Okay so I'm looking for some suggestions....

Every now and then (like right now) I find myself really craving a cig. When I bought my first set up, I bought a tobacco flavor that is anything but gourmet...and that's fine because it got me off of the cigs.

The past few days I've been really craving a cig, so I pulled out that bottle of my first 6mg juice (Almond and Amaretto) and filled a tank up. There's some kind of sweetness in it I find annoying on the inhale but the rest of it is taking care of that cig craving I am having. The slightly dirty tobacco taste, the throat hit. That lingering tobacco taste in your mouth.

I know we have a few tobacco experts here and was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for a no nonsense straight tobacco vape. It does not need to be gourmet...my 30+ year Virginia Slim lights were anything but gourmet.

Thanks :)

Have you tried The Virus from Nicoticket? Or Radioactive? I have some Virus I got sent but haven't tried it yet as I've not really experienced this craving recently. Yesterday I did get really mad about something but just vaped my way through it with the Blueberry Colada I had on hand :)

So I went on a newbie-samples buying binge, as you do, and now I'm loving pretty much everything I'm trying. I think that's not such a great thing for my pocketbook! How do y'all decide what and when to reorder? I still have TONS of things to try/that are aging but every time I try something I love I think, Oooh, gotta buy that so it has time to age. Right now it Alice's Twas Brillig, which I didn't even think I liked when I first tried it!

Boardwalk Empire is an awesome show...too bad the next season is the last. I guess it can't go on forever though.

The following and Hannibal are both great as well....and I'm looking forward to getting into Fargo.

Hannibal - I can't stop watching it. Here's the thing: the writing is bad, most of the acting is pretty bad, the dialog is horrible...but the show is a twisty take on the procedural crime drama: rather than being "just the facts," it's about emotions which is the opposite of what a crime drama is supposed to be. And it totally works. The visuals are absolutely stunning. I look forward to it every week.

Try and get small sample bottles. The cons are: if you really love something, you don't have more on hand, and have to order. But the pro's are, less out of pocket if you aren't in love w/ the flavor.

Also, your vaping taste is going to change dramatically during the first several months. There are juices I loved several years ago, I probably wouldn't touch today. Great thing is with such a variety to select out there, it's a fun road to travel.

Hello everyone!

I'm way behind on this thread so apologies in advance if my post replies are a little stale.

I have 4 different juices on tap today:
Mothers Milk
Flatline by Mastermind
Thai Iced Tea by TVK
and Nectar by Neckbears (thx Lav!!!)

Lol mothers milk is a local craft beer by me.

I've never once experienced this peppery taste people talk about

I get it with TVC Fluffy Cake if the volts are too low. I haven't tasted it with another juice yet, but I have many many unopened bottles steeping. I hope I don't ever taste the white pepper again.

I am still convinced that Nicotine alters flavor... Which is a big reason I wanted to find someone who did not vape Nic to compare notes. So far I've only seen a handful on this entire site that I know for sure vape no nic. (which is why I put that in my signature line or whatever you call it)

I was thinking about updating the signature too - I like when people list their vape equipment as well as nic level - then I know whether I can ask a relevant question or not :)

Lol and I thought I had a good little collection. Noob that I am.
I wish PayPal was accepted by more liquid sellers.
I'm working at my credit cards and don't use them except for emergency.
Paypal is basically free money for me.
So if I could order liquid with that !
I'll check the list for people that accept it.

My two closest friends are a couple that run a DIY e-liquid supply website. They said that they can't use paypal for any transactions involving nicotine because of paypal's policies, so they decided not to work with paypal at all rather than risk a sale that violated the agreement.

Out of curiosity - I purchased out of Ahlusion's Xpress line (not available in their regular line), Sweet Virginia. It's slightly sweet on the inhale, but smokey on the exhale (but in a good way). Probably the closest I've come to real cigarettes (except for the sweet - but it's not a cloying sweet).

And it intrigued me through the whole bottle. Need to get some more.

I've not tried American Blend, also in the Xpress line, but I think I remember that it is good too, but no sweet. But I'm not willing to swear on that - as my memory ain't what it used to be! LOL

But I CAN wholeheartedly recommend Sweet Virginia.

Edit - the one review that's written for American Blend does describe it as sweet as well - my bad!

Thanks! Think I will head over to the AHL board and see what those experts say!

Rin my wife Vapes 0nic. To me 0nic juice just stays the same. Steeping process does nothing to it except get rid of the perfume and chemical smell if it had one to begin with. Especially 0nic creamy vapes like custards and vanillas. She still has a few that she likes but fruit and drink flavors seem to be the best in 0nic.

MY creamy vapes with 6mg of nic continue to change and get better because the nicotine is oxidizing and that process really changes the flavor and consistency of the juice.

We have plenty of the same juice at 0 and 6mg that are a few months old that taste nothing alike. Do you have problems with creamy vapes? Do you prefer fruit flavored juices? Do you have some 0nic dessert vapes that you can recommend?
