Juice all tastes the same...

[Mozaki]

Taste isn't the word. I don't taste anything at all.. Smell.

I haven't found any juices that I love yet. I just have 1 from vaporking and 4 from vaporite.
They all seem very mild. They all smell basically the same to me with a hint of different scent on top and I can barely distinguish the coffee from the "house extracted tobacco." The smells are also very fakey. I have one called chocolate mint that just isn't much like the smell of chocolate or mint.

I can smell them much better when filling the cartridge or dripping.. when I actually vape though, I don't get much scent.

Is this a matter of expectation and the flavors just don't make that big of a difference? Am I expecting the chocolate to smell like actual chocolate and that just isn't realistic?
Ive tried them from cartridges and drip tips and neither give me the strong scent/taste I was hoping for.

Any recommendations on juice that has more oomph?

If you have just quit smoking cigarettes it sometimes takes a while to get your true sense of taste and smell back.
There are juice vendors that will add more flavor to your juice upon request.When I first started the only vape I could taste was menthol.The tobacco and cola flavor were muted. It's been 3 weeks since my last real smoke and the subtle differences in different flavors of tobacco are amazing.Give it time or go to the vendors board and check to see who will add more flavoring to your mix.You will only need extra for a little while.
Good Luck

Try exhaling thru your nose, or french inhaling, into your mouth, let it drift out and re-inhale thru your nose. Depending on how long you've been off analogs it can also be a case of time until your taste buds heal, it can take a while if you were a long term smoker.

It's unrealistic.....
It's not chocolate so it's not going to smell like chocolate. Chocolate flavor is extremely complex; trying to replicate chocolate in world of vaping is very difficult. I've tried over 20 and only found a few that work for the chocoholic in me. But those few are worth the effort.

You could also give the flavor doublers from tasty vapors (others may carry them just don't know off the top of my head) a shot, so long as you don't mind getting a little into alchemy.

just a thought... did you blow out your atomizer before use???

 

[Mozaki]

@pants I guess my tastebuds probably are dull. Looking forward to getting those back and try again
@stosh thats how I always do.. I didn't inhale into my chest when I smoked either, so it is almost exculusively french-style. The vapors mostly all make me cough if i try to inhale also.
@parallelex bummer. can you let me know one to try?
@chime I might try my own mixing if I cant find something I like after a bit..

@sassy what? what is that? NO I didnt know anything about that??

I had a woman over who was a smoker who wanted to try my e cig and she was vaping Torrone and thought it was tobacco. Try some strong flavors. One flavor that I liked that I could actually taste was strictlyejuice hookah melon. Really strong flavor that just engulfs your mouth.

 

[son et lumiere]

parallelex is probably talking about atleast one vendor I know of that their chocolate taste like chocolate and that is freedomsmokeusa.

when you get a brand new atomizer, you have to blow out the shipping primer first!!

Blow into the cartridge end of the atomizer untill all the liquid comes out... then clean off the battery end of any remaining juice, reassemble and vape... give a couple primer puffs and soon you'll be in vape heaven

 

[Mozaki]

cool.. thanks @son Im going to check those out.
I'm up to buy lots of juices until I find the right ones. Its soooo much cheaper than analog and so worth it I dont feel bad about "wasting" $.
Once my tastebuds come back I will have to try them all over again though >_<!

 

[Mozaki]

@sassy... ohhhhhhkay
so when I switch flavors do I have to do that too? omg no wonder they were all the same.
doh! That wasn't in any of the videos I watched.

*facepalm* my tobacco doesn't taste like coffee anymore.. thanks.

 

[Sassyonemeis]

I know, it's amazing how this isnt the first thing that people know to do when they get a new PV, but it is NECESSARY. Blow it out. You dont have to do that when switching flavors, as they do blend over, but some flavors are better off not blended LOL You will get the hang of it and find what works for you just dont give up

now go blow out your atty and vape up and come back and let us know how wonderful it is now

 

[Stosh]

Had one more thought, you could be losing flavor depending on the PG/VG ratio.
VG can lessen the percived flavor in most any juice.

I've found a 50/50 split to my liking but DIY most of my juice so I can always just
add more flavor when I want it.

Flavoring is the most expensive part of most Juices. Most of the suppliers like to go slim on the percentage they use. If they mixed everything really strong, they wouldn't make as much money.

Just another reason to mix your own juices and see for yourself. Save cash and make the "perfect" flavor/TH/Vapor you want.

Thanks for the instructions! I knew about blowing out the atomizers from reading the forum, but I was blowing on the wrong end.

 

[Sassyonemeis]

LOL it happens!! When I first joined and read the instructions, one set said to blow from the battery end... so yeah.. been there done that...

 

[Mozaki]

Thanks for all the tips @stosh I know one of the sites I ordered from tasy vapor I think, let me pick my ratio and I tried 1 of each type so will see if that helps.

 

[Mozaki]

BTW. This has been my only difficulty.
I am LOVING vaping. Its fun to try all these different flavors and have so many options and all the mods and stuff you can do... its an actual hobby.
Also love that it is ohio and cold as hell and I dont have to go outside anymore. I feel so great playing my xbox and puffing a pink cig drinking wine. <3
I almost dont feel like I can take credit for "quitting smoking"

Ah, and thats only the beginning. Your lungs will heal, your sense of taste returns, you get your car detailed because it smells so bad. No ashes anywhere in your home or car.

Then the crusade begins to help others. You place an order to China every week for more and more units because friends and family and random strangers what to quit, but do not want to get screwed over by shady suppliers. The trunk of your car is full of hundreds of kits, and every weekend you start mixing all that juice everyone is dying for.
