I love a lot of flavor but most of the "in your face flavors" get old quickly.
I recently got Sarsaparilla by Goodlife. Its quite strong, unfortunately not to my liking. It has a cola base with some sort of spice that reminds me of the way Pinesol smells.
It got me thinking, over the years I've come across some flavors that really pack a punch. Some are obvious and we're all familiar with them but I'm curious to see ones others may have tried that have alluded me.

Sarsaparilla by Goodlife (BTW, Lydia by Dragonborn is much better)
Black Liquorice
Cinnamon (especially hot)
Citrus
Menthol
Vampires Blood by VapingCloud9 (heavy on strawberry, not so much on cream)

Some of these I like, others not so much.

I vape Black Licorice, Absinthe, Citrus, Menthol and Mints regularly. But I also only vape DIY, it lets me adjust the flavor strength to my exact liking, much cheaper and easy....:)

I usually refill my tanks with the same flavor so cleaning out the old flavor is not a problem. They are also re-buildable coils so no leftover flavors there. A bit of effort in the beginning, learning how-to pays off in the long run.

I realize some will read this and be ready to burn the heretic.

I have both NT's GCD and CLS and I think they are Both too strong to be ADVs. I'll do a tank now and then but they're both too much
for all the time. I could easily do with a 30% Decrease in their flavor strength.

And, I am Usually the one complaining about Not Strong Enough flavors...

CLS isn't strong enough for me. I have to strain to taste it. But GCD is tastable. I like it but cinnamon makes me cough.

I have a strong mint flavor in one of my tanks.I use it to reset my senses when I develop vape tongue and can't taste anything. it only take a couple of hits before I can taste my other flavors again.a very small amount of hot cinnamon does add an interesting kick to some flavors but I think I have been tobacco free long enough that I do not need strong flavors for an enjoyable vape.

I agree. Cinnamon was great for when I first stop smoking.
The heavy flavor and throat hit made switching much easier.
Today I like something big on flavor, but a little more complex or layered.

I currently prefer milder flavors and usually only use 5% flavor total but find I still get tired of flavors after a while so my ADV changes every 2 or 3 weeks.

Black Flag Fallen by 5P. I tried this at my local B&M and everything after that tasted like it. I did not like it a bit and it was very strong. I had to rewick and wash my atty to get the taste out.

I do like menthol mixes on occasion. When mixing my own juices, I have learned a little goes a long way.

At a local B&M they do this "24 menthol challenge".
They wick up your RDA with some really strong menthol @ 24mg nic. The idea is to power hit the mod and see how much you can take.
I hate menthol.... One of the worst experiences of my vaping life.
I got cold sweats, the guy next to me went outside and puked. Good times. :headbang:
