Is it me?...

So should I expect more flavor than I am getting from the liquids? 10% flavor the rest just vapor? Am I doing something wrong?? When you point to Bananas Foster Coffee, can you taste the spices, the banana, the camel? or is it just a hint of the flavor?

I don't know if this is an issue with my expectations, liquid, or I'm just doing it wrong. I know flavor is subjective, but so far I have not gotten a clear answer to my question. If you were to compare "Chocolate" liquid to say, eating a tootsie roll or a chocolate bar, how much of *that* flavor are YOU getting when you vape? For me, I would describe it as 5-10% (MAYBE). Maybe *just* enough to tell the flavor is chocolate and not coffee (or banana), but not enough to tell the difference between say "hot chocolate" and "chocolate cake". Does everyone else agree? or as I said...is it just me?

When I vape nhaler or mypvshop's Liberty liquid peach flavors, it tastes like anything else peach flavored - candy, sorbet, etc. The flavor is 80% and then 20% tasting the PG.

Different brands are blander than others. Nhalers HV french vanilla coffee is just as flavorful as DIYflavorshacks double strength, IMO. However, mtpvshop's generic cappuccino doesn't even taste like coffee to me. So I suggest trying the different brands recommended.

I smoked marboro ultra-light cigarettes and a pipe, so a tobacco flavor would be nice to have handy. I like the EcoPure "Rich" and RY4 flavors I got from Cignot, but I am just finding them to be VERY VERY weak.
I am also open to the "candy" flavors like pina colada, chocolate, coffee, etc. Really just looking for something with enough flavor that it would be satisfying. Think of it like a Marlboro Red smoker buming a Marlboro ultra-light, yea your smoking...but you wont be satisfied. I feel that way (even being an ultra-light smoker) I am just not getting the flavor I was expecting - plenty of vapor, just no flavor. I hope I'm making sense.

I also found that RY4 and 555 are very mild with almost indistinguishable flavor. A couple of tobacco flavors that I found with good throat hit were Nhaler's Drewbacco 2 24mg nic and Madvapes USA Mix 24mg which is pretty inexpensive.

Just got in my TastyVapor doublers today, Atomic Fireball and Pina Colada. *THIS* is more like it. I can actually taste the flavor and it lasts. Huge fan of the Atomic Fireball! Thanks for pointing me to some good e-liquid suppliers. I now have the confidence to spend a bit more money to try some other flavors - now that I know I SHOULD be able to really enjoy the flavor.
