vaping about a month now. Think after 3 tried I have found the nic level I need (50 year smoker, 2 pack per day last 12 years). Problem is finding a flavor that I like. Started with vanilla custard, but wasn't vaping right for first few weeks, so couldn't truly appreciate the flavor. Peppermint is good but could be better. Watermelon is most recent, slightly sweet and tangy at same time, can't vape that all day as flavor builds and gets to be too much. Wondering what flavorless is like? Thanks

Isabelle, I feel for you, yet I will say that I truly believe we all have gone thru this exact same process. If you can get to some Brick and Mortar stores and do some taste testing, you might find your flavor profiles becoming more specific. And, your tastes will change over time. As your taste buds heal from smoking cigs, you'll find more nuances in vliquid flavors.

Take your time. Experiment. You'll be fine! :)

I saw someone describe flavorless as like smoking a Marlboro Light. It really is kind of similar and sometimes it's satisfying to just vape something with no real flavor and get your nicotine.

I'm still trying to find the "right" flavor as well. I've found a few that I keep going back to but I still find myself compelled to try new juices. But that's part of the fun for me. I don' t think I could stick to just one flavor, it'd be too boring. Some people enjoy that. To each their own. And good luck in your search.

There are 2 relatively inexpensive ways to go about this.

1) Go to a local vape shop, bring your own set-up (a dripper and mod would be preferred) and try the juices that they have out. Be courteous, and buy at least a bottle of your favorite from the ones you have tried.
The reason I mentioned bringing your own set-up, is because often, the juices they have sitting in their clearomizers have been sitting there for days. Also, clearomizers seldom do the juice any justice.

2) Order a sample pack/a handful of juices from a reputable seller. For instance, both Mech Sauce and Vape Wild put out amazing juices. Their prices are also fair. Of the two, I prefer the former; their flavors tend to be more robust.

I can't think of any flavors that are good at high nicotine levels. My advice would be to upgrade your hardware so you can drop the nicotine in the juice (but still get the same nicotine). Then you will realize a new world of flavors.
I agree with all of the above comments.

Nicotine has a natural peppery taste, so it influences the main flavor of the e-liquid. Dropping the nic concentration will allow the main flavor to shine through more.

+ 3 upgrade your tank and you should have no problem dropping the nic level and way better flavor to boot...........
