E-Go Twist user searching for wrong juice perhaps?

[Charlie C]

Hi everyone,

I've been trying various tobacco juices and cannot for the life of me find one that works straight out of the bottle.
I generally try 50/50 VG PG or close to that and always end up having to put a dash of some odd flavor like fruit or vanilla.

I'm starting to think that I am obsessed with tobacco juice where perhaps I should just try something non tobacco.
I'm back to smoking Camel lights too (in between my ecig) as I can't seem to give them up. At first I went for a couple of weeks without smoking.

The first juice I tried was a marlboro Joye 18mg from cignot but when I tried it recently it tasted way too harsh.

Sorry for rambling on but frustrated.
I have a list of juices I've tried if anyone is interested.

I'm also using cartos now.

Thanks so much in advance for any input........

My advice would be to get a sample pack of flavors. Use an atomizer to test each flavor out until you find one that you like. Most good vendors will offer a sample pack of all of their juice, so it shouldn't be too hard to find one.

You'll find a juice you like, eventually. It probably won't be tobacco.

What nicotine strength you using Charlie C? I tend to avoid tobacco flavors myself I figured if I am trying to quit tobacco I would just stay away from that flavor it has worked for over 6 months now. I like a little higher VG content to mine but 50/50 isn't bad high nicotine strength is always harsh to me I vape around 12mg to 18mg and I prefer Apple & Bananas Foster for my all day vape.

Finding the right juices is probably the hardest part of vaping IMHO.

I found that I don't care for any tobacco or menthol juices at all, don't even want any of it added to a juice. I also found that the further I got along, the juices I liked when I started, I don't really care much for now as my taste buds have healed more thereby changing my preference in flavours.

Lately it seems I like some of the sweeter juices like caramel flavours (even though I don't like caramel candies) and tropical flavours with coconut and hazelnut being standouts for me.

I would suggest getting a few samples from several vendors and try to figure out what you prefer from there. ECBlends is one example of a vendor that sells 5 ml samples for $2.50.

You may end up finding some tobacco flavours you like as the vary from vendor to vendor as well.

It's frustrating as all get out, but you'll eventually find a few you enjoy.

Good luck!

Have you tried Dekang DK-TAB yet?

 

[Hightekhillbilly]

Sorry I seen you had posted 18mg might want to try something around 12mg

the flavor trail is a long and endless path... get some 24mg unflavored, forget trying to replace the flavor of your cigs and power through the first 2 weeks. you will adjust, the unflavored will satisfy your nic cravings and you wont be chasing the proverbial dragon of flavor until the end of time...

I think that is normal. Finding your juice nirvana can be a long process.

IF you can find some flavors you like together, you can certainly ask a custom mixer like virgin vapor to put a juice together for you. A little of this, a little of that.

Thanks for your input and yes, I'm starting to think I'm on the wrong track as I've tried about 20 sample packs of tobacco and so far... No go.

Not to mention that as time goes on what flavors you did like in the beginning you may not like after your tastebuds change.

I use eGo Twists and they are great for my on-the-go lifestyle. If it's too harsh, you might want to turn down the voltage and raise the ohms of your carto or atty. Just a thought.

Ok a couple of things, one you didn't say what your delivery system is. You will find that all of us have our preferred delivery systems, be it cartos, clearos, dripping with attys, and so on. The reason everyone seems to have an opinion on which is best is it affects the taste of the juice.

The there is the ohms on your delivery system of choice, you are using a twist so you have a bit more room to play around there, but different juices taste different at different voltages. So the ohms of your system mixed with the volts of your battery will play a part.

And finally what is it about the tobacco juices you haven't liked, not sweet enough, too sweet, too much th, too little vapor? Or are you looking for the same flavor you get when you light a cig? As most of that is from the burning of the tobacco, not the actual flavor of it.

Tobacco ewww!

LOL my first was a tobacco flavor that came with my startup kit and it was ok but not something I really enjoyed. When I got the kit the guy in the store said I would be surprised by what I ended up liking and boy was I.

I didnt put the cigs down till I went into a local juice vendor and sat down and started sampling. I am lucky and pink spot vapors is about a 30 min drive from me. I sat in their store front and sampled away and found out I didnt like tobacco at all. I like coconut cream pie! and fruit flavors and something they call swagger that just totaly hits the spot. I put the cigs down the day i picked up the swagger and havent looked back.

Why in the world would i want to smoke a nasty cig when I can have my nic and totally enjoy all these tasty flavors instead....I find myself vaping more for the flavors than any actual cravings and because of that I suppose, I rarely get any cig cravings at all.

Pink Spot Vapors: Gourmet E-liquid & Signature E-Juice Flavors

They have samplers and will do any nic strength mix you like. Give em a whirl and try something besides tobaccos, though the honey cured tobacco isnt bad, they have so many other flavors that are just delicious.

Have to do some work here but be back to answer in an hour or so, thank you everyone so much.......

Are you letting them steep? Freshly made tobacco flavors usually need to steep awhile before they taste like they are supposed to.

Yeah, I just got some Vision stardust 2.1-2.4 Ohm clearomizers but waiting to try them when I find the right juice.
Maybe I'll see the difference with something I kinda like as all I've used so far are regular 510 atty's and basic carto's

Thanks for the advice....

 

[Charlie C]

Have you tried Dekang DK-TAB yet?

No have not but I've heard of it. I'm taking notes here so will get a sample bottle, thank you.........

Also heard that Boba's Bounty is good???????

Never done that just tried them the day they arrive.
Should I leave them for a few days?

Thought I replied before but anyway....
Yeah, thinking I must try some other flavors, my mind has been stuck on tobacco so thank you for that!

 

[Charlie C]

Thanks Johny Ringo, actually looked at their web page the other day so It's now on my list to grab a few samples.
Appreciate all your advice greatly.
