Juices – Advice needed on what ‘not’ to try :)

[flimflam]

Hi,
Just finishing up me first Griz pick’n’mix and lookin for some juice advice. I’m busy ordering samples of different flavours and would like some advice on what to avoid

For me first Griz ‘tester’ I got:

Jamaican Fruit Punch
Apples’n’ Pears
Golden Burginia
666
Apple Tabac

The Jamaican Fruit Punch & the Apples’n’Pears are both quite pleasant and refreshing, though without much TH. They’re quite light and cool, and I could see me getting some more as kind of a ‘refresher’ vape.

Of the ‘baccy’ flavours though, I tried the GB first, and absolutely hated it, it actually made me feel a bit sick . If you’ve ever had ‘Jelly Belly’ jelly beans, there’s a popcorn flavour one that smells similar, and I find them revolting too. Anyways, I couldn’t even finish 1 carto of it. The carto was a goner too as I couldn’t boil out the smell.

I then had a sniff of the 666, and it smelt so similar to the GB I couldn’t even face trying it. I then moved on to the Apple Tabac, and while a lot better than the GB, it too had just a hint of the aforementioned jelly bean, so I gave up on it.

So my question is this, do all Griz / Vapeescape baccy flavours have this strange flavour? I know it can’t be all types of baccy, because I have C9V ‘Reds’ & Turkish Blend, and they don’t have it. Or is this maybe the ‘nutty’ flavour that some baccy flavours have in their description? In which case I’ll know to avoid them like the plague

I know everyone’s tastes differ, but if you’ve tried the GB or 666 you’ll know the flavour I’m talking about, it’s mighty strong.

Any advice appreciated,
John

Hi John

The GB and 666 are based on nutty tobacco's if that helps.

The Liquorice Tabac, Apple Tabac and Pipe Tobaccos are a different blend.

The Hangsen Tobaccos that Vape Escape stocks are Dekang based and so totally different in taste.

Some prefer one type and some the other, it's just whatever you find you like best yourself.

John
you will never get a juice to taste like a fag
and in time you will hate the taste and smell of tobacco.
when i started i was only vaping fruity ones,but like everyone told me my taste buds would change,how right they were,you mentioned that the samples you had from griz had very little TH? for me they are the best for TH bot i use 20mg and vape at 5V
ones i would reccomend are whiskey cream and cocomel to begin with
and these 2 juices mixed together are very nice too.
you will be amazed how things taste differently as you continue your journey into vaping
and you will be forever changing flavours,

[VE Jason]

That's very true.

Never throw any away John, because you may like it a few days/weeks down the line.

@river,
Yeah, I already don't like how real tabs taste, heh. The one day I lapsed a few weeks back (ran out of juice) I smoked 6 rollies and didn't enjoy them at all (but needed the nic )

jason,
Worry not, they didn't go to waste, they found a new home (with SamV in fact )

I'm just using a Riva with standard Boge cartos (from your good self) just now, and my C9V juice (RY4, Reds and TB are 24mg). BTW I'm thinking of trying out some of those Kanger horizontal coil cartos with my next pick'n'mix, do you think they'll be ok with 650 mah Riva batteries?

All the best,
John

[VE Jason]

Absolutely fine with the Riva Batteries John.

They are 2ohms so just the same as the Boge LR

It's hard to give advice on what flavours to try as everyones' taste is different.

I can't tolerate juices from Totally Wicked for instance, so I stick with juices from Paradise Vapes. For quite sometime, I've been vaping James' cigar & grape flavours.

Like Hissie, I also find it difficult to recommend or otherwise juice flavours . . . initially I was on a quest to find a ciggie like flavour, French Pipe & Golden Virginia from OK Smokey and TW Hilton all got me through the first few months of vaping very nicely.

Nowdays I mainly mix my own, but it's no secret Caramel, Butterscotch & RY4 are my favourite flavours . . . although some fruity flavours, namely Raspberry & Blackcurrant make a pleasant change.

I've just discovered that.

My first impression of Griz's Banoffee Cream was "Urgh! Too sickly", but now i'm loving the creamy vape it produces.

I also thought Arctic Cherry was a bit too sharp initially, but have now taken to it - especially as i've got a cold at the moment!

It's amazing how a little time can change a flavour from poison to perfection Ecig . . . although the reverse can always happen as well.

I'm enjoying Gold & Silver from Jason with some menthol mixed in. HATE the whisky cream yuk yuk yuk just couldn't stand it was sickly.........just goes to show how everyone has different tastes

Sue, if you have any of the whiskey cream left, offer it up in the classified section I'm sure you will get some takers

[Sue (AKA ) milosmum]

Thanks Chrissie will do that

Juices are like Marmite. The only real way to know if you like them is to try them. If a juice is cheap enough just get a small bottle or you could post in the classies for a swap.

I have juices which I loved when I got them but I'm not so keen now and vice versa, as others have said. I'll probably end up using them to make a vape cocktail when I'm running low.

And for the record I LOVE Griz's 666, I'm more a Snickers than a Mars bar kind of guy.
