Did you switch with as many analog brands?

[KjAthena]

I switch flavors a lot during the day vapeing...4 different flavors a day minimum and they switch daily in a rotation, except if I really want something special. I have found one main vendor and have tried almost every flavor they have the majority are MUST HAVES....I have a few other brands that have one or two flavors that I repurchase ..... I used to smoke whatever full flavor 100's were on sale (but disliked Pall Malls)

Not a big tobacco flavor fan...like bakery, teas, coffees, absinthe,chocolate, fruits,herbals, florals, pepermint and candies...pretty much anything but tobaccos or menthols

Smoking and vaping are different. Smokes have a lot of flavor (not saying that's good, just that there is a lot of it) plus CO and all the other chemicals in there doing addictive things to us. vaping generally does not have the intense flavor or the kick (or IMO the addictiveness). I've never become light headed from a vape. Vaping can also bring on vapor's tongue, which I never experienced while smoking. IMO this is why we look for more in the way of flavors and why we want to have more than one to vape. Also, of course, because we can

...as you do with ejuice?
I notice so many people have several juices they use when they vape,I hear "everyday vape" and such all the time. When I smoked analogs I usually bought what I liked and was cheaper which was usually USA Gold or Pall Mall,with vaping when I find one I like I stay with it all the time and usually only switch to another when I have too like flavor discontinued,store out of business,etc.

Honestly over the years I had more cig brands than juice ones.

When I smoked it seemed like it never failed when I found something I liked they either stopped making them or the local stores stopped carrying them.

Now that I vape I bought a few bottles from ONE vendor when I first started and other than 1 menthol I buy from that same vendor I don't buy any juice. My juice vendor is my own DIY these days.

I smoked lots of brands, whatever was on sale. If I could afford to, I would have stuck with Salem 100. But, instead I went the other extreme and switched to non-menthol. That way I could buy whatever was on sale. (I couldn't stand non-menthol whenever I was too used to menthol.)

I think there's more of a sense of dissatisfaction and restlessness with vaping than there was with smoking. Vaping doesn't give the same rush. Changing flavors helps keep it fresh and satisfying.

Like I said, I didn't really like non-menthol. I've discovered that coffee flavors taste like what I feel like tobacco flavors SHOULD taste like.

I smoked Marlboro Lights from 15-18. At 18, I switched to Camel Lights and smoked them for 17 years till I threw my pack away.

I've tried more brands of juices in 3 months than i did in 25 years of smoking. I swapped brands with analogs up to the age of about 18 then stuck with them next 18 years or so. I only swapped my analog brand about 3 years ago to change to menthols and a cheaper brand.

I never could "taste" cigarettes. For me I just chose what was not as harsh as other brands. Towards the end I wasn't really enjoying the act of smoking , I was not liking the taste and the way my throat felt . But I do like vaping. I like that I can have something sweet when Im in the mood or maybe something fruity. Didn't have that option with smoking.

I smoked Marlboro reds for many years. Then for several more Marlboro lights. For last couple of years before switching to vaping I smoked Camel lights. I did not change that many brands in about 32 years of smoking. When I started vaping I thought that it will be similar, that I will find my brand and be a happy camper, so like everybody else I was looking for that mysterious unicorn, a real cigarette flavor. I had to try many e-liquids along the way, only to learn that it does not exist. Or so I thought. So I gave up and was content with what I could get. I started mixing my own juices and by a chance I stumbled on a very simple recipe. By the names of the flavours under which they are being sold I would not guess that the mix could be so tasteful. It reminds me of the smell of a cigarette fresh out of box, which is good enough for me. So finally I found it, my only e-liquid which I vape for several months now and it still tastes good and puts a smile on my face

I started smoking Lucky Strikes when I was 12, and would occasionally grab Camel non-filters if some place didn't carry Lucky Strikes. Switched to Drum RYO (more smokes for the $$) when I was 17 and wasn't getting my daily lunch money from mom to blow on smokes. Moved to American Spirit Blue (occasionally Red or the perique Black) when they came out. I've just recently switched to vaping a few weeks ago, but I already have more tobacco flavors being shipped than I ever had cigarette brands, hoping to find the magic mix that'll get me as close to an analog hit as possible.

No, but I did also smoke cigars, cigarellos and pipes for different flavors. I still smoke the occasional cigar, but that's like one every three or four months. With cigarettes it was strictly Lucky Strikes or Marlboro Reds. After I quit, approx six years the first time, I came back to Marlboro Lights and then Southern Cut.

I just saw your post and it's remarkable how similar our smoking habits were. I too started out on Lucky's(I'd snitch packs from my dad). My brother went to Amsterdam and brought back this huge can of Drum. Some of the best smokes I ever had.
