New to vaping - Having a hard time finding a juice I like.... :(

[SkyGirl33]

Hi everyone......

I started with my first attempt at e-cigs about 2 years ago with a 510 and failed miserably; trying again and now on day 7 analog free.... Problem is I can't seem to find a juice that doesn't taste like almost nothing/air. I have about 15 different bottles and really can't find anything that has a decent taste to it..... Any advice would be appreciated. If it helps, I have Twist and Smoov batts, a Pro tank, and 4 EVOD clearos.

Try E-liqua strawberry.. i use the 9mg/ml and it has a nice throat hit and flavor.

 

[Hokus]

What type of flavors have you tried and what kind do you like?

 

[GPSTrucker]

Maybe you just need to stick with analog free and let your taste buds clear?

 

[onion456]

oh man. well, is there anything in common with the 15 bottles you tried? same vendor? all tobacco flavors? you might want to think outside the box a bit, take a risk on new flavors that interest you but maybe youre not sure youll like- you could be pleasantly surprised.

also, think about maybe sampler packs, or vendors who sell small quantity bottles, so youre not throwing so much money away. ecblends is one that i know of (but havent tried yet) that sells tiny bottles fo $2.50ea.

i have tried timeless vapor, high desert vapes, e-liq cube, pink spot and a couple others that i cant remember.

timeless vapor-very good
blue moon was good
i hear mandys melons is smexy

high desert-pretty good but there was a certain similar taste in all 6 of my juices
organic green apple and blue zazz were my favs

e-liq cube- ok-very good
they only deal locally but if you call e-cig city 2, theyll ship to you
oober goober and oober nutz are both good
one of them is taro and the other coconut mixed w/something else
i cant remember which is which but the taro is lovely

pink spot- also varies
georgia peach is a nice peach

another brand has a flavor called betty white-good flavor

dekang-not very much

Ive never vaped anything that tastes like nothing/air. Maybe your taste buds are acting up?

Something I found that tastes very nice is organic e-liquids. They pack a real taste/smell experience.

What are you liking right now..Tobacco flavors, fruit flavors or sweet? Also, where have you gotten your juice from...that can make a difference..if ordering online and when you went to order...if you were allowed to choose your Nic level and also what PG/VG you wanted, chance are its afresh batch of juice...meaning that it will more than likely need to "steep" that can take as long a a couple of weeks, or just a couple/few days...again, depending on what type of juice it is...care to give examples??

All of them are from the same local shop; they are a mix of fruity an tobacco flavors..... Are they really that different from shop to shop?

 

[Amish3006]

I was in the same boat. I tried a couple dozen flavors but everything was really muted.

I liked MBV because you could add extra flavor shots.

You might also look into making your own. I've only recently started and the results are promising.

It is fresh - It's from a local place - they mixed it for us when we got it ----- Sorry if this is a dumb question--- But will the juices better with time? I was thinking of ordering a sample pack from Heathers, I like everything from tobacco to fruity - so almost any flavor is game.

You might try something other than Kanger bottom coil units, from my experience they tend to have muted flavor and airy draw, try a Vivi Nova or even a standard ce4 type clearo and see if that perks up the flavor for you, good luck and be glad your off the death sticks.

Another option is Mt Baker Vapors since you can add multiple flavor shots to up the flavor.

I find when my taste buds act up I have to radically change what I am vaping. If I have been vaping something like a mild fruit I switch to a really strong cinnamon (careful to only use a glass, polypro or metal tank as its a tank cracker) or vice versa.

Even so it took awhile before I really started tasting my juices when I first started. Tastebuds take awhile to rebound.

 

[Roamwolf]

IMO, its best to find a Vape Bar close to your location.
most of them will let you try what they have in stock, seems to be the best way to find something you like

 

[Professional_Noob]

If you like licorice try Grenada from next level vapors. It is incredible! Can't put it down.

The difference can be like night and day. Some vendors have very subtle flavors and others have flavors that will slap you in the face and there are people who enjoy both. Some vendors specialize in flavor types i.e. tobacco, fruit, teas.
Find the thread "top 5 vendors" or I believe the 2012 juice awards list is a sticky post at the top of the general e liquid forum and these will give you some great ideas of who to try.

 

[SkyGirl33]

Right now I have Tiger's Blood, AB-, Arctic berry, Puff's Blood, Ecto plasma and a few others that are tobacco flavors..... (Can't remember all the names off hand.... I'm definitely going to try another vendor and maybe set these aside for a bit and try them again in a couple weeks. A few are reduced PG and some are all VG juices, I can't tolerate too much PG.....

In the interim, I guess I'll try Mt Baker and a couple others.... Maybe the menthol cigs I had for years really knocked out my tastebuds. Yikes.

 

[salemgold]

VG is very muting to flavors. They do take extra steep time for the flavor to really shine. I am betting that the high VG is why your flavors are muted.

Hang in there. You will find something that you like.

Let the ones that you have steep. I have tried Tigers Blood and Ectoplasma and they are good flavors

 

[chellemmm]

Yes, they really do vary from shop to shop. Search around this place, there are a lot of good threads in the General E-liquid forum. Sometimes finding the right e-liquid is the hardest part of vaping. Sometimes you will love a juice, the next day hate it. It is a good idea to have several different kinds that you enjoy so you can change off.
Mount Baker Vapor is inexpensive and you can try different flavors, etc. without breaking the bank too much. Experiment with different flavor shots, vg/pg ratios, etc. KEEP HYDRATED with water...that seems to have a HUGE effect on taste buds. Relax, and ENJOY!

 

[salemgold]

You could take a coffee cup and fill it 1/2 way with tap water. Microwave it for 30 seconds. Place your bottle of juice in it and let it sit for about 30 minutes. That is a quick steep method that works well for me. They will still get better with age though.
