Sad night for vaping

[CityLights]

Is there anyone the likes Cheese Cake as a ADV? LoLz

I'm really interested in what flavours you've all found that has the greatest success rate for New to vape people. Currently out of all the liquids I've introduced vaping with that people have been able to make the switch from Analogs, MLV's Creamy CarmelBacco and Wurthers has the highest batting average. DK-TAB, 555 and RY4 are tied for second place.

BTW, for anyone that doesn't know yet, DK-TAB stands for Dekang Turkish American Blend. I'm still trying to find the meaning of 555, lolz

Bad luck for me tongiht. Just tried out a new juice supplier, ordered 7 different flavours... and didn't like one.. well the only one I can stand my wife picked out... They were all exciting flavours too... very very bummed. I won't name the company because they were awesome, super fast delivery etc.. not their fault, I just don't like their juice I suppose..

dont give up on them just yet. i had the same problem, all the juice tasted nasty, im not gonna say the vendor but ywo weeks later the juice steeped and they were awsome flavors, was gonna chuck them but glad i didnt. what flavors did you have maybe the same juice i had

You are definitely not alone!!! I've got a shoebox FULL of juices that I'm not interested in vaping!! I've finally found a vendor in the states that offers eliquids with complex flavours that I enjoy.

 

[Mindfield]

Yeah, I've gone through tons of that. I I have dozens of juices that I don't like or are "meh". Although the vast majority of them now are too strong since I lowered my nic content so I can't vape them anyway. Nevertheless I spent hundreds of dollars on juices from a few vendors going a bit nuts with sample packs and ended up finding only a handful of juices I'd vape on a regular basis. Most of the rest I'd vape if there was nothing else, and a few were, for me, unvapable. Not their fault, I just wasn't pleased with most of the flavours.

Curiously though, of all of the juices I have been sent so far for review, I've actually really, really liked the majority of them. Only one true dud so far (though I still have close to a couple dozen to review) and a few that were meh, but the majority of them have been excellent and I'd be happy vaping them if they were of lower strength. And those were all from Canadian juicers/vendors. Maybe I just prefer Canadian juice.

(Okay, not entirely true. Love AVE, Halo and Vaperite, too.)

I bought 60 ml of a flavour called 'port wine cigar' and I swear that vaping it tasted like eating a spoon full of black pepper every time I had a hit. It was 36mg so I filled a bottle 2/3 with that stuff, added some pg/vg mix to fill the bottle then let it steep and it is actually a pretty decent vape now... more tobacco than pepper, at least.

Something else I've noticed is that different flavours need different draw speed. Some flavours burn if the draw is too slow and taste like crap but simply speeding up the draw makes them taste much better.

Let them steep.


I'm a south of the border neighbor but some of the stuff I ordered first time was just plain NASTY when I first got it. 2 weeks later it was vape-able.


Pick one to get ya thru and let the others steep.

Just getting the samples now. Good advice (what I was thinking of doing when I find some I like) to order a sample bottle or two with each order to see if there is somethign else out there worth vaping.

AFAIK 555 is a British cigarette brand.

 

[Running Wolf]

555 is a Brit Brand? Like "Vistory Cigarettes"? Sorry was watching 1984 a little ago .

Seems another good idea is to also go for the "test batches" I know a few vendors offer them for little less than other juices or will give you credit on your next purchase if you use a test flavor and fill out a survey about them.

I'm just starting out and am a bit leery of the flavors so the test batches, at least for me was a way to sample a few flavors, see if I'd like a non-tobacco without a lot of risk or having to trade some icky flavors later.

This place (ECF) is great for getting the straight dope on things and I have learned a ton of things..... But flavors are like taste subjective.

I did find a strange flavor I had to grab a sample of today.... Pizza (choice for a sample kit). Somehow I get the feelings it's going to be one of those things I am either gonna love or hate. At least for me that's part of the draw for a sample pack.

I tried pizza. It didn't work out.

 

[Anaconda]

I tried BBQ Hickory Ribs.... not so much... but it did taste right, just not for vaping... at least not for me... LOL

Here's a you tube video of a great canadian reviewer. I love this one



Bornagainst has taken quite the brunt to show us some ideas are better off not seeing the light of day

LOL! Well, sorta. But 555's are actually real! I have a 555 tin around here - somewhere. Don't know if they are still sold in tins or not. I had seen them sold in the US.

Pizza? My reaction is "Be afwaid. Be verry verry afwaid!"

Oh... my...

It could be the low budget lighting. But I swear after he dropped the voltage on his pv as low as it would go and took a hit the poor guy turns green for several seconds.

There really, really shouldn't be "joke" flavors. But it makes one wonder if the only reason a flavor like this is kept in the mix is just to see how many people will try it. What was that famous quote from PT Barnum that comes to mind? No, that couldn't be the reason this stuff is still in existence? Could it?

 

[Running Wolf]

Yeah I know the pizza is going to be a love it or hate type thing. However I know one of the things I eventually want to DIY flavor would be a 'Italian herby' juice along the lines of how Strega liqueur is or a spaghetti sauce without the tomato base. A good oregano, thyme, basil, rosemary mix...

Oh man I have to save that failed flavor video off.

SilverKM: Totally know what you mean. I've tended to be pretty lucky in that fruit flavors (totally my preference) are pretty hard to mess up, and I'm not that picky, but it was tough in the beginning for sure. I'd keep the least-bad one in a drawer as a "OMG im out of juice panic" bottle and sell the rest as a lot in the classies.
