Any other one-trick ponies?

[juicejunky]

So I've been vaping for over two years now and I've progressed/digressed to becoming a one-trick pony for ejuice flavors. It's like my old brand of cigarettes, I want to vape the same flavor all the time. I can vape others but don't enjoy them nearly as much as my brand.

It happens to be Casablanca from BWB, but I am curious if other vapers have become one-trick ponies? Is it because I use a REO with a 6ml bottle? There are not many flavors I can vape through 6ml without becoming sick of them. Will this stage of vaping pass?

Any other one-trick ponies out there in vapeland and what is your one trick ejuice flavor?

I wish I had a DIY flavor as my brand, it'd be a lot cheaper. How long has she been vaping?

She's been vaping about a year and a half. BWB's Casablanca is fantastic stuff. It may in fact be my favorite also. His applewood tobacco is good also. BWB is great but it's like what $17 a bottle. I can make a bottle for about a third of that depending on flavor.

I am. I DIY my own menthol with a touch of cinnamon and chocolate to it. Cheap as dirt--six cents a ml or less.

Warranted, last night I was in the mood for something a touch mintier. I put two drops of spearmint and one of sweetener in the tank with my mix and bingo--spearmint gum. That's extremely rare, though, and the first time I've done that in about 200 ml of the normal stuff.

You've got me thinking, I may have to go back to trying DIY. While I hate all the fussing with DIY and never made anything very good (I can't cook either), maybe if I could make it a goal to just find one recipe I like as much as Casablanca. I'm happy with my PV and already using a RBA (rebuildable atomizer, cost a few cents a coil), so DIY would make vaping so dang cheap.

So three people so far that vape one flavor only.

I'm hooked on Boba's Bounty from AVEjuice.com I've tried a lot of different juices, but this has been the only one so far that I enjoy foor more than a few puffs at a time.

Four. My mother is also a one flavor person, she also uses my DIY mix (just at a much lower nicotine level).

I figured out what I like by making lists of what I did and didn't like in juices I'd bought. Sweet...nope, don't care for it, it's cloying. Mint...love it if it's not sweet. Menthol...love it.

Eventually I saw the trend. I liked mints, menthols, warmer flavors, and very little that's sweet or fruity or perfumey.

I started making 3 and 10 ml samples and eventually settled on a recipe I like. 5% menthol, 1% cinnamon, 0.5% milk chocolate. It's light and mild so most people would want to turn up the percentages closer to 10 or 12 total.

 

[the_vape_nerd]

well i think casablanca is a pretty complex formula...you might end up spending a lot of money and time on something that won't pan out

Sort of a flavor- I've been vaping unflavored for 2 yrs. Sweet/vanilly taste w/ a light Real tobacco aftertaste.

I have 2 DIY vapes that I switch between all day long, they both cost me about $.09 per ml ($2.70 for a 30 ml bottle), 34 mg peppermint and 34 mg cinnamon red hots, plain

My wife is easier than that, she vapes a no flavor 18 mg 75vg/25pg juice. Hers cost me less than $.06 per ml (<$2.00 for a 30 ml bottle)

I vape 6 ml at the most per day and she vapes about 2 ml. Our monthly cost for juice is about $20.00.

Interesting approach. Where do you get your cinnamon and milk chocolate flavors?

Does the tobacco aftertaste come from the nicotine? You must be one of those supertasters.

I have no expectations of replicating casablanca, there have been fail threads about it over the years. I have no talents in that department. I was just going for something that was almost as enjoyable on an ongoing basis.

My DIY peppermint has been my ADV for close to a year and a half now.

 

[juicejunky]

By my count up to nine one-trick (or two-close enough) ponies on ECF. Maybe I should learn to do a poll.

 

[Faylool]

What percentage peppermint. Do you happen to use tfa?

 

[Ken62]

My DIY peppermint has been my ADV for close to a year and a half now.

Who do you get your peppermint from and what % do you use? I get mine from TFA and started at 10%, bumped it to 20% and finally dropped it to 5%. Once I started tasting things again I learned that I like light flavors. I did the same with cinnamon and like it at about 3-4%.

 

[MorpheusPA]

I use TFA's Cinnamon Red Hots and Milk Chocolate. The cinnamon isn't quite a pure flavor, but it's close enough for me. Milk chocolate is almost perfect. I think I got this batch from My Freedom Smokes, although the Perfumer's Apprentice has a Flavoring section on their site where you can order flavors.

 

[Faylool]

As far as DIY I could vape Pomegranite. It has Bavarian Creme, Marshmellow,malty and Pomegranite.

 

[Ken62]

I need to find a B&M Vape Shop where I can taste some flavors. I'm a cheapskate and not willing to pony up $5-6 for a flavor that I would never use. Pomegranite doesn't sound good, chocolate sounds too sweet... I know I would probably like some other flavors, but like I said, I'm a cheapskate

 

[DPLongo22]

For the most part, yes. Both wife and I vape an odd (not DIY) mix of three flavors I devised. The only exception is that once each day-or-two, I vape one cart of straight Lemonade. I find that it clears my pallet and is a nice temporary break.
