Hey guys..actually typing on the computer for once lol.

Anyways..I'm really hoping that I can get some suggestions on my next purchases because the bank account is draining from all the flavors I've tried and ended up passing off to my hubby. I can't afford another miss lol.

I really want to give my future business to NT because I love how they do it. :) So please forgive my mentioning my current likes from other vendors, because that is the best way I can describe my preferred flavor profiles.

So I actually did visit a local vape shop (who unfortunately doesn't carry NT currently), and I did find many I liked, and even brought some home. However, I can't seem to handle them very long, as one of the flavors just "gets" to me after awhile. There are only a few I found that I really liked enough and didn't get annoying to me after awhile. If I post here what I've gravitated towards from other vendors, maybe I can get some suggestions as to which NT flavors might work as well for me? I need to really find more that one that I like to vape all day long if I'm to be successful in avoiding the stinkies, and I want to give keep giving business to NT.

So, I'll try to be brief (though I will likely fail) and describe what I've tried and what has worked and hasn't worked.

So far my ADV since we got the nautis has been Bumblebee Black Magic. For anyone that doesn't know, the profile changes throughout my day depending on what I've eaten or drank of course; but at its base is rather like strong black coffee on the exhale, fudgy on the inhale, and some nutty undertones. It's not too sweet at all really, and this might be reason alone why I like it so much (though I also love coffee).

Right now I only have one other ecig and it's one I rather don't prefer to use, but it puts out enough flavor, and I've been alternating it with my nauti to keep my taste buds from getting bored, so to speak. I've dumped it out countless times because I drop something in there and like it at first then get sick of it after 10 minutes.

What HAS worked for extended time: Cuttwood Unicorn Milk (the only fruity flavor that has worked for me so far), Pink Spot Swagger (though this is very dark and seems to be a coil clogger).

What I do like but seem to be only able to handle for short periods before they "get" to me: Suicide Bunny Derailed (banana got to me), Jvapes Blueberry Cake (blueberry got to me). I really do like them, but honestly think I need to save those sorts of flavors for a THIRD tank that I don't have yet, so I can just pick them up occasionally.

What doesn't work for me: SO SORRY, but virus is too sweet for me! That's the only one I've tried from NT so far; my coolcumber mint is in the mail. I also don't really go for straight up fruits it seems, or so far at least...and without even trying to be quite honest, I can tell you I won't like candy flavors.

Nicoticket you have so many to choose from, and I don't know which ones to sample next paycheck lol. So please..advise! <3

I haven't tasted many that were shipped to me yet, but at the shop I have tasted about 30 flavors at least, of all kinds.

What I gather is the following:

For a solid secondary tank fill that I won't end up wasting, I seem to prefer the following flavor profiles: coffees, custards (can be with fruit if they are more creme that fruit, like unicorn milk), nutty undertones...caramels if they are slightly buttery (is there a butter pecan??), or with vanillas. And I am not against tobacco flavor if it's enhanced with these flavors. Even though I really don't think their juice is any good, the tobaccolicious from Vaporfi was something I liked. I guess its' looking like the only fruits I can take are creamy fruits. As good as it was at first, the banana cookie like flavor got to be too much for me to handle and I dumped my tank. Thank God it was only 1ml (Derailed).

Suggestions?? I wouldn't mind making all my purchases from NT but I need some idea of what will hit me right..as I just cannot afford the blind experimentation anymore lol (especially when I want to purchase an MVP2 soon o_O)

Much love,
Dragonflie

Hi Dragonflie - you strike me as someone who might like Wakonda. Coffee with caramel and vanilla undertones. Your flavor profiles sound a lot like mine and I also couldn't do The Virus.

Grandma's cinnamon Danish may also be good for you. I like Raz Cup, Wakonda, Frenilla and Peanut Butter cookie about the best. Oh, and NY cheesecake with a little fruit sometimes is great!

I'd start with Wakonda and Raz Cup.

I love my MVP2! As to flavors, I have only tried a few, but looking to branch out once I get my car fixed. I have tried Grape ape and coolcumber mint. They were both amazing! I still have some of the grape left because I am trying to make it last until I can order some more! I think you will enjoy the coolcumber mint, it is very mellow and not too over the top. I am not sure if you would like the grape though. I haven't put them in a tank since I loooove my dripper, but I always get a sweet concord grape jelly flavor. Seems like the really sweet fruits isn't your cup of tea. You will have to consult the others that will be along shortly about the other flavors. The great thing about Nicoticket is that we have a swap meet thread that is stickied to the sub-forum for those flavors that don't strike your fancy.

Also, welcome to the family, you will love it here!

Yeah, it sounds like Wakonda would be a no brainer since you really dig the coffee vapes. I haven't tried this yet, but everybody seems to just love this one so I am getting on the warrior wagon. As for creamy fruit - Strawnilla. It's a huge hit for me.

It may not line up with your preferences, but I'll throw out there that PBC+GA and PBC+GC have been rocking my tank non-stop for days. They needed a couple of weeks of steep time, and some patience on my part to sit and really get to know them. The persistence really paid off though. They are now at the top of my list.

You can't go wrong with any of them but based on the info you gave I would have to say Wakonda and Frenilla! The great deal is that if any of them don't hit for you, we have a great swap thread! It a super win win! Welcome to the NuThouse! Hope to see a lot more of you here. It is kookie krazy family that will grow on you!

<3 so far I've loved the atmosphere, which is why I'm trying to build a collection from NT :)

And why we're happy to help! Wakonda and Frenila are a good bet. If just one: Wakonda. Clark himself says that his juices hit from the 7-8 scale of sweetness so personally I'd find some unflavored to mix to tone down the sweetness for your likes as you found Virus too sweet. Everything is very good. That said everyone has different likes when it comes to juices. Wakonda and Frenila are super winners as you could add them to lesser juices which may be less sweet to make them suddenly shine!

I hope you can find something you love!! :thumb:

And you know what? You could hate everything and say so and we'd still like you...in fact your husband may love the juices so much he will want you to only give him NT from now on...just saying...:evil:

My flavor profile seems to align nicely with yours. I do like the virus, but I canno adv it for your reasons. As many have stated, Wakonda is AWESOME!!! That is my virus. Based on what you said, Strawnilla/Frenilla and/or cheesecake w/ strawberry topping would be next (but unfortunately the strawberry is sold out right now, but just keep it in mind. There are a ton to recomend, but I would go for wakonda for sure, then Strawnilla or Frenilla.

Welcome to the family dragonflie!

Based on your likes Wakonda sounds like a winner for you. Coffee with cream and a hint of tobacco it became my ADV after a 6 month search.
Strawnilla is a creamy strawberry delight! Be warned that it needs to steep to reach it's full potential, but the wait is worth it!

One of the beauties of Clark's creations is they mix well together. Mix the fruits with CB (Creame Brule) or CLS (Custard's Last Stand) or Frenilla or NY,NY Cheesecake and you have a new creation.

Enjoy your journey and vape on! :vapor:

Welcome, dragonfire!
I'm going to chime in here and say that frenilla, especially after a good steep, is a rich and not very sweet vanilla flavor that just does it for me.
Raz cup, although it is pretty sweet, is a very well rounded flavor that I also love at the moment. Really can't go wrong with NT though, I've tried and enjoyed almost all of their juice [emoji6]

Exactly this. Welcome to the fam. I know you'll find something you love! Maybe get a sample of GCD or Doodle... Also, the virus was too sweet for me at first too...(for an ADV) but after a week or two, and after vaping wakonda for a few weeks, the virus really caught me... oddly enough, I now prefer the virus fresh, and dilute it down a bit...

Cheesecake is really good. I haven't tried one I didn't like yet, but some aren't my ideal ADV... Virus/wakonda are for sure and some others. I fully understand where you're coming from, in a search for a great flavor. I was there at one time too, and I know that you're in the right place ;)

Also, you should check out the banner bribe sticky and make the switch to NT official :D

Hi Dragonflie!

I would just add that the Virus is a bit too much for me also....but...I LOVE it mixed about 50/50 with Custard's Last Stand. Since the Virus contains flavors you like (carmel, nutty), may be worth a shot. For me, the CLS mellows it out and tones it down.

Plus CLS just mixes well with about all of the Nicoticket liquids, as well as being delicious on it's own. To me, it's a great one to have on hand.

Good Luck and Welcome! :)

Thank you all so much for the replies! I definitely have ideas for the next purchases. [emoji4]
Dragonflie, How long ago did you quit smoking? I ask only because you may be passing things off to your hubs that in a month or so you'll enjoy immensely.
You're right, I did not consider that. Its only been a week or so (?) of none at all... Before that was 5 or less a day. While some of them are most definitely going to remain his style, I can't give up on virus lol. Definitely thinking to give it a whirl with CLS. Think I'm going to have to down grade his 'freebie ' to just 'willing to share' lol.

When I figure out what this banner thing is I keep hearing you guys talk about I'll let you know lol (I mostly use tapatalk so I have no clue what y'all are talking about ).
