Not me.
Digging in my stuff I find I still have several Capellas flavors,mostly fruits but they're 2 years old.............

The only tobaccos I got were 'RY4' from TFA & 'Maxx-Blend' from FA. So far I'm ruling the maxx-blend out; it smells like perfume & I'm not anxious to try it. The RY4 could be a 'maybe'. I must say that I'm SUPER impressed with the way they packed eveything.
I've bought a zillion flavorings in the past week & the winners at this point are the 'super concentrated' ones from VZ. I've already ordered their large sizes of 'desert ship' & 'real cig'...love them mixed together. Sorry, I'm not into the fruit flavors....well I do love the 'apple-pie' from Mountain Vapor. Unfortunately he raised his price from $12 to $18 plus high shipping soooooooo.........
My flav manufacturer preferences from favorite to day-um good:
VZ SC
Caps
TFA
Ya might want to try:
Green Apple Pie (GAP)
Caps - Apple Pie - 10%
Caps - Green Apple - 8%
LJ - one drop per 3ml
Has a very smooth cinnamon element; not overwhelming like too many of da cinnamons. I use the Green Apple to boost the apple experience.
Sorry can't help ya'll on the 'bakky flavs! I just never had one that made my 'buds' happy.
If....I have the Caps 'apple pie' & nothing compares to the mtn vapors. I think my taste buds are destroyed because everything has to be super strong, actually the old cigs always had to be like that as I used to roll pipe tobacco back in the day. I will say that your white vinegar is in all my concoctions (love it, thanks) & I'm going to get your 'lemon juice' except I don't know what type of flavors you use it with.
I don't know what type of flavors you use it with.
LJ for fruit/light flavs. ACV for dessert/savory flavs. One drop of either per 3ml. BUT, that's just me. I haven't experimented much beyond my ratio. I'm sure that others would prefer other ratios based upon their recipes.
Natasha, sorry to hear about the ashtray mouth. I know it is really hard when you first get started. I am still fighting with my taste buds. When I first started - the only flavor I actually liked was an RY4 - now not so much. Then it was a Green Apple which right now I can barely taste. I then found a Black Honey Tobacco that I vaped for a couple of weeks and can still vape it - but I am not getting the same flavor from it.
I have found that I usually have to go with at least 2 different flavors sometimes 3 in a day to keep from losing all taste. I have just gone thru 10 mls of a great peppermint in the last 2 weeks that has by far been the best. I find I still have to include either the peppermint or a menthol in the daily mix at some point - usually switch to this when I start losing taste from one of the others.
The last thing I tried - following the lots of water, brushing teeth & tongue, eating something sweet or salty, rinsing with salt water and now I bought and rinse with a Biotene mouthwash. The mouthwash is suppose to help with dry mouth and contains no alchohol. I think it has been helping.
I figure since I am now at least smelling more (but not always the good smells) that I can keep hoping the taste buds might eventually get sorted out too. I guess if took 46 years of smoking to destroy them - it might take awhile for them to come back
Semi, I have tried the Vivi Nova, Mini Vivi Nova, T2 and T3. I did not like the Vivi Nova at first - but after going thru the first tank, I cleaned it and since then I am liking it a lot more. I have had my second Mini Vivi Nova (first one died right away and may have been a knock-off) and I am really liking it.
I like the size of the mini and how it looks better than the bigger Vivi Nova - but function wise they are both good. After these two I like the T2 better than the T3 - for flavor, but it has to be kept above the 1ml mark or it gurgles and then leaks
I am starting to like the T3 a little more - but I do find that I get more flavor from the Mini Vivi Nova. I have had some flooding and leaking with the T3 and the big Vivi Nova that have never been a problem with the Mini Vivi. There is some twirling required with the Mini Vivi to vape the full tank - but I like that I can vape it til empty - so not a issue for me. With the T2 and T3 - I find I cannot vape them empty. So, just my
Hi Nat...Welcome. I feel for you & I'm still in the same boat. Unless a liquid is GOOD & SUPER STRONG, I can't taste a thing. I do believe I blew out my taste buds ages-ago. I do add menthol to everything & that helps somewhat, however, I found some Super Concentrated flavoring at Vaping Zone (made w/alcohol) that I'm really liking & you could put a few drops in whatever you're trying; better than pitching it out. Just a thought........

HMMM.. and the "tobacco flavors" are the only ones I've not yet tried. As I decided to just stay away from any and everything that might smell/taste like tobacco. But.... maybe I'll give those all a go also. This is rather frustrating, as I have to admit it did not occur to me that I was going to receive all of these wonderful flavors and not be able to taste squat. Pfffft
Ordered some more flavs today, will see if any of those kick in. Did buy Biotene toothpaste, but the store was completely out of the mouthwash. I also bought some Listerine Mint breath strips, as hey then at least my mouth tastes like something besides an ashtray... for a brief period.
And yes you are correct... it took us a LONG time to get here, so we cannot expect things to change overnight. Although patience is not my strong suit.
My favorite "Tobacco flavor", it turns out is not tobacco. When I smoked a pipe, I could only smoke Captain Black Gold. After starting with the vaping, I looked into it and it turns out that the flavor is just that - a flavoring they spray on the tobacco to make it taste better. So I mix up my own captain black now and LOVE it!HMMM.. and the "tobacco flavors" are the only ones I've not yet tried.

Trying get put an order together at ECX. Can I get opinions on who has the best tart apple flavor please.
Sorry, haven't worked with the FA apple yet, but it smells wonderful. Of course that doesn't always mean it tastes like it smells.
I don't care for the TPA Apple. I might try the new Hangsen apple from the ECX site. Working on a big flavor order.
i just have one of the small bottles of TPA apple to try. Let me know how you like the ECX one.
I tried black cherry/vanilla and vanilla/black cherry, but am not impressed. I'm going to try adding some of the passion fruit to it today and see if that helps. It just seems to need a little something.
I'm working on a big flavor order from ECX. I have 2 smaller orders due to get here Monday. I also have 15 Natures Flavors coming from a CoOp soon.
