The Best Tobacco E Liquids On The Market
Tobacco e liquids are often the first port of call for former smokers who are new to vaping.
When you purchase a tobacco e liquid, you typically have two options:
- The classic tobacco e liquids that replicate an authentic smoking experience if you aren’t ready to completely transition away from tobacco just yet.
- More diverse flavour profiles — tobacco notes enhanced or complemented by other flavours, like vanilla, nuts and spices — for those whose palates enjoy more complex flavour combinations.
As with everything, it’s entirely down to personal preference.
We’ll make your decision easier by giving you a complete rundown of the best tobacco e liquids available right now.
This guide contains everything you need to know to help you choose the right tobacco e liquid for you.

“I won’t use anything else.
I have always used tobacco flavoured liquids and tried so many over the years, but none of them tasted authentic. Then I came across this e liquid from Hangsen.
There’s always a consistent flavour, it doesn’t clog up my coils as some do, and it’s available at a great price!”
Why you should buy it:
This is our best-selling product at the time of writing — and with good reason.
The Golden VGA e liquid delivers a smooth vape and contains notes of sugary sweetness that will keep you coming back for more.

These ingredients create an authentic tobacco taste and thus perfectly replicate a conventional smoking experience.
In fact, this e liquid is particularly suited to former roll-up smokers seeking that ‘throat hit’ they’re used to, due to its 70:30 PG / VG ratio.

User review:
“I have used various vape liquids over time but find this one the best.
As a former smoker, I don’t like all the flavours; I just want a tobacco type flavour. This gives me that and is excellent value.”
Why you should buy it:
As Hangsen is not only our best-selling brand but also one of the world’s best-known e liquid brands, we had to include another of its products in our article. Whichever Hangsen e liquid you try, you're guaranteed exceptional taste and a memorable vaping experience.
Another e liquid with a five-star rating on our website, the USA Mix is popular among vapers due to its smoky and earthy flavour yet smooth and subtle texture, reminiscent of American cigarettes.
You’ll even notice light notes of hazelnut when you inhale, and you’ll get a good throat hit that’s pleasurable without being irritating.
This e liquid also reflects Hangsen’s unique tobacco growing method — it’s only harvested when the leaves begin to swell with sugar and turn yellow.
Hangsen is also renowned for its flue-curing technique — the tobacco is flue-cured to lock sugar into the leaves, which creates the USA Mix’s distinctive flavour.
It’s a staple of the American cigarette brands, and we’re certain you’ll love Hangsen’s unique interpretation of that traditional cigarette flavour.
Especially so if you recently quit smoking, due to its high PG percentage.
As mentioned above, this e liquid has a smooth, mild taste. If you’re looking for something a bit punchier, check out Vapemate’s American Red.
4. Dinner Lady — Straight Tobacco
Buy it on our website for: £2.49
(RRP: £3.99)
TRY STRAIGHT TOBACCO TODAYKey information:
- Sweet, rounded flavour
- 50% PG / 50% VG
- Suitable for starter and mouth-to-lung vape kits and pods
- Made in the UK
Flavour:
Classic tobacco with sweet and nutty notes
Bottle size:
10ml
Nicotine strengths:
6mg, 12mg, 18mg
User review:
“This e liquid provides excellent value and really good quality, with a nice smooth hit and flavour even in the higher strength.
I’m not a fan of the harsher tasting tobacco flavours, despite being a heavy smoker previously, so I found this to be the perfect tobacco flavour.”
Why you should buy it:
Dinner Lady is a Lancashire brand best known for its award-winning dessert-inspired e liquids.
However, its Straight Tobacco product shows that it can also provide compelling classic flavours.
Crafted from the finest ingredients, this e liquid is full, well-rounded, and a bold interpretation of a tobacco vape.
Its distinctive taste is made up of flue-cured Kentucky leaves blended with Burley and Virginia varieties.
Unlike the previous three e liquids in our article, this is a 50:50 blend of PG and VG. Therefore, it achieves the perfect balance of flavour delivery, a throat hit, and vapour production — as such, it’s better suited to bigger cloud vape kits.
It also contains slightly stronger hints of sweetness than some of the aforementioned e liquids, which may be more to your liking.
Straight Tobacco is one for the purists — and confirms why Dinner Lady is such a reputable vaping brand.

Why you should buy it:
UK-based company Vampire Vape has won numerous awards in recent years, including multiple Best E Liquid awards, demonstrating its expertise and popularity among users.
Vampire Vape’s Sweet Tobacco e liquid is a further testament to the brand’s expertise and has been created by its dedicated flavourists.
The result of their endeavours is a light tobacco flavour with a woody base and a smooth aftertaste.
You’ll also notice caramel undertones when you inhale — this is the perfect e liquid for those who have a sweet tooth and want to satisfy their cravings.
Overall, Sweet Tobacco is a subtle, wholesome, well-balanced e liquid suitable for all-day vaping.
This e liquid is available in four nicotine strengths: the 0mg, 6mg, 12mg, and 18mg strengths provide a higher concentration of PG if you prefer something thinner, whereas the 3mg strength is 50:50 and thus very slightly sweeter and thicker.

VIP’s products are always great quality, but this is my go-to e liquid because of its simple, clean, and uncomplex taste.”
Why you should buy it:
VIP is a brand with a rich heritage and continuous commitment to innovation.
It’s one of the UK’s oldest electronic cigarette companies, having existed for more than ten years, and it’s known for selling premium products — arguably the most popular of which is British Gold.

7. VGOD — Cubano Silver
Buy it on our website for: £3.99
(RRP: £4.99)
Key information:
- Varied flavour profile

- Suitable for sub-ohm vape kits
Flavour:
Classic cigar tobacco with brown sugar, custard, honey, and vanilla
Bottle size:
10ml
Nicotine strength:
20mg
User review:
“This is the best tobacco e liquid I’ve tried after trying some nasty ones. It’s got a premium quality taste to it — it’s very nice and it has a hint of vanilla.”
Why you should buy it:
Cubano Silver is our wildcard selection if you’re daring enough to think outside the box and try an e liquid packed with flavour.
Cigar connoisseurs will love this one from premium American vaping brand VGOD, which is the brand’s worldwide best-seller.
As it’s a nic salt product, it gives a fast-acting, powerful nicotine hit, if this is what you want.
It provides the classic taste of a Cuban cigar — you’ll feel like you’re kicking back in the Havana sun — but with a twist.
The wood-smoked tobacco notes are counteracted by soothing notes of vanilla, honey, and brown sugar to create a whole new dimension of flavour. You’ll also detect some spices when you try this — your taste buds won’t know what to expect next, which is the beauty of this e liquid.
Cubano Silver features a 55% VG consistency. This concentration creates a deep flavour and a relatively cloudy vape when you use it in a pod device or starter kit.
Cubano Silver is only available in a nicotine strength of 20mg, making it particularly suitable for heavy smokers who recently transitioned to vaping.
It is an impressively flavourful introduction to tobacco vape juice, if you’re looking for something unique and want to take your palate to another part of the world.
8. Nasty Juice — Bronze Blend
Buy it on our website for: £11.65
(RRP: £13.99)
TRY BRONZE BLEND TODAY
Key information:
- Smooth, rich taste
- Earthy tones
- Nicotine-free
- 70% VG / 30% PG
- Suitable for sub-ohm vape kits
Flavour:
Rich tobacco with hints of caramel and vanilla
Bottle size:
50ml
Nicotine strength:
0mg (If you want to vape with nicotine, you can add your own nicotine shot)
User review:
"I just love the Nasty Juice Bronze Blend.
The taste and smell are fantastic, and I'm always getting asked what it is as it smells amazing.
The hit as you inhale is just like a cigarette. I smoked for 40 years, and this is the only juice I take to stop the craving."
Why you should buy it:
Malaysian brand Nasty Juice has been around since 2015 and is globally recognised for its range of exotic, fruit-based e liquids.
However, in recent years, the brand has branched out and begun exploring new avenues such as smooth tobacco e liquids, one of which is its Bronze Blend.
Part of a series including silver and gold editions, the Bronze Blend contains a rich tobacco base.
When you inhale, you’ll taste the woody, earthy flavours, and when you exhale, you’ll detect the natural, dessert-style sweetness of the caramel and vanilla.
This e liquid is ideal if you’re looking to bridge the gap between smoking and vaping. It’s also perfect for sub-ohm vaping due to its 70% VG concentration.
For those who aren’t familiar with the term, sub-ohm vaping is where you use a vaping device containing a coil with a resistance of below 1ohm.
An ohm is a unit of electrical resistance and a sub-ohm device will pair low-resistance coils (of below 1ohm) with a battery that can output a high wattage. This process results in larger vapour clouds than you would produce through regular vaping.
So, if you like to create big clouds and want to get that deeper inhale, you need to get your hands on the Bronze Blend.
It costs more than the other e liquids in our article, but this is because it comes in a much bigger quantity.
The Bronze Blend contains 50ml of nicotine-free — or 0mg — liquid supplied in a short fill bottle that has enough room left at the top for you to add the 10ml nicotine shot of your choice.

User review:
“I enjoyed this juice a lot. You can tell it’s best enjoyed by a fan of the tobacco liquids. The toffee flavour comes in later and gives you hints of vanilla, but they don’t go over each other and work well.”
Why you should buy it:
Doozy Vape Co is an award-winning, globally recognised e liquid brand based in Yorkshire, and it’s renowned for using a unique variety of flavours in its products.
Its Golden Elixir e liquid is proof of its innovative approach and attention to detail. Golden Elixir fuses mellow tobacco notes with caramel, toffee, and vanilla to produce an irresistible mixture that’ll provide a premium vaping experience.
You’ll notice the light and smoky tobacco notes on the inhale and the rich sweetness on the exhale — this perfect balance will more than satisfy your sweet tooth and help you stave off the cigarettes.
The variety here reiterates Doozy Vape Co’s core brand message, which is that it has “a flavour for every vaper”.
