Maybe you're looking for the wrong thing? I mean you only have a handful of tobacco juices you like and pretty much any vaper will like the occasional tobacco juice no matter what their typical flavor profile is. Maybe you're just not a tobacco vaper? That happens to A LOT of us. I thought I'd be, but as it turns out I highly prefer very acidic tasting juices like typically acidic fruit flavors (oranges, dragon fruit, peach, but not apple. All apple flavors I've ever tried made my throat numb idk), or sweet and nutty flavors.

My advice is to try a more wide variety of juices. Also, try dropping your nic a bit when you can stand to. Very high nic content will alter the flavor of your juice. I vaped 18 mg for a while, and a 24 mg juice now? All I can taste is the nicotine (and nicotine does not taste very good to most people).

Yeah nicotine tastes like a mouth full of black pepper, will ruin a juice imo.

I would strongly recommend the Ripe Vapes VCT. I have the exact same profile as you with the tobaccos, and VCT is one of the best juices I have ever tasted. My second recommendation would be Alice in Vapeland's 15 Foot Falls. It's like S'mores with tobacco, marshmallow, a touch of coconut very yummy! You're off to a great start with some seriously good juices there.

+1 on Halo Tribeca
+1 On Nicoticket H1N1
+1 on Nicoticket Radioactive
+1 on Nicoticket Wakonda <------it's a short run, so if you want it, better get it now before it's gone

Halo Tiki Juice is also excellent e-juice. Try Smooth Criminal and Caramel Mambo from Ahlusion.

I also thought all I would like was tobacco juices, then I discovered bakery juices. I have to say that Nicoticket has some of the most amazing bakery flavors I have tried. Grandma's Cinnamon Danish, Creme Brulee, and Custards Last Stand are all excellent choices. Also Banana Foster from Ahlusion is a great choice.

I would have to agree with the others in dropping your nic level, especially on a KF+ with a proper coil. Not sure what you are using to vape but a triple twist of 32ga with about 6 wraps on a 5/64 drill bit is good for about +-1 ohm. It really brings out the flavor and the nic hit is a beast.

When I started vaping back in January the guy I bought my starter kit from also sold me a couple of tobacco flavors. After smoking cigs for 30 years I never thought in a million years I would like anything but tobacco flavors. I was totally wrong. I don't vape any tobacco flavors now. I absolutely love fruit and other flavors. I feel like I've progressed in vaping pretty quickly. Within a month I was rebuilding coils and within 3 months I was mixing my own e-juice. I still consider myself a noob with mixing. However, I am taking my time and trying flavors from different vendors and mostly stick with a single flavor in the mix so I can get a feel for the flavor by itself. My first attempt at mixing flavors was Capella Chocloate Cream and Capella Esspresso. It turned out great. You might want to consider looking into mixing your own e-juice. It gives you total freedom in every aspect of your e-juice. You pick the flavor, the nic level, the PG/VG ratio, you pick it all. I learned enough here in the DIY E-Juice Thread to get myself going. Mixing your own juice is as much art as it is science. I can't spend a lot of time mixing so I can see taking six months to get to the point where I am ready to make mixes with multiple flavors for a complex result. I really love doing it. I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination but if you want to talk about mixing via private message I'd be glad to help you all I can.

Well that's just fantastic - just when I thought I had my favorite flavors found, I apparently now suffer from RTBS (returning taste bud syndrome)!!!

I've now been analog free for well over a month and all of the sudden custards (that I used to hate while I was both smoking and vaping) and strawberry, maybe even vanilla and banana flavors taste well.

I just got a bottle of Ripe Vapes VCT and SB's Mother's Milk and I'm loving them both and they might just be winning the ADV fight with my Boba's Bounty. Why do I now have to start all over again finding my favorite flavors since evidently my taste buds came back......

Any other suggestions on what I could like?

Cheers,
Pete

So, I was wondering if you guys can help me determine what I'm really looking for by looking at what I apparently enjoy.
1) Boba's Bounty
2) Nicoticket Radioactive
3) Alien's Gorilla juice
4) Nicoticket H1N1
Pete

The only one I can comment on is H1N1, which I love.

Ahlusions Caramel Wild Wood is what I would suggest, it is absolutely awesome. And their strawberry/blueberry vanilla cakes are also really good if ya feel like a sweet dessert taste now and then.

Been vaping for a few months and lost my taste for tobaccos a while back. Bought some Juice Mafia peach tobacco after seeing some rave reviews a week ago and have been chain vaping it since. Really mild tobacco mixed with perfect peach. Will keep buying it...especially with their 2 50ml for 25$ deal.

I think you are still liking tobacco (with peach) :) I'm gonna check Juice Mafia out. Are there any more of their tobacco flavors you would recommend?

That's the trouble when tastes change. Yesterday's love is today's meh or blech. The only way I've found to avoid the latter is to rotate flavors throughout the day. I currently rotate anywhere between 4 and 8 different juices a day and have a legitimate rotation of 12 that work.
I have at least 6 flavors from Nicoticket and add in some combos of those juices, as well as 4 from MBV and 2 or 3 from Five Pawns that are in the rotation. If you count all the combos, like where I add Frenilla to a fruit(any vendor) it's possible I could easily come up with 20+. It's all about mood of the day, how much of a juice I've vaped recently, etc. Not too mention how juices can evolve with some steep time and turn into something absolutely terrific.

Stay the course, count your blessings your analog free and keep searching experimenting.

Good luck and I wish you all the best.

Thanks guys, I'm not sure something's up with Boba's Bounty, but I really can't finish my previously 100ml bottle........Something changed, either their formula, or my taste buds :-(

For the last month I've been in love with Mother's Milk and Ripe Vapes VCT. I'm trying other flavors but Mother's Milk evidently fits great with my taste buds. Any other suggestions for my messed up flavor profile?

Cheers,
Pete
