Need some encouragement/suggestions

So I started with a cigalike (white cloud) like most people. Took me awhile to get used to the "menthol" but now I rather enjoy it. Bought vanilla, espresso, moscow mule, cin, strawberry...etc. wanting a bit of variety. The ones I thought i'd like the most I hated, the ones I thought i'd be meh on...I really liked - like strawberry.

I bought a spinner and some clearos, and a small bottle of menthol from the same place. Then I bought some juice from another place (menthol, mt dew, apple/cin, menthol/cin, and they included a white tea)
first impressions actually had me gagging a little bit and I smoked an analog to get the flavor out of my mouth
steeped for a few days and they are getting a little more bearable....but I think i'll need to leave them awhile until the memory leaves my brain. doh.
will I like them at some point??
the menthols from 2 places surprisingly were the worst offenders. *shudder*

I also ordered a sampler from alice in vapeland and I'm hopeful, but now i'm kinda scared to sample anywhere else.
Also thinking I need to find a flavor I can vape....because right now...ugh.
The two best of my batch right now are the methol/cin which is not good....but doesn't make me want to wash my mouth out after a few puffs, but I can't do much more.
The freebie white tea isn't good either, but I can tolerate it a bit longer.

Luckily I have plenty of cartos for my WC and I'm using that still.

I'm eyeballing some dessert flavors at Mrs T (which is funny, because when I explored ecigs before I thought people were crazy for trying to find fruit/dessert/drink flavors and now I don't want tobacco really. LOL) like snickerdoodle (my fav cookie) banana and cheesecake...
Also thinking about just buying some bottles from AIV - but I really ought to wait and try my sampler I think. hahaha.

I loathe coconut, can't stand mint + chocolate (seriously, someone eating it near me makes me gag), and not a big fan of pineapple IRL....thought of chocolate flavored vape seems weird....but I dunno.
I do miss my american spirit milds a bit....smoked my last one from my pre-WC purchase over a month ago. Been smoking 1-2 a day...mostly when I haven't had much nicotine (end of day, first thing in AM) so a part of me is tempted to buy a new pack.

I assumed liquids would be better than prefilled carts...HELP!

I see you are from DFW area and there are quite a few vaping stores around here. I went to several different places around my area first to get comfortable with what to expect and then ventured into the wide world of online shopping which I believe made a ton of difference. I'm not sure if I can name the places I have been but they are in Mckinney, Frisco and Rowlett.
At a little over 3 months in I am just now finding flavors that taste "right" to me. Just give it a little time and you will love it!

Vapor bar -
I'm kinda socially akward so I generally avoid going to B+M stores, even for something like this. I keep trying to talk myself into going atleast to try and get an atomizer and driptip.

If you want sweet try Mt Bakers Vapor cinnamon roll (ready out of the mailbox) or Ahlusion's plain boba tea. Don't get discouraged, you'll find something soon. Most great vaping flavors are available online. These two are my personal favorites because I think their prices are fair and they put out great product. Mt Bakers pretty cheap so you should be able to buy a couple of samples with no problem, now ahlusion is more expensive and honestly their sample bottle is very expensive (10 ml/ 10 dlls) so I suggest you get the 30 ml instead (16 dlls).

You are correct I wasn't sure about going to a b&m at first either but now I love it!

Me too, first time I went I just grabbed whatever looked the most appealing (french vanilla) and ran out the door. I just can't linger in a place for long without feeling awkward.

Part of my problem is wanting to defer to shop advice but 9/10 times I know more than shop owners (not vape, in general) and end up irritated and leaving. Had situation with local janome shop and a swear-to-glob 80 yr old sales lady. I told her I wanted a mechanical machine and wanted to put hands on some of the models I was looking at online. She kept telling me I needed to try a high end computerized quilting/embroidery machine (1k and up vs 200-500 for mech). I said no I really prefer mech and restore old machines for fun.... And she kept telling me to just try it and I'd love it. Then she scoffs and told me "you shouldn't be so afraid of technology"

I am a network engineer and systems admin. whaaaaa?!?
