Flavor Ideas for Someone Who Doesn't Like Sweet?

[amoret]

I've been searching the forum for this, and haven't seen any recent threads on ideas for flavors to try that aren't sweet. I've tried a lot of samples from quite a few suppliers, and even though I'm trying for not sweet, about three quarters of what I've gotten seems too sweet for me.

Examples that I like so far include Earl Grey Tea, a few plain vanillas, one citrus that isn't sweet, hot cinnamon (though that's only occasionally) and some menthol and menthol tobacco.

I also like one raspberry, but most of the fruit flavors that I've tried seem to taste more like candy than fruit. I tried a mint black tea that sounded great but turned out to be like a cup of tea with three or four teaspoons of sugar in it. I have tried a few plain coffee flavors, but coffee seems to be hard to capture.

What I'd love to find would be some not so sweet spices or herbs (ginger or rosemary maybe?) or more unsweetened tea flavors, or fruits that taste like the actual fruit. I'm not against mixed flavors, but again, most of the ones that I've tried were sweet.

I'm open to any suggestions, though if a supplier only uses childproof bottles I'd have to let them"steep" until my daughter came up to visit. My hand problems are also why DIY is not a good option for me.

What brands have you liked so far?

I find cake and bakery flavors "okay" but they don't do much for me. Can't stand super sweet vapes. I am, however, a big fan of tea flavors, perhaps give some teas a try?

So far mostly Vaperite, some from Vermilion River. I'd been trying to avoid the childproof caps, and MBV was slow and borderline rude when I asked them, so haven't wanted to go with them.

I haven't tried either of those but I've been meaning to try vaperite

I'd suggest Dripeez (organic, no sweeteners added) they make great stuff and it's so clean and natural tasting, they make a great mint too, and they have a 'mix your own' option too. caps aren't child proof. https://natural-eliquid.com/store/index.php

Free State Vapor: clean organic natural tasting, has nice earl grey tea and also hibiscus ginger pear that is back in stock that i'm dying to try, no child proof caps, discount code for 15%off: Reddit15 (I recently tried a dessert flavor there-The Nilsson-and that wasn't very sweet either.) Free State Vapor Kansas City E-Liquid

http://www.cyclopsvapor.com/ makes two flavors, a nice fruity melon blend that is fresh and natural, and a custard that is not like any custard i've had in that it is a true vanilla flavor and has a custard note, but is not sweet at all hardly, it's kind of dry actually.
right now you get a great deal with their 40% off sale code: cyclopsgift
their glass bottles come with a non-child proof screw off lid, they don't have a dripper on them though

Ahlusion makes a lot of tea flavors that sound interesting.

I've only tried one Ahlusion tea and that was Caramel Pear Black Tea. I didn't find it overly sweet at all. It was very good! You could email them and ask which teas are low on the sweet scale.

Give Alice in Vapeland a try. Her teas are amazing. And her Frost Blossom--a cool orange flavor. Tastes like real orange, not candy.

EC Blends makes a Cucumber vape that I find to be very refreshing and not sweet. Before I tried it, I thought it would be just a novelty type vape that I'd try once and not want again. Now, I reorder it whenever I run out. It is not an all day vape, but it is good when I don't want something sweet. It is the most refreshing vape I've had to date.

Anything vg based is inherently sweet. Have you tried straight pg flavors?

 

[Chadastrophic]

You might want to take a look at Good Life Vapors Melon Boba.

I'm not a menthol fan at all, but that stuff is great. Very light on the menthol, but you can have more added if you like.

I went through 10ml almost instantly.

Thanks everyone. I'll check out the recommendations. I do have two flavors that can get me through the day, but it would be fun to have some more variety. I have already gone for high pg after finding out that vg is sweet.
