Taste is very subjective.  I too wanted something that tases like those old stinkies, but not sweet.  There is going to be a sweet tase to about everything but depending on your battery voltage + atty/carto Ohms will enhance the taste of the liquid.  Also nic mg at higher levels produce a better TH.  I for one wanted to try allot of fruity flavors when I first stated.  I found I don't like any of them today, but might just change my mind when I get my Reo fired up this week hopefully.  Some vendors list what some of their juice are patterned after.  USA mix to me is a mild/light smoke flavor.  Some like a cuban cigar flavor, and it seems alot like the RY4.  I'm concentrating on menthol and Carolina Crush is my go-to all day vape currently.  You being in ID, check out Rocky Mountain Vapors for good flavors/descriptions + good pricing & fast shipping. Its been said that finding your favorite flavor is one of the toughest things.  I agree, but there are allot of flavors so try-em all when you can.
