Dont get me wrong , I quit analog cig for 5 months thanks to vaping , but am I only one who get brain pain when choosing what to vape ?

When I was smoking I get 1 taste or lets say 2 some with mint so no thinking buy it and smoke it , but in vaping world there are many like in candy shop you dont know what to choose , they are so sweet but cant decide what to take now and what to leave for later , even I started numbering my bottles and let my device randomize number to vape or I'll stay all day long lookin at it dont know what to vape :-x

I dont think am only one , right ?

I spent about 2 1/2 years trying to find my ADV. I knew what I liked (fruity menthol) but I always ended up seeking out something different. It didn't really make sense to me since I smoked basically the same cigarettes for 26 years and was perfectly happy. A few months ago I decided to get into DIY and remove the flavor component (other than simple menthol) from the equation. Best decision I ever made.

I was like most when I smoked, I smoked just one brand - Marlboro Menthols. I keep a few flavors about but I am pretty standardized. my mods consist of Super T Precise +'s and Titanide Themis's (Themi's?) with Prometey atties. When I need a change of pace, I fire up a Taifun GS. 90% of my juice consumption is my own DIY blend.

Unflavored. This is the way to go. No more chasing the dragon.
Definitely!

I think people are also getting really sick of these $15 to $20 30ml bottles. After getting into DIY and realizing how cheap the components to make juice really are, which is even less expensive with these vendors buying bigger quantities, these "premium" juice makers are making a killing.

Sick of them?? It seems they are growing by leaps and bounds!!!

I'm a simple man myself, I like very little flavoring and whatever I decide on I'll vape only that for a long time.

But new stores are opening up left and right selling those what I consider high dollar juices. I do get it though, with the old low powered gear you could maybe pick up a hint of strawberry or whatever. With the new high powered gear you can pick up on strawberry, what day of the week it was picked, the name of the person who picked it and if it has whipped cream you should be able to tell who's grandmothers recipe was used.

So the old blueberry, strawberry and so on don't work for these modern vapers. So while I don't do it myself I can see why others do.

Its pretty expensive I think but I have to remember not everyone is poor. I didn''t quit smoking to save money. I could afford to smoke then and I could now. If they are happy then I am happy for them.

Yeah. It really has nothing to do with money. I do vape 3 or 4 juices by Phillip Rocke. He does make quality juice that i'm willing to pay for it. But I could vape unflavored all the time if I had to. Unflavored to me goes best when enjoying a few cold ones if you know what I mean.

    I was going to order one little bottle of espresso concentrate & one little bottle of cappuccino concentrate, but when I received the order conformation I notice that I'll be recieiing 60ml of each! :lol:

    Thinking I'll be vaping a lot of coffee flavored juice. Should be enough flavoring for about 5 gallons.:shock:
    Oh well, now my mango & apple flavorings will last a lot longer. ;)

    I love flavor exploring. It's my vaping hobby.

    I have about 6 flavors that I routinely get, and then make it a point to try at least 2 new flavors in every order.

    I still smoke and do still enjoy that flavor, which is unmatched in vapor. Most would say that's a good thing, I'd disagree.

    To me, not having many flavor options would be like only being able to listen to music by say one band for the rest of your life. Could be your favorite band ever, but pretty sure that would get old fast.

    Go very easy on coffee flavors, Very easy to add too much it make it taste pretty bad, start with only a couple of drops and experiment from there.

    This pretty much describes me. :thumb: (except I have been smoke free for over 3 years)

    I only smoked Marlboro Menthol Lites (for over 30 years). So finding a flavor to stop smoking with was relatively easy at first -- Ice Menthol.

    However, I began experimenting with different flavors early on in my vaping journey. First it was fruit flavors, then coffee flavors. Now I also like some creamy desert flavors and liquer flavors.

    I'm amazed that I stuck with one boring cigarette for all those years, now that I've probably tried a hundred vape flavors. I typically change flavors 3 - 4 times a day. I keep approximately six favorite flavors in my stock at all times, and am always on the look out for a new flavor that I might like. Juice tasting stations are my favorite spot in a vape shop. I found my two ideal gear setups over a year ago and don't plan on buying anything new.

    "A couple of drops" leaves a lot of room for error. A couple of drops/ml, a coupe/10ml, or 30ml, or maybe for a quart jar.
    Nice thing about having unflavored base made in advance, I can always cut it if a batch is to strong.

    Form what I have seen. Most "pro" vapers seem to have an "I want it all" kind of mentality. Were not just happy with on atty or mod or flavor. I'm the kind of dude that has 8 different kinds of coffee, 4 flavors of creamers and 5 kinds of coffee makers. I like to have variations of the same thing. With all the different mods and attys that I have, I could go two months without vaping on the same setup twice and that's the way I like it [emoji6]
