I'm just not as into it as I was when I started. I've only been vaping since october, but everything's becoming meh to me anymore.

Sure I could get a shiny new mech, or even another vv/vw to tinker with. Then I'd end up with buyers remorse, or just get bored with it and throw it in a drawer. I've already tried sub ohm on a dripper, been all over the board with the ohms in my russian. The juice just doesn't taste the same, the vape just isn't as satisfying.

I'll get over it, I'm sure. Just in a vaping funk I guess. Self loathing post is over now, lol.

I've hit that wall too. I was at the local B&M and had a hell of a time picking out a juice because nothing really jumped out at me. Times like that I go back to something menthol or minty. Or like in this case I'm gonna drill out my Igo-L and try cotton wicks. Stuff to change it up and doesn't cost a lot. It's an ebb and flow and eventually you'll get out of it.

Yeah. You could be right. I haven't had a good tobacco juice in quite a while. Probably a few months I'd imagine. Maybe I will treat myself Zoo, I've always wanted to try bobas bounty.

Well Hula, I'm kinda all over the place with my liquids, lol. I'm currently on a castle long kick right now, but I'm all over the board flavor wise.

I was a smoker and a smokeless tobacco user and I'm more worried about going back to dipping than smoking.

Oh gosh, the dreaded vaping wall, how dreadful. Well if I may suggest, you might want to look into making your own juice. I went through a frustrating time buying juices at the local B&M's and never being satisfied with what I got from them, and it was really much too expensive. I was a heavy smoker and so I became a chain vaper, and for that I needed an all day juice, which I didn't find until I started making my own.

It was also a great deal cheaper. For me buying juice was as expensive as smoking was, I had only changed the middleman. Now I can make 100 ml of juice for a tiny fraction of what I was paying for it, and it's made for what I'm vaping it in. Juices you buy from someone else are not.

I completely understand what you're going through. It's very exciting an interesting at first finding new mods, toppers, coil builds etc. But then you just want the thing to work. I think grabbing a new liquid is the simplest idea for a resolution. More than once that's been what helped me when vaping seems dull. DIY can certainly help but it can also be frustrating at times. Good luck

Diy sounds like a good path to try. I have a buddy that does it, but he has no idea how to wrap coils. He just uses cigalike cartos when he's testing flavors. Maybe I'll trade my knowledge of dripper builds for his diy knowledge. Save us both a lot of money in the long run, lol.

I'll get back to loving vaping again, I'm sure.

Another vote for DIY. I have been doing for a few weeks and really enjoy it! Its fun to try new flavors and see what happens. My wife will stop by the counter and look at some of the flavors i have and say, "that's sounds like it would be good together." No more having to run to the B&M to try different juices, just mix up a 5ml batch at home and give it a try.

I have, so far, come up with two that I am currently using as my ADV, and three or four that I use occasionally just to break it up. Also mixing juices for the neighbors...

I got into extracting tobaccos... custom designing a flavor that you cant find in a store is fun... got a cherry cavendish and a chocolate cherry cavendish that is just nummy.... havent found any other juice that compares. ( altho Heathers makes some really tasty stuff I cant replicate... wish I could :) )

I think that is a pretty normal phase. I just try mixing a new flavor if that happens to me. Or even mixing some of the pre-made juices and creating a new one. You can also add a drop of Everclear to the atomizer with your favorite juice and it gives it a pick me up. Koolada is something you can add to make it cool and not minty. Lots of things you can do to help you get over the slump. Good luck to ya. :)
