How does vaping actually change the taste of analogs?

[Krashman Von Stinkputin]

Heh, I sometimes wonder if people are saying that analogs taste nasty now as a (albeit smart) psychological trick. ie: Telling yourself you don't want chocolate cake because chocolate cake is "too rich" or "too sweet" or something. You and I both know that chocolate cake is delicious.

Just my personal experience, but the few cigarettes I've had in the ~1.5 years I've been vaping have tasted as good as any I can remember.

Not at all for me.

First time I tried a artesian tobacco vape, I realized what the flavor of tobacco really is.

Comparing that to a Marlboro is like comparing a filet mignon to a hot dog.
While they both are bovine in origin:
One is a select cut of meat
The other is leftover cow parts scooped up from a dirty floor.

And what e-juice would this be, I'm curious?

I'm relieved that I'm not the slightest bit curious what a cigarette tastes like. I started vaping to "cut down" from a 2 pack a day, 33 year habit. Within 2 weeks of "cutting back", I found I was able to quit entirely and with little to no effort. I consider that a gift. I have no interest risking it for any sense of curiosity. Its been over 2 years since my last cigarette and I've never felt better.
To me, it makes as much sense as drinking a little liquor to see if I still break out in handcuffs after 15 years. No thanks.

But what a night, eh?

Johnson Creek or Epipemods are two companies with several varieties of non-cigarette flavored tobaccos.
Myvaporjuice has some good ones as well.

Vaping allows your tastebuds to go back to normal. When you pick up the cig it tastes like it should, like the time you first took your first puff... tastes like crap

Same here...unfortunately my wife still smokes so I'm surrounded by cig smoke all the time.

And while we're on the topic, while I certainly don't like the smell of stale cigarette smoke (who does?), if I catch a whiff of a freshly lit smoke I still love the smell. Most people here seem to develop a disdain for it after they quit, but not me!...go figure...

From most nasty to evokes pleasant memories: Wet ash tray, close side stream smoke (had a much greater tolerance to it when I smoked) stale smoke odor on a person, distant cigar or cheap cigarette smoke, distant other name brand, distant my former name brand smoke. Yes, I can still recognize it after six years even though it was renamed when the word 'lights' was banned. And by distant I mean 10 to 50 feet.

I'm also weird in that a faint whiff of skunk (the black and white striped critter) way off in the distance is actually pleasant to me. Of course I have never been sprayed or I might feel different about the smell.
