i think its more of the mindset of people getting bored of things and mindgaming themselves to think somethign else is better. I been vaping DIY eliquids for a year 100% VG and just mix crap. Although im not the one who expects much and keeps looking for a better flavorful vape in eliquids, i look for it in hardware upgrades instead of eliquids.

IMO hardware and juice work together to make our vape. Each add whet they will to the experience according to how we use them.

Good stuff in any case :)

I think the opposite. The juice is almost everything to me. I mostly vape carto tanks on ProVari, but I also like the same juice on a Halo Triton or a ProVape-1...

Juice is very important, but it tastes different at different power levels, with different hardware.

If you always vape the same hardware, the juice becomes the most important variable.

If you vary both, it becomes a lot more intricate.

This is true. Sometimes I like the hot vape of a top coil clearo, like in the Triton, but the cooler, richer vape of the same juice in a carto tank on a ProVari, and other times I like to enjoy the same juice also in a carto tank, but on a PV-1 and enjoy how the juice changes as the battery depletes...

Been vaping the same ol' 18-20mg/ml liquids on the same ol' setups for well over a year now. Every now and then I get a new atty or mod, but it's essentially just a different take on what I already use. Some times I get new flavors. Nic strength remains the same.

I stick to gennies and mech mods. Simple 0.8 ohm no-fancypants-singlecoil with 28 awg Kanthal on a mesh wick. The learning curve may be steeper than your average fiber-wick atty... but if you got the patience for it you may find it a worthwhile time investment.

May not be the ideal setup for everyone. I couldn't ask for anything more. The best I could hope for is 'different', not necessarily 'better'.

I vaped an AGA-T for months. Loved it and I still vape it once in a while for old times sake :)

If the FDA or Canada Customs ever get serious about taking away our vape, that experience might be really handy ;)

I've been using unflavored for five or six months. It has a taste, but not easy to explain. This is at 70/30 and 36mg/ml. I'm not really tempted to go back to experimenting with flavors.

Seriously, wow! That's the first time I've heard about the non flavored mix with just nicotine. If you could describe that as best you can what would you say?

Oh ye. If you can successfully set up an Aga-T, you should be good. Those things can be temperamental at times. So many ways to mess up a build after it's set up. Other than that - can't fault it even tho I prefer the more recent gennies. :)

Seems to me that the two groups of vapers who are most content with their setups are Reonauts and gennie users.

I do this more with flavors...for a long stretch there I preached that unflavored liquid was my favorite...then when I started doing my own coil builds I found myself leaning towards flavors again.

I'm pretty set on my nic level though. In my RDA I'll vape 3mg, and in a clearo I'll vary between 3-6. I'll also vape 80vg/20pg in a clearo, and try to find max vg where I can for my rda, but if I can't I get liquids as close to it as possible.

My biggest problem is flavor add. I have adhd as is, but I find I get bored/sick of flavors quickly then have to figure out a way to switch. That or just drive on and deal with that flavor until the tank is empty.

Sometimes your environment dictates your choices with surprising results.

Any flavored juice I used was immidately picked up by the sensitive olfactory senses of my wife and my 16 year old daughter.

I vape in my "Office room" that has a fan that pushes almost every thing out the window.

Was not enough.

So I started using unflavored VG juice with 24mg Nic and no one complained.

I got used to it and really do not miss any flavors at all.

But then, I'm only doing it for the Nic.

I dont chase clouds at all, Kinda puffing on it like an old man on a pipe.

Is it still bad for my family?

I dont know that for sure but as most of it goes out the window I certainly hope so.

Ok Bernard I use a 50% pg and a 50% vg mix 0mg nicotine. I have been on the no flavor kick for about 8 months now and still loving it. I do keep a tank of 1mg/ml of juice mixed for when I feel the need to have a little nicotine.I am running a mvp2 and a ileaf curve my tanks are Kanger T3S coils are at 3.2 ohm. I run my watts at 4.0 volts at 3.6 and vape it all day long. I do DIY all my juice. My coils I do a clean out on my coils at least three times a week with water first then followed with Vodka to sterilize my unit. Good luck on your journey and get away from the stinkies they will kill.

Here's my best shot at it. If you used to smoke, and one brand only, it tastes just about like that. You get accustomed to one brand, you enjoy the taste and all that, but you really don't notice the very real taste - till you get stuck with another brand.
