New to vaping - juice question

[Surfer369]

I am glad I found this forum, it has been very helpful helping me find a starter kit. I am hoping I can get some help regarding ejuice from the experts here.

I am learning that it is very personal and one falvor that works for one may not work for the other person. So having said that I went to my local vape store and tried a few but didnt get any flavor it was all bland. Even their best seller tater bland to me then I tried a mango flavor by theory labs a Canadian company and it was amazing I could taste the mango on my lips and my mouth they had one more flavor grape. That also tasted great, but no other flavor I tried cane even close. I ordered a few from an online vendor vape wild and their flavors are also very subtle.

All these were 0g and 80/20 ratio.

So, why only these two from the same brand is all I could taste? And what else can I try that would give me the same great taste.

Also, when I tried the same mango on my pocket x it was not as strong as in the store. Occasionally I get it but it but most of the time it is subtle. In the store it is very flavorful.

The difference between the store and your personal vape is the atomizer. There could be numerous causes here

Interesting read, what I have found that on occasion I would get the flavor on my lips and mouth and it just tastes amazing and I will try pudding some more like you did and it does not come back. It has happened for me when I left the pocket x in the center console all day and came back after work and the first few drags are amazing. So based on your theory maybe cool device is causing the taste to come out for us.

Don’t understand the percentage that people are talking about.

I used to smoke but gave up a couple years ago. I just vape 0g and only occasionally but for those time I want the absolute best so I am ready to buy premium juice if need be.

A slow draw from a cooled down device... works for me, replicated a bunch of times now with my simple Ego AIO. However, putting your mod in the fridge is not a solution. Upping the % of flavor in the juice will eventually take you in the right direction.

(explanation: % can refer to nicotine strength OR flavor strength in the liquid. many of us mix our own liquids, VG/PG/nic/flavor, because after all, pre-made comercial liquids are usually very expensive, and we like to experiment.)

What atomizer (tank) and coils are you using? At what wattage?

Do you want to be using 0 nic juice? Sometimes the nicotine itself can impact the flavor.

It is correct that what you vape out of is going to impact things some places will let you bring a dripper and use that for tasting, although that's probably not so helpful right now, since you don't have a dripper.

Many online suppliers (on ECF but anywhere) will let you buy small sample packs so you can get a sense for the liquids. That could be worthwhile, although it can sometimes take time to find your true favorites.

The PG/VG ratio matters in two ways. Some vapes just don't function as well with high VG juices and the coil can get sort of clogged. PG tends to offer a bit more throat hit, and is also a flavor carrier so with high VG juices you sometimes want stronger flavors, or more flavoring in general although certainly not always.

What gear will you be using? That matters if and when you want to try and pick a nicotine level (if indeed you do want to etc.)

Good luck in your search?

I agree with Anna. The only thing you can do with your device is to choose e-juice with lower VG content (try 50/50) because PG is better flavor carrier... if you buy your juice from Vape Wild You can also order flavor buster for your particular juice and this should increase flavor slightly... unfortunately simple devices that do not let airflow control and wattage control usually do not provide top notch flavor... one thing more you can do is properly prime your coil and let it soak juice for at least half hour... some sweet juices can caramelize very fast if parts of coil are not thoroughly saturated and less juice coil can soak the lesser flavor can be...
