A friend of mine wants me to make some juice that taste like a Marlboro cigarette. I’m willing to go above and beyond to help him quit smoking but… the recipe he wants me to make asks for m-type premium tpa. I understand they have changed the name to Bitter nut and bull city doesn’t carry it. I would go through wizard labs but I do t want to pay the shipping. Is there a good substitute for this flavor? I’ve never mixed with tobacco flavoring.

I thought “Red” tobacco was suppose to be the flavor equivalent of Marlboro. I’m not sure about that, I’ve never tried it, so … for what it’s worth …

You won’t do him any favors with that concentrate! 
Out of curiosity… what is your friends vaping setup? Atomizer/Mod?

I’m not too sure. I know it’s a smok. This is what he wants me to mix.
I pretty much stay away from the tobacco flavors. The only one I tried tasted like dirt. I really just think what’s the point of you don’t smoke cigarettes anymore. Lol.

Some folks have an ongoing, die hard, love affair with the taste of tobacco… I count myself in that group. 
Yes, there are some folks that feel the need for a cig like vape. However, in my travels of DIY since 2014, I never found a Marlboro-esque. combination of synthetic concentrates… tried just about everything, but nothing foot the bill.
Enter naturally extracted tobacco eliquids. If your friend wants something which resembles a real cig… tell him to shop here:

He won’t be disappointed! … Can’t say the same for synthetic eliquids.
If he likes NET-dot-com’s stuff… it’s easy enough to make your own NET; just don’t use prepackaged cigarettes… there’s some nasty shit in that tobacco!

I still like some menthol tobacco now and then. I have INW 555 gold and TFA western that taste good with menthol, but not sure how they are alone. I also have steeping a combo of Purilium/Nicotine River original tobacco and sweet tobacco from nicotineriver.com (who may also have what you are looking for) with menthol that was recommended by @Skullblade789 to replace the juice I used to buy, Smoke Crossroads Carolina Menthol. They have a juice that they compare to a Marlboro Red called Carolina Red. I bought a sample pack of their menthols, which are nic free, for $20, and added my own nicotine. They offer the same in a regular tobacco…

It is an excellent deal because the same size bottles are $10 each with nicotine. So there is a $40 savings and he can explore some other types of tobacco flavors that he will most likely enjoy once he starts vaping. I know that I certainly enjoy flavored nicotine, especially right after I quit smoking.
Maybe he should buy this sample pack and give it to you to add nicotine. Tobacco juices are at least a 4 week steep, these won’t need to steep, just shake in the tobacco. It’s a cheap option for him until you get the ingredients and steep the juice.
It’s really nice that you are helping him to quit!

I’d agree when it comes to trying to replicate a Marlboro. But try a nice aromatic pipe tobacco or a good Dominican maduro cigar and get back to me. If I thought I could replicate that in vape form I totally would. I’ve been hearing good things about some of Hangsen and FLV’s tobaccos, so I might look into it when I’ve got more time. Until then my vaping habits will satisfy my sweet tooth.

Have you tried NETS?

Can’t say I have. That’s another thing I’ve been hearing a lot about that I need to look into more when I’ve got the time. Once the summer is over I’ll definitely be looking into it.

These are NETS from my favorite Pipe Tobaccos. Really a sweet alternative to vaping just synthetics.

I’m definitely going to have him look into this. It was a kick in the pants to get him to try vaping for the first time. Now he’s totally into it and has been cig free for a couple weeks now. Now if I could get him into mixing his own juice. lol
