Ok I'm over three weeks without an analog now. I am totally amazed that I've done it so easily, thanks so much to Steve, Mark, good forum member advice, and the Vapor King!

My taste buds are giving me issues this week and it's sort of just a little bit making me want to analog it. 8-o Obviously that won't do...no no no it won't. I've come too far to go back. So here's the overview, maybe someone can help me figure out what to try next.

At first I could only taste and enjoy the very sweet stuff. Caramel, vanilla, chocolate, cola, etc. Coffee was my first vape, not sure how i'd like it now as it seemed harsh and bitter then, and RY4 was working for me too. Cappucino tasted gross to me, just scorched, no coffee or sweet to it at all.

Most of the fruit tastes were leaving me cold. For the past week or so I've been liking grape, black and green tea, margarita, apple, pear, doc pepper somewhat, trying to like the pomegranite, and absolutely LOVING the cognac.

Now the sweeter stuff tastes awful to me even though it's what I was craving. Right now all I want of what I've tried is black tea and cognac. Black tea is awesome, still a bit too sweet though. I'm getting ready to do a new order up and thinking it might be time to try a tobacco flavor? Or some fruits that aren't quite so sweet?

Anyone able to recommend an unsweet and definately unnutty tobacco flavor? Should I go back to coffee if I'm sick of sweet? How about Bud?

I have to guess other people have seen this kind of big swing in tastes as the tongue comes back to life after too many years of smoking like a chimney, or am I just a fruit cake?:p Either way I need less sweet advice please.

So presumably the Bud isn't sweet JenJen?
I think I've read that the 555 is nutty, I definately don't want nuts mixed up in my vaping, I can't even have nuts mixed up in my coffee. I wonder if I need the harsh right now of the m'boro? It's weird, any thought or hint of the caramel, which I adore, puts me right off. I'm delighted with my vaping of course, but annoyed that what I like I don't like at the moment. Grrrr!

Listen, Vaping is s beautiful journey, NEVER make decisions, early on, about flavors, cause your body is going thru changes.....remember puberty:pSman damn stuff. Get assortments, and ENJOY:D

It has a sweetness to it, but I find I like it when I am not in the mood for a sweet taste... does that make sense? ;)

I'm 3 weeks in now myself, and I've made similar rounds - I didn't like the tobacco types at first or coffee/cappuccino, moved over to fruit, (although I still do like the fruit ones) but I had a cappuccino left over, and found that I do, after all, quite like it. So my next order is going to contain cappuccino :p
I found the bud to have a sweetness to it, however.

I actually HATE the french pipe(the only thing I hate so far), one reason I'm a bit nervous to invest in the tobacco flavors and find they are in any way similar.

Personally I don't think the French Pipe is anything like the other tobacco flavors I've tried. The Kamel/M'boro/Cuban/Hilton are apples and oranges to French Pipe, so you may want to give any or all of those a try. I haven't tried the 555, Kant, or Parlament yet, so I don't know.

I think you would like Marlboro (Cowboy)..or Virginia, both smooth and strong but no nuts!
My tastes did the same thing, except for a while I couldn't stand anything but fruit! Now I am back to vaping all kinds of stuff, mostly Chocolate and RY4. But when in a mood..only fruit will do!
I have never been a fan of the tobacco flavors but I do like marl once in a while.
Happy Halloween!

Hmmm, well I ordered just about everything, some of that oughta work out for me ok no matter what my palate says by Wednesday or Thursday when the goodies come.

I almost wish I was a menthol smoker, everyone seems so very content vaping the menthol flavors. Of course, I was content vaping fruit and dessert until the last few days so who knows...

There have been great opinions offered in this thread though, I'm especially reassured to know that the french pipe is unique among tobacco flavors. I was scared afraid of the tobacco flavors, bleh I just hate the french pipe, although I know just about everyone else likes it.

Hey Blue Knight, gonna have to give the tequila a miss, vaping margarita cartos has ruined me for the real thing! BUT...hmmm hey Steve how about a lime flavor juice, would top up a dull fruit cart very nicely!

Taste buds to act up after a while. The way I fix it is with...

1 bottle of tequila
1 lime/lemon
Salt!!

LOL rinse and repeat till bottle is gone

actually Im having the same problem and decided to put my Kamel carts and juice up for a while because they both tasted like balloons to me. Kind of funny I guess. I have no clue on why I think they taste like that, prob short circuit in my head. LOL
