When I smoked cigarettes, I ONLY smoked menthols. I thought non-menthols just tasted boring, and I liked the minty feel in my mouth. But now that I'm using e-cigs, I find that I tend to use my non-menthol juices more, even though I have probably equal amounts menthol and non-menthol juice. Anyone the same way? I'm actually finding that creamy vapes is really more my thing, even more-so than fruity and coffee juices, which is initially what I thought I'd like the most at first.

It is strange isn't it? I can't say I'm too big of a fan of tobacco flavors, but they're not out of the picture for me. I bought a few bottles just to try and they were ok, definitely vape-able but not my go to vape. But I've been using them more when I'm having a few drinks, and it really hits the spot! Feels and taste more like an analog, which is what I'd always smoke when drinking in the past.

I'm also not really a sweets person but I find that I am really enjoying bakery/dessert flavors. Can't tell if my taste buds are still damaged or anything... I eat really spicy food sometimes, that might affect it?

I was never a menthol smoker, but did enjoy a menthol cig occasionally.
I've found I dislike any juice that even has a hint of menthol/mint in it...I've tried several.

I also thought that I'd really like a good tobacco RY4...but have only found one tobacco/honey flavor juice that I enjoy. Most taste sort of nasty to me. Also thought I'd like chocolate bakery flavors but...meh, not crazy about any so far.

Coffee/caramel/cinnamon/espresso and a couple of fruity vapes are really hitting the spot (and I like fruit, but dislike fruity candy, but I like vaping it....taste is a funny thing!)

I gave three tobacco flavors a shot, and couldn't stand any of them.

I find that most people draw to the opposite vape of what they smoked. Most menthol smokers aren't menthol vapers...and most non-menthol smokers enjoy menthol vape, but don't like tobacco flavored vapes. Because the vape flavor is never the same as the smoke flavor. As soon as a vaper realizes that the flavor isn't the same as what they had when they smoked, most abandon the flavor.

I was a menthol smoker. I've tried three menthol flavors. I liked "nuport" but it's not really available anymore, smooth ice is ok and green USA is ok, but I think i'm sucking down more juice than is good for me trying to replicate the strength and harshness of the pallmalls i smoked before.

So i've been seriously considering switching completely to the sweet fruit and desert flavors i've just been using occasionally to curb food cravings (I'm dieting as well as quitting smoking, am I a badass or what...)

Orobas, you should definitely switch to fruit and sweet flavors! It might help you curb your sweets cravings for your diet too.

I find that the menthol juices I like are usually more minty than menthol. Most menthols I've tried are just too strong, they really overpower the entire juice. You can find the best of both (or all) worlds really. My favorites so far are creamy, fruity, and minty all in one.

I was a menthol cig smoker for 45 years, now I can't stand a tobacco flavored vape. Menthol, peppermint, vanilla and fruit flavors are my standard vapes, occasionally a period using my version of Junior Mints.
Also I do not like the smell of cigarettes any more and last week I was around someone smoking a small cigar and almost lost my lunch.

I smoked Winstons for 11 years, with Camel's in there for a bit of change now and again....and once in a while I would grab a pack of pall mall straights.

I tried all sorts of flavors when I started vaping and am now sort of settled into a Peppermint/Mint/Spearmint mixture with a bit of Maple added for sweetener.

I smoked Parliament lights for 10 years or so, quit when I was pregnant, then about a year later started smoking again. I convinced myself that if I didn't smoke "my brand" and smoked menthols (which I never really liked much) that I'd be able to have just one or two :rolleyes:

So after 6 months of smoking menthols, here I am. I do like some menthol juices, but my favorites are fruits, vanilla and mint. I love coffee, but can't stand any coffee juices and I've tried a bunch. I'm afraid to try tobacco :blush:
