Special Blend E-Liquid: The Coil-Friendly American Blend

Are you seeking the classic cigarette taste of our American Blend but frustrated with frequent coil changes due to gunk buildup? Our Special Blend E-Liquid is the solution. It’s the American Blend you love, now enhanced with additional filtration for unparalleled coil friendliness, offering a clean vaping experience.

Perfect for those transitioning from traditional smoking to vaping, it authentically captures the flavors of most iconic cigarette brands.

Utilizing advanced extraction technology, “Special Blend” offers a familiar yet healthier vaping alternative, free from artificial flavors, sweeteners, colors, and synthetic nicotine. What’s more, it allows you to use up to 60ml of Black Note liquid with a single coil!

Flavor Profile: Classic Cigarette Taste

Black Note’s Special Blend E-Liquid masterfully combines Virginia, Burley, and Oriental tobaccos to deliver an authentic classic cigarette taste. This blend mirrors the rich flavors found in popular American cigarette brands such as American Spirit, Marlboro, Lucky Strikes, Camel, Parliament, Benson & Hedges, and Salem. The natural sweetness of Virginia tobacco merges seamlessly with the robust flavors of Burley and Oriental tobaccos, offering a balanced and rich natural cigarette taste. 

Tobacco Varieties and Their Unique Qualities

Our Special Blend is a tribute to the rich history of tobacco crafting, featuring:

  • Flue-Cured Tobacco (Virginia or FCV): Known for its sweet taste and aroma, this tobacco is rich in flavor with a superior nicotine-to-sugar ratio. The flue-curing process enhances its natural sweetness, contributing significantly to the blend’s overall flavor profile, making it a natural tobacco vaping liquid.
  • Burley Tobacco: Essential for its impactful taste and aroma, Burley tobacco is typically air-cured, resulting in a rich mahogany red color and higher nicotine content. This adds depth and robustness to the blend.
  • Oriental Tobacco (Turkish): Sun-cured and highly aromatic, Oriental tobacco adds a unique sweetness to the blend. Its top grades in lemon to orange and greenish colors are indicative of its high quality and sugar content.

What is Special Blend E-Liquid?

Special Blend E-Liquid is our renowned American Blend, taken to the next level with an advanced selective purification process. This process, meticulously developed by our Ph.D. chemists, takes three times longer than our standard tobacco extraction. It effectively removes waxes, sugars, and heavy oils, which are the main causes of coil gunk. The result is a transparent, clean liquid that delivers the authentic American Blend taste with significantly reduced coil gunking.

The Unique Qualities of Special Blend for a Healthier Alternative

Special Blend stands out for its purity and coil longevity. Our latest Tobacco Extraction Technology ensures that the classic taste of our American Blend is preserved, while dramatically reducing the need for frequent coil replacements. This innovative approach means you can enjoy up to 60ml of E-Liquid in a small pod before experiencing any coil burn, ensuring a pure e-liquid taste and minimal burning sensation even after multiple uses.

Designed for those who appreciate the classic cigarette flavor of our American Blend and seek a hassle-free vaping experience, Special Blend offers a smoother, cleaner, and more cost-effective vaping journey.

FAQ's

What does Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) taste like and how close is Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) to a classic cigarette?

Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) is built to taste like a classic American style cigarette rather than a sweet or dessert vape. It uses a three leaf mix of Virginia, Burley and Oriental tobaccos, the same style of blend used in many well known cigarette brands. Virginia adds a soft natural sweetness and aroma, Burley brings body and a slightly drier, richer backbone, while Oriental contributes a light aromatic spice.

The result is a clean, balanced tobacco flavor that is very close to the experience popular cigarette brands, but without artificial flavors, sweeteners, colors or synthetic nicotine.

How is Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) different from American Blend (Salt Nicotine) and why choose Special Blend (Salt Nicotine)?

Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) starts from the same American Blend style recipe (Virginia, Burley, Oriental) but then goes through an additional selective purification step. Black Note describes it as a coil friendly version of their acclaimed American Blend that has been voted “The Best Tobacco E liquid” by Vaping360.

During this extended extraction, waxes, sugars and heavy oils are selectively removed since these are the main causes of coil gunk.

You still get the same classic cigarette taste, but the liquid is clearer, cleaner and much easier on coils. Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) is the better choice if you love American style tobacco but are tired of pods darkening quickly or needing frequent coil changes.

What is the difference between Original Special Blend and Special Blend 3.0 within the Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) range?

On the Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) page you can choose between Light Tobacco Flavor (Original Special Blend) and Full Tobacco Flavor (Special Blend 3.0).

Original Special Blend is the lighter interpretation, described as a light classic cigarette taste that keeps the profile smooth and easygoing, ideal if you prefer silver or gold label style cigarettes.

Special Blend 3.0 is the full tobacco option, with a fuller, richer classic cigarette taste that leans closer to red or black label brands and will feel more robust on the palate. The underlying tobacco blend and coil friendly purification are shared, but Special Blend 3.0 is tuned for vapers who want more body and intensity from Special Blend (Salt Nicotine), while Original Special Blend stays on the softer side.

What makes Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) so coil friendly and how much Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) can I run through one coil or pod?

Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) uses an advanced selective purification process that takes about three times longer than Black Note’s standard tobacco extraction. This process removes waxes, sugars and heavy oils from the naturally extracted tobacco, which are the main compounds that caramelize and form gunk on coils.

The result is a very clear liquid that stays cleaner in pods and tanks. Black Note notes that Special Blend allows you to use up to about 60 mL of their e liquid on a single coil in a small pod before you start to notice coil burn, which is significantly more than typical N.E.T. tobacco liquids.

Real world coil life will still depend on your device, resistance, wattage and how often you vape, but many users report running multiple 30 mL bottles of Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) through a pod before needing to replace it.

What nicotine strengths does Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) come in and how do I choose 20 mg, 30 mg or 50 mg?

Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) is offered in three strengths that mirror classic cigarette categories. Ultra Lights (Silver label) use 20 mg salt nicotine and provide a gentle, classic cigarette taste for lighter smokers or anyone who wants a softer hit. Lights (Gold or White label) use 30 mg salt nicotine and give a balanced throat hit that suits most former pack a day smokers. Full Flavors (Red or Black label) use 50 mg salt nicotine and are intended for heavy smokers or those who want a strong, full bodied cigarette style impact from a pod device.

If you are unsure where to start with Special Blend (Salt Nicotine), 30 mg is usually a safe middle ground and you can move down to 20 mg or up to 50 mg on your next bottle depending on how satisfied you feel.

What devices and settings work best with Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) and can I use Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) in a sub ohm tank?

Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) is designed for low wattage, mouth to lung pod systems, not high power sub ohm setups. The product page specifically recommends using salt nicotine with ultra low wattage pod based systems, higher resistance coils of 0.8 ohm or higher and power levels that do not exceed about 15 watts.

This range lets the nicotine salt deliver a smooth yet intense hit without overheating the liquid or making the throat hit harsh. It also lists the Vaporesso XROS 4 Mini Pod Kit as a suggested pairing.

Using Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) in sub ohm tanks at high wattage is not recommended, because the combination of high nicotine and very large vapor volume can feel uncomfortably strong.

How is Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) made and what ingredients are used in Special Blend (Salt Nicotine)?

Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) starts with real, organic Virginia, Burley and Oriental tobacco leaves that are hand selected, cured (flue cured, air cured and sun cured) and then extracted using an advanced natural extraction process.

The Special Blend purification step takes three times longer than standard extraction and removes waxes, sugars and heavy oils while preserving the tobacco’s aromatic compounds.

The finished e liquid uses natural tobacco extract, nicotine derived from tobacco leaves that meets or exceeds EP and USP standards, USP Kosher certified vegetable glycerin, high grade USP Kosher propylene glycol, purified water and benzoic acid.

There are no artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners or synthetic nicotine and the line is tested to ensure it is free from compounds like diacetyl, acetyl propionyl, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, acrolein and acetoin.

What is the VG PG ratio of Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) and how does that affect the way Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) vapes?

Black Note’s nicotine salt range, including Special Blend (Salt Nicotine), is built around a balanced 50 VG and 50 PG profile. Their salt nicotine category and educational content note that salt liquids typically use a 50/50 blend to balance flavor, throat hit and vapor production in MTL devices.

In practice, the 50 percent PG side helps carry the complex Virginia, Burley and Oriental flavors clearly and provides a cigarette like throat sensation. The 50 percent VG side adds smoothness and a moderate amount of vapor without overwhelming small pod coils. That makes Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) thin enough to wick efficiently in most pods while still feeling satisfying and familiar for former smokers.

Is Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) a good option if I am switching from traditional cigarettes or disposable vapes?

Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) is designed specifically as a classic cigarette style tobacco for adults who want a realistic tobacco experience in a smoke free format. The flavor is modeled on well known American cigarette brands and the nicotine salt strengths (particularly 30 mg and 50 mg) are tuned so that a few short puffs in a pod give a satisfying “cigarette break” feeling.

Because Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) is naturally extracted, free of candy flavors and heavily reduced in coil gunking components, it is also a strong alternative to sweet, disposable style vapes for people who want something cleaner and more tobacco focused. It is not a medical smoking cessation product, but it is built for adult smokers who want authentic tobacco taste, smooth nicotine delivery and coils that stay clear for longer.

How does Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) compare to the regular Special Blend freebase e liquid, and which should I choose?

Special Blend freebase and Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) share the same underlying tobacco blend and coil friendly purification, so the core flavor is very similar. The key difference is the nicotine chemistry and how each version is meant to be used. The freebase Special Blend is intended for standard 50/50 or 70/30 setups at lower to moderate strengths, where nicotine is in freebase form and the throat hit increases sharply as you go higher. Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) combines nicotine with benzoic acid to create a salt, which lowers pH and makes higher strengths like 30 mg and 50 mg much smoother in a compact pod device while keeping flavor stable and extending shelf life.

If you mainly use pod systems and want high nicotine with a smoother feel, Special Blend (Salt Nicotine) is the better fit. If you prefer traditional tanks or lower nicotine levels, the freebase Special Blend may suit you more.

  1. Good but a bit bland

    Mel

    Nice and smooth. I use the salt with MTL. Personally I find Special Blend 3.0 to be very mild. I mix it with Ry4 or coffee/caramel and it’s perfect. Nice throat hit with delicious flavor. Alone, a but too blamd.
  2. Good but a little bland

    Mel

    I use the salt with MTL device. I like it but for me, American Blend flavor is more robust. I usually Special Blend with RYE4 or Coffee Toffee and it’s perfect!
  3. OK but prefer American Blend

    Mel

    Not a huge fan. Tastes bland to me. I prefer the bolder more authentic taste of American blend. I use the salt and a pod kit
  4. Best Product on the Market!

    bgrichter2010

    I started using Black Note Salt Nicotine in October of 2023, and switched to the Special Blend Salt Nicotine the end of November in 2023. I have never looked back. The flavor is outstanding -- closest thing to the cigarettes I used to smoke, and using the Special Blend Virginia Tobacco Salt Nic is the best blend I have ever tried. It has absolutely made me not miss cigarettes at all. The Special Blend is definitely coil friendly, and the pods last SOOO much longer using the Special Blend. It is a beautiful almost clear color, and the taste is consistently on point - every bottle, every time. When I get down to my last bottle, I order two more! I have reduced to 2% nicotine over time, and I could not be more pleased with this product. My daughter uses their Special Blend Menthol and she loves it too! I really believe if you try this product, you will never feel the need to try anything else.
  5. Daniele Ciocio

    Love this product because it is super smooth and tastes like tobacco without sweeteners and is naturally extracted. Highly recommended after 2 years of use.
  6. Special BlendF

    wexler.paul03

    I am new to vaping, I thought it would taste like a cigarette, but to me it tastes like an orange, not unpleasant though. Will still order again.
  7. Glad I found Black Note

    scottandrosesowers

    I had been a loyal customer of a vape company for a few years and then all the sudden with no warning I went on the site and was informed that they were shutting down the store and sales in the USA. I decided right then and there I would find an American only company for my vape supplies or I would go back to cigars. Thank goodness I found Black Note. Excellent salt nic juice, best I have ever had and a bonus of all natural tobacco. Thank you Black Note you have earned a new loyal customer with me. :)
  8. Smooth full body flavour

    Svitlana Schwarzer-Strom

    Whilst I like both special blends, I do prefer the latest edition (v3) for a fuller more round taste - sort of evening blend vs lighter version 2 for the daytime (Chianti vs Chianti reserva if it makes sense). In terms of their coil friendliness - can’t tell the difference vs the latest collection Natural (which is a huge difference compared to older balcknote editions)
  9. Special Blend, Very Coil Friendly

    falcomi

    A very clean taste, although a bit light on flavor. The best part is how long coils last with this. I would recommend if you like the American Blend, very similar.
  10. Not bad but...

    Raul Caban

    Not as good as the original special blend as it has a touch of sweetness that I find in the 3.0 lacking.
