Wow, been a long time since I've had a clove cigarette. A friend of mine's father used to travel for work and bring back cartons from S.E. Asia. I loved the taste but also the way they would "pop" when smoked -- like tiny fireworks. Might have to try some clove flavour.

As for a favourite, I've only had the standard tobacco flavour and Wicked's Strawberry. I'm loving the strawberry -- it would be my favourite to date.

On a whim I ordered a bottle of Fennel flavor from Litcigusa. Thought it might be interesting to try as an occasional vape. This stuff is fantastic :rolleyes: Much better than I expected. It has licorice overtones but is more than that. If you ever chewed on some fennel seed this stuff is dead on. Around here the Indian restaurants always have a bowl of fennel seed & coconut at the door as you leave. I guess their version of an after dinner mint. I developed quite a liking to it but was not sure how it would be in an e-cig. Just might become my go to.

Interesting. Wondering what style device you and others who've experienced that taste are using. I'm strictly a pen style gal, and have been vaping with Riskee exclusively for about three weeks (three atomizers, 4 batteries, plus a USB pass-through.)

Experienced the blueberry/cotton candy taste for the very first time a little while ago:

After sleeping half the night, I woke up, and when I couldn't get back to sleep, woke the dog and took him out, grabbing my pen style on the way out the door, brrrrrrr! its cold out there! Noticed it on the first puff, and it continued - yuck - until we got back inside the house. Once the atomizer/battery warmed back up, I topped off the cart (I'm not a dripper) and my wonderful smokey caramel came back to me...

Could it be that pen style atomizers run hotter (except when they're hours cold and in the cold) preventing the blueberry undertones from taking over?

I only had it in carts as I ordered em to try with a penstyle,unfortunately the freebies were also RY..so if you don't mind low,I have 9 carts you can have.(thank goodness I ordered blanks too)
I tried really hard to imagine even a hint of caramel..I got nuthin but blueberry:|
 
Ordered some Riskee carts to try in my pen..thinking hmm caramel is doable.Only all I taste is blueberry/cotton candy like flavor.

That's really weird, it shouldn't taste anything at all like what you describe. I wonder if those carts aren't accidentally mislabelled as something else, or perhaps the Riskee juice is being blended with another flavour or something.

Maybe try purchasing a 10ml bottle of the actual juice just to make sure - it's such an awesome flavour - couldn't imagine going without it now.
 
The one thing I notice missing here is....
What analog did you smoke??!! That info would really help steer people toward a flavor they like. I smoked Marlboro 27s. I like Kick Tobacco Road and find the 555 a bit too sweet. The thought of fruit just doesn't appeal to me at all, but I think I'll have to try coffee simply because I love(d) coffee and a smoke!

I end up using the 555 more at night because I goofed when I ordered it and got low nic....need more nic in the morning and less at night....but mix 2/3 55 and 1/3 Tobacco Road to cut the sweet taste.

So, ex-Marlboro smokers....what do you like best?!

13 days off analogs now.... akkk, writing this gave me a craving!

ex-Marlboro smoker here

In order of preference:

1. Riskee (RY4) - I've never tasted anything remotely like blueberry in this. Riskee to me is like a sweet tobacco flavor. I've always thought pipes smelled good though I never smoked one, and Riskee reminds me of that.

2. Fennel - this stuff is great. I mix it with Riskee sometimes too.

3. Clove

Occasional flavors: 555, Vanilla, JC's Mint Chocolate, Coconut

Other than Riskee and 555 I haven't liked any of the other tobacco flavors I've tried. I'm don't really like the fruit flavors other than coconut. Even though I drink a lot of coffee, and the coffee juice does taste like coffee, I can't stand to vape it; not sure why. I might be just weird, I feel the same way about the Cola, even though most people on here seem to love it.

It isn't just you, I thought it tasted cotton candyish too! I like it for a while, then it is too sweet for me. I do consistantly like the Pina Colada and the Coconut from Steve at Pure Smoker though.

Hmm, I'll have to amend this -- the flavour of the liquid has pretty much gone after getting halfway down the bottle. It's basically tasteless now. It was never very strong to begin with, but nothing now.

Anyone else ever have this happen? I never thought about it, but is it possible the flavour seperated out of the solution and I vaped it all in the first half of the bottle? When I noticed the flavour drop off I decided to try shaking the bottle before topping off and seemed to get a bit of flavour for a short time, but nothing really now.

Pretty disappointed with this liquid -- particularly since it was my first try with something other than the standard flavour.

I used to smoke Marlboro - lights for a while and reds for a while - and then I switched to a couple of different brands that are sold at a Native American smoke shop.

So far, Marlboro is okay to me and I probably use that more than anything else. Sometimes I add vanilla to it. Sometimes I add Lorann English Toffee. I've tried 555 and that is good to me too. Tried Kick coffee and I like that okay but didn't want it all day long, everyday. Today is the first time I've tried Riskee. I see what some of you are saying about the fruity/cotton candy taste. I don't taste anything that resembles caramel. I'm unsure about it right now. It's fine, but like the coffee, I'm not sure I'd want to do it all day. Got some french pipe today too but haven't tried that yet.

Overall, I think what works for me is switching flavors whenever I get tired of one.

I like Johnson Creeks Tenn Cured and Vanilla Ice Cream--the rest of their flavors are just too mild with no hit. I wish they would not make it so thin as the taste burns right out of them. But I like the fact that they do not contain ethyl alcohol as has been just reported that moutwash with alcohol is cancer causing--so I will take the trade off.

Alright, so I posted a long time ago that the Camel/Orient 50-50 mix from Litecig (or Puresmoker/Litecig) was my favorite. I picked up some more Orient from Litecig the other day and ordered a bottle of Hilton on a whim. I've tried RY4, 555, Marlboro, JC Tenn Cured, Virginia, etc., but they ranged from way too sweet (RY4, Tenn cured) to weird (Virginia) to bland (555, Marlboro). Hilton is by far my favorite pure flavor that I've vaped. If you like drier (non-sweet) tobacco flavors, it's a good one to try. Reminiscent of Camel, but stronger in flavor.

Also, I got a bottle of Cigar after trying a friend's. It's WAY too much smokey-cigarry flavor for me to handle. I bet other people would like it though.

Alright, that's the science. Try some Hilton.
