Hi Smackedeye, You should find candy flavors available in just about any of the healthfood stores local to you. I use Bickfords found locally (only the ones that do not contain oils)as well as the VG for my own diy projects. I grew up in Savannah, I still miss cruising Riverstreet... I agree with most here the "taste" for me is more the smell and sensation associated with vaping. It sounds better/more descript to call it taste for me. Are you still using attys? If so try a low ohm atty see if that makes things "pop" a bit more. The standard ones that are included with the kits are pretty non-stellar. Also I do recommend picking up some boge2 ohm cartos to help free you from those finicky carts if you havn't already. Good Luck. Happy vaping.

i would say that maybe your taste pallet might not have enough to taste the faint flavor of the juice. What where you smoking before you made the switch. I won't make any guarantees or say your broken because I don't actually know for sure. However smoking does mask and or damage your sense of smell and that directly affects taste, and vice versa. So do you think it is possible that your sense of taste is dulled from smoking. I will also say that the flavor of some juice is faint in the mouth and really smelling it adds to the taste or flavor. Also it doesn't taste anything like how terrible analogs taste so if nothing else at least you don't have the film and the wicked nasty cig or tobacco residue flavor. Hope you find your flavor my friend!

I also seem to have issue's with flavour. I'm relatively new to this as well..... roughly 2 months vaping now... Never got anything off off the joyetech ego-t tank system, have switched to kanger h-coil carto's and get some warmer vapor, and occasionally, some flavour. Still pretty faint though....but what a treat it is when I actually get some taste!! I am going to try DIY to hopefully improve on the flavour side of things..... Other thought I had is maybe a variable volt mod may help for the taste. Still learning as I go, haven't tried either yet, so don't know what is going to work best. Just thought I'd throw it out there that the kanger h-coils did give me some taste. Maybe other carto's would too....don't know, as the kangers are the only one's I've tried to date....

ok so i got my Flavour art in today mixed up about 4 of them..and what a waist of money lol I got.. vanilla ( good) Coffee espresso ( so very strong but good with the vanilla and i can taste it in the back of my throat !.. it is an improvement none the less haha)
umm Oh Apple Pie ( not very good all i can pick up is the crust..) Beer ( ok i knew this was going to be a HUGE fail but i just had to try it..it is "beer-ish" but all i can say is i will have a new bottle when i dump it out and soak it clean lol) Maple Syrup ( so much fail that i cant describe it..im thinking burnt tires bla!)

and a few other ones that i more than likely wont even mix .. i will be looking in to other ones .. capellas you said?.. gonna try them now

have a super weekend


Kewl ......... Flavour Art has a very good rep for their Tobacco flavorings, but I found the fruits, candies, etc to be very hit or miss. Most of their fruits have a very strong perfumey tone which is no bueno :p .. I liked Flavour Arts Cookie (strong), Pandoro Bread, and Butter. Grape, Pistachio, Lychee, Lemon, Croissant, Pear were all fails to me, and I have a few more that I never bothered to mix because they are all fruits.

I will probably mix those into 70% VG mixes because I do find that VG tends to smooth out perfume or chemical notes in flavoring .... anyhoo, good luck with making some juices that you can actually taste ;-)

I got my Capella's in today and I must say this more like what I was expecting for flavor taste/strength, based on my limited use so far. I mixed a few drops of Tangerine in about 10 ml of base and was not disappointed-definitely tasty and vapable, even though not quite perfect. I have only tried a few times before this using other brands and didn't have any success. So anyway, I am looking forward to trying the other Capella flavors. I wish you luck. Cheers.

Hi all :) complete noob here.. not even over analogs comletely, but almost. If I didnt see them around, I would never pick one up. I really have gotten to where I prefer vaping and have tons of reasons to quit analogs. Flavor is a big one with me too though i havent tried any DIY..lol. I have tried ordering tons of little bottles from anything recommended by forum people. some i could taste, some not. I heard from a few places it had to steep for weeks before it would have any taste. Does anyone know about this?? LOL.. or am i just holding on to a bunch of juice that is all the same.. and will never be any good. ? I have found a flavor enhancer at a local smoke shop that if I add a few drops it will taste like spearmint, or cinnamon , or whatever..lol.. I have stayed with vaping spearmint but it dilutes the nicotine I am sure. thanks for the info. :)

well i am noob too, but have been making my own juice for a few weeks now,
its not so easy,
roxannes yes steeping makes a huge difference, I had juice that didnt taste right sit for a few weeks, vaping it now its totally good
I dont know about flavor enhancer, but I do use ph-minus, lemmon, em sweetener to help getting more flavor

I dont always taste flavors either, they say pg helps for flavor, but I like high vg juice better
but I wonder if its the atty, the carto, the battery, or just having a blah day...it could be anything

just keep going, every day spend vaping is a day without analogs :)
