Flavor/Taste Question

[jamesd1628]

I have a question regarding taste and flavor. I talked a friend of mine into trying the ecig (510) and she doesn't like the taste. She is using menthol (from Rocky Mountain Vapor) is thinks the flavor is too strong on the minty side and doesn't include any of the regular tocacco flavor of a real cig. I recommended mixing the menthol with some tobacco flavor and seeing how that works. I haven't tried it, though. Has anyone else? Any else have any other ideas on how to make an ecig taste more like a real cig? Thanks all.

Most of the tobacco flavors do not taste like cigarette smoke. It is hard to replicate the taste of combusting organic materials. However, some of the tobacco flavors do have a tobacco-like flavor. Most people when they start using an e-cig try to find, generally unsuccessfully, the juice that most closely matches the taste of the type of cigarette they used to smoke. Most people, including myself, quickly realize that other flavors are much more pleasurable to use. I still use tobacco flavors when I am drinking coffee because they are generally not as sweet as some of the other flavors; but I enjoy flavors I never thought possible (Examples: blackberry, atomic fireball, green apple………).


Myfreedomsmokes has some good tobacco flavors; just do not expect them to taste like cigarette smoke.

I mix the 24mg tobacco that comes in 50ml bottles and the 36mg menthol that comes in 35ml bottles both from rockymountainvapor.To me it is the closest I have come to a menthol analog flavor. I mostly use it on a 901 on my screwdriver.

Thanks for the info, folks. I have already passed along. Any and all additional thoughts appreciated.

one major thing i noticed is that the flavor changes drastically after a little while of using them.

im at about 3 weeks into it. the first day i didnt like the flavor, it was strange but i did find that if i used something like the English toffee i didnt mind it. i got the Marlboro too but didnt like that, i also got the DK TB i hated that. whats funny is that i now really like the DK TB and the marlboro is pretty good too..

the point is that not only do you get use to the taste fast BUT the flavor will change quickly since youre not smoking cigarettes. ( assuming you stop like i did)

i dont like the menthol flavors at all even now, i use to smoke menthol as a kid but moved to non later in life. i can smoke a menthol cigarette easier than i can vape menthol.

my favorites now are English toffee, DK TB, Rich, i have been mixing them all a little with a little Krystal 35mg juice. i dont care for it alone but i use it to bump the TH of the others if i want a good strong vape. the others i posted are 25mg. these are all ECOpure juice from Cignot. ihave about 10 other juices that are all ok for the most part. also i wanted a cigarette taste when i started to vape now i cant stand that taste and prefer something a little sweet. believe me i wouldnt have ever ever thought that. i was dead set against that at first even though people said i would.

again when i first started i got a strange taste in my mouth that i didnt care for, i just stuck it out because it satisfied my craving for nicotine.

yes, tastes change drastically over time... she might simply try adding some tob flavor to the menthol she already has, so that juice doesn't go to waste.
