After buying hundreds of bottles from lots of vendors, I found one that I never get tired of. I do diy and change up now and then but I don't think I will ever tire of my favorite so I will keep buying that one since I have not been able to clone it.
The last 7 years I had one flavor that i could vape all day. Then I got the S&V and was really disappointed that it didn’t taste the same. It also killed my coil daily and I got tired of it. Didn’t have an ADV until a few weeks back and someone sent me a sample and I totally love it. However, the fact that I can vape it all day every day doesn’t mean I will. I want to use all my gear regularly and not have it sit down doing nothing. Different setups will have different flavors.
I have a rotation of 3-4 juices including unflavored that I use depending on my mood and situation. Every now and then I will try a different juice but it is usually a variant of my regular rotation. I had tried numerous juices in the past though.
I'd have to agree with you. I have a squonk that almost always has the same juice in it, and a few other mods with a bunch of rdas all with different flavors. I also started doing juice reviews so its gotten even worse. But there's so many great flavors out there, I won't limit myself to finding one I like and sticking with only that. Not even for the day unless I have to.
There are some juices that are so good they are close to being all ADV, and I can probably get through 50-75% of the day on one juice alone.
What I find is the flavour just becomes sickly if over-vaped and I need a change. The method I use is to use a dripper for variety, and a squonker/tank for the "main" flavour.
I also change main flavours daily. I couldn't vape the same flavour (unless it was truly exceptional) for more a few days running, even with other juices in the mix.
So variety is the key for me

I vape diy toasted almond every day, but not all day. I’ll have 3-4 devices in rotation every day, usually 2 RTAS and a little K1, a dripper if it’s been a stressful day ( don’t know why, they just hit the spot when I’m cranky lol)
I’ll use the same juice till I rewick. Usually find I refill the K1 with almond once per day, and one of the other tanks I’ll vape 2 or more tanks full. There’s always one that stands out. Right now I’m on a mint/vanilla kick in a Gear, which is smaller so I’m filling several times, maybe 12-15 mls a day.

Generally a dozen mods ready to pick up and vape, all different flavors.
While I do have 4 or 5 "regulars", that are always mixed and loaded, the rest will vary as my mixing goes.
I like the variety that vaping allows

There's something really therapeutic about dripping (and rebuilding decks). Don't know what it is, it just takes your mind off things ...
TFA toasted almond @10% stand alone- ymmv, but I like a strong flavor. Usually at 40pg/60vg for the K1 , but this flavor is so universal, it is just as good at any ratio, and has pretty much zero effect on any coils so I can get about 120 mls through a 1.8 ohm coil. Unheard of for any of my other mixes.
Well, I use unflavored or lightly flavored all day in my squonkers -- and by lightly flavored I mean, for example, 1 drop of TFA Menthol and 5 drops of EM in a 30ml refill bottle of unflavored, or 1 drop FA Vanilla Tahiti in 60ml. But then I have a few little bottles of "stronger" flavors (still perhaps 1/10th the flavoring of a commercial juice at most) that I'll occasionally drip on my squonk RDAs to flavor up the wick for a while.
Hmmm, that sounds like something I need to pick up on my next liquid supply order.
Another vote for unflavored here. Regardless of MTL, DTL, or my setup, I'm unflavored with somewhat different levels of VG/PG depending on the setup.
When I'm feeling REALLY crazy, I'll add in a little menthol concentrate that I made with menthol crystals and PG. Only just enough to be able to taste it though.
Unflavored really isn't unflavored, and I like the way it tastes when the nicotine ages/oxidizes a bit. I mix quite a bit in advance and like it after it's sat a while. I always mix at least a month before I need it. Guess it sounds silly to steep unflavored juice, but it does honestly make a difference.
I get why people like flavors, the best analogy above was the color vs black/white thing. At the same time, I love that I can easily get a month out of a pre-made coil, or only need to rewick my RDAs every two weeks or so.
I also don't have to deal with scrubbing flavored juice out of my gear to get rid of the taste. Some flavors seem to linger on for months. Most of my gear will only ever see unflavored juice. When I try to switch to unflavored in a tank/RDA where I previously used flavored juices, I can taste the old juice for a month easily. So these days, most of my gear is dedicated to unflavored juice. I only rarely use flavors, so I have maybe two toppers that I use flavors with. And I will NOT use flavored juice in any of my squonkers, lol.
Having to keep up with flavors (extra cleaning, maintenance, rewicking) just isn't worth it to me. I honestly prefer unflavored. After all, I vape for the nicotine. And although vaping is MUCH safer than smoking, I wouldn't call it harmless. The fewer ingredients I'm vaping, the better in my opinion.
