Flavours do not compute!

[hippy2094]

Hello everyone

Been vaping for about 6½ weeks now (complete switch from tobacco to vaping, no dual fuelling), one of the things I was looking forward to was trying different flavours, I've tried a couple which tasted great however I found myself really craving tobacco, this craving was happily fixed by switching back to the tobacco flavour liquid. It's like my brain doesn't associate those flavours with receiving nicotine, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and whether it eventually passed?

Yes,though I refused to use any tobacco flavours(couldn't find one I liked)and vaped fruit flavours mostly.I didn't try many different flavours until I'd found what nicotine level I needed(18 mg works for me)to cure my craving,then stuck with fruit flavours I knew I liked(banana/blackcurrant/pineapple/apple/orange)I do tend to use large quantities of liquids though,presently getting through upto 10-15 ml per day as this juice loses taste after about an hour so I end up sitting blowing clouds constantly,but as vapour is safer than smoke,nobody complains.

I used tobacco, blackberry or blueberry to make the switch until I was used to vaping, the blueberry liqua has a bit of a tobacco-esque throat hit so it was a decent step onto fruit and since then I have decided I no longer like most tobacco vapes and stick mainly to fruit or aniseed/absinthe flavours now.

The thing you need to find is what satisfys you, if for instance you are using a strong nicotine content and not getting the throat hit you may just 'feel' like you are not getting your fill

Been vaping for 6 weeks aswell , after a couple of weeks using tobacco liquid I started using juices other members of this forum had reviewed and now cant vape tobacco .

Crackerman I'm still waiting for the dislike of tobacco flavours and smells to kick in, I still find myself following smokers down the street to get a whiff of that smell I'm guessing 18 years of the same tobacco/papers/filter combination is going to take a while to lose. I thought I was lucky at first as the e-cig shop nearby sells different tobacco liquids and the one they claim tastes like Drum does actually taste like it (smells of stale cat wee but thats another story), but perhaps thats more of a curse if I want to rid myself of everything tobacco.

hippy2094 Through habit still find myself standing in the smoke hut at work, but as long as im vaping the smell does not bother me . on the plus side got 3 workmates move on to vaping .

yeah I've had this If i tried fruity flavours when I first started I felt like I was getting nothing so I had to vape tobacco and menthol flavours,
It does pass but I still vape a Sweet Tobacco Liquid called black fire from bestcigliquid its like bonfire night, some of my other favourites are black ice from Empvap fruit mix from Empvap and squid ink From MrKraken - it should pass in a couple of weeks just keep powering through with fruits and menthols or some toffee liquids

If you could bring yourself to liking menthol + tobacco like the old consulate e.g. there are quite a lot of those around, like "deluxe menthol" you could maybe search for

I got past the need for a smoke flavour really quickly so I was lucky, but found a lot of the liquids I bought weren't up to scratch in giving me a throat sensation or any sort of spin or even tasted of what they were supposed to "be on the bottle"

The ones which always "worked" were menthol types. There's stores on the net which give customer reviews of how they feel and taste. These are really useful if you live out in the sticks like me and have only the car-boots to buy from. They are always overpriced and never do the trick.

I had two suppliers of liquid until recently and from those two online stores only found 3 flavours I knew I really could use and know would work.

This has become 3 suppliers now and this last one has reviews from their customers as to how they taste etc etc I don't know if we are allowed to post store names so I wont do it.

I am smoke free for 150 days exactly and now find "old smoke" quite disgusting although I don't mind standing next to someone who's smoking, it's just the stale smell I can't bear anymore.

My latest liquids included black magic (blackcurrant) and angophora (weird menthol) limeball (very sharp tangy lime which I also mixed with the angophora and that was amazing) and one called Kanelsnegl and now my font has gone funny. Oh well. I will look see what I've done later. Wasn't as keen on the Kanelsnegl as the others but still a nice vape. OK that was paste as plain text fix. simpools.

It's a shame there are no clubs where we can share liquids or shops offering a 50p cart fill up - still wouldn't be any good here as there are no shops selling the stuff in the first place.

Just stick with it,I stayed on tobacco flavours for two months,when the craving for a tobacco taste didnt bother me I went on to flavour,as Hilary says menthol is a good start,
bubble gum and butterscotch are now my first choice ,but I still have tobacco now and again.
Don;t go mad like I did, and buy vanilla,chocolate, and the like [which I found tasteless .

As far as I know your nearest shops would be Swansea or Carmarthen, but possibly also Neath and Llanelli. Don't know of any in Pembrokeshire, or even Ceredigion. But Vibrant Vapours in Swansea and Carmarthen are both coffee lounges where you can try different juices.
