If you happen to wander over to Paris, I am dying to try these. They look amazing. If expensive.

Don't get me wrong here: there is no issue
I just prefer a good quality VG base liquid as my ADV..
Apart from the big bottle of Grant's Vanilla Custard (great stuff) there are several others that I like very much, such as my bottles of the classical Boba' Bounty, Mewlew's Magic from VCV, Cinnamon Cookies from AtmosLab, and I could mention some more.
But I just don't like these flavours all day long. I think unflavoured base liquid is great! To me vaping is not only about flavour (at least this was not the reason I was smoking for so many years), but about the feeling of inhalation and throat hit, the warmth and texture of the vape, the crispy sound of a well-wrapped coil.. and of course the nicotine itself no? For me the aspect of e-liquid flavourings receives a bit too much attention in this world. There are so many great flavours in my food already. Why do we need flavours in our liquid? At least it is not where it all started with (for the most of us)..
So I happily fill my gear up with some nice base liquid everyday, nice and neutral to the palate, and once in a while I fill it up with some strong but good quality flavour. This is how I like it at the moment.
First I'd suggest that whoever you try, go with the sampler sizes first. I would suggest Ahlusion and Heathers Heavenly Vapes. And always sampler size bottles till you find the ones you really like.
Another thing I'd like to suggest - are you letting them "steep" long enough? Many liquids require the following: Take tops (including the dripper) off for 2 days, and shake them when you think about it. Tops back on and leave for a week or so. Try. If not good, leave another week. Many liquids are made just prior to order and they need time - like wine though not for as long as that (well...in most cases lol). This may take care of the chemical tastes you're experiencing.
You can also speed steep to see if that might help the juices you have on hand. Put a small bottle in a bowl of warm water (not too hot especially if they're plastic bottles. You don't want leeching to occur!) Leave till the water cools down, and then do it again once or twice. Try it then and see what you think.
The juice is always the hardest part of settling into vaping. I think we can all attest to that! Good luck!

I realize that a lot of people in the new member area are completely new to vaping but when you get the feel for it consider making your own juice. Its really simple and the cost savings is crazy. Wizard labs comes to mind as they have tons of flavor concentrates and you can buy your base liquid with or without nicotine to your desired concentration.
I guess that most people, trying to change their a smoking habit, will start with trying tobacco flavors. And when they find out it does not taste like tobacco, they try all kinds of other stuff until they find something of their liking.
But if you're looking for hard statistics on peoples likings I reckon that nobody has the answer. You could start a poll though..
If you know what you like, yes, but if you're still looking for something you like your initial investment will probably cause you more damage than first trying some premixed stuff to find that out. (been there done that
)You should definitely try mixing your own juice... I'm told ethyl maltol makes for a good sweetener. Maybe your steamy straight-vg experience would be improved with a small touch of sweetness in there?

Totally makes sense. With all those bakery flavors on your hot list, you should definitely check out Nicoticket. Grandma's Cinnamon Danish is unbelievable.
I did, both mixing my own juices and experimenting with Ethyl Malthol (trying to reproduce Ecopure Rich), and I learned three things from that:
- mixing your own juice makes sense when you know what flavour you're after, which you can not find on the marked or you cannot afford to buy on the market, (and yes of course mixing juices also makes sense if you love to fiddle around with flavours)
- that Ecopure is not easy to reproduce without knowing the tiny fraction of secret ingredients that are in it,
- and that EM is not what I like(d) about Ecopure. VG base with EM is not something that I fancy, it gives me a bad aftertaste.

Looks amazing indeed. They surely know how to build a quality imago.
Wander over to Paris.. Europe is not that small you know, although Paris is 'around the corner' for me it is still 500 kilometers (300 miles) from my place
But I like quality over imago (although they go together quite often). Any reviews on this stuff?

Sounds interesting, but I am quite happy with my clean tasting base liquids, and rather focus my spendings on some new gear for the moment..
