Moving on from Tobacco Flavors

[CWayne121]

Hello all. Long time lurker, new member - and this topic is what got me to sign up.

I've been vaping for several years and am pretty savvy on the hardware side of things. My weakness is finding great flavors without too much trial and error, as I've wasted a lot of money and juice over the years in search of 'my juices'.

I am an avid tobacco flavor guy but I am getting really tired of the taste. I believe I've moved on. The paradox is that I enjoy sweet, spicy, or just plain unique liquids now, but they seem to be the most hit/miss of the genres. RY4 was my favorite of the 'tobacco' variants but even that got old after a few months way back.

My favorite juice to-date was Red Hots from FlavorShack, but that gets overwhelming after time. To be honest, it was the sweetness and unique spiciness that attracted me. The flavor was so-so, but the 'in your face' aspect had me hooked.

Since then I've tried dessert flavors from HHV and FlavorShack but nothing had captured my bored taste buds like that first vape of Red Hots years ago. Everything is just so muted these days in comparison.

So my question to you guys is this - What flavors and vendor do you guys find that 'wow' factor sweet or spicy or tart or just overall unique juice from. I am looking for 4 to 5 juices that just blow me away. Any thing is game other than tobaccos.

You might ask "Well what do you like?" but the truth is that I like the spectrum, I'm not a one-type flavor hound, but if I had to pick it would be the old-timer flavors like caramel, butterscotch, bakery goods, sweet potatoes, homemade vanilla icecream, classic candies, salty and sour, unique spices like chai, but I enjoy much more than just those segments, for example, a really good fruit could be a candidate.

You guys have been amazing sources of information and I hope the hive-mind can help me reach nirvana in my vaping career. Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

Pretty much anything from Vaping Monkey is great. Loads of flavor. They have a sample pack that might interest you.

If it were me I'd just head to your local vape shop and see if you can try some ejuice. My favorite stop off (E-Cig City) is great. I walk in and sit down and tell them what I'm looking for or that I just want something new and they start handing me one tank after another till I find a couple I like. It's really the best way to go about it if you can. Try before you buy is the best.

Good luck though!

Thanks Snicks. I didn't think there were any vape shops here in SATX but I googled and found one that lets one sample in their lounge. I'm going to have to check it out.

I'm still eager, though, to hear about some recommendations. I think a way to sum up my quest is that I'm looking for something that is non-mild and kicks like a mule on your tongue (in a good way) from some popular vendors like Mt Baker or HHV or AVE, etc. I've spent a lot of time reading reviews on their specific forums but I thought posted here would attract those in a similar boat as me, rather than attract the avid juice adventurers that can taste every note of every juice and write an essay on them.

These 2 goodejuice.com flavors hit the "wow" factor for me:

Kryptonite - lemon lime candy with eucalyptus, and a hint of melons and menthol
Maui Menthol - pina colada, menthol, mango, with notes of passion fruit. Think of a sweetish tropical menthol cocktail

They also seem higher in the flavor hitting than others.
