Ok so Im slipping back into smoking analogs. The reason, i can not find a flavor i like. I have tried many tobacco flavors and they all SUCK. In my opinion, that is, I am not bashing anyones opinion or company respectively. Now i know the first thing someone will say is " Try a non tobacco flavor, there better any way and most experienced e cig users prefer those any way etc blah blah blah" And i say to that ok, i am open and would love to hear suggestions. BUT i DO NOT like sweet sweet flavors, so double chocolate mochacinno or buttery cake or anything along those sweet lines is probably out of question. Liquid xpress makes the sinner pack, that intriques me cuz there not all sweet flavors. Please help me friends, i dont wanna fall back into the analog slump but if i cant find a flavor i like i might! =/

Do you like menthol flavors? I found that menthol flavors have a good throat hit that keep me from going back to analogs and a decent mint taste is hard to mess up. Also, if the nicotine "hit" is too low for you, you might want to try WTA e-juice that mimic more of the tobacco alkaloids that are present with analogs.

What kind of ecig are you using, are you using atomizers or cartomizers, and if atomizer are you able to keep it clean or has taste and performance declined (and if so I recommend cartomizers or a new atomizer)?

Have you tried FreedomSmokeUSA Desert Ship? Not everyone like the nutty pungent smell of a Turkish blend but I and many others think the aroma is a lot like the smell of a freshly opened pack of smokes (I recommend 80PG/20VG). Also, despite its flavoring sediment (I don't like sediment) their Cocoa is great at manning up tobaccos - when I got it in 80PG/20VG (Vg is sweeter so you don't want much) it was near-bitter for me and great for giving more muscle to a weak or too-sweet tobacco. Most US cigs have cocoa in them BTW. And cartomizers - a slightly singed cartomizer can add some of that bitter burnt taste you might like.

And heat - if you want heat then you have to use a decent ecig, not a slim model. The most heat you will get out of a slim model is a Vapor4Life manual and the SmokelessImage, Bloogplanet and Halocigs G6 models come close. Manuals only if you want the best hit.

More heat - you have to go fat battery (like Ego or Riva 510) or mod and use LR atomizers and cartomizers.

Menthol is definitely worth a try, eMacabre. I would suggest a non-tobacco menthol if you haven't liked a lot of tobacco flavours you've tried.

I hated menthol cigs but I really enjoy menthol-flavoured e-juice. I just find it really refreshing. I don't vape it all day, but I like vaping it in between flavours.

I liked fruit flavours for a while and then all of a sudden they seemed too sweet, so I started adding a couple drops of menthol juice to the fruit flavours and voila - I was in love with fruit flavours again. The menthol really helps to cut the sweetness.

It's worth a shot. Anything's better than going back to analogs!

I know how you feel I was the same way when I started. First all I wanted was tobacco flavors, realized majority of them arnt good, and hated the really sweet flavors.(I still dont like them)
Look for vendors that let you pick your OWN flavors for sample packs.
I like BlueMist Vapor. Prices are good and you can pick your own. Plus they have 250+ juices and you can add extra flavor shot if youd like.
For tobacco flavors, vaperite has some pretty good ones and backwoodbrew is also popular for tobacco flavors, but personally I didnt think they were that great, but thats me, others love them.
The first juice I found that I liked, and was able to vape for more than a few minutes, was black&mild from CCV. I got it for free with my E-Power and to this day its still one of my favorites. Its a tobacco flavor and has just a slight sweetness. I dont think it tastes like a black&mild but its good neway. Has a nice mellow maple-like flavor. Id maybe give it a try, especially since CCV has free shipping so all youd have to pay for is just the juice.

I dont know if you like coffee type flavors but I found that a bunch of them are pretty good. If you get the right ones their not overly sweet and have just a good flavor. I really like the Cafe Caramel from BlueMist, so much I just got a 180ml bottle. Has a nice suddle coffee taste and a creamylike caramel flavor, thats not overly sweet at all.
Those have seemed to work for me, but obviously might not for you. I def know how you feel tho.
Dont give up bc you will find something you like. I felt the same way you do at first bc I couldnt find anything I liked.
Get some sample packs, no flavors too crazy, and youll find something.

Goodluck with it!

You could try unflavored nic juice I vaped it for about a month while trying to find juice I liked. I purchase 70 pg 30 vg 24 mg nic for diy but did not like the tobacco flavors I was mixing so just vaped the unflavored. I then purchased fruit flavors and sweetener from tasty vapes and mixed stuff that I could vape. Now I search for juice that has 5 star reviews and buy in small quanities. If I like I buy more. Hope this helps, hang in there and good luck in your search.

No prob!
Their not the only vendor that have a lot of juices tho! And a few others also let you pick your juices for a sample pack.

BlueMist has 2 sample pack options. Either (5) 3ml for $10 or (5) 10ml for $20. Id get the 3ml to start so you can get a few packs and try more.

If you like the coffee type flavors Id def try their cafe caramel like I said. Their Hazelnut coffee juice is good too.
Read some of the reviews on juices and look for the ones that were rated well.
I got a free sample of the Honeysuckle tobacco on my last order and it was surprisingly good. I didnt think id like anything like that but I do like it. Its not overly sweet and doesnt taste perfumey or flowery. Has a nice refreshing taste.
The Robs Blackjack is one of their featured juices but frankly I found it to be really gross. Tasted like I was vaping a perfume bottle. Its supposed to be a tobacco but I dont see how. Its sweet and made me feel naucious. But other people do like it.
That was the first juice I ever tried, so like I said I know how you feel. I remember thinking if they all taste this way Im going back to analogs.
So dont get discouraged. I found juices I like and you will too. Goodluck and have fun with it!

i didn't like blue mist's selections at all. i don't like menthol much, yet i like a "semi-strong" taste...to me, vapor4life's WOW Peppermint is excellent (not very sweet at all), as is Tasty Vapor's Atomic Cinnacide...now, that one *is* on the sweet side, but if you like the taste of the outside of a fireball candy, you'll love it...it's their most popular flavor by far.

anyone tried the vanilla menthol from blue mist vape? sounds interesting

Some juice sounds better than it vapes. Never tried juice from Blue mist, but vanilla is a difficult flavor. I think the best vanilla I ever tried, was BWB vanilla. Kick Bass has a vanilla mint that isn't too bad. Trust me, I have/had about 20 bottles of vanilla, and most I've given away. It's OK for two or three vapes but starts to get to you if you vape it too long.

But you never know about juice. You may really love it.

Edit: Vapor Station had a good Creme Soda (sort of vanilla) but they may have discontinued it. Not sure.

You might like Vapor Bombs Fire n Ice. It's like Atomic cinnacide with menthol. On the exhale you get the a.c. and the inhale the menthol.

Wait, reverse that! Inhale- a.c., exhale menthol!
