Anyone else go through flavor "phases"?

Keep mixing it up if you can. Sometimes I mix flavors right in my protank just to have something more unique. Right now in my protank I have blueberry ice cream (bb menthol) and buttered waffle with whip cream. Tastes like blueberry maple syrup with a nice chill.

Always mix it up

I was going to post the same thing. Not only do I like vaping at least 3 flaves a day, I also mix on a regular basis. Right in the tank too. I love a strong nic coffee'ish in the morning but I'll mix some lower nic vanilla or caramel when the tank gets low. Then I'll go to a tobacco'ish and mix in some kind of fruit like cherry when that gets low. There are a lot of combos that I really like. I've found that mixing flavors creates some outstanding vapes you can't even buy.

I can't vape one kind of juice for too long before I want something different. Sometimes for about a week or two straight I will just vape fruit flavors. other times I will just vape darker tobacco/sweet flavors. This is why I try to avoid ordering mass quantities but still have a good variety on hand.

I have about 12-15 juices in daily rotation, and even then, I still want to smoke. My tastes also change from "Wow, this is awesome!" to "Well, it's sort of good, I guess" to "Hmmm I don't know if I will reorder this again"

I think this is part of the quitting smoking/vapor tongue thing, too.

just my theory- when you smoked you hit on a brand and smoked it because it tasted right and made you feel good. yeah, I know smoking isn't good for you but at the time it was great. vaping is a healthier alternative but NO juice can ever quite give you what smoking could. you can find juices you like and vape the heck out of them, but you are chasing a memory that you can sorta satisfy but never quite get-and that's ok- it keeps you off smoking and as long as you stay off cigs its a good thing. personally, I need wta juice to keep from sliding back. I think most people try different flavors because they have to keep moving (mentally) or regress. like I said, just my theory....

You just described how I've been feeling this last week... "chasing a memory." So when I smoked analogs (and I occasionally still have one) I only had menthol, like Camel Crush. But years ago when I started vaping, I made a choice to not get menthol juice. I wanted to just completely get away from the familiar taste, and try new things that I couldn't associate with my favorite analogs. And sure, I discovered RY4s and Halo Tribeca, strawberry cake and grape, and it's all delicious. But suddenly after all this time, out of nowhere I NEEDED to taste menthol. So I had to jump on it, and order some White Cloud Zero K disposables and some Halo Menthol Ice. It's weird. But eh, whatever. It's still better than spending $70 a week on the real thing, and getting sick.

I think I am "chasing a memory" and it's not working :confused: I'm ordering WTA's soon...

You articulated this whole process very well
