Hang in there. I went through the same thing (and probably everyone else). It's particularly frustrating because everyone's tastes are so different. I got so excited about some of the rave reviews and descriptors here that i thought for sure, this next one has "got to be the one."

About two dozen vendors later, i've found three that are must-haves. You'll get there eventually.

All over the place
First, hang in there! Second, can you tell us what you have tried (not necessarily the vendors but the flavors). Third, tell us a little bit about what you don't like about the flavors, besides "yuck".

It very well may be that you are choosing flavors that you are interested in but not flavors that will please you vapeably. My first attempts were purchased for what sounded best to my eating mind, but not through the vaping prism. Not saying that this is your problem, but it may be just be that you are barking up the wrong tree. I gave up on anything that is associated with food, except for one juice I vape called Dark Honey Tobacco.

p.s. Like Salemgold said, you can sell on the classifieds and you can also buy from there as well at cheaper prices. So, keep your head up, and stay away from combustion.

Windy,

Try RW Vapors tobaccos if you haven't. They have a sampler pack for $6.95 for 5 samples and that's the best sampler price I've found. They have 12 tobaccos and I've tried 5 of them and all 5 were excellent! None were perfumey or skunkey smelling:) I love their Cherry Jack and Vanilla Tobacco. Their fruit flavors are excellent too.

Vapor Sampler - $6.95 : RW Vapors

Good luck and don't give up. You'll find some you love and then this road will be easier to follow.

What hardware are you using? Include atty/carto ohms?

Is it functioning well? Burt flavors, or old flavoring the the atty/carto will throw off new flavors too. Cleaning it out before switching?

Also, some cartos have what I call "carto flavor" or "fluff flavor". Not a fan. I use atomizers and drip for good flavor.

If you tried them already then perhaps you can discard this advice, but I had a hard time finding a decent juice until I tried Backwoods Brew. Don's juice is something of an art. There's a balance to his stuff that you won't really find anywhere else. He doesn't over flavor and keeps things in the right proportions.

Don't get me wrong there are juices in his lineup that I don't care for, but the ones I do like are perfect.

Tobacco with fruit. Can I suggest for you BWB's applewood tobacco? It's got tons of great reviews and I think it could work for you.

It seems like you're determined you will like tobacco and something flavors. A bunch of people end up liking everything but the tobacco ones. It really isn't like eating some food and "tobacco flavored" is a very broad stroke. I ordered some similar samples from cheap places and got disappointed early on just like that. Try a tea brew from rawr or some lime flavor somewhere. Some of the flavors just work a lot better than others do. And it usually isn't the ones a person starting out would expect. Its just one of those things. Doesn't work the way you think it will.

One thing I have not seen mentioned here yet is to let you juice steep before you give it the final thumbs up or down. Some may need up to 2 weeks before the flavor ends up what it is going to be, so dont be too quick to write off the ones you dont like. One example is Berry Blue from Vape Dudes, I did not like it the day I got it, but I tried it again a week later and the flavor comes though now where before I was not even sure what I was tasting.


Do you have something to drip with to easily try new flavors? If not you can remove the poly fill from a carto. I know it works like a charm on single coil cartos that I get from smokeless image, just bend a paper clip or safety pin into what looks like a small fishing hook, stick the hook into the poly fill and pull up, comes right out nice and easy, then you can drip into it. Just one drop at a time though or it will leak.

I just gave away my unwanted juice in the pay it forward thread, but I have about 25 flavors coming from ECblends, BWB and Vape Dudes.

I recommend subscribing to the PIF threads so you can jump in as soon as there is an offer there posted you may want, then you can PIF the juice you dont like, is a great way to get all new juice for just the price of shipping.
