Welcome,
you have tried so called direct lung vaping, try mouth to lung which is more cigarette like. With that style of vaping you need more nicotine - 12 or 18 mg and different tank (maybe triton mini/nautilus v2). Go to the shop and ask to sample different flavor profiles. If you browse internet shops, you will notice that some of them have flavor groups: fruity/tobacco/custard etc. Remember, some of the flavors are overwhelming, like aniseed.
