New Member and muted taste

[Mikey@Vaporized]

Hi Montana and welcome to AAEC
I also find it takes a little while for a coil to vape at its optimum - for me it starts to get most flavoursome after around 100 puffs, but will be varied with each individual coil. I'm afraid the only way to get to the optimum is vaping through it. All of what has been said already is great advice, just thought I'd throw in my 2p worth. Happy vaping!

I think after doing a LOT more looking, that a honey tobacco flavour would be good to try, as most of the sweet tobaccos have caramel and toffee in them , not overly keen on either, but I really like honey, so a really sweet honey tobacco flavour would be right up my street.Any suggestions ?

Many, many thanks for all the welcome's and replies, most appreciated.

Andy

P.S LATE EDIT I have also found with the Spinner that the closer to fully charged it is the better the flavour, is this right or am I supposed to get the same flavour throughout the charge of a battery ?

I think the affore mentioned Joose juice do it. I haven't tried it myself but I believe others here think it's really nice. Called Black Gold. Could be worth a try.

Hi there Montana & welcome. If you don't like fruits or menthols why not try something like butterscotch or caramel, they tend to be more of a rounded type of flavour than the fruits.

You can also find tobacco flavours with caramel or butterscotch in them which would be something a bit different, or even mix some of your tobacco liquid with caramel or butterscotch liquids.

Although a little pricey this place does quite a few supposedly very good & different types of tobacco flavours www.houseofliquid.com - only ever had the organic caramel & cream from here myself which is not a tobacco flavour but I must say it does appear to be in a class of its own.

I like you cannot stand menthol or peppermint flavours but I can use a spearmint which I mix with a little sweet cream flavour and that tastes rather like the murray mint sweets you can buy - actually am rather liking it more and more the longer I vape it.

Also, to stop the tastebuds from dying out on you ie tasteless juice after a while I have around 9 or 10 different flavours on the go and quite often get through 5 or 6 of these a day continuously swapping them about. You would need a number of tanks to keep all these juices in though which I have over time managed to build up 

Edit: Ooops whilst I was typing my post out you were posting yours about not liking caramel - so forget that bit about caramel up above

The JJ Black Gold flavour is more honey, and less tobacco. In fact, I can't taste any tobacco in it at all but after 4 weeks of steeping it is a rich full-on honey flavour now.
T Juice's Minty the Toff is also very much like Murraymints - I have some in my Kayfun right now

hi and welcome Montana +1 for the menthol - you can mix menthol basically with everything if you don't fancy it on it's own and it does help

*waving*hi and

I'm late to this thread so nothing to add.

Enjoy the forum and good luck with your vapeing

Oooo now I've got some of that Minty the Toff and I really don't like it very much I don't think it tastes like Murraymints, to me the toffee side of it has a burnt taste whereas I thought Murraymints have a more creamier taste to them, hence I mix spearmint & sweet cream to get the Murraymint flavour

Each to their own eh

Oh and just to add, I was going to buy some butter toffee and add spearmint which probably would be even more like Murraymints, but the butter toffee went out of stock at the time I was ordering my last lot of concentrates

Welcome Montana

I tend to vape one flavour for a few days, then it starts to get boring or lose it's appeal.

That's why I have lots of different tobaccos from Dekang and Hangsen.

Some are available from Mr e-cig, for the huge price of £1.50.

Today, it's been half Virginia and half RY5.

Welcome to the world of vaping. Greatings

Has anyone recommended SmokeRainbow to you Montana - apologies if I've missed it:

But it's a great way of trying a number of different flavours inexpensively, whilst you're deciding where your tastes lie.

Thanks a lot, I've just been watching some of your youtube videos , I maybe picking your brains after a few more weeks, but not to much , lol

I've just been reading a bit more on 2 subjects :- Steeping and PG/VG

I've read that are lots of ways to steep, not a problem with that , what I'm confused with is , it says "Steeping brings out more flavour".With a flavour that is mixed like a sweet tobacco , what flavour will become stronger over time, the tobacco or the sweetness ?

If I get a juice and it's not quite sweet enough and I decide to steep it, will it become sweeter or less sweet over time with the tobacco getting stronger over time.I hope I've explained myself properly.

With the PG/VG ratio I've read that VG is sweeter and imparts a sweeter taste to the juice ( I like the sound of that ) and is also thicker , with that again would steeping improve the sweetness or the tobacco ? Also is it ok with my spinner/evod setup and will it reduce my coil life ?

I'm sorry about all the questions , but I've really enjoyed vapeing so far and want to continue , just need to find the right juice and maybe one day get into a better setup, but that's a whole other bunch of questions.

Montana - the steeping process doesn't emphasise any particular flavour, but allows the ingredients to combine on a molecular level. I know, that sounds really geeky and naff, but it's true.
Two examples - firstly, a JooseJuice Black Gold which I got about a month ago. Tried some after about 10 days, and all I could taste was a chemical flavour, so popped it back into my vaping box. Tried it again last week, and what a transformation, loads of rich honey flavour, and a much more smooth and rounded taste on the palate.
Secondly, my Vanilla Custard mix - if I vape it after a week, sure it tastes like Vanilla Custard, but if I leave it for a month, all sorts of subtle tones and other tastes come to the front, and again it is smoother and more rounded, with less chemical taste.
Don't ask me why that happens, because I don't know, but steeping doesn't accentuate any particular area of a juice, it just allows it to combine properly.
