I just started e-cigs the other day, bought an mpv20 and four liquids online. I'm not really enjoying the liquids much, they just don't have a great taste, makes me want a cigarette.
what is the highest quality best tasting liquid? I smoked menthol fir thirty years not sure if I should stay with menthol. Would I do better with a sweet dessert type to start with? I think I got what I paid for, these were about 7 dollars for one ounce bottles. I don't care about the price right now, I want the best tasting liquid out there.
thanks for any suggestions.
I just started vaping about three months ago, as a 24 1/2 year smoker....started mixing in menthol about 5 years in, and strictly menthol for the last 10.
As soon as I started vaping, I did cave in one day and had a cigarette or two, only because my APV died on me and I couldn't get away to a B&M to replace it for several hours....the nicotine withdrawals were just too much to bear. But other than that, I haven't touched a cigarette since I started vaping, haven't even wanted one.
Here's what worked for me, flavor-wise....
My first trip to a B&M to stock up on hardware and juice, I picked out a couple flavors and along with them, added on the side a bottle of triple-strength menthol (not tobacco flavor, mind you, just menthol, with a triple dose of the menthol). I started off using the menthol as my primary, and gradually, day by day, leaned heavier on the other flavors and the menthol decreasingly, until I found myself no longer enjoying the menthol. I can't say how long it might take you to get to that point where the menthol doesn't do it for you anymore, that varies from one person to the next. Also, as far as what kind of flavors to choose, that's all about what you find appealing. As many flavor families as there are out there, there's something out there that will make your taste buds jump, whether it's sugary, sour, dessert, bakery, or whatever. My best suggestion with that is to just find a vendor that offers a lot of flavors, preferably 50 or more, and just browse the list for anything that looks interesting to you. I'd recommend vapedudes.com as a good website to browse, it's been my experience with them that whether the flavor represents a single ingredient or several, the juice you get tastes exactly like every ingredient you see in the picture they use as the thumbnail for that juice, no matter how many ingredients show in the picture. Prime example....in their peach cobbler juice, I distinctly tasted both yellow and white peaches, peach syrup, pie crust(with even a slight dusting of flour on the crust for good measure, so that it tastes homemade from scratch), a slight hint of tart berries, and a liberal sprinkling of cane sugar. Be careful though....I got caught off-guard by the key lime, thinking it would taste like a lime-flavored candy, but what I got was a fresh lime and its peel all at once. I wasn't disappointed, but I was shocked and surprised.....and at the same time, impressed by how accurate it was. Bottom line, just trust your taste buds and their muscle memory, and you'll find something you like, without question.
One other note....another thing that really helped me to leave almost 25 years of smoking behind me when I first started vaping was to avoid any and all tobacco flavored juices. But, that's just me. I reached a point, long ago, where I didn't like the taste of tobacco at all. That's what got me on the big menthol kick. But for you, if you like the taste of tobacco, you should definitely include some tobacco flavored juices in your rotation. And if you don't like the taste of tobacco, if you want to stay away from anything that tastes like tobacco, then absolutely you should avoid the tobacco flavors like I did. Overall, just pursue the flavors you want to taste, and you can't go wrong....as long as you don't pick up any juices in a B&M or a gas station if they have really cheap-looking labels on the bottles and don't include the name of the manufacturer on the label. I can't stress that part enough.....any vendor who doesn't go out of their way to make sure you know, by name, what company mixed the juice in that bottle, they don't take enough pride in their finished product to deserve your money. And sadly, there are still a lot of those out there, selling their inferior products in gas stations and some B&M's. But on the internet like you started off, that's really not a problem.
