Good post this.

No matter how insipid or crap a juice tastes, I don't understand how it could possibly compare with the crappy taste of fags.

I've been mixing my own for about three months and I'm still rubbish at it, and have yet to mix a juice which I've thought is great.

Some are quite nice, others aren't, but there's no way that a poor juice will send me back to the fags.

I never smoked for the great taste, I smoked for the nicotine.

And because it made me look cool.

yes spot thats why i started smoking and because my mates smoked, my biggest regret.
but now ive stopped, and now i vape,
and im looking for an everyday vape to enjoy, not dislike,
this is why i turned to vape cuz I heard of great tasting vapes.

What you've heard and reality are two different things.

Am late to this thread and there is a lot of good advice but is it just the taste? Have you tried upping you nic levels? Juices can taste different and it might sate your cravings. Hang in there mate.

Most important thing is don't leave the forum ...

Bomber have you tried any menthol? I really struggled to find anything other than menthol that I can vape all day. Everything else just tastes crap. Don't give up completely wait and keep trying, did you get some juice off Malibu?

Hi Bomber,
I totally agree with you!!!!!!! I stopped taking any notice of juice reviews because i never liked any of the juice the reviewers liked.
I posted a while back about finding the perfect Vape and i am still looking. I have come a long way and except that at the moment i will only be able to like my juice and not love me flavors but they are getting better. But i do enjoy my vapeing and the tinkering with coils and mixing now i like a few juices.
I mix my own and fined they are much better. Still not wow but i like them.
I only have 6 concentrated flavors at the mo, fruit ones, a mentholyptus and i have a tobacco flavor that i add to a few to give them a bit of bite. The menthol really does refresh some poor juices and your taste buds.
With mixing your own, i find i don't get that chemical come plastic throat ripping as some of the crap juice gives you.
About 3 weeks ago i was going to give in. I had had enough of hit and miss clearo and attys and terrible juice but i had heaps of juice i couldn't vape, brought and home made. I had one 30 ml bottle of home made juice that was made up of my mistakes.
I was that fed up with not having anything nice to vape i tried it and yes it was the best i had tried.
I used it as a base liquid till it ran out. I would add some menthol to a 5 ml base and then add more tobacco and blackberry to another 5 ml. This got me back into vapeing.
So i do think you will find a juice you can vape but when? that is the question Bomber. Will ya ever find the wow one, I'm not sure.
But hang in there and good luck with your next step.

Hi Bomber, sounds like you're in a bad place at the moment with Vaping. I've been vaping for about 9 months now and still have a few smokes here and there. The longest I've been totally smoke free is about 6 weeks. A few people have mentioned Menthol as a refresher to your tastebuds and I go with that too. I do still like a tobacco flavour so I always have some of Grizwalds "Menthol Tabac" on stand by and a day of that tends to get me trying other stuff again. The way I look at it is that, if I was still smoking at the full rate, I could pay for a 30ml bottle of juice and a clearo' every two days. Has to be cheaper than smoking at that level I'm not saving any money but I'm not getting further into Debt just to survive the days now!

My tastebuds go AWOL too damn often for my liking >

My fave vapes are Freedom Vape Butterscotch, Grizwald's Banoffee & GVC. I use zero nic in tanks, cartos & clearos & 5-10mg in 306 LR attie for enhanced flavour & a throat hit. Freedom Vape's Key Lime is sweet & sour/tart & very refreshing & I use this in the 306 to kick start the lazy taste buds so I can enjoy my faves.

I'd really recommend a go with the Bauway 306 LR attie + 306 drip tip which will set you back £6.28+£1.99 p&p from Vape Escape using 10% discount code allabout.

On the occasions where I can't taste anything much (including aniseed, peppermint etc) I vape the juices I'm not keen on & menthol just to enjoy the draw & exhale.

As others have suggested, combine small amounts of the juices you have & see if you find an improvement in the mix.

I found flavours that I liked in real life tasted rank whereas other flavours I wouldn't touch normally vaped well. I must have tried 30+ different flavours until I reached my 3 mainstays. The key for me is changing between them often so I normally carry three or four e-cigs with different flavours ready to go and just toot on whatever takes my fancy when I want it.
I also couldn't find a straight out of the bottle flavour that I liked immediately so had to mix different bottles together to get what I wanted. I now also mix my own so it opens up new options to me.
I hope you manage to get there with your flavour.

I spent so much on juices at the start.
I thought I had found my favourite vape in the first week, so I ordered 10 bottles at 30 ml and guess what, when they arrived I hated it.
I went though all the choc flavours, watched all the reviews and ordered and ordered, then one day I found a flavour I liked.
And it's all i vape now, then I started getting bad hit after bad hit with my Lava Tube..then I bought a VAMO and I love every vape and never get a bad hit...

I too was all about to start back smoking again, and I would have done if I hadn't got my vamo and the juice I now love.

I was thinking the same until I got my mini nova and grants vanilla custard. I love it and mix it with gv when I fancy a change

I have a lavatube right now and get alot of bad hits. Is the vamo realy that good

The vamo is excellent, never had one bad hit with it.
Best thing I have bought, and it was half the cost of the lava Tube

will say dont listen to reviews lol if you notice there all brilliant,there not exactly gonna say this is the worst bit of crap out! people here will give you here more of an honest headsup,if you want to listen to reviews listen as hmm maybe.
what a few have said here i will agree,kits!! yes they do improve the vaping experience a great deal,like you found juices just did not do it or they tasted awful,burnt or ripped throat to bit,head took off in cloud 9, i just bought a 100ml ofvirginia hanseng and to say its nice well uhmm no its orrible,compared to my own mix,same went for the strawberry,BUT i have some Cotton Candy so added some improved it....attys do come into it,found the much 50/50 viv nova worked well on my Spinner but horrible on the twist,but have found my fake gennys that tasted worse than burning garlic lol after i took them apart and redid them worked fantastic on the vamo i got ,so much i traded a Spinner on another forum for another one,kits do help,also so does making your own lowering my mg helped as well,plus i only use 100% vg aswell,with my Virginia/Cotton Candy Vg i get a smooth sweet sugar vape and i like it some may not ,i will try various other mixs after xmas,you will aslo find that different makes have a big variety in taste to like i did , the Virginia i got from exhale is lovely and as i said the hanseng is disgusting till i tweaked it ,but a decent kit will change a lot of way it vapes,and i have only been at this for 8 weeks lol learning a lot...especially the bit with the costly addittions ie Cobras ,Steam Machines etc,they may cost a fortune,but when you want to sell them ,there not going for much less than the original bought price,so in a way it becomes an investment

Why arent there more reviews out there that tell the truth?
"This tastes like floor cleaner" is so much more helpful than "notes of this on the inhale...notes of the other on the exhale"
I've found this thread very reassuring to read. I now know there is nothing wrong with me and it seems there is a lot of juice out there that maybe should be used to clean the floor

[lynwlt]

I love Marmite; it makes some people want to throw up.

Brussels Sprouts taste as if they are rotting; some people can't wait for them to appear in the shops.

I don't think the reviews are dishonest, just subjective.
