What customers say about Special Blend Tobacco

★★★★★

Both products exceed expectations

“I had used a local source since starting vaping several years ago. After they closed, it was misery to find an acceptable alternative. I was fortunate enough to luck onto this website. Good descriptions of products helped me narrow down my options. I selected Black Note Special Blend, which I ordered. To cover bases, I also ordered the Special Blend 3.0. Both products exceed expectations. The full flavor 3.0 is probably my favorite but I also enjoy the lighter flavor of the Special Blend. The flavors are comparable, and the lighter version is just a bit smoother. I am totally pleased with both, and expect this to be my sole source for future purposes. Richard P.”

Thank you Black Note for helping me kick the cigarette habit

“I have used Special blend for a while now. I have used a lot of different juices and I finally found the right one for me. Special blend is the only one that I use. I was a heavy cigarette smoker. Special blend is the closest alternative that I’ve found. I like not having that cigarette smoking smell. Thank you Black Note for helping me kick the cigarette habit.”

★★★★★

It is now my favorite of your juices

“I originally went with the Special Blend 3.0 because it was “full flavor”. Your website has a questionnaire to pick out a better flavor based on preferences and it recommended the “light” version of the Special blend. I bought some and it is now my favorite of your juices. All other tobacco juices run a close second.”

Your Special Blend Tobacco guide

Everything to know before you choose

Special Blend comes in two flavor profiles from the same three tobaccos.

Light Tobacco Flavor (Original) is the classic Special Blend: a smooth, easygoing cigarette taste, the one most people mean when they say Special Blend. Full Tobacco Flavor (3.0) is the same blend with more body and more tobacco on the exhale, for people who came from a full-flavor cigarette or from American Blend and found Light too mild.

CompareLight Tobacco Flavor (Original)Full Tobacco Flavor (3.0)
Tastes likeA smooth, light classic cigarette; reviewers say “mild,” “clean,” “like silver lights”The same cigarette with more body and a firmer exhale
Pick it ifYou smoked lights or golden packs, or you want an all-day tobacco that never gets heavyYou smoked full-flavor, or you tried Light and wanted more
Share of Special Blend soldAbout halfAbout half
Coil-friendlyYesYes

Customers split almost exactly in half between the two, and some keep both. If you are unsure, the Vape Quiz asks what you smoked and answers in under two minutes; one August reviewer bought Full on instinct, took the quiz, switched to Light, and now calls it his favorite.

Special Blend is a classic American cigarette taste: flue-cured Virginia for the mellow base, air-cured Burley for body, sun-cured Oriental for a light aroma, the same three tobaccos as American Blend and as the cigarettes most people smoked.

Both flavor profiles come in all three types. Bottle size, base ratio, and available strengths change.

Compatibility depends on the e-liquid type and the device or coil you use.

Real Virginia, Burley, and Oriental tobacco extract, distilled and micro-filtered after extraction, vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol, purified water, and nicotine when selected.

Most tobacco e-liquid is mixed from synthetic flavoring in an afternoon.

Before you order

Questions buyers ask about Special Blend Tobacco

Light Tobacco Flavor (Original) is the classic, smooth, lighter Special Blend; pick it if you smoked lights or want an all-day tobacco that never gets heavy. Full Tobacco Flavor (3.0) has more body and a firmer exhale; pick it if you smoked full-flavor or tried Light and wanted more. Customers split about half and half, and the Vape Quiz will tell you in under two minutes.

After natural extraction, Special Blend goes through an extra distillation and micro-filtration step that removes the residues that build up on a coil, and it has no sweeteners. You can use the same coil for up to 35mL before replacing it. Special Blend and Special Blend Menthol are our two coil-friendly blends; our richer blends need a coil change sooner.

Same three tobaccos, same classic cigarette lane. American Blend is the fuller, richer version and leaves more on a coil. Special Blend is smoother and lighter and coil-friendly. All-day pod: Special Blend. Fullest taste and you do not mind changing coils: American Blend.

Does it taste like a real cigarette? Light is a light cigarette taste on purpose, and a few customers who came from full-flavor cigarettes or American Blend find it too mild; Full Tobacco Flavor is the answer for them. Both are naturally extracted from real tobacco and neither is sweetened, which is what most reviewers mean when they say it tastes like a cigarette.

50VG/50PG is smooth in MTL pods and low-wattage devices. 70VG/30PG has more VG for bigger vapor in sub-ohm setups. Salt nicotine comes in higher strengths and gives a smoother pull in pod devices. VG and PG are the two liquids in every e-liquid; more VG means thicker vapor, more PG carries flavor and feels a little sharper.

Freebase (50VG/50PG and 70VG/30PG) comes in 0, 3, 6, 12, and 18 mg in a 60mL bottle. Salt nicotine comes in 20, 30, and 50 mg in a 30mL bottle. The selector shows what is in stock today. A pack-a-day smoker usually starts at 20 mg salt in a pod or 6 mg in 50/50; lights, 3 mg. Higher is not better.

No. Special Blend is naturally extracted from real tobacco leaf, with no artificial flavors, no added sweeteners, and no synthetic nicotine.

Yes. The 50VG/50PG and salt versions are made for MTL pods and low-wattage devices, and the coil-friendly purification step suits small pods best. The Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini is the pairing we stock.

Those pods are being withdrawn from the US. Special Blend is bottled e-liquid, naturally extracted from real tobacco: a smooth, classic cigarette taste, unsweetened and coil-friendly. It needs a refillable pod device such as the Vaporesso XROS 6 Mini, sold separately. In a pod, 20 mg salt is the usual start. More in our blu pod guide.

Start with Special Blend Tobacco, our top seller. It gives a smooth, classic cigarette taste from real Virginia, Burley and Oriental leaf. Pick Light Tobacco Flavor for something mellow, or Full Tobacco Flavor for more depth.

Yes. Special Blend Tobacco is a bottled e-liquid, so it goes in a refillable pod system or tank instead of a sealed disposable. You buy the device once and refill it, rather than replacing the whole vape each time it runs dry.

A refillable pod system and a bottle of e-liquid such as Special Blend Tobacco. Pod systems are small and draw like a disposable, so the feel is familiar. Browse our Pod Systems section, or take the Vape Quiz and we’ll point you to a match.

Check the strength printed on your disposable’s box. Many list 5% (50 mg/ml) nicotine salt. Special Blend Tobacco Salt Nicotine comes in 2% (20 mg/ml), 3% (30 mg/ml) and 5% (50 mg/ml), so you can match what you’re used to.

Most disposables lean on fruit and candy flavors. Special Blend Tobacco is naturally extracted from real tobacco leaf, with no synthetic flavorings, so it tastes like tobacco, not dessert.

Special Blend Tobacco works in any refillable (open) pod system or tank. It won’t work in sealed, pre-filled pods or disposables, because those can’t be refilled.

    This is the best tobacco vape juice I’ve ever had… at times I can taste a very mild sweetness to it, but the taste is as consistent as it gets for vape juice. The flavor is constantly reminding me of pure tobacco flavors. Not in a triggering way but always in a complete satisfaction of what I’m looking for.

    Been waiting my whole life.

    Wow! Just Wow. if you are like me and are tired of your "tobacco" e-juice tasting like a cinnamon roll or some high sugar candy this is the answer. if you are like me and are tired of burning coil after coil while you tried to gag down the super sweet flavors this is the answer. I have been vaping now for a good 15 years on and off. Some of the things that sent me back to the old gross analogs of fire were too sweet tobacco juices and no throat hit. well this has fixed both of those problems. I was quite skeptical since I have tried so many flavors before each one just not quite hitting the spot and leading me back to the smoke. I was about to go pick up a pack of camels and found this Black note special blend 3.0. and let me say I just saved myself a heck of a bad winter coughing my brains out and likely getting some chest illness from the evil of RJ Reynolds. if you are on the fence too just save yourself a lot of phlegm and smelling lile an ashtray and try this. Now in all honesty to me it doesnt taste like a burning cigarette but it also doesnt taste like some over sweetened brown sugar baked goods either. it kinda reminds me of what a cig smells like before you light up and I went with the 5% because I am no slouch and it definitely hots the throat. I decided to pick it up along with a Oxva nexlim pod system and so far three days strong the vape is still chugging through still giving me the hit and it definitely has the right amount of nic to keep me from raging at the family. plus I still dont stink like I just stepped out of a bar on a long night of drinking. no leaking either which I was worried being a 50/50 mix. All that and and it actually still produces a good amount of vapor with the right thickness to feel like you are getting something. So be like me dont be a slouch dot quit quitting and grab a few bottles of this delicious tobacco flavor that will keep you smelling fresh as linen while you enjoy the guilty pleasure of a relaxing vape.

    Pods Last a Month Now!

    My wife and I have been using the Special Blend for 4 or 5 months now, and the pods last about a month now if you don't run them dry. We were about to change devices before we tried it because our pods were only lasting about a week. Now what we save in pods more than makes up for the cost difference in the Special Blend. It truly is a game changer. We were previously using the Kentucky Tobacco flavor, and we like the Special Blend just as much.

    Improving

    I originally gave Special Blend a so-so review. I thought it was too bland compared to the American Blend that I had been using. I have changed my mind. I have found it to have a much cleaner taste. I can also use each pod longer. They now last a couple of weeks before I need to change. I tried mixing the American and Special blends and that is what changed my mind. I'm now a Special Blend gal for the long haul!
