So am I Just Fickle?

[angelique510]

I find a flavor that I just love. It is my "all day vape" and I can't get enough of it. I don't touch any of my other juices for a couple of weeks. I figure I have finally found my "keeper" and don't have to keep trying new flavors. I bask in the "this is it and I am happy" feeling. My sample bottle runs low and I start jonesing for it because none of my other flavors make me as happy as this one. So I order a bulk bottle or two or three, or make up a huge bottle of DIY.

Then after a week or so.....I don't like it anymore. It's merely OK, but I know that the perfect juice for me is out there. I find a new flavor "that I just love" and repeat the process.

I have smoked the same cigarettes for years. I have drunk the same drinks for years, and never tire of either. I am very loyal to other products - perfume and shampoo and household products. But vaping - not so much. I have to change every few weeks. It's not that I am wanting to try something new, or that I have a compulsion for novelty. I truly want to find what works for me and stick with it. But no juice keeps my interest for long. And it is just juice (fortunately) I have a two models of PV that I have been loyal to for months.

Is this the nature of juice? Do all vapers do this? Or am I just one of those women that are never satisfied, or at least not for long?

Sorry I have to laugh at your last comment... It's true that no woman is ever happy for very long!

Actually I know exactly what you mean about loyalty to certain flavors and I at one time thought that RY4 was the only one for me, but the more I tried other cigarette flavors the more I liked. Now I normally go up to a full day with just one flavor or most of the day, then switch to another for 12-24 hours. I alternate between Marlb, RY4, Kamel, USA Mix and Tobacco, but I'm also going to try some DK-Tab and Flu-cured and see how I like them as well.

They say that variety is the spice of life and it's actually pretty nice to be able to switch flavors anytime you want to. I don't think you're being fickle at all and after a while we just get set in what we like.

I do the exact same thing, Hunny.
But when I think I've found "the one" I order a 500ml bottle of it (or 2)
Then I have to put it in the classifieds. I've lost a small fortune.

Makes no sense. I smoked the same brand of cigarette for 34 years. NOW I get picky

I really hope this doesn't happen to me, as I'm starting week 3 of my first big order (about half a liter, in three strengths). Taking the plunge was a combination of fear about a possible FDA Winter, a juice I like a lot (Stepwolves from Freedomsmoke), a tax refund, but as much as anything to have the same reliability of experience I liked about smoking. The times I switched brands over my decades of smoking, it was never about weariness over my brand--it was either a function of the company screwing adversely with the product or feeling a pang of conscience to smoke lighter. So I'm really hoping I don't get tired of Stepwolves a couple hundred ML into the order.

But one big difference between vaping and smoking is the variety of flavors, even just within the tobacco family, not to mention across the board. I think there are a lot of folks here who thrive on that variety and I do like to dabble a bit. But I do hope I've gravitated to a long-term daily vape.

I'm the same way. I'm happy for a day or two and then I need something new. One of the only exceptions was very berry by top vapor. Although I only had 10 ml of it, once I got started I didn't put it away untill it was empty.

I was that way for a while until I started vaping Halo Menthol Ice a few months ago - it made everything else taste "meh", and I rarely get tired of it. Just for grins, I fired up a carto of a coffee-flavored juice this morning that was a former favorite, and I don't know if I can finish it.

I think it's important to change things up once in awhile, just to keep things fresh. Like you said, even you eventually fall out of love for your "hit flavor". Which is why I don't like buying in bulk. 20-30ml at a time is good for me, that way I can rotate between 3-4 flavors on a daily basis. Which I believe to be the sweet spot; enough variety to keep your tastebuds on their toes, but not enough that you're leaving bottles of random stuff to go t waste. Right now for me it's menthol, caffe macchiato, clove and RY4 9with a bit of bananas and cream).
