I have an awesome local store, and have been doing research online of different ejuice flavors.... Everything seems to be dessert or fruit flavored! Is there a reason? I've got the atomic cinnamon, and tobacco, but even the cinnamon gets too sweet for me and doesn't satisfy the analog craving. Any suggestions? Are my taste buds just dulled from smoking? Right now, I don't feel that vapimg a banana cream pie is going to help me...

LOL, yeah, a lot of us started out like that. Give it a few months to a year, your poor taste buds will recover form smoking, and your brain will stop thinking it has to look or taste like a cigarette at all to be good nicotine.

After a while it isn't about replacing an analog, it's about what you like to vape and, for most that equates to what you like to eat. Then it hits you, all those fattening, bad for you sweets need not be fattening or rot your teeth - you can vape them.

Yes I still enjoy a couple of tobacco flavors, no different than enjoying a good pipe or cigar when I did smoke analogs but, my waist line appropriates the 0 nic desert alternatives I enjoy too and, sometimes, nicotine just goes really well in my coffee, rocky road ice cream or, candy bar LOL.

Don't sweat it, you'll get there, and vaping that pie may never help you not smoke, but it might just taste pretty good anyway and, hey, no fat, no calories, no sugar but still yummy.

I started off with the tobacco flavors too but i found it let my mind keep thinking that smoking was an option. The flavors have kinda switched my thinking. When you start, you're just trying to replace smoking but the flavors "trick" you into thinking it's something totally different, if that makes any sense. Once your brain equates nicotine to something better, why would it want to go back to a bad flavor. Just my outlook on it.

I started out the same way. Did not want anything sweet. Wanted only tobacco or some kind of coffee flavor. Taste buds kept changing, but I stuck with it and now I do enjoy some fruit flavors. Still like a good tobacco every now and then. I find when my taste buds are off that a good menthol flavor helps. And I never smoked menthol analogs in my life, but a menthol vape is rather tasty. Try different juices, you will eventually find your sweet spot. Good luck and VAPE ON:vapor:

For the first couple weeks of vaping, I used a tobacco/toffee flavor. Then I quit the ciggies entirely, and tried some sweet flavors for a week. When I went back to that original flavor, I didn't like it anymore, so I gave it away to another new vaper. This may happen to you, and it may not! Most vendors seem to have some decent tobacco blends, too - so sample away until you find your favorites!

I'd recommend trying some samples of Heathers Heavenly Vapes NET tobaccos. Legend and Huntsman being quite a nice tobacco with little to no sweetness whatsoever, they also are both quite good without steeping(recommended you do). Heavenly Tobacco is also very good with tobacco and a nice creamy/malty finish. Enjoyed Dragons Kiss and Pirates Booty too.

Honestly i didn't find one juice that disappointed me and i tried quite a few.

Nothing will ever taste like a death stick(thankfully), so just be prepared for that.

Haha oh man I was the total opposite. I was thinking, I can vape mint chocolate icecream and get a buzz? Hell yeah!

Oh and a reccomendation, Alien Visions has a really popular blend call Boba's Bounty everyone seems to like that's a tobacco flavour. I just bought some and am waiting on the order, maybe that my satisfy your palate?

I think that e-liquids naturally lend themselves to a sweet flavor, because of the VG, which they all have. Strangely, it's helped me sort out vendors/manufacturers; those that have a lot of fruity flavors usually have simple e-liquid flavors, and can't make a tobacco flavor if their life depended on it.

I'm not into the fruits (yet!) but I like the caramels, and even enjoy a lemon-lime once in a while (does that count as a fruit?).

I'm fairly new to this too and do find the fruit and dessert flavors to be a little weird, but I guess that's the whole point of vaping - it's not smoking. With that said, two weeks into vaping a "tobacco" flavor (which tasted like pure caramel to me), I took a puff off one of my leftover American Spirits and it was disgusting! It was at that point that a light went on in my head and I realized that the stuff I'm "smoking" now actually tastes good. Now I find myself craving the flavors of my ejuice and it's a welcome change. Whatever works to keep people off analogs is cool with me!

PS, if someone makes a killer pumpkin pie juice, please let me know ;)
