Depends on what you like. If you love coffee, there are some great ones. Same with sweets, from what I've heard. Tried a bahama mama from EC Blends today that was wonderful, if that's what you like. I'm currently totally addicted to Virgin's In Vino Veritas, with four flavors waiting.

Which is a way to do it. I've never had a bad vape trying all kinds of EC Blends. Stuff that wasn't my thing, but it was pretty consistently vapeable. So get a whole bunch of their little flavors and see if any of them suit you. They're $2.50 a pop so even a dozen won't kill the budget too badly.

Your local B&M can also be a great resource, if you have one.

The only thing I've avoided so far are actually the tobacco flavors. Haven't found one yet I liked, although I can not wait to get some Devil Dogs from Ahlusions. I've heard great things about them, but they take a while.

However, going for bad flavors is a great way to set yourself up for failure. If you get something you love, then you'll do it in favor of smoking, which is the idea. If you approach it as something I have to do because it's good for me and I'm only doing it as a way of punishing myself so I won't do something I like and then when it doesn't work, I can blame the tool or my willpower.

I am only vaping as NRT for quitting the stinkies. So I am not trying to go for great flavors. First thing I got was strait up menthol and boy is that gross first thing in the morning. Anyone else try the same method? Any flavors that will just want me to vape to get the nic?

I've seen many with the same thought process....maybe I should stay away from anything like what I used to smoke...Personally, I feel that if you find the flavors that you do like, you'll actually be setting yourself up to succeed and IF, you try to go back, the nasties will be of no comparison and taste like crap..as it was for me. What flavors would you be interested in (that you like)?

I would recommend getting some simple one-note flavors that sound like something you might like. I don't have the proper sense of taste to detect subtle nuances in juice, so I go for somewhat plain, not blended flavors.

Green Apple, Grape, Root Beer, and Cinnamon Roll are quite all right with me.

Hey, Trinip. Like you I'm just quitting and for now have no desire to become an aficionado. I just got my first batch of Unflavored 50/50 18 mg and I'm liking it a lot so far. Good full bodied throat hit and lots of cloud. I thought the taste would be too bland, but it's not. It has a mellow, barely detectable, sweet finish to it. And it's unbelievably cheap as compared to buying flavored juice from a distributer and it also seems a little stronger nicotine wise. Maybe because of freshness...I don't know. I also bought some spearmint and EM solution so I can mix up a batch of something just in case I want to change things up a bit, but I think the unflavored is going to be my go-to vape. As far as worst flavor goes I'm new to this, so I haven't tried much, but I did try a coconut cream pie flavor because hey, pie, but it sucked IMHO. Good luck!

I tried a Maple Bacon flavor at a local b&m that I initially liked. I got home, let it steep over night and the afternoon, then filled a tank up this afternoon.

It...was....AWFUL! I tried to power through at first, but after four or five vapes, I emptied the tank. It tastef salty, and like something else I can't put my finger on, but I got no maple. Now I know why everyone says to avoid bacon flavors.

Friends don't let friends vape savory liquids indeed.

The chocolate/hazelnut did it for me because it was like having dessert! I've only had three cigarettes since starting vaping and OMG, I choked so bad. I am still at 24%nic because I like the jolt it gives me. I also agree that unflavored may work for some who don't want the flavors. I smoke the same flavor all the time because it is easy and I might be a little lazy. But, it keeps me off the ciggies.Good Luck!

Sheeesh did anybody actually read OP?

Hansen makes a hot dog flavor.
That has got to be terrible

I think I may have confused people. However, hearing good flavors is good too, I can stay away from it. Hot dog flavor does sound gross, oddly makes me crave some Nathan's just thinking about it too.

I see the point from those who suggested going after flavors you like. However my vaping is not going to become another addiction. I am already down to under 3 mg, 1.8 ml daily, and 150 puffs average daily. It was vape or smoke used Korean cigs off the ground after 5days on the gum for me so I'm actually not happy with having to vape. It still means my 3 year old can see me doing things I don't want him growing up doing. But 29 days analog free says to me I am heading down the right path.

Honestly I would go for plain unflavored. While I can understand your point in not wanting to get uber involved with vaping, a really gross experience might be setting yourself up to fail. Something kinda plain and "meh" for the all day vape might work out.

Plus unflavored can be had super cheap compared to any flavors good, bad or indifferent. Win-win!

That said, for me the worst is any fruit mixed with menthol. Especially if it's a sickly sweet or sweet-sour fruit. Gross.

I don't know. I guess I don't see the point in hiding 'fact of life' things from kids. But then I basically grew up on a farm around horses and other animals. <shrug> My wife raised 15 kids (her nieces, nephews, then grand nieces and nephews) and has the same attitude.

Guess what I'm saying is if your kids never see anyone kiss, hold hands, have a beer, have a smoke, have a vape, drink a cup of coffee, laugh, cry, eat potato chips, drink a soda, chew gum, whatever your, "Oh, this is bad for you, you should never do it." things are and then they hit 18 and are supposed to automagically be able to deal with the big wide world, they're not prepared. As a TA in a university, I see it and it makes me cringe every time. But there's nothing to be done when they hit 20-21-22. It's too late to give them 'life immunization' by that time.

But it's your choice. I'd say if you want guaranteed nasty that will make sure you don't vape, then just go to the nearest head shop with the cheap Chinese stuff and get whatever flavor you think will make you gag. Pretty much anything I've gotten close to from that source is gross. If you want to teach your child how to deal with the choices people make, then let him see it. He'll learn that sometimes even dad makes bad choices, but he'll also see you dealing with the consequences and behaving in an adult way to make things right.

It's not like vaping is going to hurt him, unlike second hand smoke. Oh, sure, there are all kinds of 'studies' about x or y or z. Whatever. Don't breathe on him either, since there are all kinds of toxic chemicals in human breath. Or feed him tomatoes which contain nicotine. Or let him play in the dirt, since it has radiation and fungal spores and necrotic bacteria and ...

I understand what you are saying, but I would say, try to go for great flavors nonetheless... A gross vape will make you want to go back to cigarettes.

Flavor is a key component to quit for good.
