Smell
I hardly get any flavor at all out of the bottle. I get just a hint of mild tobacco.
Taste
I used the Pharaoh RDA built at 0.59 ohms, using a single Clapton coil, on top of the Smok Alien at 40 watts. This is probably the closest you’ll ever get to finding a cigarette flavor. It reminds me of taking a drag on an unlit cigarette. You just get a light tobacco taste. It has a very small amount of sweetness mixed with a mild blend of slightly nutty natural tobacco flavor. This would be perfect for a smoker just switching to vaping. They did a great job here.
Where To Get It
You can get Prelude in 30ml bottles for $29 from blacknote.com. It’s a little pricey, but this is Naturally Extracted Tobacco, and NET e-juices are harder to make and use more expensive ingredients, so it’s common for them to be a little expensive.
If you’re unsure of dropping $29 on this, I recommend buying their Ensemble sample pack for $59 instead. You’ll get six 10ml bottles of every one of their flavors so that you can try them all out and find the flavors you like best.
