Horrible Alcohol taste with new e-liquids received

[Phoenix .]

I went through this once, I bought some tobacco.Old Holburn and Golden Virginia from Paradise Vapes, I use these in the morning when tobacco craving hits me, then vape the sweet one during the day this has done the trick for me,I use 8mg and don't inhale.

Hi Phoenix do you find they taste very similar to those tobacco flavours?

I'll give anything a try I really don't wanna go back to those nasties!

I've got 12 different e-liquids at the mo & the only ones that are working for me are menthol. After vaping something sweet I start to feel sick >

Hi Cornflakegirl

Hang on in there you're doing great!!

It seems fairly common, in the early days at least, that menthol hits the spot even for those that have never smoked menthol! Have you tried adding a few drops of menthol to a cartomiser containing another juice (perhaps one that you are not particularly keen on?) - I've done it a couple of times and whilst it sounds strange the results can be very pleasant! One of my favourites now is Apple with a bit of menthol in, really really refreshing! Having said that, our tastes are all different so what suits one person may not necessarily suit another.

Good luck xx

Finding liquids you like can be hard work, recommendations only go so far since taste is so subjective - and even more so when your tastebuds have to recover from being a smoker.

Many people rave about Paradise Vape liquids... I have tried over 20 and haven't liked any of them so far. Same goes for Grizwalds.

The alcohol taste does sound like the juices need steeping... you can speed the process up by letting them sit in a dish of warm water for a few hours (not sure if you need to leave the cap on or off for this). I have also read that tobacco flavours tend to need longer steeping time... not sure how reliable this is.

I have had a VERY hard time finding any flavours that aren't sweet that I like. I have tried a load of coffee flavours but they all taste like marmite (literally) ???, tobacco flavours I have tried all taste like damp hay to me .

Sweet flavours and fruit flavours I am fine with, I have found lots that I like and some that I love... but like you I don't really want to be vaping ice cream and donuts all day.

If your tastebuds are similar to mine you may want to look at some fruit flavours that are more fruity than sweet. If you have anything left in your juice budget you would do well by making the most of the offer that vapology www.vapology.co.uk/ has on at the moment, 10ml bottles for $2.49 (Forum thread - allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=suppliers&thread=8413&page=1#197443)

They have cherry liquer and Fruits of the Forest juices which are not sickly sweet at all, they are more of a tangy fruity taste. They also have some nutty flavours which I haven't tried yet.

Thank Jax I'll try that menthol method, hopefully it'll make some sweet flavours taste that much better

Cheers for the link Takshaka I'll give those a try. How long does it take to get your tastes buds back to normal? ???

I'm vaping black cat at the mo which tastes a bit like coffee to me with a creamy aftertaste, (i've nearly run out) I've had to let that steep though because it tasted rough at first. I'm panicking that I won't find an e-liquid that I really like & end up back on the nasties

7 days without the nasties & I really don't wanna give in!

Another tip cornflakegirl, always shake the juice bottles before you use them. sometimes the ingredients can separate a bit, so a good shake can make a bit of difference to flavour!
