I'm searching for an ADV that I don't get tired of. I've smoked Newport 100's for 16 years, getting up to 2 packs a day and I'm down to about half a pack but really want to be off of analogs. I LOVE bakery/cinnamon flavors, and after a very long search I've found 2 fruit flavors I enjoy. I just can't take the sweet really early and don't seem to be able to get past the after eating cravings. I know each person is different but I'd like to hear from others what the one flavor (and from where) that finally got you off analogs.

You don't say how long you've been vaping. Two things come into play here that I can see... 1st, it takes TIME to find that flavor you love enough to want to use all day...

(actually, the second thing is a two parter)

2nd (part 1): You haven't quit smoking all the way yet, so your taste buds are still very much affected by smoking. It may be (not WILL be, but very well may be) almost impossible to really find a flavor you love, in fact, you aren't getting the true benefit of most flavors just yet. That makes it even harder to find a flavor you want to use all day long.

2nd (part 2): Even when you first do completely switch over to vaping... it takes time for tastebuds to revive and your tastes are very likely to change dramatically several times. In the begining it is very common to switch flavors very frequently to help alliviate vapers tongue (a loss of flavor) becuase the initial hits of any flavor are going to taste stronger initially and then tend to fade. (By the way: I still freqently change flavors during the day, even though I do have one single flavor that is an ADV that I use most throughout a day).

give yourself time... LOL

As for what got me off analogs... the ABILITY to get nicotiene and enjoy the vapor. If you take it for what it is and find the enjoyment NOW you will have a better chance of quitting, and THEN you'll eventually find that LOVED flavor.

I've come to the conclusion that an ADV needs complexity.

They're expensive(and as a result controversial) but Five Pawns is the king of complex liquids in my opinion.

I can ADV:

Gambit
Castle Long
Castle Long Reserve (REALLY Expensive)
Lucena
and Queenside

But for the most part I DIY my liquid now... most of them I don't even bother to name... "A bit of this a bit of that"...

I'm working to nail down some actual recipes, got a sick Peach/ Whiskey liquid almost perfected

Mine too! My favorite right now (original poster notice I said 'right now' it changes) is my bittersweet chocolate and creme de menthe mix that tastes like Andies Candy (recipe I found in the DIY pasted section).

Yeah... I'm rocking a bottle right now, that was Watermelon/Apple i used half of it then mixed in a half bottle of some Lime/Kiwi i never finished.

It's good enough that i'll finish the 30ml of it I have... but odd enough that I'm not gonna whip up a batch from scratch.

as a previous menthol smoker I like to find fruit/menthol juices or cinnamon/menthol juices mostly...but I do like a good RY4 flavor it's not menthol but a tobacco/caramel/nutty flavor that most places try to carry. keep bouncing around and you'll find something.....or at least that is my plan

A good RY4 is hard to beat.

It's actually Tobacco Vanilla Caramel, but some places add other things to it, or their ratio is different, hence the variety.
 
Hi, I'm something of a newby too (4+ months ) I haven't had a cig. since I started Vapeing. From the first I duplicated my regular cig flavor (Mysty menthol) as closely as I could. I started out with just classic Tobbacco 24 mg, and Classic Menthol 6mg and mixing small amounts to taste. Then while visiting my daughter in Atlanta I went to a B+M store and found the perfect blend from them. I found that my ADV is Mystic Menthol by Vaperite. They have a great Newport flavor as well both Tobbacco and Menthol varieties. You will have a better chance of quiting all the way if the juice is like your normal Cig tobbacco flavor, save the yummy flavors as a treat untill you have been at it for awhile. Whishing you many years as an ex smoker :)

I followed a similar path to a lot people. I started with a cigalike maybe 3 years ago, and quickly realized it wasn't enough then stopped. My next was 2 years ago, an ego-T, which was great, but leaked like crazy and I eventually gave up. Recently I've noticed the analogs really effecting my breathing and decided to try again, a clearo tank on an ego-T, which was good, but not good enough.

I got an mvp2.0 with an aspire nautilus tank and really think I can do it with this set up. I'm struggling when I get stressed, after meals, and early morning times. The moo juice is my new love, but at those 3 times I find it to be way to sweet. I bought a 36mg vanilla, I add menthol to it, and I am almost there, but again, I think the sweet flavor isn't going to cut it at certain times. I've tried quite a few juices, but some are down right disgusting, so I'm hoping to find some new flavor suggestions to try. I know we all enjoy different things, but I think with the right set up I'll be able to stop analogs for good, just missing a juice or 2.

That sounds delicious. I've yet to find a solid peach vape.


OP, if you like bakery and cinnamon flavors, give Bionic Vapor's Cinnamon Delight a shot. MY favorite cinnamon roll flavor, and definitely an easy ADV for me.

I think that's the road I need to travel. I just started to play with menthol and it's gotten me down to 2 cigs a day. I tried newport flavors in cartos early on, got a bunch of mint flavors instead and gave up. I thought why vape that if I'm trying not to smoke that, but I think I was wrong. I love the sweet flavors, but they are too sweet when I really want an analog. I'm going to order those you suggested and look for a few more Newport like flavors and see if it fills that void I've been missing.

Thank you
 
Guess I got lucky. Haven't had a cigarette since the day after I started vaping. And it tasted like CRAP. Vaping RY4 with a little more vanilla added and a touch of mint. I add a little more mint for my menthol-smoking wife and she likes it. But like you, she doesn't get the same sensation out of vaping that she craves from the stinkies.

Thats kinda a dog chasing its tail question. I been at this for over a year now and into DIY and find my taste changes often. It makes me crazy my search seemingly has no end but to address your question as best I am able I would have to say Hangsen highway a tobacco with a tiney bit of acetyl pyrazine (this is a Tribecca clone thing) is as close to a standard alway go back to vape for me. This Tribecca clone works well with RY4 and other tobaccos also.

TPA RY4 Double or other Tobacco you enjoy
Acetyl Pyrazine

Around 8-10% of the RY4 and 1 drop/5ml of the AP is about right.
From here you can play and add some carmel, vanilla, EM or whatever you like.
 
Found one of my 2 ADVs while trying samples at a local vape shop. The second was found when checking out samples from my first ADV website. Both are tobacco flavors. I keep 6-7 tanks with other juices that I vape occasionally or when nothing satisfies my mood. Check out ECBlend.

I have 2 ADVs I love. One is Chocolate, the other is Dragon's Blood. I'm like you EBates....I too have several other tanks with various flavors. I usually enjoy those at night for an after dinner treat.

GT Vapor (Grand Traverse) out of Michigan... Duneberry. It's a tobacco liquid with a berry of some sort thrown in. Their Wild West Tobacco has about half the berry sweetness of the Duneberry and is decent. I pass on most of their other liquids.

Have you tried Pream by Ruckus?

It's a straight up peaches and cream, but a fantastic Vape.
