My first juice was a secret tobacco blend made up by my friend who clued me into vaping. He mixed it at Good Vapes, a store in Dallas. He advised me to stick with one flavor, to save money. At that time, I thought I only wanted a tobacco flavor. Now and then when he vaped, the air smelled really nice. To this day, he won't tell me what's in it. When you just vape one flavor, it starts to break down. After a few days it tasted a little soapy, a little like artificial maple flavoring, not much like tobacco, though it still made the air smell good, and reminded me of my friend. It was expensive though, so when I discovered ECBlends online, I abandoned "Mark's blend" and have never looked back. The first juice I selected on my own was ECBlends absinthe, and I still reorder it.
