Have my tastes changed?

[SammyT]

It used to be that any and all sweet juice gagged me within 5 minutes of vaping it. I don't know if it's because I now have multiple pv's with multiple flavors but I have been reaching for desert flavors more and more.
My ADV is still simple tobaccos DIY from VZ, french pipe, black and mild, Shisha, real cig, and honey flue cured. But I won all this sweet stuff from the vape meet and now I am wondering if I should start DIYing some sweet stuff... Who knew I would develop a Sweet Tooth this long in to vaping. I thought I was set in my ways, but just when you think that something changes every time. I swear people jinx themselves saying "this is gonna work for me forever" it seems every time I hear something like that, that person has something new about their setup within a month

By the way... all this sweet stuff is:
Vapor Labz : Blueberry almond cream, Strawberry Cheesecake, 1.21 gigawatts
Mister E : Pure michigan
Fusion vapor: Unicorn blood

All together I won about 90 ml of juice

Congrats on winning the liquids at the vapemeet. nice

When i started vaping i liked menthols, mints and very sweet flavors. Didn't like fruits. Now, 90% of my flavors are fruit based, I don't like mints, and a rarely go for the sweet stuff (unlike in real life). I also used to think that i could only use 1 PV at a time. Now i have multiple flavors in multiple PVS and switch up all day.

I'd say the majority of the stuff I vape is sweet. To me, its about the only flavor that remains constant. It seems the other flavors such as tobacco and flavors such as butterscotch seem to taper off after a couple hours and become mute. Not sure if its just me, but thats my experience. The tobacco's I've tried have left a little bit to be desired. About the only tobacco flavor I've liked is Our RY4 from MVS. 555 Menthol from Mt Baker is ok after steeping, but not as sweet and awesome like the RY4.

On another note, how is that unicorn blood? I've been thinking about getting a sample pack from fusion vapor for a couple weeks now.

I had the Pleasure of meeting Gutter this past weekend. Great guy. And ate a Helluva Great burger in Auburn, lol

 

[SammyT]

Thanks ces! I rarely win anything so it felt good. Gutter, to be its a nice vape, kinda like strawberry jello. It's good for a couple hours then I gotta switch. I experience the flavor muting of tobacco juice, but I have come to appreciate it. It's kind of like smoking, when you first tried it, it tasted much different than when you had been smoking a while.

Me too!!!
I think I have a worse problem with juices.

A little history: When I started vaping I had ordered a LEO starter kit. It came with small tanks of Tobacco Flavor. I got pretty sick of it before I used it all up. After that I borrowed come COFFEE and other flavors from friends. I found I liked the 'Dark' flavors like RY4, Chocolate, Caramel and others. After that ran out I found a site and ordered a variety of juices from China directly. My thoughts were to order large bottles (50mil jars) and Triple Flavor and High NIC in order to get the Best Flavor for the buck and could Mix it down with No-Flavor / No-NIC.
After getting all this juice I found them mostly sickening in that state and could never get the mix down to a tolerable level.
The Chocolate tasted like household cleaner, The Apricot tasted like shampoo and the Pineapple tasted like plastic.
So trying to get my money's worth I Mixed and thinned Mixed again and vaped all I could of it.

Now I have the Problem. I cannot stand the smell of any juices and my equipment as it makes me nauseous. I have reverted back to analogs and my tobacco Pipe. I can't even pick up the box I keep my vaping stuff in without feeling a little sick.

I have friends that still vape and a few that just started and have advised them on getting good equipment and juice. (I have not told them I got sick of it because I didn't want them to get any wrong impressions and cause any of them to have a bad experience by "suggestion"). I have Vaped a bit with them just to show off My LEO and talk about vaping.

But I still have the problem and don't know what to do. I have not ordered any equipment (Empty cartos) or Juices lately and am not sure if I will be able to stomach anything.

Any Advise?

dragon thats a sad story.if you do start back,i will suggest watermelon.

 

[CES]

Oh no dragon....that's awful. Maybe a complete switch of flavors? Light flavors may be different enough that they don't trigger the response...you could also try unflavored. I'd also suggest all new atties/cartos, don't even try to get the old nasty flavors out.

Your best bet might be to go to a brick and mortar store and see if they have any flavors you can tolerate....Vulcan vapes has a really wide variety of flavors.

 

[DragonXIII]

Thanks CES and Wind,
I did try some light flavors I got from Eco Smoke Huntsville (Apple).
As well as some I bummed from friends. (Watermelon, Mt Dew, lime and others.)
Still I can't seem to get past the smell of the VG or PG base. (Not sure which)
I tried them with new cartos I still had lying around.
Just not sure what direction to go other than letting it rest a little while longer and try again.
I am not totally giving up on vaping.
I just hope I can get back into it soon.
I am a big proponent of vaping and have helped a lot of folks try it.
Analogs are still expensive. (Not to mention the harmfulness)

 

[CES]

I really hope that you can get past this Dragon....that sounds just miserable.

 

[Foxman]

Dragon, I hate to hear that. I hope you can hang on till we get our store open then you can get your juice made with What ever flavor you want, lol. And try different device to find something you can vape with. Fingers Crossed!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SammyT]

Dragon, if you are a pipe smoker I make my DIY juices that are very much like smoking a pipe for real in my opinion. If you would like I would be happy to send you some things to try I hate to hear that someone WANTS to vape but can't. Some things to try from what I have read here... Try 100% Vg, try 100%pg, and try some small bottles from flavor artisans. To be honest, most juice is sickening to me, you just have to find the right stuff! Like I said just PM me your addy and I will be glad to help in any way I can. And if the box you keep your vaping stuff in smells awful... Take out your Leo and throw the rest in the garbage!!

[SammyT]

I mixed half and half French pipe and blueberry almond cream today.... Ohhh yeeaah it's good!

[gutter22]

Very nice to meet you as well Foxman! Definitely have to do it again.

 

[DragonXIII]

Thanks Sammy, Fox and CES

I think I'll gather up all the stuff and go through it and clean / wash all the accesseries, bottles and things.
Then throw out box and all the old ziplock bags and that sort of stuff.
Find a new box to keep the spare stuff in and one for the daily use.

Maybe I can stand to have it around again.

"Fingers crossed."

Oh yes, I have, up to this point, only used 100% VG juices. May be time to try some primarily PG juice. Just a thought.

 

[CES]

After you have the cleanup done and everything squared away, you could get unflavored PG from the drugstore and try that with a new carto/new atty. It's a lot cheaper to try it on it's own to see if you can tolerate the base scent/flavor.

 

[the wind]

might be all in your head.just a few more session with us might do the trick.

 

[DaveyC]

I think I used to be so much more picky when I started to vape.

 

[CES]

turns out that I'm still really picky about some things- others, not so much...

 

[Foxman]

I'M Still picky, lol
