Amazing how vaping has changed for me. I vaped RY4s for years (obviously); now it's rare and only in passing, and then almost always DIY RY4s from my stash of all-in-one RY4 flavorings, where I lean toward Hangsen and FlavourArt. I made real tobacco extracts for two years from pipe blends and cigars. At this point, I have 2 liters of homemade NET extracts just sitting in a drawer, because I no longer vape tobacco juices.
I've switched to high-wattage regulated mods (some TC, but I still prefer straight VW) and sub-ohm tanks (Crown, FreeMax Starre Pro, and Goliath RTAs). I'm not quite a cloud-chaser, per se, but I vape direct-to-lung exclusively now and produce substantial clouds. I started vaping five years ago at 24mg nic and am now down to 3mg, which is pretty much a necessity for higher-wattage vaping. I needed substantial throat hit in the early years, and I still appreciate a little nic buzz, but I could vape zero nic now if required and be pretty happy. I don't need to, though, since I have 5 liters of 100mg nic in my freezer, which should be enough to last me for the rest of my life.
I've always enjoyed bakery/dessert juices, and those currently hold sway in my vaping, but I've added fruits to the mix. I'm totally committed to DIY. I buy an occasional retail juice on sale when deeply discounted, but I use those mainly as templates for homemade DIY clones. I have some concerns about diketones, diacetyl, and such, so---given my fondness for creamy, custardy flavors---I'm glad to see Capella and TPA/TFA moving to eliminate those potentially harmful ingredients from their flavorings, or at least add new V2 and DX lines.
