I am pretty new to the vaping culture. Tomorrow will be 4 weeks cigarette free. I started out with V2cigs, and have no complaints about them except for their lack of flavor selection. At the end of week 1 I discovered I live near V4L, so I went into the store and tried a bunch of flavors before settling on their waffle, butterscotch, and watermelon carts. Over the weekend I noticed a lot of inconsistency with the draw and amount of flavor with their pre-filled carts; in fact, all of the butterscotch tasted like air. The following Monday I decided to buy some blank carts and a bottle of their WOW waffle juice. I like it quite a bit.
During weeks 2 I discovered this forum and did a little research on eliquids. I wanted to see who has the best waffle and go with that vendor, along with any other new flavors I might discover along the way. My first attempt was ECBlend. I ordered Belgian Waffle and Watermelon. The waffle was downright awful and the watermelon was an improvement over V4L. My next attempt was Highbrow. I ordered their Belgian Waffle, Creme Brulet, Caramel, and Cappuccino Diablo with a shot of cream and sugar. Again I was disappointed with the flavors. I realize now that comparing Belgian waffle flavor to a normal waffle flavor was wrong, as they're two different batter types. But both EC and HB waffle tasted like chemicals! The caramel was ok, not quite the caramel flavor I was looking for (caramel can have many different flavors in the real world), the Creme Brulet really just tasted sweet, and the same with the Cappuccino Diablo (i tasted very little coffee at all). The one thing all of the flavors had in common was that they had some sort of underlying chemical taste to them, some more prominent than others.
So now I am down to two liquids, Butterscotch and Waffle from V4L. I like the waffle a lot, but the butterscotch is just mediocre. I feel that I could possibly find better flavors but as it stands now I'm afraid to spend more money on eliquids that are just going to taste like a bad chemical copy of a flavor. Say what you will about V2cigs, but their flavors don't have that chemical taste to them, at least to my palate.
I am in the process of ordering some clearomizers to bypass the inconsistency of cotton filled carts, but I need to sak the veterans out there: do I need to lower my expectations of what an eliquid should taste like? Are there vendors out there who make a liquid that doesn't have that chemical taste to it?
Thanks.
