I'm a sweet and bakery vaper too, and Sticky Bun from mount baker Vapor is amazing. The first day or two, you can mostly taste the syrup - it's not bad, just not very complex. Give it a week, though, and the pastry flavor comes through to the point where I have to remind myself there's nothing there to chew. I've had several people ask me if there are sticky buns in the oven when I'm vaping it.

If you mix some Sticky Bun with some MBV Pumpkin Spice, you'll get a perfect piece of pumpkin pie, crust and all.

I get both with 2 shots, 65/35.

Me too!!!! I'm trying to keep a vaping budget so I spend much less than cigarettes. My last order didn't go well and hate the majority of the juice I ordered.

So vaping stuff I mildly like or going back to stuff that has been steeping for months before it goes bad to get my nic fix. Almost pulled the trigger on an order the other day, but didn't. Not sure how many more days I can go though lol.

I feel your pain trying to find flavors, you're not alone! I have several ADV and I'm thankful I have some I do love. But if I vape the same stuff over and over, they lose that WOW factor. I switch between 5-6 flavors a day and have over 10 tanks loaded at any given day.

I love BIG flavor, not light, barely there. Like if it says it has blueberry, vanilla and cinnamon, i prefer the blueberry to smack me in the face with a hint of the other flavors. I feel the other two are like "seasonings" and blueberry should be a star.

I read reviews and flavor descriptions but the problem is taste is so subjective that everyone likes/tastes diff things. I also like complex flavors...like 3-5 flavors in one juice. Also, I find I'm not into just one vendor, rather maybe a juice here and there from many vendors. I wish I could love one vendors complete line up, but haven't found that yet.

My ADVs- Halo Voodoo- love it and never tire of it, Halo Malibu, Prime (for nic fits), AVEs Gorilla Juice, Ahl Mango Lassi & Blueberry Vanilla Cake, GoodLife Deadly Sin (strong flavor, very sweet) and I have right now 8-9 more Ahl steeping (hate that they take way too long) and 6 Vapor Chef to try.

I'm also going to try Plume Room, HHV and Aiv. Not sure if you checked this thread, but lots of info.

Good luck and if you find something yummy...keeps us informed.

I have a pretty decent list of juices I like and a few I love and use everyday. But without giving you that list may I suggest an alternative approach. When I started I bought several evods, and pro tanks to go with my ego twists. I found no juices that I really loved. I then tried my first genesis atomizer (Richman Hybrid) and suddenly the virgin vapors banana coconut I barely liked was really good. I bought a few cheap genesis atty's and a few clone mods and found several more juices I really liked. I put some back into my pro tanks for ease of outside use and found I did not really like these flavors at all in a pro tank. So I really stuck to only genesis atomizers and was really content. Now I have moved to Kayfuns and Russians and dripping and the percentage of juices I like is much higher some better in drippers than kayfuns but all better than when I was just using evods and pro tanks.
I know you said you are on a budget and moving to Kayfuns and high end mods may not be an option but there are clones of these things that can be bought really cheap. It is certainly cheaper than going back to analogs. You can also pick up very good cartomizers and for less than $2.00 and really cheap RDA's the IGO-w can be bought for about $9.00. If you do like the performance of cartomizers you can get tanks for them pretty cheap as well.
Finally if this route is not for you there is a great thread on here where you can trade juices and I think one where people are happy to PIF flavors they do not like. Hope this helps and you find something that works for you.

I hear what u are saying Sam, I know what u mean about changing your hardware. If there is one thing I hate more than the let down of a highly anticipated juice it's an airy vape! :mad:

Maybe I should have said that I like a warm vape, I typically have a drip atty that is between 1.4 to 2 ohm. Anything higher than that and it loses its oomph to me.

To u who love the sweet like I do, I can suggest cupcake city by AIV, IT is a very good vape. I also like whipped cream from mbv, but I bought the flavoring too so I could add as needed. Their cake batter and butterscotch is the same way. All very good, just buy the flavoring instead of paying for shots :)

If u want a good cinnamon roll I can't find any better than Hoosier vapes. If u like cheesecake, highbrow is the best I have found so far,

Vanilla Cream from clouds of Vapor is the best vanilla for me, but be warned it does have the dreaded diactyl in trace amounts.

I guess I was hoping that the new vendors would be as good as some of the older ones, or that they would have learned from them. Not so, it seems ppl are still throwing flavor and nic in bottles and selling it as gold.

Well if you are already dripping then I doubt switching gear will benefit you much. I also prefer sweet bakery juices. I got the first fruit flavored juice I like today. Ahlusion Blueberry vanilla cake.... now it did just arrive Saturday and I did not steep it at all but it is really tasty and not fake flavored at all. I am using it in a chident on a BAM with a 1.5 ohm coil. It is really good I hope it stays that way.

Since right now I can't afford to spend any more money on stuff I am stuck with 11 bottles of stuff I don't really like that I have to vape to get through these cigarette cravings. (I'm on day 5 analog free)

I have an order in with sweet-vapes (thanks El) and I ordered cheesecake and waffle from highbrow. At the very least I know Bryan will make sure I get something I can vape..

Has anyone had the Cream from blueprint? It's getting rave reviews, but it's $22 and they only have one size.

Kinda noobish here, what can I get that I don't have to build coils for or drip that will give more flavor than the mini protank?
I have dripped but it's not as good for on the go vaping...
and I'm just not ready to fiddle with coil building yet
thanks!

firphly-the easiest and best flavor I have found are the iClear16s, and they last for quite a while. They cost about 5.00 And if you want, you can buy a new coil head (2-2.50)-very simple to change;simply unscrew old and screw on the new coil head.

Thanks, I think this is the same tank that will be coming with the MVP 2.0 that I just ordered (on sale)! So I guess I'll get to try it when it comes-I can't wait to try!

BTW, it's a great sale http://101vape.com/vvvw/148-innokin-itaste-mvp-v20.html

Oh wait, I guess it comes with the iclear 30

I am on the quest to find "that juice" as well. I prefer tobacco flavors and I mix in something sweet with them usually. I really like high caliber's cinnabon. However it is soooo sweet I usually add it to ry4 with just a few drops and it is great. But even that gets old. Waiting for some halo juices and big spirit, hoping its the ones.

I ordered from the vapor room due to all the good reviews. I think they are almost two weeks old, no born on date on the bottle. I broke out the banana split and can't taste a thing. I am using a spinner and vv3 with an evod. Nothing, no flavor no smell, just nothing. What a disappointment. Cross this vendor off my list. I like strong flavors, but in this case I would settle for subtle. I guess I can let them steep until after the new year and see if that helps, but it's crazy I should have to do this. What do you do when you have an ejuice that has no flavor?

Any juice u don't like u can either try to sell in the wanted ads or pif or trade them. As far as getting rid of it, I usually flush mine.

I got my order from highbrow, the cheesecake smells divine!!! I guess because it smells like cheesecake! Lol. Some cheesecake juice doesn't even come close! Seriously it can be so bad u have to sniff then look at the bottle!! Like u got the wrong bottle or something totally different.

The waffle smells like waffle, but it may have that nasty bite most waffles , but I haven't tried it yet.. They are uncapped and steeping right now. I will post when I try them. I should get my sweet vapes on Monday :) I get all kinds of goodies, cotton candy, key lime pie, custard mmmmm.

I have really started to enjoy my sweet vapes juices, but they took almost too long to "ripen". I am very fond of the vanilla custard and the strawberry shortcake, both very tasty. I am disappointed in the key lime pie, its still got a bitter bite. The pink cotton candy is ok too, just not strong.

I have a sample pack from hat trick and my vape juice steeping now. I may try some of those soon
