When it is bad, it is very, very bad.

So I got my new passthrough and with it, three new bottles of e juice. All of which were free with my purchase and thank god for that. I am still a wee one with all of this stuff so I don't know what I like best but wow - I know I hate these! Of the three flavors and only one is really tolerable. That one is peppermint and I think we can all agree that flavor is never going to be an all day vape so I am in a bummer of a spot. I don't have anything to really use throughout the day and there are oddly no places in Atlanta to buy e juice. Well, some of the smoke shops carry disposables and such but not a real shop that is close to me.

I am not sure how these two awful flavors will help me moving forward with the exception of knowing to never come near them again. They are not complex enough for me to say - "oh well, maybe I don't like vanilla much or cherry undertones are just not for me" but I will keep searching and with some luck I will find a good all day flavor and I will find it very, very soon.

horkus1, a lot of us veteran vapers never find an "all day vape." Instead, we rotate around during the course of a day. Today, I've vaped Vaperenu menthol, Mt. Baker White Out (a blend of aniseed and spearmint), Mad Vapes Key Lime Freeze (lime and menthol), Dekang 555 (a hazelnut flavored sort-of tobacco) and Mad Vapes cherry limeade. Vaping is not smoking, where you stick with one brand and configuration (for example, Marlboro Ultra Light 100s).

Well, you know you like peppermint. Maybe you'd like other mint flavors (spearmint or wintergreen) or menthol. You also might want to check out some fruit flavors. Some folks like bakery-type or dessert-type flavors. How about a coffee-type?

Sadly, you'll have to order online to find good selection. I suggest you read through some reviews of both flavors and online suppliers, then order a bunch of samples. Most vendors have 3-10 ml. sampler bottles they sell for very little.

Mostlyclassics, I am getting that even this short into the whole thing. I am definitely shaping up to be someone that, to my surprise, likes to change flavors frequently. I was also surprised to find how much I like fruit flavors and on that front, I have been happy with what I have. I love the ones that are not too candy-esque and I am really excited about trying more in that arena.

I do want a sort of regular tobacco flavor that I can go to when I am craving an analog though. That is going to be a tough one from what I have read (and just experienced) but I am confident there is something - somewhere - that will hit that sweet spot when I really miss my cigarettes. That need may go away as I get further and further away from my last analog but for now - DAMNIT! :p

Thanks so much, Glasseye. I am going to check that out.

there are a lot of vendors online, they make and ship juices quickly. i'd recommend checking some of them out. i really like mt baker vapor personally, but i still have yet to find an all day vape. b&m stores are nice since they let you try out flavors, but for selection and price, i buy from online usa vendors

    No one on here ever mentions Johnson Creek but I love a bunch of their VG flavors. Tennessee Cured is probably my favorite tobacco flavor I've tried yet, and it might stay that way. Doesn't taste like my old cigs (which is actually a good thing) but it's close enough to tobacco that it's what I always vape with coffee.

    Also their Vanda and Ranier are good vanilla and cherry flavors. Get the little 5 pack sampler and try a couple others. Good luck

    I gave up on trying to find an all-day vape. Just bounce from flavor to flavor many times per day. Keeps things interesting!

    When I want an analog taste I go for Halo Sahara. Very dry, non-sweet taste that hits the spot for me. It's one of the few juices that I always keep on hand and will reorder it when I run low even without a coupon code (perish the thought!).

    A big +1 to that. TN Cured is another that I always keep on hand. And I also vape it with coffee -- the two just go so well together.

    Don't care for others from them (other than Original), but they did a very nice job putting TN Cured together.

    Go to: Handcrafted E-Liquid and E-Juice

    I have bunches (maybe 30) of juices from there and have never had a bad one. I highly recommend Grey Matter signature to come off smokes. It has that "neutral/smokey" feel to it without any nastiness of tobacco and a nice flavor but no one can decide what that taste is. If you like cool.. his Ices are just awesome. Read reviews when you get there. Best advice I can give.

    Thanks for all of the helpful advice/suggestions. It is a lot of fun to look around and try to decide what I want to try next. The only problem is the vortex that is the internet; I decide to look around for a bit and then realize it is many, many hours later. :)

    I have heard great things about Highbrow Vapor and will be ordering from them soon.

    On a happier note, I am diggin' my new passthrough. Charging and vaping - Weeeeeeee!

    Welcome horkus1 !
    So sorry that you have no juice you like yet.
    But, you will soon have so many choices of flavors, just make sure you get enough nic to satisfy your cravings.
    Suprising that there are so few local vape shops in Atlanta...expect it in the boonies where I live...but Atlanta ?

    Drink plenty of Water- Wishing you The Best !

    Thanks for the lead. The mysteriousness is almost too much to resist and while I know they are working that angle all the way, I am still intrigued. Not expensive either. Hmmm...

    I know! Isn't it weird? We have plenty of head shops and they seem to be bit anti-vaping. There are a couple of straight-up vaping shops that are oddly way out of the metro area. I just don't get it.

    Is there a particular reason to drink extra water?

    Hi there and Welcome to ECF, Horkus1:D

    It is odd that there are not a lot of vape shops in or near metro Atlanta. I used to live there 7 or so years ago, and know there were a lot of head shops. I figured they would have converted to vape shops to keep up with the times. I figured there would be something at least in the Little Five Points area, but I digress.
    I kinda rotate between 2 flavors now: A Caramel/Butterscotch to go with my morning coffee, and Ecto Gamma (which is kinda like the Ecto Cooler drinks back in the late '80s/early '90s) to satisfy my sweet tooth. I also tend to like more of the sweeter tastes. I tend to look for new flavors almost every 3 weeks or so, just to try different things.

    Oh and the extra water is to keep you hydrated. Vaping does tend to dehydrate a person, which will also cause your taste of the juice to start to be different.

    Hope this helps and keep on vapin :vapor:
