| A friend sent me here to see if ANYONE had the answer to just WHO has the best e juices for FLAVOR. Now mind you, I have flavors coming out my ears from freedomsmokeusa, from juicy vapor from EC juice. And NONE of them have what I'm looking for. I want *taste*. I don't give a rats patootie about throat hit or anything else. I want taste. But even some of juicy's best flavors, (ecto plasma, river of slime, tigers blood, honey badger) go flat after a few hours. Nothing I've tried has been able to keep me more than a couple hours in the taste department. And juicy has had some of the best. Freedomsmokeusa has good prices and ships a LOT faster, but the flavors go flat faster. (And I've *never* been able to find a decent Pina Colada. *sigh* Help? |

Generally, what it says on the label are exactly what it tastes like. However, it's currently $20 for 30mL, so it's not cheap...

| LMAO! Mints in the carto would be fab if I didn't despise menthol (sorry y'all) But I'm a fruit/dessert/sweets vapor. I don't mind asking around. Hex, took me over a year to find a unit I actually liked more than 2 hours. (I'm vaping with a Inferno by Volcano with either an 808 or 510 smoov carto) Volcano has great flavors but they go flat.. *moderated sad face* |

| I often toss an altoids mint or cherry lifesaver in my mouth while I vape.
Some might wisely consider "Low Calorie" mints

| This may well be my problem with flavor loss. I tend to vape..well.. constantly. It's like the way I used to smoke. *Grins* I'm ADHD so I *have* to have something to do with my hands constantly. And now, I vape constant. The good thing is since I started to vape, my nic intake is down from 24mg to 14 so at least I'm making progress. |

| Assuming the known "taste is subjective...";
I just got some juice in from RAWR vapor and it is the best liquid I've tried taste wise yet (almost a year now).
I see you're not a fan of menthol, so you'll need to deselect that option when buying, but I'm telling you now, his liquid is like getting face fukced by fruit.
I've only tried Truth Serum, Hawaii Surprise, and Poison (this one's an aquired taste).
Good luck! |

| I've found that if you think you are making progress, then that's progress.
Keep up the good work. Back off on the quest for The Best. You won't find it

| I suppose "The Best" isn't available. I just want something that is TASTE, ya know? If I'm vaping more than a couple hours then after the 3rd hour STILL wanna taste it.
Billsr.. My local vape shop will be working with RAWR soon so I'll have to ask her to get some without Menthol Or just order it for my damn self |

Waikiki Watermelon, Ecto Plasma, River Of Slime, Sweet Tarts and Gummy Bearz. But none of them are flavors that LAST more than an hour or two. I suppose I should rotate more often yeah?
ETA.. oh and Sour Pink Lemonade. YUM.. but I'm out *moderated sad face* |

| Yep, I think rotation is key. I typically have 3-4 cartos filled at a time with different flavors. |

| cause their zombie licking good..  11 herbs and spices and all that..
I really have to use a good bit flavoring in my e-juice to get much any taste and like you it dissipates rapidly..I find even menthol and mints do as well...Ive always wondered too why vaping flavors doesn't carry anywhere like foods..I think condensation plays a roll in it to some degree because a new carto seems to carry a good bit more flavor at least initially..

When I smoked, if I ran out and had to bum one, I would have done without rather than smoke a menthol. That changed when I got my first sample of icy lemon drop and berry berry cool.
I'm not a chain vaper anymore. Berger Is right about the red hots. And, I seem to have a more dead tongue than he does. (Possibly because I live with a numb face and that includes a portion of the tongue) icy lemon drop (hellavapor) loses its flavor slower for me. Then I have to lay off it for several hours. If you like wintagreen lifesavers then try JC's apple winta-green. That one has yet to lose flavor for me. Both are from hellavapor. Everyone thatposted before is right on - Flavor rotation is key.

| Have you tried any Halo juices? if not, might be worth trying their sampler pack. I find Halo to be quite different from most juices out there. Don't get me wrong, I like lots of different brands, it's just Halo is different somehow.
P.S. some folks love it, some hate it...subjective and all that

| As Hbomb on TVN says "If you vape you must hydrate." Make sure you have a drink handy if you are hypervaping. This will lengthen the amount of time before flavor numbness sets in. I usually have 3 tanks filled with different juices that I rotate thru fairly often when I'm vaping hard. Out of the 20 or so flavors I have tried so far all of them are susceptible to flavor numbness. I've discovered a quick rinse with Listerine "wakes" my taste buds back up. |

You are right, hydrate.... vaping really dries you out. I carry a water bottle around with me everywhere now. |

Needless to say we all got the lecture about putting on other people's hats. That little problem never came to our house again.
