I tried a lot of different juices when I first starting vaping eight months ago, then I found my all-day vape and pretty much use it non-stop with about fifty unused flavors sitting in my storage drawers. Once in awhile, I take a few vapes of a different flavor, but not often because none of them ever hit the spot as well as my all-day. Last week, I decided to go back and try a few of the ones that have been steeping for months. I don't want them to go to waste, so I promised myself I would vape one stardust or kanger of a different flavor every night until I've tried them all. I did drip taste almost all of them when I first got them, but they have steeped since then and my taste buds have changed. I figure at the very least, I'll get an idea of which ones I can mix with others to make new flavors.

I found a butterscotch that I didn't care for at first, but now love, love, love. I have been vaping it all day with a couple of swedish fish breaks. But the amazing thing to me isn't how much I love the butterscotch, but how amazing my all day vape of Fiddle Faddle tastes after vaping the other flavors. Suddenly, I can taste the pecan saltiness so much clearer than I have been able to for awhile. I've heard people on here say this before--changing up your flavor can wake up your taste buds, but I didn't realize how much difference it could make.

Anybody have a lot of juice sitting around that they haven't tried in awhile and want to do this different flavor every day experiment with me?

Today's flavor was Buttery Nipple from Vapor Dudes. Yum. Tastes just like a butterscotch hard candy. My all day vape is Fiddle Faddle from Kick Bass Vapor. Buttery, caramel, and salty pecan. The Swedish Fish I used a couple of times in between is also from Vapor Dudes. Tastes just like a red swedish fish.

I have a rotation of five. One is my first vape, a knockoff of my original brand called Kamel made locally by a brick and mortar shop. This was my only vape for months until I discovered Highbrow Vapor. Then I discovered HHV. Now I have four of Heather's flavors in my five. Shadowfax, Dragon's Fire, Gandalf, and Heavenly Tobacco (which is like RY4- but SO much better!)

I've been vaping for over 8 months myself. My first favorite from the start was Smokeless Image's Ice Menthol, quite possibly because I had been a Marlboro Menthol smoker and the Ice Menthol helped make the transition from smoking to vaping easier. I still vape it occassionally, and it has been the only menthol flavor that I like, although I have tried many others since.

My all-time favorite is Virgin Vapor's Kona Velvet Milkshake. If ever I had an all day vape, this would be it. I rarely tire of it, and it usually is included in my rotation of 2-3 flavors a day.

My favorite flavor niche are the coffee flavors, and I have several. Vaperite's Organic Double Espresso and Organic Kona Cream, and Copper Creek's Coffee are among them, as well as some from Dark City Vapor.

I also have a few fruit flavors that I like to use for some variety. Highbrow's Orange de Sangre and Vape Dude's Fuzzy Peach.

To mix things up, I like Mad Murdock's Radiator Pluid and Virgin Vapor's Red Hot Cinnamon.

A couple of points can be brought up here. Many flavors require some steeping to reach their full potential, and will not come close to being as satisfying upon delivery as they will after a week or two (or more) of steeping. Also, vaping the same flavor for more than a couple of hours straight will cause flavor over-saturation to the palate. Mixing it up will allow you to fully appreciate your favorite flavor(s) by breaking up the monotomy of tasting the same flavor day in and day out.

When i first started 2 weeks ago,first one i ever tried was tobacco flavour,he gave me a test taste and i almost puked,so i took home the mocha and been loving it ever since.Then 3 days later i didnt like the mocha,switched to watermelon,found it almost tastless and dindt like it,now 2 days later i like it.I think trying different flavours are important to get the full experience from vaping.Ive got 10 flavours right now and 1 flavourless which i like too.I dont like any thing over 6mg and all my mixes are 70/30.

I love fruit so I bought a lot of fruit flavors when I started, but I didn't like any of them. They all tasted like perfume to me. I'm looking forward to trying them now that they have steeped and my tastes have changed. I do have Fuzzy Navel which I use sometimes and it's a delicious combination of orange juice and peaches, just like the cocktail.

Baditude, I have a Caramel Cappuccino that was pretty tasty. I'll have to break that one out and try it again soon.

I'm taking my big bag of about 40 juices with me to Indy this week for Christmas vacation and plan to rotate through them all as well. I am hoping to clear a few out by the next few weeks so my wife will let me order new ones!

I tend to vape sweet flavors in the morning. When I head off to work, I vape
more tobacco-y/cigar-like/cigarette-ish flavors: Torque, Dark Horse, Huntsman,
etc. In the evening, I go for more relaxing tobacco flavors like those in the
Heather's Heavenly Vapes extracted tobacco line, such as Gollum, Serendipity,
Pirate's Booty.

On the weekends, it's the vape buffet. That's when it's time for feetball or a
movie, and all of the steepers come out of the closet. I grab a clean atty and
anything goes - store bought or DIY. Those that make the grade get vaped
the next week. Those that don't get sent back to the closet.

So, I probably vape at least five flavors each day - and some of those, only
once or twice a week. There are some days I may vape as many as 15 flavors,
especially if I have flavor block.
