I was thinking about this a lot recently. And Thought I might start a thread on it for the new and/or not so new vapors that haven't tried as many different flavor profiles. Or maybe you have but have not ventured out in a while? 
When I started vaping, I read it again and again... flavor is subjective. "What does that even mean?" I kept thinking. I mean outside of the obvious flavor may taste different to different people. Which is very true. Or perhaps it's just not your cup-o tea. Whatever... I love that about vaping. It's an adventure. And while I knew that and took the advice of many here to try different flavor profiles, I never ventured out of my comfort bubble too far. After about 2-3 months I settled on liking apple bakery type flavors. Which I would have never guessed when I started vaping. And which I still like.
What I didn't really grasp (even tho I heard it often) is that I may like flavors that really really don't sound appealing to me. For example (and sorry for sounding like a broken record) Fire-n-ice. When I started I tried a straight up cinnamon candy. Because I wanted something different from tobacco. It was okay. But I would have NEVER in a million years would have thought that a cinnamon menthol would be my most loved vape. Why is it? IDK! it's night and day different from the just cinnamon candy that I tried and that is all I know.
What am I getting at? Well. I know most of us know it. And perhaps some of the newer vapors do not... idk I will never presume to know anything about anyone else or what they know... But I think even if we think/ and/ or have a juice that we love, we should always be adventurous and try new juices. Even ones that sound kind repulsing to our tastes. And from different vendors too! Maybe from most vendors you hate the baked goods taste... but that doesn't mean that the next vendor you try you wont like it. There is a chance you would LOVE it. In my experience venders flavors and tastes are as different as night and day.
Hell, I am even thinking of trying more menthol flavors more... I don't like menthol at all in food/ candy / coughdrops. I hated menthol cigs. But, that does not mean that I will not like a menthol vape. I was thinking of trying something crazy (too me) like vanilla menthol. Which really sounds kinda gross and very curious at the same time. If your first thought is "I don't think I will like that" get a sample. You never know really. Well I guess you do if that juice is crab or some such nonsense... lol But I am not talking about that.
Vaping is such a great adventure in a land where out taste-buds tell a story. Why not take an unexpected turn, you never know what you might find there.
