My fiance and I had gotten into vaping about four years ago. Then our car got stolen with all our vaping gear inside. We didn't have the money at the time to replace it, and we went back to cigarettes. Recently, we decided to get back into vaping and were shocked at how much changed has happened!

Anyways, we got ourselves a couple if itaste MVP 2.0's and some tanks, and I can say that we are never going back to cigarettes again!

The biggest challenge we've been running into though is with finding juices. So much of what the stores carry here are what I call "Skittle Juices" - cheap fruity candy flavors. They just taste icky and cloying to us. Like vaping unicorn farts.

It's been about two weeks since vaping, and there are two important things I've noticed:

1: If you've been smoking awhile, it takes some time for your taste buds to heal up. You won't appreciate the better quality juices for about a week or so. At first, they might just taste muddy or "off."

2: The more you vape subtle complex flavors, the more your palate develops, and the better you can appreciate them. When I first tried Suicide Bunny's stuff, for example, it was the day I bought my gear. And it tasted weird to me because I had no context for what I was tasting. That day, I ended up buying a couple of the more subdued fruity juices. Two weeks later, I'm vaping SB's Sucker Punch all day long.

Seriously, most juices in shops are like eating fast food or boxed Mac & Cheese. If that's all you vape, that's what your tastebuds will get used to, and yo'll never know what you're missing. But if you like Ghirardelli Chocolate better than Skittles, I can asure you, there are so much better juices out there. I mentioned Suicide Bunny (which seems to be everywhere), but also check out Five Pawns and Hurricane Vapor. Good stuf realy is worth paying fo (and it's still cheaper than analogs).

Also remember that people taste things differently. There are some tastes that people genetically can not taste. Some people experience flavors more intensely than others. It makes juice a real personal thing.

People also like different stuff. I make a cherry that tastes just like cough drops. I love it. Everyone else who tries it hates it.

There are lots of juices that taste more like real cherries out there but I like my horrible cherry better than them all.

I'm sure there is a market for that however I just can't see myself vaping Mac and Cheese...Being from WI I would probably be a Cheese-vape-snob...But it could work, you'd have to add cheese curds, garlic cheese curds, cheddar, farmer's, heck even chocolate fudge (don't freak out, if you but it on a graham cracker you'd swear its chocolate cheese cake, trust me) it would be interesting to try lol

I see a lot of folks are really wild about Halo juices, but honestly, I really don't like any of them; I used to vape some of their Kringle's Curse as a palate cleanser, but it really got old; can't taste much of anything from their Belgian Cocoa; and for some reason I cannot now fathom, I bought a bottle of Voodoo, which doesn't taste like much of anything to me, except kinda sour-ish. I can't figure out why people like Halo juices so much.
