I usually only vape tobacco in the morning on the way to work and when stress levels peak. Most of the time it's sweets I'm vaping so sweets plus tobacco works a little better for me. I've never been a menthol or a reds guy if you will so Burley and Ice sound like two flavor profiles I didn't normally visit when I was smoking.

Gotchya.
I rarely vape Burley alone, but I really like it for mixing with other flavors to make my own 'bacco flavors.
The menthol in Ice is very subtle. In fact, for me, the only way I get any menthol from it is by dripping in an RDA. The 'bacco flavor of Ice is really nice though.
I wouldn't be afraid to try them if you get them as a sample!

Actually, that wouldn't be a bad sample, because I have everything else now. I really like White Beard and Blue Beard is growing on me.

It seems to me that VCV pays some attention to your orders when they select your samples if you don't request a certain flavor as a sample.
White & Blue are great! And they just get better with age, although GDJ might argue that Blue peaks and drops off at a certain point.

I'm looking forward to trying Caramel Tobacco when Blue is gone. We keep tobacco in the two Ecoms so I'll have to wait. Up to 14 Protank II Minis now for the food vapes and not sure I want to buy any more at this point. So now I need a flavor change strategy.

CT is one of the few I didn't care for. Surprisingly I like Caramel Swirl though.

Have you considered getting into RDAs? I recently ordered an IGO-W, and I'm hooked! So easy to switch flavors, I've been vaping a dozen different flavors per day, and different nic levels too! 18mg in the morning, 15mg mid-day, and 12mg in the evening.

I've thought about getting a dripper for sampling but don't know much about them. Don't you have to change the wick every time you change a flavor? I'm plenty handy enough to build coils but kind of avoided this area because this stop smoking thing has already spiraled a little out of control which my hobbies normally do :D Although I did find re-wicking protank attys therapeutic when the cravings came on.

That paragraph is me to a tee. As for the wicks, very east to change if you use cotton. I just started building coils and use cotton for my wicking material. I am still very new to this and will probably have a dripper this weekend. A lifestyle change has turned into something expensive, just like my other hobbies.

So far I've spent about 4 months of cigarettes on gear, only quit a couple weeks ago, part of that expense was wasted thanks to an unknown PG sensitivity. Really a drop in the bucket compared to what I've spent smoking all these years. But I'm curious to see how long all this Velvet Cloud juice will last us and then do some math. I'm hoping this doesn't reach the levels of my guitar or gaming hobbies.

Ha, I bet it does. I am down to a few cigs a day and chain vape when I am home. I still have a good supply with my last order, went thru 5ml of straw-gwab and am not letting it sit. My wife has dug into the summer something (very good) I will soon be into my 3 other bottles to try out.

Yep, to my tastebuds, it did.. Lost the honeyness & blackberry, and got more tobacco-y

I didn't care for an aged Night Shift, either.. And just recently I finished off the last of my Nutty Cookie, which was over 2 months old by then -- wasn't really digging it by that point, too much nutmeg and too nutty.. Sort of reminded me of Candy Bar


I think sometimes for some people there's a window where a flavor is really good (like all of those mentioned above), then just drops off the longer it steeps..

I suppose there's a flavor risk in stocking up on too much juice.. Can happen with any brand

I've only wicked my builds with organic cotton so far, but I can change flavors with no problem on the same wick.

Nice, I wouldn't have expected that. I might just have to try one of those out in the future.

Yeah it's surprisingly easy, fun even!
An Igo is very affordable way to start too.
I'd be happy to share the details if/when you decide to try it

I posted my entire build process a few pages back, so easy.
And yeah, now that I've figured out how much cotton I need inside the coil, it lasts several days and I just swap flavors whenever I feel like it. Might get a little mixed flavor for a few hits, then it just changes over, kinda strange.

I've been running a tricro coil for the past few days. If I Vape until I get a dry hit, then pop off the cylinder and look at the cotton, I'm amazed at how dry the cotton is. Kinda tells me how efficient the cotton really is.
If I'm drastically changing flavors, I'll drip some unflavored in between.

Oh, yeah.. Mixed Fruit Cup & Harvest Berry @ around 50/50 earlier today..

Like it much better than straight Fruit Cup!

That sounds good! I just tried FC again today after a few weeks, and I actually like it, lots of pear for sure, but I'm ok with that!!

My next mix will be strawb-gawb and Sour Skittles.
Even after a good steep, I'm not liking Sour Skittles much. Still has a purfumey taste to me.
