Started out on Marlboro Lights, then when they got expensive I switched to Winston Lights. Next thing I know, Winstons are as expensive as Marlboros and Camels, so I switched to 305 Lights (Florida-made cheapies, but they're not bad).

Right now (it's still evolving lol) my go-to flavors are Boba's, Hype, Andes Mint, and Blue Raspberry. My most-vaped though is Boba's... straight or mixed with something.

In my 35+ years of smoking, I tried just about every brand. I smoked Luckys, Pal Mals, and English Ovals [God, I loved those things] (unfiltered) for at least fifteen years, and "cut back" by smoking Winstons & later some of the "light" smokes & Menthols. I still smoke cigars, so I enjoy those flavors immensely.

I now mainly vape Boba's Bounty and some of my DIY juices using Flavor Art tobacco flavorings (their Cuban Supreme flavor with a touch of caramel is spot-on!). When I get a sweet tooth, I enjoy Caramel Popcorn by Tasty Vapor (REALLY good....I'm trying to duplicate it with a DIY), or a few others that suit my mood.

So many choices.....and it seems more coming out all the time...its never-ending. I wish I could try them all!

I smoked Marlboros for the better part of 40 years (Marlboro Mediums for the last dozen years or so of my smoking "career").

When I started vaping, I discovered that I didn't care much for tobacco flavors - they tasted too much like an unlit cigarette to me, and I didn't find them satisfying. I tried all kinds of flavors and wound up using coffee flavors quite a bit - they seemed to have a little "bite" to them. A month or so after I switched to vaping, I got a free menthol carto with an order, so I gave it a whirl. I had always hated menthol cigarettes, so I was amazed at how much I liked the menthol carto. I dabbled with a number of menthol flavors, and wound up liking Halo Menthol Ice the best. It seems like gone through a 55-gallon drum of the stuff since then.

Most recently pall mall reds, going in reverse order, samperona classics (cloves), camel filers, marlboro.

out curiosity at what ratio do you mix your root beer and 555, sounds like i would like that
it's not precise, but i aim for around 2 parts 555 to 1 part rootbeer. i don't premix, but just fill up whatever atty with 555, and top off with rootbeer

i smoked just about every brand and style for a little bit, but for the most part i was a parliament menthol smoker. can imagine how grateful my wallet was when i quit buying $6.25 packs in minnesota where you can get pall malls for $4.22

i also found that i cant stand most tobacco flavors. they just taste like grass or sweetened grass to me. for the longest time i loved citrus bubble with a little menthol added by smokeless smoking, but right now im obsessed with dfwvapors twinky and sour grape flavors.

I smoked Marboro reds for 40+ years.

I find it Very Intresting that...
I don't like the 'bacco Flavors either.
I started with 'coffee' and peach too.
I also like the 'ice' Flavors...and was never a menthol man ???
I DIY now too...mostly fruits and Carmel and butterscotch also.
???...wonder why we seem to like these same flavorings ???

I smoked Winston for twenty some years. When I switched to vaping, I tried just about every e-juice called Win-some, Wins-a-ton, W-tobacco, etc. Nothing tasted like a Winston but I have found some tobacco flavors that trick my brain into thinking I'm smoking. Dessert and fruity vapes just don't work for me. I'm still trying to "smoke". Best simulated tobacco juices I've found are at wordupecig.com. They have a ton of tobacco flavored juices and most of them are excellent.

I was a menthol smoker & smoked just about every menthol cig made at various times. Started with Kools & ended with Pall Mall Menthols. 'cause they were about $1.25 a pack cheaper. I vape all different flavors, now. Still like the various menthols mostly. I do occasionally vape RY4 to mix it up. I really like Pineapple (or Pina Colada) & Butter Rum, also. I was DIYing once & was making a Pear flavor. Well, I didn't put enough flavoring, so I thought I would add a little more. I picked up the wrong bottle of flavoring. I put in Beer instead. I only vape that when I'm drinking! Gotta say, it ain't bad!
