& THE HUNT FOR THE
P E R F E C T T O B A C C O VA P E
Vaping on that exhilarating e-cigarette to get your nicotine fix has become a normality for ex-smokers. At
first it was important getting your nicotine and tobacco cravings but once e-cigarettes raised its popularity,
many smokers were converting towards the alternative healthier option to unwind.
Strawberry, vanilla, mango, apple, caramel, and other sweet and savoury flavours became some of the
many popular flavours for e-liquids. Considering
many vapers are ex-smokers and still crave for that
aromatic tobacco flavour, Trabuco Vapors challenged
themselves in their mission to delivering a variety of
tobacco flavoured e-juices; however they understood
that cigarettes tasted horrible but pipe tobacco was
enjoyable.
Trabuco Vapors consists of five avid vapers: Robert,
Brett, Diesel, Travis and Mike. Just like many regular smokers, Robert, co-founder of Trabuco, smoked
two packs of cigarettes a day since the age of 17. He
tried numerous unsuccessful attempts to give up the
habit but when he was first introduced to e-cigarettes
back in 2012, that’s when he finally realised he can destress himself without risking his life. Robert and his
business partners were on the hunt for that rich and
authentic tobacco flavoured e-juice, but often failed to
find the perfect one to soothe their cravings.
Still searching for that rich tobacco taste, Robert and
his colleagues spent months to specifically create
their e-liquids to provide vapers with that REAL tobacco pipe flavour. As a result, Trabuco Vapors was
launched in 2013 where the cofounders produce their
own e-liquids in their juice kitchen located in Orange
County, California.
After searching for that correct formula, Robert and
his colleagues, decided to proceed with naturally
extracting flavours from flue cured tobacco leaves, as
well as making flavour extractions from nontobacco
sources. Since then, they have consistently used 100%
Vegetable Glycerine to create the base of all their extracts with no chemicals or alcohol in order to produce
e-liquids with an authentic tobacco taste.

One of their most popular e-juices sold worldwide is
‘Blackstar’, which is made from 2012 Flue Cured Virginia Tobacco garnished with graham cracker. Robert
informs Vapouround of the richness of the tobacco
taste in this particular e-juice which many vapers
have raved about online. It’s moments like these that
makes the co-founders proud to be serving the vaping
community with tobacco focused flavours. Trabuco
Vapors have experimented creating other flavours,
Robert tells Vapouround about their latest coffee flavoured e-juice, winchester, which debuted at the vape
expo in paris and was very popular.
Trabuco Vapors also specialises in making wooden mod stands and drip tips to compliment your
vaping-gear. Something different yet original, the
Cup Caddy originated from co-founder’s background
in wooden pipes. As well as their natural hand crafted tobacco e-juice flavours, Robert and his business
partners, hand carve the drip tips and mod stands as
a historic nod to the tobacco pipes which developed
their profound passion for vaping.
Since opening store three years ago, Trabuco Vapors
understand their consumer’s needs in purchasing the
right flavour. Many vapers, just like the guys at Trabuco, had previous bad experiences when searching for
that right flavour to get the best throat hit without reducing the flavour. This is why Trabuco Vapors focus
on designing the best tobacco flavour for their vaping
consumers.
