Need help, I hate having picky taste buds!

[TrickL]

Ok so here's the deal...I've been using e-cigs for 9 months, but only switched from cig-a-likes with pre-filled cartridges about 3 weeks ago. I have a local B&M store but was hoping to find some good e-juice online for less money, and a different vg/pg ratio as my local only does 80vg/20pg. I really like the RY4 from the local place.

I'm using an eGo vv and eGo standard batteries both with mini pro tank 2's.

Heres what I'm NOT looking for:
any flavors with an artificial sweetener flavor
with any hint of liquorish or coconut
spicy/hot flavors
I haven't tried many fruity flavors as they have that artificial flavor
no floral notes
no mint
no alcohol flavor

What I AM looking for:

full flavor
a naturally sweet flavor
like vanilla and caramel (haven't tried either on their own as a flavor yet

I have tried a honey flavor from one vender, which had a floral note to it, so I would like to try it from another vendor if I can find it without that floral note.

Yes, I realize this seems incredibly picky and I almost didn't post this, but I want to stay off analogs. I know taste is very subjective but I figure those of you that have tried many different flavors and vendors might be able to help me narrow my search. I can't afford to try 20 different flavors from 20 different venders at the moment.

Thanks for taking the time to read and consider!!!

I think you're a very good candidate for DIY, your needs I think are going to make finding a vendor very challenging.

(PS - finding honey without a flower note will be very hard, honey is made from flowers, after all)

You may be right about DIY, was just hoping to find some flavors to get a baseline and to use before venturing into DIY. And I realize honey comes from flowers but honey itself doesn't have to taste floral. But I appreciate the suggestion!

You'll probably like killer juice fruit flavors if you want a fruit without candy or cough drop flavors. All their flavors are naturally derived so no alcohol or perfume type smell or flavor. As for bakery type flavors I'm still on the hunt myself not knowing exactly what I'm looking for. If you like a rich hot cocoa halo's Belgian cocoa is very good. You may like Johnson creek vanda (vanilla). Your best bet is just look through recommendations on here and put together some samplers because there are as many answers as people. If you like caramel nutty flavors I also recommend halo tribeca it's listed as a tobacco but I personally don't really taste the tobacco in it

Thank you very much! I really appreciate the recommendations. I will look into all of those.

Two e juice vendors that I would recommend based on what you described are The Vapor Chef and Vape Dudes. Both have great at producing a broad range of complex flavors. I've not been disappointed with any flavors I have ordered from them and there where only a couple that I wouldn't continue to order long-term.

 

[TrickL]

Awesome, Thanks for the recommendation! I will check them out!

I second The Vapor Chef. I've tried about a dozen flavors and so far none have tasted artificial to me, except the caramel apple before I let it steep long enough. Now it tastes like caramel wrapped around a red apple.

I'm also going to suggest Potion Vape because they use natural flavors and they do taste real. Elderberry Ice (no menthol, it's named for the way the flavor is extracted I think) is my favorite.

I'm pretty sure Alice in Vapeland uses natural flavors, and I know they don't use artificial sweetners, unless things have changed. Their flavors have also tasted very realistic to me, but some people don't like them. Their flavors tend to be on the light side for many people, but I only think that about a couple of their juices.

Virgin Vapor also uses natural flavorings, I think, and they're organic. I only like a couple of the ones I've tried from them, but some people love them. The only ones I would recommend fall on your "do not want" list, though.

Don't feel bad; my taste buds are still deadened with smoking, but my sense of smell is ungodly sensitive and picky. I don't really like the sweet taste, but one thing I wondered, and it wasn't really clear in your post: are you looking for a tobacco flavor that's sweet, or something more candy-like?

Either. I figured I had enough in the "not" list! Lol. I'm open to try either type. I have the same smell issue. One of the flavors I tried yesterday was so strong, I could still smell it in my hair 4 hours later. Finally had to go wash my hair again.

Great suggestions! Thanks! Thanks for the detailed description. That really helps!

I second checking out virgin vapor. My father mentioned a new site he found I think was vapor girl based in NC. He's liked their stuff so far and I know he looks for organic/ avoiding artificial flavors when he can. Best of luck and congrats on the upgrade!

Thanks Cool-breeze!!

Yeah I'm getting a bit of that myself, though so far, changing my shirt has sufficed. But it's starting to make me question my stubborn loyalty to the taste of tobacco, and reconsider flavors that, at first, I never would have -- like maybe a strong peppermint, to substitute for "throat hit." I know I gotta ditch the cigarettes, and I know cold turkey is the very devil, and patches seem about like "cold turkey" to me. So, with the vaping, I'm starting to open my mind to the possibility of not replacing the tobacco itself, but using something a great deal more pleasant to smell -- something that, after a day of vaping, the smell of it won't gross me out.

I know this is a fruit flavor but the juice I have had that is the most true to taste is the Pear liquid from MBV. I got a 65/35 pg/vg mix at 6mg with 1 flavor shot. I am normally not big on pears but this does not taste artificial what so ever, tastes exactly like eating a pear, so much so you even get a texture out of it.

 

[TrickL]

Ok, so I placed orders at Johnson Creek and Vapor Chef last night. Probably place a killer juice order and possibly a virgin vapor order!
Thanks so much to all of you that took time to give me a couple leads! It is truly appreciated!

I got 3 flavors from killer juice. I've only tried one, but it is awesome! Thanks for the recommendation!

 

[AndriaD]

I got my cinnamon redhot from Killer Juice today -- but I finally did find a tobacco flavor that I just love; it's "Virginia" from myfreedomsmokes.com -- it's very light and subtle, tastes a GREAT deal like my Virginia Slims cigarettes, and the smell of it doesn't gross me out, either the e-juice or the vapor itself; when I fill the tank, I smell a very light scent from the e-juice, and I don't really smell any lingering odor from the vapor at all. Both thumbs up, IMO!!

I got some of that strong peppermint last week, a Halo flavor, Kringle's Curse, and it's not bad, but the peppermint will stay with you for a while, and you can't apparently use the atomizer that you used with the peppermint for anything else -- though I'm considering experimenting with a mix of the peppermint with the cinnamon redhot, so I guess I might re-use that atomizer for that. To me it's best after a spicy meal; we had pizza the night I got that, with pepperoni and ital sausage, and that Kringle's Curse got rid of the garlic aftertaste completely.

Glad you liked it! Keep an eye on his thread here for new flavors and flash one day sales etc.

The peppermint is great after a meal to me, that's when I wanted to smoke like 3 in a row is after spicy food. It isn't a 24/7 vape flavor for most people but it's good to have in case of strong craving, at least in my case.

Let me know how you like the red hots! It is completely safe in plastic so don't worry too much

 

[TrickL]

I have tried all 3 killer juice flavors now and love them all. That is very odd for me since I'm so picky. Lol. The other two were the RY4 and blueberry cotton candy.
