Used to use menthol analogs...

[jopo]

I always smoked menthol analogs, now that I have been vaping a couple weeks I'm not into the menthol flavors. Craving tobbaco flavors like crazy though! Anybody else experience this? Or is this just the 'natural' process of my taste buds coming back to life?!

I guess it's just different... I smoked menthol as well, and I vape fruity flavors!

I'm sort of a combination there! I started with menthol... couldn't stand the straight tobacco flavors. Then I moved into the fruit flavors... now I'm liking the fruits and candies and the straight tobaccos.

There's just so many flavors to try! The novelty may take a looooong time to wear off.

Oh...been vaping exclusively now for a hair over 8 weeks.

Way to go deejman!

I confess I'm not totally done with analogs..5 or less a day..and they are tasting nastier everytime! Yay! tried some blackberry, really liked it but didn't get that 'aaahhhh' that's it thing... Think that's the only reason I keep slipping the analogs in. Got some higher nic juice on the way, hoping that will do it. Really glad to have people who have been there, done that for support!

Like you, I have always been a menthol smoker. Like you, I despise the menthol flavors for vaping. For vaping, I go almost exclusively for coffee flavors.

From personal experience of being a menthol smoker, I found menthol was good, but I was able to experiment with tons of different flavors.

If I had to guess (which is exactly what I'm going to do, of course), it would be that your body is crying out for tobacco, and the vapable menthol flavors aren't much like the smokeable menthol flavors you and I remember. So that's sending you to straight tobacco flavor, which is a better facsimile.

Me too. I never like menthol cigarettes at all, but love vaping strong mint. I actually think it's better to vape a different flavour to what you smoke, it distances you from cigarettes more.

Roger that. At first I was trying to recreate my decades of analog smoking as closely as I could--cigarette-like PVs, cigarette-like flavors. At some point I realized vaping is fundamentally different; I couldn't do anything about that, but that didn't mean it had to be worse. Once I embraced vaping for what it is, as something separate and apart from analogs, cigarettes began to lose their grip on me.

I smoked menthol and I don't really like to vape menthol or tobacco. I actually kinda like the menthol but I have never found the right combo. I vape Atomic Cinacide or Tin Box Mint from Tasty Vapor. Awesome, strong stuff to combat my full flavored menthol cigarette cravings.

Right now EVERYTHING seems to taste like crap! Even BBQ from my favorite place!! Only had 2 analogs today though!! I'm not giving up, I know that 'right' flavor will be stumbled upon and things will smooth out...now ya'll have given me the gift of some new flavors to try! Thanks for the great tips and support!
