Savor the flavor

[DonG]

just hit 30 days today. Have mostly tobacco juice and had a little menthol that just ran out . Only got a little as never smoked menthol but it has really been a favorite vape. Anyway have a few flavors that up until today were less than satisfying. Seems vaping technique really makes a difference with the "flavors".

The normal "analogish" draw,inhale,exhale basically gave weak flavor or overly harsh flavor in the case of my cuppachino; which I really expected to like being a coffee drinker.

With a little change in vaping technique suddenly the flavor came alive for me. Try as follows:

Take a good mouth filling draw

Instead of "inhale/exhale" relax your jaw and kind of let the vapor "drift" partially out of your mouth until you can smell the flavor......then BREATHE in/out instead of INHALING/EXHALING. Those who sip brandy or a good red wine now and then should be able to pic this technique up quickly (hence the "savor the flavor" title). WOW all of a sudden the flavor comes alive and I am brousing various sites for samplers.

Now suddenly liking alot a flavor that I did not appreciate a couple days ago.

Yeah that's similar to what I do. Cigarettes spew smoke all the time so you can't help smelling the smoke. With PV's you need to do it more on purpose. Without aroma, all you can get are the 5 basic flavors the tongue can taste - sweet, salty, bitter, sour and savory.

Excellent description! I've never really smoked a pipe, but always wanted to because that is basically what it is all about . . . a finer experience. After getting my eGo, that is how I started using it, and still is a month later.

You're right, slamming down a glass of wine isn't the proper way to enjoy it. Enjoying it is the proper way to enjoy it. Shots and beer are meant for slamming. I love having vapor clouds hanging around my head, it is just a great experience. I think pipe smokers refer to it as the room note, and vaping beats the tar out of the room note of a pipe! (Pun intended.)

Whiskey/praline cloud . . . now . . . . Mmmmm.

That sounds fantastic. As my sense of taste and smell are improving (32 days analog free) I am just starting to appreciate flavors a little more. Have a sample of "brandy" on the way with a juice order I am waiting on and can't wait to try. Hopefully will be a nice "after dinner" vape. I can really see myself settling in to a few flavors.....morning, all day, and evening.

My "morning, all day, and evening" vapes are going to take a longggg time to discover. I've got 11 bottles sitting in front of me; from Camel, to french toast, whiskey, praline, 2 strawberries . . . and there are 20 steeping that I haven't touched with another 18 at the post office waiting for me, and 20ish more on order. Vaping is my Pokemon. Gotta catch 'em all! LOL

Hopefully this "good" habbit will be as hard to break as the old "bad" one. LOL. Even if I break even at some point the benefits are soooooo worth it.

Excellent advice. Thanks for taking the time to post.

I have to admit it does take practice and I am still in the practice stage of vaping. I hope at 30 days I have figured it out and found a "honey spot".

LMAO "break even?" It'll never happen, always a newer better toy(mod) I have to pick up to play with hahaha

I have my main favorite flavor, but in the DIY juice mixing I find the possibilities are endless combing flavors and creating new concoctions LOL
