First juice i tried is the Cowboy Menthol from VL4, to replace my addiction to Menthol ultra light. I find it ok and immediately began to look for better juice.

FSUSA was highly recommended by many people here, so i gave them a try by ordering the sample packs. Here is what i got and what i think of them, i have smoke them all when i got them, saved half, and tried again 2 weeks later.

Wyatt Earp - it's like i'm smoking pine leaves, i really dont like, i cut it 50/50 with PG and it's tolerable
RY5 - kinda like raw tobacco mixed with smoked wood, i really dont like, i cut it 50/50
RY4 - almost same as above, i really dont like, i cut it 50/50
Thin Mint Cookies - this one is ok, kinda like a stale thin mint cookie.
French Toast - it's ok, it's pretty weak, i wish it's stronger, taste kinda like butter
Cinnamonbomb - It just kinda burns
Menthol Ultra - sharp menthol, not really my taste.
Cappuccino - very light, actually tastes like coffee, wish it's sweeter.

I want to look for some sweet/creamy/strong flavors, can anyone recommend any other flavors from FSUSA?

Also it's about 4 weeks now and the flavors from the ones i didnt cut 50/50 are almost all gone, is this normal? I've been putting under shaded areas in room temp.

So many things to factor in when trying to determine the problem with juices. How old are your attys / cartos? Usually when I am not getting good flavor or vapor out of a juice that's the first thing I check.

How often are you switching flavors? If you run several flavors through the same atty without cleaning them you can end up mixing a "soup" of flavors and nothing is going to taste right.

How long have you been off analogs? The first month of vaping juices tasted much different than they do now.

I would start by getting a new or boiled atty and try to not change up the flavors as often. I hope this helps, I had a similar thing happen to me when I first started vaping and this solved the problem for me.

I would second those thoughts. cinnamonbomb we don't carry. all the others, thousands of folks love.
Sometimes i suggest to folks hey, let me teach you how to diy and you can start playing with flavors yourself so you can find those ultimate flavors that blow you away.
In the end though, we have all kinds of flavors that are packed with flavor. the regulars here can help you with alot of those. me personally I love the cappuccino smooth as a smooth creamy cup of coffee :)

I use a fresh kr8 carto with each flavor. I know flavors gets stuck in the carto so i avoid mix use.

I've quit smoking for about a month now.

I've actually direct tasted the juices that i thought the flavor is gone.. well, it's there, but very light still when i do it this way. gets my tongue all tingly.

and to mauisun's point, it's cinnamonbun, sorry for the mistake. And I'm sure lots of people loves all the flavors that i've tried, and that's the reason I tried them. But I'm looking for a flavor for myself and those aren't for me.

I want to give FSUSA another try. I just want to avoid another batch that i don't particularly like, if possible. and by posting what i've tried and what i dont like about them, maybe there are people out there with similar taste as me and can recommend something great.

Next time i order i'll ask for double flavor, but can anyone recommend anything that's REALLY creamy, sweet, full of flavor from them?

Tiramisu is a sweet coffee chocolate caramel flavor that is 1 of the strongest flavors that I have tried to date. It taste kind of like a very sweet cookie dipped in coffee. I know many people that need the strong flavors and this has done it for them. Good luck!

BTW- From your descriptions above I am guessing that you don't care for the tobacco flavoring and I don't care for it either. Many people LOVE it but for some of us it is just not our taste.

If you're looking for creamy, sweet, and full of flavor, definitely try hopscotch and butterscotch/almond or plain butterscotch. If you like fruit flavors, try orange creamsicle and/or fuzzy navel.

By the way, do you think part of the problem might be your 808 cartos? I notice a world of difference with flavors depending on which 808 cartos I'm using.

"one man's trash is another man's treasure" - The Wyatt Earp is the best "tobacco" flavor I've tried. Also, a quick plug for the "Applewood" - you get the sweetness of apple along with the taste of applewood. Sort of hard to describe, but FWIW, I'm not a big lover of really sweet juices.

Good example. Some don't like the sweet stuff at all and the rest of us can't live without it!

thank you salemgold for Tiramisu suggestion, sounds like just my thing, and i like tiramisu as well.

thank you krisb for BWB and VB suggestions, i'll definitely give them a try!

thanks vaporfalinfla for the hopscotch/ butterschotch suggestions, I dont know if it's my carto, i use cool carts from V4L with passthrough, tons of vapor. I noticed you are from FLA, I'm in Broward, and you?

Thanks cookie, i'll probably give French Toast another try, double flavor this time!

"one man's trash is another man's treasure" yes i think everyone here knows that, especially when it comes to FSUSA, seems all their flavors are loved by someone in this forum.

I hope you love the hopscotch and butterscotch or butterscotch almond as much as I do! Re. your cartos, cool carts from V4L are pretty good. I use them along with a few other brands. I really like that they are high resistance (cool carts and others). Personally, I don't like a passthrough, but that's just me. It's because I don't like 5 volts (I know that many people do).

So, you're in Broward? What town or city? I went to high school in Cocoa! After I finished high school, and was determined to move out on my own, I lived in Merritt Island. After that, went back to Chicago (where my family is really from other than living in Florida for a few years). After many years of getting sick of cold winters, hubby and I relocated to West Palm Beach (Palm Beach County). Bty, we go to Broward at least once a year to watch shuttles take off.

I'm in Broward county, Ft. Lauderdale area. City is Davie, right off 595. you are like a hour away from me.

I wonder if you know any good vapor's shop in S FL?

vaporgalinfla is right on the V4L Cool Carts and Premiums and I'm waiting for FSUSA to get something equal so I can just do one stop shopping. IMHO though, I have to disagree on the pass throughs. I have one in the car, two in my pick-up, two off of a USB hub on my computer and one on my wifes computer and we think they are great!

We use KR808D-1's and get plenty of flavor and vapor from a battery and carto. But on the pass through you just get a little bit more of everything. For driving or sitting at the computer their wonderful and I'd really recommend you get one and give it a try.

Vaporgal-just curious, why don't you like PT's/5v. I just got one today and was curious why you didn't like it, haven't made up my mind yet.

I know a lot of people like high voltage, but I don't care for it. Maybe it's because of the flavors I use (not sure). At 5 volts, my favorite flavors aren't as good. I like vaping anywhere from 3.5 to 3.7 (darker and/or creamy flavors) up to 4.5 or 4.6 (fruity flavors).

Not to take anything away from any of our favorite vendors, but you can get a wall charger w/2 usb ports/3 reg plug ins from americas favorite retail store. Look for it in the lighting dept with the surge protectors..Around 9 bucks. Can vape on it also all evening watching tv or whatever.:laugh:
