Ever since I stopped smoking I have been vaping a menthol type e-juice. My cigarette of choice was a menthol brand so naturally I gravitated to the menthol juices. My juice of choice has been Halo Sub Zero but with my latest setup with a dual coil .3 ohm cloud machine, Sub Zero is just too much menthol. I want to get away from menthol all together.

The problem is that I am not much of a fruit lover with the exception of apples and grapes. I have been vaping a vanilla custard flavored juice but honestly, it doesn't have much flavor.

Help me find a flavor that I can really enjoy.

I'm kind of the same way. A lot of the sweet fruity flavors don't do it for me. I find the sweetness nauseating after a while.

I'd highly recommend trying some of the Hangsen DIY tobacco concentrates. Flavors like RY4, USA Mix, or Tab are good enough to stand alone just mixed with pg/vg. They also make a good base for making complex sweet/fruit flavors. USA mix goes good with just about anything imo like cinnamon, banana, or even blueberry. RY4 or Tab mix well with desert flavors like toffee, butterscotch, vanilla, etc etc. RY4 is great by itself, it's almost dead on that original Dekang ry4 that everyone and their grandma has tried to clone. If you like the vanilla custard flavor but find it lacking, a ry4 type flavor might be something you'd enjoy. It's hard to pin down but it has vanilla and carmel flavor with a sweet tobacco undertone.

If you're not into diy mixing, they're are a few vendors that sell premixed Hangsen as well.

Hard to recommend a flavor to someone as when I was trying to find something other than a Tobacco I must have sampled hundreds. There are some interesting flavors out there but due to the changes since 8/8 I do not know if any shops have a tasting bar near you anymore. After finally finding a Fruit I could actually vape my collection has over 100 flavors now.

I think I solved my problem. Today I ordered some VG, PG, 100 ml/mg nicotine and a bottle of vanilla concentrate and a bottle of butterscotch concentrate. I am going to mix my own.

Now I am off the the DIY section of the forum.
Best decision you'll ever make! Best of luck to you!

Good luck and feel free to ask questions! USE a CALCULATOR and make sure you mix the Nicotine correctly. A mistake in the nicotine percentage can be unpleasant or unsafe!

    For sure, DIY is the future, and the future is NOW!

    Now I am off the the DIY section of the forum.

    Pick out your favorite flavors, google'm, and add recipe; you'll most likely find a lot of the same concentrates that are part of what you are searching to find.

    Don't go overboard, start with what you really like and get to know them, individually and collectively.

    You can always buy more.

    Good choice. Diy is fun and saves a ton of $$.

    I think DIY is the best idea. When I first started, I was buying in the smallest (cheapest) sizes I could. It seemed to be the only way to find good juices.

    Since DIYing, I find that I try making test samples a lot more. It does take a lot of little test bottles though and writing a lot of notes. It does take some practice and space, but really works out as test samples get adjusted again and again.

    Helps, too, if working with another and sharing the costs of flavors to try. So many possibilities.

    @6steelstrings so how did you make out with your first foray into DIY e-Liquid mixing? Love to hear the success stories and possibly assist.

    I made my first batch yesterday. It is a butterscotch/vanilla flavor and I do like it. The flavor is a little strong so I will have to adjust the flavor concentrate ratios a bit, but it does taste good. The best part is that what I pay for a weeks supply of store bought juice, I now have over a months supply on hand.

    Well, I vaped alot of Menthol, and I never would try any fruit flavors. I was a Tobacco Flavor person. Until I discovered Vampire Vape Heisenberg, It is a blue liquid, It is my No2 ADV now. It is a dark berry /Anise / Mint flavor. I know this sounds bad but it is amazing. Almost all my converts (ca 30 people) only want the blue. Most vape it in an Naut mini but I prefer to put it on subohm tanks. Try it, you will like it.
