When I first started looking into all this e-cig info and accessories, flavors, etc. I kept reading and hearing people say the phrase "all day vape", but I didnt really understand what would make one flavor just an every once in a while flavor, versus what would make another flavor an all day flavor....

Then yesterday I finally received the first order of e-liquid from about 5 different companies that I have ordered from in the past 4 days. It was supposed to be a standard menthol tobacco flavor, or at least thats what I thought it was going to be, but it wasnt that at all! Its K-Max Menthol from Vermillion river e-juice, and its very different from what I expected. It doesnt taste or small like a Newport, or any other menthol cigarette ever made! It has a nutty, caramel-ish, buttery flavor with a little menthol. When I first tasted it, I was like WOW! I then tried it in my new LR atomizer and my new LR Smoktech cartomizer, and it was strong tasting in those 2 devices, so I went back to the 1.1ml tank in the Ego-T, and kept smoking it on and off for the next 2-3 hours.

But then I suddenly got sick of it.... Its so rich and sweet that you can only take it for a certain amount of time before you dont want to taste or smell it again for a while! I think that is the definition of what DOESNT qualify as an all day vape! Its just like food. There are some foods you really like every now and then, like Greek Baklava, but they are too rich for every day eating.

So far, I havent tried that many flavors, but I got 2 more orders today, and I've tried 2 of the 5 of them. One is honeysuckle, and its another "non-all day vape". Its too sweet and rich for all day. So far I like a good menthol, but that could change as I try more flavors....

I'm afraid I am going to have several more "non-all day vapes", because I've ordered some sweet flavors that are on their way here! Like Tiramisu and cappuccino....

Hi, Highlandernorth. When I first started vaping, I loved this caramel type tobacco flavor that I thought was the bomb. After a couple of weeks my taste buds changed (due to not smoking analogs) and it wasn't so great. Then I started checking other tobacco flavors. I thought I had to have something that tasted like an analog. I heard people say they loved sweets and fruits, but somehow that just didn't sound appealing to me. Finally a friend online told me to try a sweet flavor, which I finally did try and I was hooked. But the sweets were too much for all day. Then I got into fruits. Have you tried any fruits yet? Some are quite nice. I liked pear alot and some banana flavors, but the banana got old. Right now my all day vapes vary between a few flavors. I enjoy my DIY Pina Colada (but I use pear instead of pineapple, with coconut and sweet cream), and vanilla cream from Clouds of Vapor. Some vanillas are good but they have to be sort of potent to enjoy them. I suggest you try some of those type of flavors maybe to see if you like them? The sweets are a bit too much for all day to me.

Oh, and some blueberry is good depending on the vendor. I do love the Clouds of Vapor Boca Breeze. It's a blueberry flavor with something extra. Now I also have ordered a grape I'm wanting to try from Smokeless Image. I'm anxious for that to arrive. I don't care for cherry (cough syrup flavors), or alot of other fruits. The creamy vanillas and my creamy pina colada with a tad taste of coconut is really good though. And the funny thing is I don't like pina colada drinks. lol. Anyhow, I hope this helps some? maybe? You may find once you have an idea what you are looking for, you might be better off making it yourself.

My all day vape is a 555 from TVR that I enjoy first thing in the morning, at work, after work, and when I'm just sitting around at home. Of course I mix things up, but always have it with me. I'm lucky that I found this juice early on, it's nice to know that I always have it around. In the beginning I got excited about sweet juices but quickly learned that they were not all day vapes for me. I really like semi-sweet tobacco flavors and find them to be great all day vapes.

I vape a lot of fruity vapes, but most of them aren't what I would consider to be all day vapes for me. I love so many of them though, so i switch around quite a bit. Flavors that are too rich or too sweet typically aren't good ADVs for me either. My main all day vapes have been:

Serenity from Rawr - its a very natural raspberry flavor blended with coconut creme. Its not too sweet, and the creamy coconut part of it makes it smooth enough to be extremely enjoyable all day. Its been an ADV for me for the past few months now, and still not sick of it.

Tea vapes - i have a few, but I have found these to be great all day vapes. Green Peach Tea specifically from Rawr is at the top of my list. It tastes EXACTLY like real green peach tea, and is very pleasent vape. Its another easy all day vape because it doesn't have a really overpowering sweetness, or super strong flavor behind it. I find a lot of the tea vapes to be like that. They sent me a sample in my last order of Green Pear Tea with menthol it in...surprisingly refreshing vape! I wouldn't have thought to add menthol to the tea flavors, but it really worked with that one. The pear gives it a very crisp flavor, which is complimented nicely by the coolness of the menthol.

A new one I have tried, also from Rawr is Fiery Nuts. Its a natural cinnamon (not the red hot candy type) with a smooth nutty undertone. Its another very smooth vape and awesome flavor, I've been vaping that one non stop since it arrived last week, and have a big bottle on the way.

I would order more fruits, but what scared me away from fruit was the awful raspberry flavoring I got from Totally Wicked with my kit. So I have subconsciously avoided fruits from then on! I will have to go somewhere good and try a few out.

The first year that I vaped I had a hard time finding an all day vape. By the second year I was getting to the point where I had all month vapes. I got into DIY and ended up creating a recipe that I have been vaping on for close to a year without the desire to even try anything else.

I was a menthol smoker for decades. But neither menthol or mint worked. What did work was cinnamon in place of the menthol. My blend is a mix of a sweet fruit, a citrus, a light tobacco and cinnamon. 50/50 36. Once in a while someone hands me their PV to try out their newest favorite juice and it does nothing for me.

I wonder if it's like my addiction for Kool's? Is this flavor now associated with my new addiction? I could smoke a pack of newports or something similar when I smoked, but it wasn't the same.

The only true all-day vape I have is Ry4 from VaporEscence.com. It doesn't taste like tobacco (to me) and really doesn't have much flavor at all. I think that's why I like it all day - because it doesn't have enough flavor to get sick of it.

I think that's my main requirement. I've got juices that I like, but the flavor just gets old after an hour or two. For example, I love Highbrow's Orange de Sangra, but I can't vape it all day.

Oh and one more thing. The Ry4 is clear and doesn't get gunky and thick in clearos and tanks, which means it's low maintenance and doesn't require cleaning the clearo or tank very often.

The other juice that could be an all-day vape for me is Dark City Vapor's "Creamy Joe". I love it, but after a couple of tanks, it's getting pretty gunky and has to be cleaned.

I don't have an all day vape and I'm no longer looking for one. When I first started vaping and quit smoking I thought that's what I should do, as with the brand of cigarette I religiously smoked, I needed to find that one juice I could "smoke" all day every day. Later, I realized vaping and smoking are very different experiences. I have a bunch of different juices in my "rotation" now and I enjoy them all. I don't vape any of them all day, or even necessarily every day. There are a lot of tasty juices out there, why limit myself?

Its funny, I had forgotten all about this til now, but when I saw you mention RAWR vapors on your post, It rang a bell, and I went back to their site to take a look, and I knew I'd been there before, then I saw one of the sampler packs and I remember ordering that "most popular sellers" sampler pack, but I never got any emails from them, so I forgot all about the order, and I have since ordered from like 6 more companies, so it was forgotten.

But then I went back to my online bank account and found the money that had come out of my account to pay them for an order on 8/20, so I went back to their site and signed in, and turns out they just now sent it today(8/24), but never sent me an email about any of it!

So I am getting Strapple, Green Peach tea, Hawaii Sunrise, Antidote, Truth Serum

I have tried all sorts of flavours these past few weeks, and I have found the citrus ones to be wonderful for all day vaping. So far my favourites have been : Dyno Minty and Orange Scream, both are from Jughead Juices in Canada. Right now I am trying out the coffee flavour and it is definitely richer than I am used to.

It has been truly fun to try various flavours, never knowing for sure which one will become "the One"! My success so far has been the challenge of experimenting, keeps me going and keeps me vaping.

Good luck and welcome!:thumbs::thumbs:

That's too funny, wonder what happened there!? I'd definitely suggest letting truth serum steep a bit, that one needs a little more time than the others to come together IMO. Antidote is awesome, great vape. Green Peach Tea is another favorite of mine. I loved it right out of the mail, but it definitely got a lot better with time, which I couldnt even believe! I hacen't tried regular strapple yet, just the cinnamon strapple, which is another amazing one. (Just got the cinnamon sampler, been in heaven with those juices!) I haven't tried Hawaii Sunrise yet either.

Hope you like your new flavors!

I got a couple of sampler packs with my starters kit from Smokeless Image when I started vaping. The only flavor I cared for was the Ice Menthol, possibly because my analog of choice had been a menthol. Soon I started getting samplers from different juice vendors, occassionally finding a juice I liked enough to order again in a larger sized bottle. However, I still vape the Ice Menthol, often my first vape of the day.

Over the course of a few months now, I've found maybe 3 or 4 flavors that I could vape the entire day if I needed to. However, I do like variety. I have a few flavors that are so different that they are only used occassionally just to break the tedium of my usual rotation of juices.

I have discovered that my specialty niche are the coffee flavors, and I am forever looking for more quality coffee-type vapes to add to my collection.

I still have to try my Nuport from Aromaejuice, and from Joogler juice Ive got Clint Vapewood(LOL), cappuccino, another menthol. I am letting them all steep tonight before I try them. I am also letting my 3 bottles of honeysuckle steep too, as I got each in a different nicotine ratio and different PG/VG ratios too, so I could gauge which ratios are best.... But it turns out honeysuckle is kinda too sweet to vape for too long.
