How have your tastes changed over time?

[Zabolee]

I have noticed that since I took up vaping, my flavor preferences have continuously been changing. I started out vaping a menthol tobacco flavor because that is what I used to smoke. But that only lasted a few months. Next, I moved on to simple fruit flavors. Maybe a little mixing, but not too complex. Then I discovered more bready juices. I still love cakes, but today I prefer cereal-type flavors. I still like there to be a hint of fruit. But it's been interesting to see how my preferences have developed.

Since you stared to vape, what types of flavors have you guys been enjoying over time?

I liked custards/deserts/candy flavors at first. I always hated menthol and tobacco flavors. Over time, I started disliking all flavors and I vape unflavored for a while now.

Mine haven't, I vape 2 flavors one of which I started vaping over a year ago. The only thing I have changed is adding some unflavored to make the store bought last longer. But that's my personality I find something that works or I like and don't change, my equipment is the same way. I'm a big fan of the if it ain't broke don't fix it mentality.

My Tastes have changed Significantly.

But not in that I don't like the Same Flavors I did when I Started. I still Do. I just like Less Flavoring in my e-Liquids. And use Unflavored much of the Time.

I used to want Intense, Double Shot, Face Melting e-Liquids. But I burned out on So Much Flavor.

I used to like pretty much everything, but now I have about 4 flavors that I vape and don't care for anything else. Hate tobacco flavors, I don't even like the smell of them. Don't care for fruity flavors either. I've got two mint blends, a custard that I like, and a straight vanilla mix, and that's it. I rotate between three of them each day, vaping the mints at work so my boss doesn't smell them (He knows I vape in my office, but some smells bother him) and swap between the custard and vanilla while I driver or am at home.

I've gone through some changes, both in flavors, and the amount of flavoring. I was also very much a m2l vapor and lately I've been wanting large airflow. Perhaps both are due to recovery of taste and lungs?

When I started out vaping, I had tried several types of flavors. I pretty much stuck to the fruity ones. Never did try the bakery since I am not crazy about pastries in real life. I did try a tobacco but didn't realize there was a difference between a NET (just starting to become popular at the time) and tobacco 'flavoring'. The tobacco flavoring liquid, not for me.

After about a year, I decided to try one of those NET (Naturally Extracted Tobacco) vapes. O.M.G. fell in love.

Went from all fruity vapes to NET vapes and now I am down to a single NET. All Day, Every Day.

Yeah, my taste has changed over time.

In the begining I wanted tobacco's and nothing sweet. Then I went to sweet and hated fruit flavors. Now I love fruit and sweet. I DIY which is great because I am constantly changing what I want.

That's what happened in my vape experience, if it doesn't have NET it ain't for me.

I knew we had Something in common

I used to love bakery flavors and dislike fruit, menthol and tobacco.
Now I like mildly flavored fruits(not too sweet) and mild mint. I still have one semi bakery/fruit/dessert flavor that is constant rotation(PB&J)

lol! ECF breaking down barriers.

I tired several peanut butter-chocolate blends to start off with. After reading about unflavored, I decided to take a chance. Now that's all I use. 50/50 24 unflavored....OYE!!

Was it and instant taking to or did you use flavored and unflavored together for a bit? I was thinking about going that route.

I know it wasn't directed towards me but I am a middle grounder, I don't like unflavored by itself but I love using it to "cut" my flavored juice with it 3:1. It still gives me that flavor that I love and makes the bottles I buy last 4 times as long.

Year 1 and 2 - Cola was my favorite flavor.
Year 3 and 4 - Cinnamon type flavors were my favorite.
Year 5 (current) - Black Pepper is my favorite.

I'll still get flavors with cinnamon, but don't really care if I order cola flavors any more. Partially cause year 1 had the best cola flavor I've tried, and haven't found anything like it, but mostly cause I still flavor explore.

I do recall hating on a (tobacco) flavor in year 1 that when I tried it again in year 2, I liked it.

Since then, I essentially separate everything into category of vapeable or not. Probably have had around 1% of stuff I've ever tried that was not vapeable.

Thanks! I was thinking about diluting and stepping down flavoring. Not sure why it's like that but very recently I've been more leaning towards simple subtleness.

Oh yeah. When I started vaping 3 1/2 years ago, I could vape most anything. I believe that my senses of smell and taste were so trashed after 40+ years of heavy smoking, that I couldn't really taste anything. So I began with several cheaper tobacco flavors and I rather stupidly stocked up, buying 20 bottles.

About 2-3 months later all of those began to taste horrible. I was still convinced that I would need a tobacco flavor (no fruity stuff for me). So that began what is affectionately remembered in my household as "The great tobacco hunt of 2012". I sampled dozens of tobacco flavors from several companies to little or no avail.

It just so happens that one of those was a cherry tobacco flavor that I could tolerate, and that kept me going. It also led me to those fruity flavors that I was so sure were not for a guy like me. So for the next few months it was cherry, grape, blackberry, yada yada.

After about a year I tried unflavored liquid. It turns out that the best flavor for me was no flavor at all. Just a hint of sweet and the taste of nicotine. That's what I have been using for over 2 years.

If your base flavor is a strong one it works wonderfully, definitely worth a try.

It seems like many of you are into unflavored liquid. I've heard a few others say that a while ago. I know someone said it was because they didn't trust the ingredients, but it sounds like that isn't the case here.
So what's the draw of unflavored juice?
