I still need to get ahold of a sample size of TriBeCa. The shop I ordered from didn't have it in stock when I placed an order. It seems to be the one everyone talks about. Have you tried freedom? I wonder how they compare

I did get some Freedom...I wasn't a fan...tasted like those early mall ecigs, circa 2009. That being said, I haven't tried it in a mini-tank yet--just the LR carts which I despise, as I find that EVERYTHING is better in a mini-tank. I'm starting to suspect, however, that the flat tobacco flavors are surprisingly not going to be my favorites. Go figure!

As time goes by, you will find yourself going to the same few juices in a day. Rotation between flavors is best or you will tire quickly of a flavor if you continue to vape it all day every day.

There are so many flavors and juice vendors to try. Don't become discouraged, you will naturally start reaching for those few favorites more and more. If you think about it, your tastebuds are experiencing sensory overload. For years the only "flavor" they had was the same boring burnt tobacco flavor. Now they have to adjust to a wide variety of great flavors.

While you are searching for your all day favorites, don't forget to drink lots and lots of water. Keep yourself well hydrated. :)

Trying to find an ADV is like trying to find a food that you won't mind eating every day for the rest of your life. For most people, it's completely impossible. Sure, you may find something that you crave more often than the rest, but even that will get old eventually.

E-juice is made with food flavors, and you're going to get sick of them just as quickly as you do the foods that those flavors were made for/from. You'll be a lot happier if you approach it like dinner. What are you in the mood for today? Give it a couple months and you should have enough flavors collected to satisfy whatever cravings might come up.

I have around 5 different flavors that I love. They meet my vaping with coffee test and I rotate between them. You should definitely try a few RY4's. Most vapers have a vendor that sells one that is to their taste. The original flavor was tobacco mixed with caramel and vanilla. Now each vendor has a variant on this particular flavor, so there are ones that tobacco lovers like and ones that people who vape desert flavors like. Each vendor has a different take on it, so there is a lot of difference between each brand.

Another good way to find good juice is to see what other people are raving about. Boba's Bounty is a great vape juice that it seems like everyone loves. Alien Visions E-Juice sells it, but it may take you a while to get on the site when it is actually open. Check out the e-liquid forum and see what other people are talking about.

I've come to the conclusion that I will never find an ADV and I'm OK with that. I have several flavors that I like and I rotate through depending on how I am feeling, what I am doing, what I am eating / drinking etc.

Absolute best way to try a lot of different flavors is to get a regular 510 atomizer . You can get them for about $5 and they are really easy to use. Just drip a few drops and vape. It's a lot easier than filling up a clearo each time you want to try a different flavor.

Try a lot of juices and don't be afraid to go outside your comfort zone. The most surprising thing I have found about vaping is how my tastes have changed as I have been vaping. At first I looked for tobacco type flavors; there are some very good ones and I enjoyed them a great deal. My wife introduced me to bakery flavors. Wow! This was an eye-opener. Lovely and sweet and soft. Most recently, I have discovered tea flavors accented with citrus and fruit. My current ADV is a green tea with passion fruit. I've already gone through two 60ml bottles and have another 120 on the shelf. It really has become my standard. I still vape some bakery flavors to mix it up, and some tobaccos when the mood hits me.

Experiment and try as much juice as you can. Go to vape meets. HOST a vape meet! One of the best things about vaping is all the very, very wonderful flavors to be tasted and enjoyed.

With smoking, we all mostly stayed to one brand, one flavor if you will. Mine were the cheapest I could find.

With vaping, stickign with one flavor is nearly impossible. Juice isn't as strong a carrier for long standing consistent flavor like burning paper and leaves. Many vapers become distressed when they lose the flavor, even though they are still getting their nic. We get use to having, wanting that flavor. But our tongues get bored.

Rotation is the key to survival in the vape world. Of course, there are many vapers who love unflavored juice.

Well said, I understand all of that; the 3 year search is what caught my attention.

Yeah I guess when I read posts talking about an ADV I didn't think about it being a rotation of sorts, not necessarily sticking to one flavor every day. The post relating it to food really makes sense. I actually found myself wanting the minty flavor I got and vaped all last night and this morning, so I just swapped from a cinnamon to the mint and it had some residual flavor left over from the cinnamon and I think I'm going to try mixing the mint with the cinnamon because it was a surprisingly good flavor. I will also check out the bobas bounty and RY4. I did try the B&M's RY4 that they called OY4 and it was pretty good but it seemed a bit too sweet to vape on for very long. I'm sure once I have a chance to try some other RY4 variants I will probably find a milder one that would be really good.
