First, thank you all for your contributions to the forum. Have been vaping for a month now and made the transition effortlessly. I wish I had found the site sooner!
Am currently vaping everything on an 1100mAh KGO using SmokTech Dual Coil 1.25 ohm cartomizers.
Have only tried about a dozen flavors so far. All from BWB and Alien Visions apart from Innovapors Ultrapure (warnings of "wet chicken" flavor nailed it imo ugh)
Thus far BWB RY4 and Malty Toffee are the only two flavors I've found which I can enjoy vaping regularly. Behind that is BWB Applewood Tobacco but for regular use I'm having to mix it with Malty Toffee
Will first post thoughts on the flavors I've already tried (other than those above) as it may help in making further suggestions.
BWB:
- Peach. Like the idea of a fruit vape but found this to be perfumey tasting.
- Casablanca. Actually really enjoy the cocoa hit and flavor of this but find it too strong/heavy to smoke on it's own. Probably the most completely reminiscent of an analog I've experienced so far.
- Honey Flue. Still need more time with this to reach a verdict, but not an instant love affair.
- Waffle. High hopes with this dashed on the rocks. Hated the strong almost tart overwhelming
maple. Seemed like I stuck 100% organic maple syrup uncut directly in my carto.
- Menthol Tobacco Strong. Am actually enjoying this to change things up occasionally. Would love to find a fantastic strong all natural Mint or Menthol that is tobacco free.
- Espresso. LOVED the idea hated the experience. Far too strong/harsh a flavor for me. Will be trying it heavily cut with Malty before relegating it to the classifieds. Still after a much smoother coffee or coffee blend.
Alien Visions:
- Boba's and Gorilla Juice. Same issue with both. While I like the nose and first taste of these, and love both the vapor and idea of a 100% VG juice, these both leave a lingering aftertaste I don't enjoy even heavily cut with other juice. Strikes me as a bit synthetic/perfumey and not enjoying what seems like a strong alcohol note? I know it's practically sacrilege as these are extremely well loved by many. Can anyone tell me if this flavor profile runs through their entire line? If not I'd love suggestions of other AV juices to try.
- Hype. Like the BWB Peach found this to be "perfumey". Hoping this is not just how I experience fruit flavors period. But if anyone can relate to my thoughts of either this and the BWB peach and can suggest a completely clean natural tasting fruit flavor which doesn't share this characteristic I'm all ears!
- Chai. Love the real thing. Disliked the vape. Didn't care for the peppery quality. Not sure if this will hold true in all flavors since it's the only one I've tried that was "spicy".
I'm most interested in non-tobaccos that are available in anything from 50/50 mix to 100% VG (but will compromise here), and abhor perfumey/synthetic and alcohol heavy tasting flavors. I eat very few artifically flavored foods in general so I may be more sensitive than most to synthetic/artificial tastes in vaping. As such, organic and natural flavored juices will definitely jump to the head of the line.
I'm especially after potential all day vapes. Personally, I'd love to find just one or two that I can simply order loads of and get off the flavor sampling carousel. I recognize that many enjoy swapping countless flavors, but that's just too much time and effort for what I personally want out of vaping. Don't want to spend as much time THINKING about vaping as I am at this stage.
I know this is quite a limiting list of preferences, but figured that the flavor Vets with extensive testing experience would be most likely be able to point me in a few promising directions.
Here is a list of what is already en route:
BWB - Caramel Capp, Dulche De Leche, Malty, eJoker's (and more RY4)
Vermillion - Caramelized Capp
EcoPure - Rich and Menthol
These are already on my to order list:
Vaperite - VR4 and Rou's (despite wanting to get away from tobaccos I have to acknowledge that the BWB RY4 is 1 out of the two flavors I've found most enjoyable thus far) Caramel Cream, Strawberry Shortcake
Cignot - EcoPure Toffee, Basic Forbidden, Basic Starpuffs
KickBass - Candy Bar, Caramel Capp
PrimeVaping - Boston Cream Pie, PV4
VirginVapor - Organic Kona Coffee Milkshake
Halo - Malibu Menthol, Menthol Ice, CoolMist, TruePure
I'd be especially interested in promising all day vape suggestions not already mentioned from the suppliers on the To Buy list which I can add to my next order. Also keep in mind that while the above looks to be very heavy on the bakery/sweet profile, that is not because it is what I am most attracted to, they're simply the most often recommended non-bacco vapes I've seen listed from these suppliers. Am totally open to other flavor areas as well.
It seems I am more drawn to "smoother" as opposed to harsh/strong vapes. Not one flavor has lacked TH for me at 1.25 ohm / 3.7, in fact some have been too strong. Granted I've been vaping 24mg nic which may be the reason for that. Next order is going to be 18 as I'm not experiencing any jonesing at all right now and do want to steadily lower my nic intake.
Also curious as to whether I'll like something like BWB RY4 without the actual tobacco. Assume this would mean a vanilla/caramel flavor?
Thanks in advance for enduring the long post. I figured that the more info I gave, the more informed the suggestions may be, and without some guidance I'd be lost with the hundreds of available juices!
I appreciate your time and recommendations!
