The flavors ARE very nice, and true to their names, which has not been my experience in the past. A definite plus! On the down side, the flavors taste REALLY weak to me. I can taste them and appreciate them--barely. I know that this will improve as I vape more and smoke less, so I WILL hang in there and keep on keeping on. I did post individual reviews of the flavors I've tried so far, in the reviews thread.

Thank you all SO much for your encouragement!

I think I need to revise my goal for getting off the analogs. My husband and I are SO tired of throwing away money on rent ... and credit score isn't so hot ... so I'm cashing in some retirement and we're buying a mobile home. It's a 1994 in very nice shape, in a very very nice park. Ultimately, we'd like to find a piece of dirt big enough to raise a few critters--milk cow, a few pigs, a flock of chickens, maybe a few turkeys ... and we'll be better able to save up if we're only paying lot rent--which will happen within a year, after we pay off the few thousand left. Sooo ... I don't think I'll get off the analogs completely by the new year ... but I bet I can reduce 'em a bunch by then!

Oh, that sounds cool! Little mini ranch!

Ok, did you get the extra flavor? Keep in mind that Annette can kick it up even higher for you if you like. Also..you're using ce2s aren't you? If so that may very well be why flavors taste weak. They killed my flavors, esp with organics. Don't know why that would matter, but it seemed to. Maybe try a few drops dripped on atty with driptip to see if that brings the flavors up for you? If so, then you know its a carto issue. And yeah, will definitely get better when you're tastebuds are a bit more recovered. Plus, keep in mind nic on the samples is pretty low. Flavors and intensity overall seem much higher to me when nic is higher. But hang in there! And I've no doubt you can cut way back on the cigs by new year! Good luck!

I got vape mail Saturday. Drunken Pirate Pudding, Eggnog and a sampler of Pecan Pie (thank you, Annette!). All three are five star juices in their own unique way, but the Drunken Pirate Pudding blew me away. I vaped it ALL weekend. It is very strong of rum and very sweet with raisins and a dash of spice. When I wanted to tone it down just a bit, I mixed some with the Precious Pecan Pie and got a milder but just as delicious taste...sort of like Mincemeat Pirate Pie :)

:drool::drool::drool: Thanks for that preview! Now waiting for my mandatory steep time to pass before I get to enjoy my OWN Drunken Pirate . . . .

TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK . . . . :( :D

Deborahsu, I haven't had a real cig in over 15 months and I still have to order everything with extra flavor. (Keep in mind, the more they steep, the more the flavor will come out.) I only vape 6 mg and can taste the flavors great in Annette's juices with the extra flavor, but not other vendor's juices...that is why Annette has been my only juice supplier since April of this year and I couldn't be happier! :) Like orachel said, try it in an atty or maybe some LR Boges or ressurector carto's. I never could get much flavor from the CE2's. Just try different options and hang in there, you will find what works for you and then you will find quitting very easy!!!!

Annette, received my order today...THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! :)

@Deborashu I have trouble tasting some flavors too, and I've been off analogs for almost a year. I get the most flavor from maples, cinnamons, mints, pumpkin. I have trouble tasting for example, pillow dreams, and more "delicate" flavors. I smell it and it's great, vape it and almost nothing (even at extra flavor). I have the egg nog and on arrival, taste it a little, yesterday a bit more, so I'm letting it sit to see. My daughters friend vaped it, and said it is delicious.
I know I will reach for a salty, savory snack over a candy or cookie if given the choice, so I guess it's just me, because I know it's not the juice.

But I LIKE CE2's! :blink:

I'll try the Sapphires that Annette has and see how they do. I did try testing using an atty, but didn't get much flavor OR vapor, though it did glow when dry. I think mostly I simply need an adjustment period, enjoying what is while it develops. Seems like I may be getting a bit more flavor from the tank, but I don't much like 'em because they always smell like they're leaking. I may adjust to that, as well. Who knows?

Thanks for the ideas!

My 24 mg. Eggnog Arrived! Filled Boge LR. !!!WOW!!! My throat is raw, my cheeks are numb and my scalp is tingling after three good draws! This is wonderful. I had no idea there would be such a difference between 12 and 24 mg.
Way to go (although I've never had my cheeks go numb...legally)! How are you liking the eggnog flavor, nice isn't it?
