Flavours help

[Deleted]

Hi all,

I'm not sure if I'm expecting too much from flavours

I'm using Ego-t with CE5 clearomisers, originally bought with tobacco flavours ( not really impressed with those )

So I thought I would try something different, fruit took my fancy and sweet things in general Never been a fan of menthol stinkies so didn't go for any of those.

So I ordered a few Grizwalds from Vapeescape. I understand steeping but I'm sure I read on here somewhere that the samples from Grizwalds are likely to have been made long enough ago not to require steeping.

Raspberry Truffle - Not getting much raspberry or truffle or much flavour at all. tastes a bit like the tobacco flavours I've tried.

Honey Beez - getting a hint of Honey but doesn't really do much for me.

Caramel Cappucino - some caramel coming through but not much else.

Citrus spring - a light slightly cool flavour but not really lemony.

Jamaican fruit punch - no fruit coming through at all.

So am I expecting too much?

Are all flavours fairly mild?

Cheers for any thoughts.

An afterthought, I smoke Amber Leaf rollies with filters which are a mild flavour for cigarettes.

Finding the right juice is probably the most difficult part of vaping!

Expect weird things from you tastebuds over the first couple of months, you've been killing them for years with burning tobacco, so it will take time for them to get going again. Any juice you don't like just now, keep hold of for a few weeks and try again, you may be surprised!

I'm not familiar with CE5s but some clearos seem to mute the flavours of juice so it may be worth trying a different delivery system, such as cartomisers or Vivi Novas or a dripping attie

Some vendors also do extra flavour

My Mrs has the CE5 and even though its better than the Ego cone atty, it's nothing special although it does come as standard with a 2.4Ohm atty so I wonder if the battery is getting the coil hot enough.

Upgrade to a Mini or Vivi nova. They are the same to use and fill so you won't find them hard to use. Also, I strongly recommend you upgrade to VV as just a few volts can make a world of difference.

Hi cornersruns, Grizwalds juices are generally one of the top ranking juices, so i would say your tastebuds may be-up-the-wall Tastebuds are a funny thing, ive made my own e-liquids from the best flavours money can buy and im vaping one of the cheapest juices available at the moment - greenmint from health cabin, cheap as chips but really enjoying it, so pop those juices aside, i bet you go back to them and have a different experiance from them in time.

Some people find that all these juices just don't suit at all. Full stop.
I never liked menthol cigs either but menthol is all I vape.
Try the flavours again in a few weeks as people say things may have changed.

You can get menthol/tobacco ( more like the cigs ) or just plain menthol.
You will probably find that plain menthol is nothing like a menthol cigarette, always worth a try.

Hi cornersruns, when I first began vaping, I bought a selection of Grizwald's juices and wasn't very keen on any of them so shoved them to the back of the cupboard and went on to try other makes. Weeks afterwards, I tried them again and I don't know whether it was my taste buds, or that they had had time to mature but they tasted so much better and a couple of those flavours are now amongst my favourites.

The Alchemist Cupboard make really nice, flavoursome liquids and you could also try Vapology as you can choose to have extra flavouring added.

I initially had a few probs getting some decent juices.I have 3 stable all day vapes,Grants Vanilla Cuatard,Alba Vapours Swedish Fish and Cherry Frost.I have about a dozen bottles of assorted juices that TO ME are absoloutly gopping,but others swear by them.I vape exclusively using Vivi Nova tanks,a 2.8 ohm atty head for my ZMAX and a 2.4ohm on the Lavatube.If i use a clearo on either then the juices tastes totally different,using the VN Tank i think for me gets the best flavour and vapour.

I agree. AND most of them are quite strong.

You know, call me a wind-up merchant, but I doubt anyone can taste anything even close to flavour-potential using a CE5.

I vaped ALL my griz juices (apart from the Vanilla/Tabac) on standard cartos.

I brought a vision V3 to life by putting in a 1mm wick doubled up then doubled up again,effectively 4 strands down the bowl and some Kanthal 0.20 wire,that may all be gobbledygook to you,but that things in a different league now

I have vaped the same juices in CE 5's and Vivis and, to me, there's no difference. But there again, as with the OP, maybe my taste buds are up the wall. I have to say, the Vivi has probably been my greatest vaping disappointment so far. Works fine, but I was expecting a lot from all I've read on here, and I'm not impressed. I'm not unimpressed either, but I think it's just reinforced my view that we really are all different.

Good thing too!
