, and especially experienced vapers, like to vape tobacco flavors with a direct-to-lung inhalation (DL). As the name suggests, you inhale the vapor directly into the lungs and then quickly exhale. This method is better suited to sub ohm tanks, RDAs, or RTAs. Pod vapes and AIOs with a more open airflow will also work. As a rule of thumb, sub ohm vaping requires lower-nicotine juices due to the larger amount of vapor inhaled.
Depending on the flavor profile and the equipment you use, you may prefer vaping tobacco flavors in nicotine salt or in regular (freebase) nicotine form, and at varying nicotine strengths. To find out what the right nicotine strength is for you, read our dedicated guide.
