Best Ripe Vapes Flavors: Our Top 7, Led by VCT
The most popular Ripe Vapes flavors are tobacco blends, led by VCT. VCT vape juice mixes vanilla, custard and tobacco, and it sells far more than any other Ripe Vapes flavor at our store. After that come VCT Bold, VCT Black and San Juan Platinum. Each of these flavors comes two ways: a 120ml bottle for tanks, or a 30ml bottle of Ripe Vapes Saltz for pod kits. There are two Ripe Vapes disposables in VCT, too.

The best Ripe Vapes flavors
1 VCT
VCT is our best-selling Ripe Vapes flavor by far. This VCT vape juice starts with a smooth tobacco on the inhale, and then a silky vanilla custard comes through on the exhale. So far, 1,700+ customers have bought the 120ml bottle, and about 1 in 3 came back for more. The Saltz version has 930+ customers of its own, too. Shop VCT 120ml, or get VCT Saltz 30ml for a pod kit.
Best for: anyone who wants a sweet, creamy tobacco.
Good to know: It’s a dessert-style tobacco, so it’s not for anyone who wants a plain, dry tobacco.
2 VCT Bold
VCT Bold keeps the vanilla custard of the original VCT vape juice, but it uses a bolder, more full-bodied tobacco. Its Saltz version is our second-best-selling Ripe Vapes salt: 240+ customers have bought it, and about 1 in 5 came back for more. Another 130+ customers have bought the 120ml bottle. Shop VCT Bold 120ml, or get VCT Bold Saltz 30ml.
Best for: VCT fans who want a stronger tobacco taste.
Good to know: If you’re new to Ripe Vapes, start with the original VCT, since Bold leans harder on the tobacco.
3 VCT Black
VCT Black is a darker take on the original VCT, with bold tobacco, aged vanilla and custard. It’s also one of the newest Ripe Vapes flavors we carry. Shop VCT Black 120ml, or get VCT Black Saltz 30ml.
Best for: VCT fans who want a deeper, richer version.
Good to know: It’s new, so it has far fewer sales behind it than VCT.
4 San Juan Platinum
San Juan Platinum is a creamy tobacco, but it has no custard. Its flavor profile lists just two notes, tobacco and cream, so the tobacco stays up front. Shop San Juan Platinum 120ml, or get the Saltz 30ml.
Best for: tobacco fans who want cream without vanilla custard.
Good to know: It has no vanilla or custard, so it’s less of a dessert than VCT.
5 VSC
VSC is the only one of these Ripe Vapes flavors with no tobacco. Instead, its profile is vanilla, caramel and a hint of salt, like a salted caramel dessert. Shop VSC 120ml, or get VSC Saltz 30ml.
Best for: dessert fans who want vanilla and caramel without tobacco.
Good to know: There’s no tobacco in it, so it isn’t a swap for VCT.
6 Coffee Tobacco
Coffee Tobacco blends dark roasted coffee with golden tobacco. Shop Coffee Tobacco 120ml, or get Coffee Tobacco Saltz 30ml.
Best for: coffee drinkers who also like tobacco.
Good to know: Its profile is just coffee and tobacco, so there’s no cream or custard.
7 Tobacco Cream
Tobacco Cream pairs an earthy, sun-cured tobacco with a warm, sweet cream. Like VCT Black, it’s also one of the newest Ripe Vapes tobacco flavors we carry. Shop Tobacco Cream 120ml, or get Tobacco Cream Saltz 30ml.
Best for: anyone who likes tobacco with a soft, creamy finish.
Good to know: Unlike VCT, it has no vanilla or custard in its profile.
Ripe Vapes disposables
Ripe Vapes also makes two disposables, and both come in VCT, its best-selling flavor. The Oak is a big rechargeable vape, while the Birch is a small one you use up and toss. Here’s how they compare.
| Spec | Oak | Birch |
|---|---|---|
| Puffs | Up to 35,000 in Normal mode, 25,000 in Turbo | Up to 800 |
| E-liquid | 18mL | 2mL |
| Nicotine | 50mg (5%) | Not listed |
| Battery | 800mAh, charges by USB-C | Built in, not rechargeable |
| Extras | Dual mesh coil, airflow control and a curved screen | None, just draw to vape |
When you want VCT on the go, get the Oak in VCT. If you just want to try the flavor, though, the Birch in VCT is the cheaper way in. The Oak also comes in eight fruit and mint flavors, such as Watermelon Ice and Mint Ice.
How to pick a Ripe Vapes flavor
Most Ripe Vapes flavors use tobacco, but each one pairs it with something different.
Tobacco with vanilla custard, like VCT, VCT Bold and VCT Black.
Tobacco with cream but no custard, such as San Juan Platinum and Tobacco Cream.
Coffee Tobacco pairs dark roasted coffee with golden tobacco.
VSC is a vanilla caramel with a hint of salt.
The bottle depends on your device. Ripe Vapes 120ml bottles are 70/30 VG/PG, with 3mg, 6mg or 12mg nicotine, so they suit sub-ohm tanks. Ripe Vapes Saltz, on the other hand, are 50/50 with 30mg or 50mg nicotine, so they suit pod kits. Our guides to sub-ohm vaping, PG and VG and freebase vs salt nicotine go deeper.
