Marlboro Reds until I couldn't afford them. I smoked 305's ( cheap Florida brand ) for awhile before getting into MYO for two years. Now my all day vape is DIY menthol, sometimes with fruit, and no tobacco flavor. I never hated menthol cigarettes, but I was not a menthol smoker. I did get into menthol tubes for MYO for a little bit, though.

Started on Marlboro light 100's when I was 16, then switched to alternating Marlboro Reds or Red 100's from age 18- 27, then went through several "trying to quit/cut back" cycles and switched back to light 100's until I was 34 and hung up the stinky habit for good when I started vaping. Marlboro isn't getting any more of my hard earned $$$!

I started vaping pre-filled cherry cartos from V2cigs. 2 months after I started vaping I started DIY, never found a cherry I liked, discovered Lorann's natural Strawberry, and now that is all I vape, all day, everyday. Never went for 'baccy flavors, hated coffee flavor, and while I do like a little minty vape now and again, (I add a drop of mint to my tank a few times a year) I hated menthols when I smoked. Go figure!

When i began smoking I smoked Vantage.
In the ensuing 40 years after I smoked Kools, B&H menthol, Virginia Slims menthol and Malboro menthols. Back then there was a cigarette that was called Lemon Twist that I smoked for a while and one called Magna (not sure if they still make Magnas.)
Then the menthol started getting to me so I switched to Camels and Malboro reds, and as the price of smokes got more expensive I started smoking cigarillos because they were less expensive. I was smoking Swisher Sweet cherry when i quit and started vaping.

My favorite flavours right now are MBV Sweet Tart, 50/50 and Dekang VG Juicy Peach mixed with Dekang Plain Peach.
I'm finding that I like lots of peach flavours...I'm still in the process of trying as many as I can lay my hands on.

I always liked the taste of camels the best. but then the prices jumped so i rolled my own for a while. then the prices jumped on that so i did pall malls. then i tubed my own for a while.

i quit on revolution smooth ice but now I mostly bounce around fruits. I can suck down ECB's fruit smoothie all day long. but I DIY now, no idea if i'll ever be able to recreate the smoothie.

I was a strict Parliament Lights girl for 11 years until a year ago I got hooked on Camel Crushes.

Now my all day vapes are Halo Belgian Cocoa, SCV Chocolate Strawberry, Pinkspot Andes Mint, or Blueberry Cake (tastes more like blueberry cheesecake ^0^) from a local B&M...didn't realize till now how much I vape chocolate... O_O

The last brand I used for a long-ish time was Camel Menthol for about 3 years. I have Ice Beard (a menthol tobacco) in a tank right now & it's my current all day vape. I didn't think I would ever like tobacco juices because I tried tobacco flavors before and didn't like them, but Velvet Cloud Vapor has changed my mind about them. I have a ton of flavors floating around, from fruity to tobacco, and my favorites change. I guess my top three right now are Ice Beard, Truth Serum from Rawr, and maybe Rockstar from Mt. Baker Vapor (although I think the Rockstar could use an extra shot of flavor, which I plan to try when I run out of it and re-order).

40+ yrs Kool menthol 99.9% 2 PAD... DeKang menthol 24mg PG & DeKang menthol 18mg VG blended 50/50...

I tried a few tobacco/menthol blends, some fruits, and several RY4's and such and they all tasted like ....... It seemed almost all of them had a nutty taste to them and just couldn't get by that at all. I don't ever remember any analog I smoked tasting like almonds or Planters peanuts!!! I love a good menthol and have tried the Halo's and such, but even they don't seem to have the menthol right. It either tastes like a Hall's cough drop or Vicks vapor rub... Been vaping the DeKang blend for almost 2 years now and don't ever see changing, (unless that is to quit completely)....

Smoked mostly charcoal filter cigs for 37+ years: Lark, Tareyton and Parliaments. Now I vape waffle, espresso, caramel cappucino, creme caramel and some other flavors to mix it up a bit. Favorite vendors right now are Backwoods Brew, Virgin Vapor and Heather's Heavenly Vapes.

I'm at the point now where I can't even imagine smoking an analog. I can smell a smoker from very far away and getting trapped in an elevator with someone who's just had a cigarette is a hellish experience. I used to be that smoker.

I smoked Marb lights 100s for a long time. And when prices first started going up, I bought them from overseas. Then customs started stealing my orders. So I started buying from Reservation sites, brands I'd never heard of before, but decent and cheap. Then BT paid off Congress to stop that. So for the last 2 years, it was those godawful 'little cigars' - Seneca Sweets and some others. Everyone once in a long while I'd buy myself a $7 pack of Marbs as a 'treat'...

The V4L Vanilla that I was vaping nonstop my first few weeks is now tasting funny, no idea why. Now I'm rationing my last bit of MBV Root Beer until my 50ml gets here Monday. While flitting between a google of other little bottles trying to find something that hits the spot...

As for Tobacco, I just reordered RY4 from V4L. I've tried a few flavors I liked ok, a couple that tasted like horse manure. Again, still searching for 'the one.'
