I love how the new trend in E-Cig articles point out how the flavor does not compare to smoking tobacco. When the reality is it tastes much better. Kinda reminds me of the greasy spoon diners that locals swarm to because it tastes like the bland crap momma used to make. If it tastes different then it must be no good...

Taste is so very subjective. I would not say e-cigs taste better. I would say they taste different. Think about how many newbies come on this forum and want something that "looks exactly like a real cigarette and tastes like my Marlboro." It doesn't exist.
Sorry but my caramel (RY4,Riskee) is absolutely dreamy and my flavor quest ended right there. While I have zero experience with pipe tobaccos no cigarette or cigar can touch the overall pleasant taste of a nice juice dripped on a clean atomizer.
But your right about taste being subjective. Some are going to want and expect the taste of burnt leaves. But for something to offer so close a smoking experience without the harshness of inhaling actual smoke is a definite positive in my book.
I think it tastes better. I didn't think so back when I had dirty atomizers, burnt cartridges, and few flavors to try. But of course I never thought smoking tasted all that great.

Kick ejuice (Jane, who is currently redoing her site) to me taste exactly like a cigarette. Old stale socks and moldy towels and all. I have no idea how she does it.
I love me some grape e-juice. The flavor is very reminiscent of hookah(which I love).
What upsets me is how they say they are geared towards kids just because of the different flavors. No one says a thing about the mulitude of vodka and wine cooler flavors out there being geared towards kids. urrrrgggg!
They also keep touting that there is no age verification so kids can get them. I call Bullsh*t on that tactic! What part of having a credit card do they not understand? That would cut out almost all "kids" right there. Yeah, I know the Beverly Hills brats have them but that's a whole different problem and don't get me started on parents who aren't really parenting. "Ohmygawd, they come in flavors! That means it's a conspiracy!" Gimme a break! The fact that they have to make up reasons for why these are so bad says a lot. If they have to use logic and truth, they don't have much of a case to stand on. "Let's not let that stop us. We'll just make stuff up to support our stand that these things are a plot to get the children hooked."
No offense meant to Beverly Hills parents who take parenting seriously
