This is when I went back to tobaccos...

do you mean analogs? or tobacco flavored juices? I did get some wakonda and virus with the bert and ernie, and did drip it fresh, but it wasn't my thing. At least for now, it seems that menthols, cinnamons, tobaccos, and vanilla custards, do not work for me. And that sucks, because so many yummy flavors include those. All I got left for me are fruits? :(

No way! I mean, back to tobacco flavored eliquid...

Natural Progression: Tobacco >>> Fruit >>> Bakery >>> Tobacco

Everyone seems to try to start with a tobacco flavored vape as a noob because they are under the errant belief that there is any such thing as a vape that tastes like "their brand." As we all know, that's a recipe for #fail.

Fruit seems to be the least intimidating alternative after people fail to find a tobacco they like right off the bat - I suspect mostly because everyone has at least one or more fruit flavors they like, and, fruit flavors are exceptionally easy for vendors to describe.

Bakery vapes are almost an enthusiast phenomenon... about the same time people start wading into custard is the same time people are talking about a first RDA, learning to rebuild, etc. The problem (if there is one) with bakery vapes is that they are so darn good it's easy to wear yourself out on them (that's what happened to me for a spell)... so, what did I do?

Back to tobacco vapes, this time with a totally different set of expectations... and, POW - The Virus.

I can't say *everyone* follows that path, but it seems to happen for most people, more often than not.

I've gone through long spells where bakery vapes just didn't do it for me - I just needed to do something, different.

Wow. It's like you have been stalking me since I started a little over 2 months ago. At first, I was looking for a cig a like flavor, and I wasn't even picky. But nothing worked. Then I went to fruits because they were "accurate". Then I found you, and your delicious delicious CLS. Then I found my 2nd fav, CB. But now, they don't hit for me.

As I said in the previous post, I tried the virus and the wakonda. And while I do taste the diversity and complexity, the NET's don't do it for me. But i've heard so often that the steep changes them. So now I wait. Wish me the best!

Yup, it's a tough one. I've said from the beginning - the concept of an ADV is a moving target. Vaping is so unlike smoking - I stayed on the same nails for a decade (and would even drive to another convenience store if they didn't have Marlboro Lights, which was rare)... some people manage to find that in vaping for a period of time, and then for no apparent reason, lose it. Vaping is a strange animal - more like EATING than smoking.

I have some meals that I cook with some regularity. I have some I cook for special occasions. I have some that I cook in specific situations. I eat out. Too much of ANYTHING (no matter how good it is) will burn me out on it. When I was in college, I couldn't get enough of the sub shop down the street... until I had it 4 days a week for a year or two. You get the idea...

I have found it helps to really mix things up. I have 5-6 devices running now with different flavors. And some days I want something more than others I guess. Yesterday I vaped an entire kayfun of CB and not as much of the others. Guess I was craving CB. Which, btw was half fresh. I mixed a fresh nz with 12mg that was from July.

This is how I describe vaping to people that question why I have so many different juice flavors. It is completely and totally like eating, so while we all smoked a preferred brand, we don't eat the same food for every meal of every day.
