I'm about to loose it - I WANT A F'ING CIGARETTE!!!!

[Jim Bob]

I hope you get your ___________________________ and all you're looking for

Copper Creek House Blend is pretty awesome to me as well! As for the spending I look at the $$$$ saved "down the road" in future medical bills (and God forbid Hospice care), clothing no longer burned to be replaced , car upholstery, there is a Long list of things we can count toward our new vaping experience

I am so glad you've found some things that you enjoy, the journey is not always easy but IS worth it IMO

Good luck with the Ipro !!!

I've been vaping on my new Provari for over a week now and lovin it. I'm not saying Provari is where its at, but vv is.
I also have been pouring through the countless samples from different venders. I also noticed the flavors diminishing after a while. So I started sampling 2-3 different juices at the same time, switching cartos at the time of refill. I think your taste buds get used to the flavors in a short time. So far menthol or some kind of mint is the only vape that doesn't loose its flavor over time.
Heres a pic of the cartos attached to the juices.

Mookie,pm me if you are interested in trying the ECOPure Rich,i'd be happy to send you a ml or so to sample if you are interested

I was a PAD Marb Red girl for 30 years. Tried to quit dozens of times without success. Shockingly I tried an e-cig three month ago and gave up analogs in just a couple of days. I was (and still am) completely amazed.

I went through the wanting to replicate my Marb's then started getting into many different flavors. Generally a few times a day I get a strong craving for an analog but I vape and it goes away. The problem is I still haven't found anything really satisfying. It's JUST enough to keep me from going back but I still haven't found an all day vape or anything really satisfying. I have tried probably 50 juices from at least 8 different vendors. I have juices on their way from three more vendors. Most of them highly recommended and reviewed constantly on ECF. I have yet to find one I want to order again.

I also have several different vendors of 808's, an Echo, and cartos from 6 vendors.

One day a juice will taste great then the next day it will taste awful. Sometimes it will only be an hour between love and hate. It's been three months! My taste buds should be better by now. I am getting so tired of holding on and trying to find something satisfying. And the answers of "steep it for 6 months" - PLEASE - I'm still making it hour by hour NOT months by months!!!

I'm sorry but I just need to vent. I am so proud that I have lasted so long but the string is so tenuous and sometimes (OFTEN) feels like it will snap any second!!! Why doesn't anything taste good to me. Why do so many people love so many juices when I can't find even one that I want to reorder?

I know if I just hold on this terrible feeling will go away in a while. But it just keeps coming back and I feel like I'm going to snap, fall apart, cry a river, break everything in the house, eat a dozen donuts, scream at the top of my lungs or just give in and go buy a pack of Marb's. Why won't this go away? Will it ever go away? Will I ever find a juice satisfying enough that it isn't a daily battle?????

Mookie, I feel your pain, I'm going on 3yrs of vaping an still rotate through 6-10 different flavors a day and have gone through just about every jucie to be had, no one does it for me only rotating through a bunch, it would be so much easier if there was only one juice that did it for some of us

There is a definite difference between the flavor in a carto and by dripping. I love cartos for the convenience but, at home, I still do a lot of dripping. (I'm trying tanks now to see if that is a tastier carto experience.)

You don't eat the same food all day, every day. There's no reason to vape the same flavor. If your taste buds get bored, put that flavor away and break out one that you got sick of in the past. It will probably taste new again.

And don't worry too much about the cost. The learning curve is expensive but once you find equipment you like the cost drops sharply.

Yep. Now that I am in stabilized mode I only re-up juices, cartos and the occasional batt when it goes dead now. WAY WAY cheaper than smoking.

Mookie,

Like all the other folks have said, your experiences are not alone. I never was a real 'brand name' smoker and switched brands many times. I quit for a while and used chew exclusively but started up again with the mini cigars (Santa Fe's) cause they were cheap. I understand about needing harsh and the thing I really missed was that first thing in the morning chest hit when inhaling. I have spent several hundred dollars looking for that perfect tobacco vape. I'll find a flavor I really like then all of a sudden I can't wait for my tank to be empty so I can switch. I have also found quite a bit of difference in taste from a Carto/tank setup and the various forms of CE2's. Some juices I love in one I cant stand in the other. I am a big fan of the HALO brand of juices. They are the ones I always come back to. I also had real good luck with FREEDOMSMOKEUSA's purecig and Pall Mall. I ordered both at 30mg. With CE2's they give me that occasional 'HIT" that I need if I use a CE2 with them. In carto's with tanks I don't care for them near as much. With CE2's they are the closest tast to a real analog that I myself have found. Another juice I would recommend is Fire Water from maximumvapors. I haven't been real big on the fruity/candy/danish muffin kinda tastes but Fire Water has converted me. It is a menthol/cinnamon/mild tobacco vape that I can't get enough of. Also I have found that the VV is also the way to go. I didn't realize what I was missing.
Sorry to ramble, just relaying some of my experiences.

I vape WTA pretty much exclusively (only way I'll get off those dirty analogs) and found that the WTA liquids provided more TH and nic-hit than WTA-less liquids. @_@;;

Can you recommend some WTA vendors please?

 

[Mookie]

I am loving the CC House Blend! Especially with my vv mod and tank!

Thanks again everyone for all your help!

 

[Mookie]

Mookie,pm me if you are interested in trying the ECOPure Rich,i'd be happy to send you a ml or so to sample if you are interested

Ordered - thank you and that was very kind to offer sending me a sample!

 

[sandybeach]

It took me FOREVER to find juices I like. I like Copper Creek House Blend, too. One vendor I found that has a lot of juices I like is Nite Lite Vapors. And the good thing is that a 10 ml bottle is only $3.50, so if you don't like it, it's no big deal. House Blend is similar to Nite Lite's Bounty Hunter. And Nite Lite's new Twilite, tastes like an analog cigarette! Not sweet; I really like it. This is what I would suggest you try from Nite Lite Vapor:

Line Rider
Bounty Hunter
Renegade
NLV Gold
Twilite

Better yet, a 30ml bottle is only $10!

Mookie, I am glad to see you are settling into vaping, and finding things you like. In addition to the NLV juices Sandy recommended, I think you might also like their Capparillo Cafe Latte. It is a very complex coffee vape with a hint of cinnamon and an attention-getting throat hit.

I've looked at them but am concerned about the quality of their products. Can't find many reviews. All reviews are by the owner or around 4 other people. I've also noted controversy regarding this and another vendor.

 

[Tommyt2610]

Love this thread. I am on day 60 and have the same concerns. CAN NOT FIND THE FLAVOR!!!!!! I have tried everything. After the first week could no longer stand the real cig flavor moved to the fruit's bad after taste Tried all the recommened sites for these BAD BAD BAD. Tried the sweets, Again tried the most reccomened sites for these TOO SWEET. Now back to chasing the tobaccos. Velvet Vapes Wild West OK, BWB Casablanca Blend OK, Vermillion River OK, Halo Tribeca just OK. These are my four that I have found I can deal with. Not one....... knocks me off my feet. Come on Vendors give me somthing......TRY AND KNOCK ME OFF MY FEET PLEASE.

Point number two I would like to make is I do not think I need a different unit or different voltage to make a juice taste better. I use a Joye eGo with Boge 2.0. Should be good enough. Used to walk into 7-11 but a pack of xyz cigs open light and smoke. Same taste every time. Now with this xyz juice I have to use 4.476 volt with this J tank system but if you want this zyx juice to taste good you have to vape it at 3.7 with a boge 2.0 only on a full moon night and so on. Come on I am trying to stay off the the nastys not become a chemist or electronic tech.

I do beleive this will work but there has to a better way...........MAYBE???????

I've read and heard many more than 4 reviews of Aroma WTA. Being in Phoenix, I did visit their lab and have zero questions on the quality of their WTA and vape it daily. The controversy basically stems from a smaller supplier, (who's not on ECF), taking pot-shots at Aroma as a definitive part of his marketing campaign. I've never seen such actions from any other e-cig supplier.

 

[Mookie]

@Tommy - I feel your pain. It can be overwhelming and frustrating. I have noticed there really is a difference in the juice taste when using different voltages. Some taste better on lower and some taste better on higher voltages. It can be a royal PITA figuring out what you like - not to mention a lot of time and money. Sometimes I even vape something that tastes great and go back to it later the same day and can't stand it! We are both still very new to this and our taste buds will take a long time to adjust. I am hoping in time my taste buds will heal and more juices will be enjoyable. Just hang in there! Every day you get by without a cig is one day closer to better health and also finding what works for you. I am constantly trying new things and hoping something will eventually blow me away but it never does. I am finding it best to lower my expectations and be happy that I have found a few things that give me enough satisfaction to keep me off of cigs. I just ordered some organic and natural juices to see if I prefer them.


@Ceegary - I certainly didn't mean to stir up any controversy or offend anyone. I am very interested in trying WTA and it's good to know you have visited Aroma's lab and believe they have good quality juice. It would be nice to see more reviews just because I'm a little hesitant about using WTA. I'm going to check out their selection again and probably order a couple samples. Thanks for the feedback.

 

[hittman]

I tried WTA the first time before it was available to the public and have been using it from Aroma for a while now. I believe it to be of good quality. That being said, if you are doing ok with regular liquids then I wouldn't use it. If you can't get the satisfied feeling you need then maybe try it. The feel of the vapor in the mouth and lungs is probably as close to the feel of a cigarette as you're going to get without burning tobacco. I prefer the unflavored but he has come out with some flavored ones that are pretty good too.

 

[Ceegary]

Taste is individual and it seems even more so with vaping. When I first started vaping and peeps told me that my taste buds need to thaw out to taste the juices properly, I thought was bull. When I read posts about different voltage and different resistance I thought that was more bull. My first month I tried about 100 flavors, not many are in my drawer now. I can tell you that my taste buds have improved, the same juices I used to get off cigs do taste differently today. I basically vape in two configs: true 3.7V, (like coming off the charger at 4.1 or higher) and 5v regulated. I use LR with the 3.7 and HR with 5. When I like a juice but the flavor seems to wash out at 5, then it goes into the 3.7 bin.

I prefer Ikenvape atties for dripping and Boge cartos for carto-tanks that I make myself out of free syringes. I prefer bacco type vapes, very rarely bakery, candy or fruit and occasionally some coffee. But that's me.

Hard to tell what you really like because you only mention ones that are just OK. Sometimes you'll find a different flavor from one of the suppliers that you think are ok to be really good. At least they're in the ballpark. Some of the juices I love are not the main ones that most people love. Example: Ave faves are Havana Gold, Blend 4 and Flue-cured, not Bobas Bounty (ok) or Gorilla Juice (yech!) I prefer BWB Backo the most of Don's flavors but do like some others too. Love IKV's RY4 as well as some other RY4s.

I advise you to just keep going and when you find something you love, check the threads on others that liked it and see what else they dig. I've tried hundreds but do have about 15 to 20 that I love!

I gave up on tobacco flavors, I tend to stick to the least sweet fruity vapes I can find.
