In the world of tobacco e-liquids, Ben Northon occupies a place of its own. This French brand has established itself as a benchmark for vapers after authentic, complex, well-built tobacco profiles — a world away from the generic tobaccos flooding the market. Here is what makes it unique, and why it ranks among the most sought-after brands at Unicorn Vape.
Who is Ben Northon?
Ben Northon is a French brand devoted exclusively to tobacco e-liquids. Its positioning is clear: to offer carefully worked tobacco profiles, with genuine aromatic complexity, for demanding vapers who will not compromise on their experience. Every e-liquid comes in a 50ml bottle, ready to take a nicotine booster to make 60ml at 3mg.
The Ben Northon range
The range splits into three broad families, according to intensity and the notes that go with the tobacco:
Blond tobaccos with character
Pure, dry or lightly roasted — for anyone who likes it straight:
- Indian Spirit — a blond tobacco with character, dry and natural. Back to basics.
- Buffalo Edition — blond tobacco with a roasted note, ideal for starting the day.
- Road Five — toasted blond tobacco that moves through golden then roasted notes before rounding off with a sweet finish.
Sweet blond tobaccos
Tobaccos lifted by a sweet note or a signature ingredient — more approachable, and very moreish:
- Love Blond — sweet blond tobacco with peanut flavours, amber-tinged sensations and a nicely rounded throat feel.
- California Queen — blond tobacco blended with roasted pistachios. A refined, tasty pairing.
- Oregon Jack — blond tobacco, honey and cashew. Smooth, aromatic, unmistakable.
- Monterey King — authentic blond tobacco subtly enriched with sweet praline. The classic revisited, with a dessert edge.
Full-bodied, complex tobaccos
For anyone after power and aromatic depth:
- Gold Digger — a complex tobacco, at once smooth and lightly sweet, with woody notes and a nicely balanced hit.
- Black Horse — a powerful, complex tobacco you will have to tame. Not one for beginners.
- Reserve 1850 — a full-bodied, dessert-tinged tobacco to save for special occasions.
Who is Ben Northon for?
Ben Northon is aimed above all at vapers who want to recapture the sensation of a cigarette — without the compromises of a generic tobacco. The brand suits, in particular:
- ex-smokers who never quite find what they want in the market's standard tobaccos
- experienced vapers looking for complex, carefully built profiles
- anyone who likes vaping tobacco with a discreet sweet touch
