1. Sounds like you need something stronger, in a flavour you like. Pick one, any one. You can get all the paper flavours you used to use in a vape, obviously those tastes will be stronger than the paper was. I'd recommend a tobacco blend right now, something like Griz's Black Cat (Licorice Tobacco) or one of Froggie's baccy blends, or maybe a Brandy flavour (I know they're out there, can't think of the brand right now although hubby loves his Dekang Whiskey)

2. I'd be willing to bet my Vamo that the juices you have taste the same to you because your taste buds/sense of smell is shot from smoking. It will come back, and you will be able to taste the differences, but only if you can stay off the stinkies entirely for a while (up to a month, perhaps longer).

3. Don't try to recreate your smoke in a vape, it won't happen. Sounds like you need something smooth, but with a good hit. And a lot of nic. Something smooth at 36mg perhaps. Any ideas, you high nic users out there?

Edited to add: Please don't feel bad for smoking along with vaping. Many, many members dual-fuelled for a while, some for a long while, and some have done for years. Count the ones you don't smoke, not the ones you do. You've come a long way already, you should be proud of yourself. The rest is just tweaking it til the stinkies fall away naturally. And if they never do, then they don't. Just keep on keeping on.

Frogster sells them Dave, best price I've seen at £1.25 for 5 x 10ml. He's unfortunately out of stock, although he does have 5ml bottles in for £1.10 for 5. www.thealchemistscupboard.co.uk/Other_Products/cat1708885_1597340.aspx#

I got mine from Liberty Flights when they had a 30% off deal, £1.75 for 5 x 10ml here: www.liberty-flights.co.uk/product.asp?id=26 30ml, 5ml and 100ml also available.

Not necessarily Sue. I bought 2 bottles of PG and one of VG, but because my nic is PG based as are all my flavourings I ran out of VG before I'd finished the first bottle of PG. Depends on what PG/VG mix you like, and what base your flavourings use. If your flavours are PG based that's 20% PG or thereabouts right there, and if you're mixing at 24mg say that's another not-far-off 50% PG. PG doesn't cost much anyway (bit more than VG though), I had 500ml Pharma grade off eBay for about £8 delivered.

I agree with Sister Perpetua mix up 5ml of each of your flavours in your preferred strength (that calculator is brilliant btw).

Once you've given them each a taste, you can try mixing them together. Mixes that come immediately to mind:

Cappucino & Vanilla
Chocolate & Pecan Pie
Chocolate & Amaretto
Cappucino & Amaretto
Golden Virginia & Vanilla
Chocolate & Vanilla

Try mixing them at 10-20% flavouring tobegin with, depending on how strong they smell. You can always add more flavouring, or add pre-mixed flavourless if the taste is too strong,

Oh, and get thee a notebook, and use it. I failed to do this and now can't remember any of the tweaks I made to any of my recipes

I use Q=tips for that Karma, easier than fiddling about with tissues. A box of billions of 'em (it seems like) for 99p from Savers chemist or Home Bargains or similar.

And make sure the atty is screwed in firmly (if it's a rebuildable one) and doubly make sure you've screwed the mouthpiece in - they are not just a push fit like an ordinary drip tip/mouthpiece, they are threaded and need screwing in.
