...should I avoid? I got some blueberry cartos today, and I think I'm going to rinse them all out and refill with something else. They taste like I'm vaping blueberry perfume lol. I've seen some reviews here that say the raspberry is similar to the blueberry. Is that true?

Any recs for me? I love the coffee, pear, vanilla, and doc pepper so far, but I'd like to try some other flavors as long as they aren't similar to the blueberry. ;) I'm in the process of ordering now, so any quick recs would be much appreciated! :)

To be honest, if you don't like the blueberry, you probably won't like the raspberry. I ordered both the last time around, and while it took a bit of time, the blueberry really grew on me. Raspberry, not so much, but I have to admit, it is a nice evening vape. It is perfumy, though, IMO.

Watermelon is very mild, and isn't perfumy to me at all.

It's tough for me, since I came into V4L a diehard tobacco flavor lover, but am going to expand my horizons, come hell or high water.

One last thing, your tastebuds are going to be rejuvenated from quitting the analogs. If you put something aside, go back to it later, and you might be suprised. Thats how I felt about the blueberry.

:D

Hmm I have to say try the 555, I love that one. RedCow was good too and I have an order of liquid coming but it may seem perfumey to some (the drink itself does to me) A friend of mine said Cola is a very nice vape, I like Grape from another vendor not sure what it's like from V4L though. Ohhhh I bet Peach Cobbler is GREAT!

Thanks! The reason I'm trying to be careful about the flavors (instead of continuing to vape them even if I don't like them) is because I have a tendency to associate the taste of one thing with something else, even if they aren't the same. I vaped the blueberry for a good hour before I just couldn't take it anymore, and then I screwed on a coffee. It took me about 20 minutes of unenjoyable vaping on the coffee before I felt that I couldn't taste that blueberry anymore. I don't want to ruin myself for other flavors. Not sure how to explain it. Have I mentioned that I'm neurotic about these things? :p

In that case, last hour or so of the evening before you brush your teeth and go to bed, test the new flavour(s) then. then you can give them a decent shot, and if they still don't work out, you're back to something good in the morning.

While everyone's taste is different, considering how you feel about the blueberry, I would not recommend the raspberry as I have the same 'perfumey' taste with that as well. Which is really too bad because I bought a whole crap load of carts! Okay, I admit I did a stupid thing by ordering so much of a flavor I hadn't personally tried but the reviews made it sound so great and I love the peach and grape so thought ... go for it! Lesson to be learned here, folks. Never ever buy large quanities of an unknown flavor no matter how much others may rave about it. I'm sure nobody would do that except me!:( Don't know what I'm going to do about them now ... to me they taste the way rose water smells if that makes any sense. Guess I'll be rinsing out a LOT of cartos!! Another good example of how everyone is different. I would recommend grape if you are looking for fruity flavors or 555 for what is (to me) a real smooth vape. Good luck.

I found that with the fruits, I kind of have to be in the mood for it - definately not an all day vape for me. Cappuccino, Coffee, Vanilla, Coconut, and Chocolate tend to be the ones I can vape all day every day!

The peach cobbler is seriously growing on me, I like it better then the regular peach. I think I could vape the 18 all day easily, and the 8 is perfect for a nightime vape.

Banana was great too, I am really hoping that Steve gets some banana cartos soon! Oh, and my chocolate! I am out!!!

You should prob give the French Pipe a try and if it's not *bold* enough for you, cappuccino will be.
Pineapple is a win, always..but then i love pineapple. Very "pineappley" didn't really detect any perfume. The raspberry is indeed similar to the blueberry. I wouldn't have described either as "perfumy" but then I've yet to discover a "perfumy" flavor...then again, I didn't try that "rose" flavor when i was seeing it everywhere either

Well...I think either my sense of taste is changing or the blueberry cartos left too strong of an impression on me, because right now every flavor I've got here tastes different and a strange sort of sweet --like it leaves an aftertaste or something. And it's not just V4L cartos, either. I put some NHaler juice in an empty carto and it tastes just as weird. Did anyone else have this happen and is it just something that will go away in time? I need some reassurance. :(
