I can't stop ordering juice! Everytime I place an order, I think to myself "Okay, now I'm set for a while." And then I end up ordering more a few days later. :oops: At this rate, I think stopping smoking may just make me go broke.:laugh:

I have been happy with most of them so far, but I have been surprised by my preferences. I thought at first that I wanted something that would replicate smoking a little closer, I finally found some that taste smoky to me, and I just can't vape them. I can't believe how much my tastes have changed in such a short time!

I do hope that soon I find the right juice for me though.

I'm in the same boat as you are. My very first juices were the "cheap Chinese" ones, and I was content knowing that they'd do the job. Then I read about the "better quality" ones from closer to home. Then it was not just a matter of what would "work", but what tasted good, and would give me a good TH through my most challenging times.

I find that I'm having to make my own personal mix (though even that will fluctuate from day to day now). It's good that you have an assortment, because they will allow you to find what works for you. I really am starting to understand the concept now of "which one is your all day vape". I think I'm almost to that point, but once I taste a couple more I think I'll get there.

For what it's worth, as a beginner, I've found that a hint of menthol, and some of tobacco or coffee flavor is good.

I've been feeling a bit guilty about my slightly excessive juice choices, too, but if you set up one of those "signature tickers" that remind you of how much you're NOT spending on cigarettes, you might be placated somewhat, like I am.

BTW I've read on ECF more than once that new vapers will quickly "get over" wanting that "exactly like cigarette" taste, so you are certainly not alone. I'm past it, myself. It's all a part of the transition. :laugh:

OK you veterans, you can all roll your eyes now, in boredom of the obvious. :facepalm:

No :rolleyes: here. Our addiction is a complex one to say the least. Once our taste buds return to normal, everything changes. For instance I rarely use salt any more, or very little when I do. This has nothing to do with vaping however.

One thing I did notice is, a juice that tasted yuck, may be great a month from now. Many juices that are not from China are fresher and a good portion of those are made to order. The juice has not steeped yet. BWB is a prime example of this where his Honey Flue is pale out of the gate and doesn't reach full maturity until 4-6 weeks down the road. I believe this to be true for the majority of juices that are not Chinese.

Now many do not believe in steeping their liquids. I am cool with that. I drink no wine before its time.

As long as you're enjoying them it's all good, I spent a lot of money trying to find something I enjoyed, and ended up back at the first two I got when I started vaping :p

edit: Pretty much anyway, I have found a few good ones, but I've spent hundreds on ones that have been garbage

Definately time to start mixing your own. I keep over 50 flavors on hand now for me and my wife and friends. Check out USA Made Vapor Renu for just absolutely insanely cheap prices. Jason sells me the Nicotine also at the cheapest price on the planet. If you do the math, you could mix your own for a year for the price your paying a month from vendors.

I was in the same boat for my first 4 months of vaping. Now i've calmed down and only order maybe once or twice a month. Hopefully you'll find what works for you soon. For me it was after the novelty of vaping wore off a bit that i started saving money.

Bingo! Give this man a prize :thumbs:

If I recall correctly VR does not ship to Canada :(

Whatever you do, do not start looking at mods. They too are addictive, beautiful, wonderful, got to try this one, got to have that one, wait there are ten older versions of this I want to have all of them.

Juice addiction will back down some once you have tried a ton. Mod addiction, I don't think there is a burn out rate or a cure. :p

Spent over $400 in 3 weeks. I "should" have enough juice and supplies to last me a while...

Me too. But.... I have 13 different flavored juices here and another 11 on the way, plus a half dozen flavors coming from Happy Vaper, and yet I am still thinking about ordering more. Juicy clear added a couple new flavors since I ordered yesterday, and the Fury 4 Play sounds super fantastic to me. And I'm almost out of the tobacco that I got from Cdnvapor, which has been my fave so far. My first puff of that was like "Oh yeah, now THAT is what I've been missing."

I am having fun with this though, and enjoying trying all these flavors. I discovered (purely through being too lazy to switch to a clean tank) that I really enjoy a blend of tobacco and root beer. :D

I also discovered that I was unfair to the flavors that I said were smoky and that I couldn't stand them. They actually aren't bad, and they don't taste like burning. My atomizer isn't wicking well and I just didn't know until I put a familiar flavor in there (pineapple) and it had the same burning taste. Now that I have realized that I need to do a primer puff before I hit the button (a little too often for my liking :( ) the taste of everything is so much nicer.

hotone, I haven't found my all day vape either, but I'm thinking that maybe I won't until my taste buds stabilize a bit more. I find that things taste different to me every day.

5vz, I have made a point of NOT looking at mods for just that reason. :D

I've found I like to change flavours a lot. I can't find one that I like to stick with either. allready have my shopping cart loaded up with more flavours... and I find I like mixing the flavours. the usa mix I don't much like by itself. but 50/50 with kahlua it's good. and I don't mugh like vg. it's too thick for the tank and I have to power puff to get it to not have that burning taste (that's what I thought originally was bad tasting juice). now I order straight pg stuff and just add about 5-10% vg for vapor and it wicks so much better. sitting with 10 flavours now to swap around and it's not enough for me.. that banana creme pie sounds tasty... though like someone here said, chocolate seems to fix everything

Don't think you will ever stop ordering flavors. There is always something new to try!
