How have your tastes changed over time?

My preferences change all the time... makes it hard to stock pile favorite juices. I can vape a flavor for maybe 150-200mL max, then for some reason I just don't like it anymore. I started with tobaccos and it's still my favorite. Never got into fruit, I like some bakery... I guess my flavor preference haven't changed, just what liquid I like.
I've started vaping unflavored. I tried a year ago & didn't like it, but I really like it now. I'm really hoping it's the one thing I never get sick of. For now it's just like another flavor, I vape it maybe 30% of the time, but I'm hoping I start to prefer it to flavored juice. For me it's about $$$ and simplicity. It is CHEAP, and no worries about changing coils/bottles when switching flavors.
Unflavored, to me, is as close to a real cig as possible. I started with nothing but tobacco flavors. now I can't stand them and have gotten used to custards and creams. I DIY now and rotate between regular Custard, unicorn milk and Mothers Milk. I am still working on perfecting or finding a good cheesecake recipe. if you had said that is where I would be now, a year ago, I'd would have said no way.
Jdurand, I'm the same. When I first started, I never thought I'd like fruity flavors. I used to smoke hookah, and I would get sick of it really fast. Now I can't imagine going back to anything like a cig
I tastes the nearest to what I vaguely remember smoking to taste like...and it's incredibly cheap. Costs me <$5 per month.
I got into Unflavored as a way to Reduce the Potential Risks that using Flavorings may pose.
But what surprised me was How Much I liked the Taste of a Tank of Unflavored with a Drop or Two of Regular Flavored e-Liquid in it. Or by Priming a New wick with Flavored and then filling the Tank with Unflavored.
It just Taste more Refreshing than my Normal Flavored e-liquids. And I Didn't get "Flavor Burn Out" like I did with Regular e-Liquids.
So it was kinda a Win-Win.
It Taste Better. And I was Drastically Reducing the Potential for Flavoring related Problems.
ETA - Oh Yeah. It is Also Dirt Cheap to Vape. And a No Brainer to DIY.
So it is more like a Win-Win-Win-Win.
LOL
I started out on a coffee flavour as I figured if I was kicking smoking to the curb it would be easier not to use tobacco flavours, after a few months I moved onto fruit flavours and still mainly vape fruit flavours although choc fudge brownie is a new favourite. Recently purchased a bottle of capella cup of Joe as I like coffee and want a nice one to vape also a big fan of mrs lords druide which I guess is more alcohol drink flavour I treat myself to a bottle every Xmas 
. Now I diy I'm more open to trying new flavours as the cost is not an issue.

Thats me ! I may not have used the face melting stuff - lol... but everything was FULL flavor. I don't do a lot of completely unflavored, but I do use only tiny amount percentages. 1-2 % is perfect for me. I see folks using 10+ % and I think wow, that seems so high.
My flavor concentrates last a lot longer too !
Yeah... I just Don't Like the Taste of my 10+ % Mixes anymore. They just don't Taste very Refreshing anymore.
Kinda like when your Thirsty, and drinking a Soda isn't as Refreshing as Drinking Ice Cold Bottled Water. Or a Big Glass of Iced Tea with a Dash of Sugar.
I can understand that. It's one thing that I like about Alice in Vapeland. Their juice is very flavorful, but not overbearing. It doesn't give you that "full" feeling after vaping it. I've found a few clone recipes of theirs, and none use more than 15%. Much less than the 20+% some others use
Biggest change has been going from 'full flavor' to hardly any flavoring. I still buy pre-mixed concentrates, but mix them veery thinly. Some of the flavors are some of my first decent discoveries. But I do throw in a couple randoms every time I order.
I guess I get my 'flavor kicks' from coffee more than vaping. And... well... I don't want my vape flavors to interfere with my coffee.

The first ones I enjoyed were coffee flavored. Didn't like fruit or tobacco at all. Then I started liking fruits and went off coffee completely. After I started DIY I experimented more. Discovered vanilla and put that in almost everything. Currently use about equal amounts of banana nut bread, tobacco, and assorted fruits.
At first I needed very strong flavors. Seems like that's common while your taste buds recover. Now I use lower percentages than the normal recommendations. Less as time passes. Sounds like a lot of people, in this thread anyway, have moved to unflavored or lightly flavored. I think I'll try that.

I started off with the face melting stuff too. Even my first DIY's were all 20% flavoring, but like others stated they don't taste as good anymore. I'm down to around 5% flavoring in most of my juices. I started off with an RY4 that had a heavy maple flavor to it. That's what got me off the analogs. Then I found a few fruity flaves I liked and a white russian mix from a B&M that was pretty awesome. I've been playing with tobaccos the last couple of months and found several that I really like (latakia, pipe tobaccos, a black & mild that is spot on for the cigar, etc...). Unflavored is pretty good. I keep a bottle to clean my wicks so I can switch flavors without changing the cotton. I mix up a bottle of unflavored with a touch of menthol once in a while too. It's good to cleanse the palate when vape tongue strikes. But the menthol is difficult to get out of a tank, so I don't use it very often. I like DIY because I can mix up a dozen different flavors for what I used to pay for 1 bottle of juice and my tongue never gets bored.
When I first started I was into the fruity flavors, over time I got tired of those and moved into cereals/dessert. Now I almost exclusivly vape custard/milk type juices with very light undertones of fruit. For some reason most juices now give me a throat hit that I don't particularly enjoy and the custard/milk juices seem to be the smoothest hit for me
I was all about the menthol also....found it and loved it. Then came the desserts (creamy stuff), and I'm now on unflavored for about a year. It does change!!

My juice progression has been Menthol > Cherry > Atomic Fireball (this is the one that really changed me into being a vaper. It was strong enough to make me not miss smoking and changes my tastes) > Banana > Mix Fruits > Red Bull (My current daily vape for the past 1 and 1/2)
After a year and half I still love the complexity of various tobacco`s. Rarely I`ll vape a fruit or a desert (once a week?), but the tobacs are my main stay. I have about 16 different DIY flavors because its the variety of tobacco that really makes it fun and rewarding for me. Vaping some Inawara Turkish @9% right now with a little Tobacco Absolute added to make it pop. LOL, Its very ashy.
When i started everything was delicious. Something i wouldn't give a friend for free today was awesome then.
Then i apparently started to regain my taste and started to DIY. Put a lot less flavoring than the manufacturers in the store bought, and than the recommended dose, and tried 60ish flavors. To this day i haven't found a tobacco one that i really like (apart from the ex desert ship from fa).
But i've managed to ruin some of my favorite flavors for myself. For example, in one time period i vaped so much peanut butter chocolate and tiramisu that they make me gag today
Today i mostly do a fruit+sweet combo. Like strawberry + choco + coconut (yeah i know, but it works), or berries + hazelnut + choco etc.
It's fun to DIY
