Spent a while back on analogs. Maybe 8 months or so. Just started vaping again last week. A lot of changes since then.
Had a flue cured batch from best-e-cigs that was probably the best ever. Loved the Johnson Creek Sweet Strawberry, but it appears to be out of production. Really good RY4 from electronicstix. Ecsiinc.com a/k/a electroniccigarettesales.com toasted toffee rocked my world too. Those were probably my faves.
I'd sure love to find a good sweet strong dark chocolate.
Varying degrees of RY4 quality from myvaporstore. Electronicstix blueberry was unremarkable, as is Rocky Mountain Vapor's strawberry -- Too much like some kind of perfume from The Soap Box. Awful RY4 from best-e-cig that had no flavor and seemed watered down. Best E-Cig's French Pipe was truly the most disgusting vile and gawd-awful stuff I'd ever vaped -- Kind of like watered down rice wine, cheap perfume and rotten shrimp. Funny, because their flue-cured was so amazing.
Good flue-cured from goodprophets and RMV. JC Tennessee was an atty killer, but good vapor and taste. Grape from the now defunct smokesafe was okay, but ruined the atty forever for anything but grape; their RY2/3 was kinda harsh and low vapor production.
Tried Halo Freedom today -- nice vapor production, clarity, and overall taste, but a little cedar-ish.
Really wanted to like Vermont Vapor's maple, but it was too bitter, tobacco-ey, and never seemed to wick properly. Was like licking an old can of Bugler tobacco.. Seemed to have little chunks in it sometimes.
The point of all this is that no matter what my favorite flavor is or has been, it seems to vary greatly with the supplier and batch. Even the same flavor from the same supplier has often been inconsistent for me.
