Thanks Kia, I just wanted to try the X2 b/c I saw where people had said that the taste was so much better with the tanks than the cartos and I like the thought of not having to recharge my batteries so much. Maybe I vape too much,I don't know.
The last few days my Cowboy flavor hasn't tasted the same to me, it tastes weaker for some reason. Have you ever had that experience?

I suspect the X2 will be pleasing regardless. But, most people seem to prefer the Clearomizers and a more "pure" taste from the liquids, so to speak. I just happen to be one ready to keep filling my carts quickly.

If you recently quit smoking and started vaping, your taste buds are going to start waking up and flavors are going to start changing up a bit. Something you really liked before will become cursed and something that made you gag will become smooth and sweet. Some may taste stronger or weaker, and may well also be attributed to how much we vape a certain flavor. You may have to put the Cowboy down for a bit and try something new and go back to it later, or you might end up with something else entirely different sparking interest in newly reawakened senses. I have about 8 different flavors I have with me all the time, in either 6 or 12 mg, to take care of my whims at any given time. Sometimes at night I want only my crisp, marathon vapable, 0 nic Winter Vanilla, other times I want SI 555 or Desert Joe, and I don't like anything close to what was supposed to be the "equivalent" of what I smoked in tobacco cigarettes.

And, there is also the possibility that you got a hold of a batch that wasn't up to the usual par for the flavor. Happens sometimes.

By the way, does anyone else taste the grapefruit flavor in Desert Joe?

What Kia said +100, except for grapefruit in DJ. I think your taste buds are kickin up again Kia lol. I've been at this for a while now and still sometimes my all day starts tasting off. I try a few more until I find one I like, usually one I wouldn't have thought of, then in a few days screw the carto I took off back on and it tastes wonderful. No explanation for it but it does happen. More so in the beginning but it still happens even after a long time.

Raynes, I agree with what both Kia and Wuzznt Me said. Another thing I find is that your liquids can taste different according to what you're eating or drinking. Last night I snacked on some dried apricots and the flavor I was vaping began tasting just like licorice! That was kinda strange. lol This morning with coffee it tasted "normal" again.

Once again, SI has the best customer service in the business. I accidentally ordered the blue 900 x2 last night when I wanted the 1300. Sent them an email and low and behold, they sent me an email this morning saying its all switched and already shipped. That's amazing. Not only did I get the one I wanted without a hassle, but it was already shipped by 10:00am

YAHOO my order came !!! I can't taste the Desert Joe either:( guess there is something in its mix similar to the Cowboy b/c I'm getting the same taste. I CAN taste the Cappucino and it has a cinnamon undertone to me its very nice. I'll try DJ again in a few days.
Thank you all for all your wonderful advice!!!

How many different flavors should I keep on hand when this happens? One more question-someone posted somewhere that citrus flavors,clove and cinnamon flavors can mess up cartos or were they talking about tanks? They said if you decide to use these they need to be used with the stuff bought from that supplier for they need to be in special containers.

Seems like I'm getting to be the spokesperson for this subject. :unsure:

You can literally put any e-juice in a cartomizer. What you heard warnings about were the clearomizers and tanks. Most of those are made out of polycarbonate plastic (including SI's X2 clearos), and when in contact with certain juices they have been know to crack or literally melt down. It is a chemical reaction between juice and plastic. There is a thread here that covers the topic and has a link to a thread with a growing list of juices that you should watch out for if you use polycarbonate plastic.

Should you desire to try a juice on that list, put it in a blank cartomizer, or one of the newer clearomizers/tanks made of polyproylene (syringe tubing) or delrin (both will be frosty as opposed to being clear), or pyrex glass.

I really like my X2 650. Thinking I might get spare, wishing I had a nice little efficient case for 2 and a charger. Its my PV of choice at home but too big for the road. Maybe there will be a future design that is slightly thinner and a little longer. I wish my little batts would hit like this. I am probably the minority but I prefer the cartos on it. I really just do not like the clearos - it leaves a post vape film in my mouth and does not hit as hard to me but to all his own.

I, too, prefer the cartos.

It may be down the road a bit, but I believe there was mention by Imagine a while back that they are working on a case, and a starter kit too, for the X2's.

Well, in the beginning, I kept some 555 and watermelon on hand at all times, plus a pack of Desert Joe. I didn't care for the Country (renamed from Cowboy). Now, I keep all three of these on hand, in liquid and carto form, and I've been experimenting with liquids from ECBlend E-Liquids. I found out that I actually prefer flavors like pear, peach cantaloupe, dragon fruit, etc. Watermelon liquids I find are very mild in flavor, so I keep trying to pep them up a bit. Go figure. I still like my 555 and Desert Joe, but I've decided to play a little with the ECBlend 555 tobacco by adding anise and some vanilla, for a slightly nutty licorice flavor. We'll see how it turns out, as I just ordered it. I also ordered the Espresso Shot with Vanilla in big bottles, because I tried a sample of it and vaped the sample dry in one day, I liked it so well. I also liked the cola with lemon flavor I tried, so I have big bottles of it, too. Oddly, I did not like Root Beer. I liked the 100% organic 100% VG butterscotch, but it's rather thick liquid. I did not like the regular butterscotch with extra flavoring, it tasted like pepper.

So, tastes are different for everyone and you'll have to find what you like best with a little experimenting as you go.
