How long does the desire for tobacco last?

[CBB]

I am sure most new vapers want to start with tobacco flavor because that is what they know. After reading numerous threads and watching countless videos I have gleaned that most people move away from tobacco or start adding additional flavors to a tobacco flavor.

I am curious as to how long most people hang on to wanting that tobacco flavor before moving into other pure flavors and how many actually stick with tobacco flavors.

I just started last week and bought a tobacco flavor with a bit of nut because I was sort of weirded out by all the flavors. But almost immediately after I started vaping, I was desiring all the yummy flavors. I no longer crave the tobacco taste, although I stiil crave the nicotine! I'm so happy to discover vaping!

When I first started vaping, I stayed away from tobacco flavors. I was afraid it would trigger a craving. I only vaped fruit or desert flavors. In the last couple of months, I use alot of tobacco flavors from freedomsmokeusa and vaperite. I found that it doesn't trigger the desire to smoke and I really enjoy the flavors.

I can't imagine giving up my menthol tobacco. I just really love it. I do like the fruits (peach, blueberry, watermelon) for a change of pace but my all day vape is nuport. I've been vaping two months, so that may change.

My mom only vapes tobacco flavors (BWB). Two months for her also.

I've been going for 17 days and I'm happy with my watermelon jollyrancher flavor. I smoked for 16 years and I could care less to taste another cig.

It'll vary with preference. I prefer the tobacco flavors and that hasn't changed since I started vaping. I do enjoy coffee flavors also. I just can't seem to get into the fruity and/or sweet flavors.

It's only been a week for me, but I think that the tobacco flavored ones taste better than analogs and I get the nicotine craving taken care of. The last analog I tried tasted like crap. I put it out after three drags and reached for my e-cig.

I didn't even order a tobacco flavor. Banana cream or cotton candy all the way, however I suspect I miss real smokes as I had a dream last night where I had to pick vapeing or smoking. Sadly, I don't remember which one I chose.

Oh definitely! I only smoked menthol cigs, but I think some of the regular non-menthol tobacco juices are really good. I really like the BWB Virginia, Casablanca and 555. I'm about ready to order Tampa from Vapor Station for my mom. Heard great things about that juice.

I tried a couple sweet juice but can't really get into them just yet.

I tried a couple tobacco flavors, but as soon as I had one really bad tobacco flavor (won't name any names here), I moved on to other flavors and haven't looked back. The closest I get to tobacco is a RY4 now.

Swedishfish, I smoked menthol analogs for forty years. I didn't care for non-menthols too much. When I ordered my starter kit, I messed up. I got both Regular and Menthol flavored carts. The 'menthol' ones seemed weird at first and it took me about 3 days to really get used to them, but I like the regular flavored ones right off. I currently swap between the two during the coarse of the day. I especially like regular early in the morning with my coffee. After that the menthol ones seem like desert.

First 6 weeks I needed tobacco flavor and good TH. Then I started adding FreedomSmokeUSA vanillas, chocolate, cocoa and oRYental 4 (a light sweet caramel tobacco) and occasionally some fruit flavors like Peach to change up the flavor of the tobacco. I did that for about a month. I fell for the mixers and now they are what I mostly vape.

I still occasionally use BWB Casablanca - it was my first all-day vape and is a complex Turkish bkend w/ some cocoa, but now I add more cocoa to it (FSUSA Cocoa). And I do use WOWbacco all the time but it just tastes like very dark chocolate. I don't even smell tobacco in it - just strong dark chocolate. I've dropped my nic level twice (just dropped from 12mg to 6mg this weekend) and need a good strong chocolate.

First thing in the morning I mix a little BWB 555, V4L moca frappe, and a splash of baileys flavoring. Then menthol the rest of the day. Evenings peach or watermelon.

I ordered 3 tobacco and 2 non tobaccos with my kit. The 3 tobaccos found new home after the first taste. Did not taste like a cig and with this new world of vaping the sweet flaves feel clean and yummmmmmm. just my opinion mind you.

I smoked menthols so I ordered some menthol flavored carts when I placed my first order. I found that I didn't really like them. I did like the 'tobacco' flavors, but not because I thought they tasted like tobacco. They are just so nutty and smooth. I have liked almost every flavor I try except for menthol right off the bat.

I'm pretty new to vaping (about a month), and I know that many people say that they started with tobacco flavors but then moved on to the fruits and drinks and deserts, but I just can't imagine myself doing that! I might end up proving myself wrong, but if I had to place a bet, I'd bet all tobacco, all the way (well... I might try a scotch if I can find one!); but I typically don't like sweet things or fruity flavored drinks or foods anyway. I recently ordered some liquid from BMV, and they sent a free sample of lemonade juice with it - not my scene. Very nice of them to give me a freebie, but I just couldn't dig it. I smoked tobacco for 17 years, and always loved the taste, but even more I loved the smell of a freshly opened pack of smokes... Which is now a flavor that I can get with vaping! Vaping is so much better than smoking!!

I smoked for 44 years and started vapeing with no intention of quieting smoking and just noticed one day that I hadn't had a cigarette. Don't throw your cigarettes away... If you want one smoke it. You will eventually forget you're an analog smoker.
Good luck!

I wanted to like the fruity ones, but kept preferring the tobacco based flavors.
The nutty, licorice-y, chocolatey tobaccos are nice. I think I desire the bite of a regular cig.
But in no way does that increase my desire for an analog.

 

[CBB]

Thanks a lot for your input guys.

I have always loved the smell of a freshly opened pack of smokes and I like the flavor of smoking tobacco. I figured I would vape tobacco too maybe adding some other flavors to it but mainly I want tobacco... at least for now. My PV should be here by the end of the week and I can't wait to stop or at least slow my copious intake of carbon monoxide and various other chemicals that have been making me so miserable for the past 24 years.

I have been using ecigs for about 3 weeks now and I started with the mixed nuts flavor and I love it. I am going to start buying new flavors and I have heard of people mixing flavors as well! Seems like you can just make your own custom flavor if you want to
