Ok so as i mentioned in my first post i've had an e-cig for a couple months now (it was cheap) and the carts have now run out unfortunately they didn't last until my 510 got here - Hopefully that will turn up today - So for obvious reasons when i got the first e-cig i got pre-filled "tobacco flavour" carts and i didn't find them too bad .

Like most people i guess i was looking at an e-cig as a cigarette replacement which honestly now i see it as acting like a cig but with so much more. When i ordered the 510 i thought "ok i'll buy the e-cig and get some e-liquid to fill it up with" so that's exactly what i did and i went for ..... you guessed it !! tobacco flavour e-liquid. After a couple days waiting for my 510 to show up iv'e been looking around at all the e-liquids that you can get and i have to say i'm completely overwhelmed.

What i'd like to know is what your favourite flavours are (as well as where to get them from) - i know this can be a learning curve but i'd love to weed out a few of the horrible ones and try a few of the good ones.

Thanks

Hello and welcome. Congrats on making the switch,
I'm afraid I can only speak to the usa vendors when it comes to juice....however, two companies that I am aware of are totally wicked, and liberty flights. Both have companies in the uk..... totally wicked seems to make their own juices, and liberty-flights uses flavourart(s) that is based out of Italy, I think.
Hopefully, some member here from the uk will come along and be of better help for you.
Glad you found ecf.

I thought I would WANT tobacco flavored vapes but after trying a bunch of other flavors over the weeks I started NOT liking them. I ended up giving ALL of my cig tasting like juice away. I grew to like Gummy Bear, Walnut, Pepsi, Red Bull. I would say buy a few sampler packs from a few different places till you find what you like.

There is a whole sub-forum about juices and so much to learn and try. I still like tobacco juices and on a quest to try all the different RY4 I can sample from different companies. Everyone's taste is different, but my favorite flavor is Boba's Bounty from Alien Vision. A close 2nd is casablanca from Backwoods Brew and I like RY4 from FreedomSmokeUSA.

The Boba's seems to be fine from the day it arrives in the mail, however those others need to steep for about 2 weeks. They make them to order, so it takes time to mature. Read a lot, don't put too much stock in the video's and buy small samples to try. If you don't like something, put it in a cool dark place for a couple weeks and try it later. If you're coming off of analogs, keep it even longer because you tastes will also change. Good luck.

Is it bad that i like the idea of a flavour from the name of it .. Just googled boba's bounty purely because of the name makes me want to try it lol

Welcome to ECF!
Marketing people make a living trying to achieve that exact effect on people when naming products. Nothing wrong with it at all. If the name gets you to at least try it, then its a good one. You may hate the juice, but you tried it. Company names also affect me one way or another. Because of my personal tastes, I respond quite favorably to names like Alien Visions, Mad Vapes or Totally Wicked etc...others not so much. The names get me to try them but if they are disappointing, I don't hesitate to move along.

If I were to start a company in the vaping business, this would be my trademark...lol!

Lol nice trademark. I hear what you are saying maybe the reason that Totally Wicked moved from the TECC name. But saying that inspires me to try flavours i really don't like the name of :)

I don't know your UK companies and what they have but...

The first 2 months I actually needed to vape tobacco juices to not get analog cravings. but I could mix other flavors into the tobacco cart or carto (like vanilla, caramel, cocoa, chocolate, fruit - like peach tobacco is very good)

Some flavors I like that many others seems to like are vanillas, caramels, and good cocoas/chocolates. I also love a mostly cocoa tobacco. Some people enjoy cinnamon flavors (not me much though). I can enjoy a bit of ginger like a ginger ale flavor. People's fruit tastes seem to vary a lot. I'm more of a berries and peach person, not citrus, not melons, not apples - so basically the fruit ejuices I like match the fruits I prefer in real life (berries and peach, maybe some peach-like fruits like mango or apricot). Liquor flavors - I like the taste of rum so I like eliquids w/ rum flavor a lot. Currently using vanillarum from Gourmet Vapor (vanilla, caramel, rum)

BTW - Try some Boge standard resistance cartomizers on 510 - an added expense but very nice and great for keeping flavors separate. I get the longest good performance out of each by using thin fairly clear juices.(like not more than 20% VG)
