    bcartervol98 got a reaction from Tam in Taste buds destroyed   
    My all day vapes are Spearmint and Candy Cane (Peppermint) and I find when I change to any other flavor it tastes funny for a little while, but it eventually goes away. I had vaped Spearmint all day when my Candy Cane came in, then I tried the Candy Cane, and then went to try Blue Honey and dayummmm the Blue Honey tasted nasty. I switched back to my Candy Cane then the next morning I put on Blue Honey and it tasted way better.

    I think its kind of like brushing your teeth then drinking a glass of orange juice. That never tastes good. There are flavors that linger, and I would think anything minty or cinnamon would fall in that category.

    Not all CE4s are created equal. There are probably 10 generic knockoffs sold for every one real Vision brand CE4. It pays to do due diligence when buying things online and make sure they are for real. When you see a deal that seems too good to be true, like CE4s or other clearos for $1.50....it probably is too good to be true.

    VapeDudes Candy Cane 24mg 70-30

    Ok I am amazed how much I am liking this flavor. Again, just like spearmint, a "mentholly" flavor that I love. Tastes exactly like those peppermints you get that melt quickly n your mouth. Great vapor, taste, smell, this one is 5 stars just like spearmint. I would say as of right now, Peppermint and Spearmint will be on my battery 90%+ of the time. Great all day vapes for me, and both are 100ml at a time orders from here on out.

    VapeDudes Blue Honey 24mg 70-30

    I was soooo looking forward to trying this flavor since the reviews were awesome. Personally I think it should be called "Honeysuckle" because that is exactly what it tastes like. I love the taste and the flavor, only thing is it is a bit too sweet for me. I am gonna let this one steep a week or so and try again. Also seems like this might be a good flavor to mix with my tobacco flavor of choice. Of all the flavors i have tried, this has to be the sweetest tasting overall. A bit overpowering on the sweetness but a very nice flavor.

    The result of all this tasting and trying is I have now figured out what I like, at least for now. I think in order of how much I will use them, my rankings of flavors are:


    1. Spearmint and Candy Cane tie for 1st. VapeDudes 24mg 70-30 (Extra Flavor in both)
    2. Traditional Tobacco Sweet-Vapes 24mg 80-20 (Std Flavor)
    3. Strawberry Fields VapeDudes 24mg 70-30 (Std Flavor)
    4. Blue Honey VapeDudes 24mg 70-30 (Std Flavor)
    5. Juicy Peach Sweet-Vapes 24mg 70-30 (Std Flavor)

    Thats it, out of the dozens of flavors I have tried over the last 2 months these are the 5 I will be sticking with for now. I am stocked up on all and will not be trying anything else new until I have to reorder, then I may try a couple more.

    One to add:

    VapeDudes Fuzzy Navel (24mg 70-30) The thing about this liquid is it tastes exactly like a Fuzzy Navel, and I remembered I do not like Fuzzy Navels. If you do, you will love this one. You can even taste a hint of vodka on the exhale.


    Just ordered a bottle of their Blue Honey which seems to be one of their more popular flavors. Also ordered Candy Cane (Peppermint) since the Spearmint has grown on me so much. Will post review once it arrives.

    I havent gotten there yet, if I ever do. I am very very fond of Kanger T2s for cost and ease of filling, size, and cost of replacement coils.

    My place is very happy now. Laying in the cabin, looking at the super moon through a port window, a lot of drinks, and about to crash. Was a great night of music, dancing, great friends, and a strong strong buzz. Analogs all around me, not even a thought anymore. Think I will pop on my spearmint tank for a bedtime vape!

    Cant wait to get home from work, my first order of VapeDudes "Blue Honey" and "Candy Cane (Peppermint)" along with another 100ml of Spearmint are in my mailbox at home, or will be shortly. I did not like Spearmint when I first tried it, but since it has become my favorite.

    I got my spinners for $24.95 each, the 1300mah, from Sweet-Vapes.com. I would love to support local business but in my city of 100k+ there is only a mall kiosk selling knockoff 808 sticks for $40. As far as I know the spinner is solid state and cannot remove the cells. Two batteries of that quality for $50 cant be a bad deal though.

    I am a big reviewer and, unless like some of the places like eliquidmarket they "vet" their reviews before publishing them, they will respond. Personally I would just not worry about it, but I am fortunate enough for a $20 mistake to not be a big deal and not worth the hassle. Others may feel differently. I would just bash them everywhere you can write a review and never order from there again. I am feeling repetitive here, but for hardware you will not get better quality and customer service than from Brian at theveteranvaper.com. Like my 2 liquid suppliers, he is the only place I go for attys and accessories.

    I am not the guy for that advice either. I have used two attys total, the CE4 which I did not like and the Kanger T2 which I love.

    Another piece of advice. Dont get too hung up on finding everything in one place. I get my hardware from theveteranvaper.com, my batteries from sweet-vapes.com, and my liquids from vapedudes.com and sweet-vapes.com. I will stand behind any of those three sites 100%.

    I think what you are talking about is a "direct drip" atomizer where you drop a few drops in, vape it, then repeat over and over again.

    VaporLeaf shipping was fast, and they were very responsive to my questions. My only problem with them is the one flavor I tried from them is among the worst I had ever tried. Again, taste is subjective, but when I shipped all those I gave away last month to Tam the lid on the "Denver Dusk" had leaked a little and she even commented on the musty smell lol. I have stopped paying attention to reviews on liquids and each time I order my 100ml bottles of my all day vape flavors, I usually add one or two 10ml bottles of something new to try.

    Again I disclaim that, when it comes to flavors, it is extremely subjective. What tastes good to me is not necessarily what tastes good to others. A lot of people love liquids that I would not vape if I had a gun to my head and flavors I like others may detest equally badly. I gave away a bunch of flavors I tried and didnt like about a month ago after trying a little bit of everything. The only thing for certain for me is that Sweet-Vapes.com is my go to supplier for tobacco and VapeDudes is my go to supplier for everything else.

    For example I ordered some "Dekang" liquids after reading great reviews, and they tasted like moldy sweat socks smell. For me, finding the right PG/VG mixture and nicotine levels is almost as important as the flavors I like. I bet I would like some of the flavors I gave away had I not ordered 16-18mg and 50-50 at first. Live and learn lol.

    As far as tobacco goes, I have found FOR ME, the only one close to the real thing is "Traditional Tobacco" from sweet-vapes.com. I order it in 80-20 24mg. The American Standard from VapeDudes has a strooooong Maple Taste to it, and I am not a fan of their Classic Tobacco either. The only flavors I do not get from VapeDudes are Tobacco flavors and have found that Sweet-Vapes.com and their line of "Signature Tobacco" and especially their "Traditional Tobacco" is as close as it gets.

    For me the flavors I have in rotation are

    Spearmint VapeDudes 70-30 24mg (I never once smoked a menthol, but the Spearmint tastes almost exactly like double-mint gum and I love it, has become an all day vape for me)

    Strawberry Fields VapeDudes 70-30 24mg

    Juicy Peach 80-20 24mg from sweet-vapes.com

    Traditional Tobacco 80-20 24mg from sweet-vapes.com

    Just ordered 50ml of Blue Honey and Candy Cane (peppermint) from VapeDudes that shipped today, looking forward to trying those

    Just a note, when I found the tobacco I liked I thought I was in heaven. Then as time passed I have found I am not fond of the flavor of tobacco as an every day vape. I reserve that flavor for when I am drinking beer or liquor and really want a smoke. It works, and for me is the closest thing I have tried but I would branch out and try different things.

    My 1000mah EgoT batteries last about 24-36 hours and my 1300mah Spinners last about the same since i am using a somewhat higher voltage on those. I always wait until mine is fully dead to recharge although I remember reading the Lithium Ion batteries do not develop a memory. The way I do it now it is hard to tell though because I simultaneously use two now. My Spearmint, Strawberry Fields, and Peach I use the 1000mah standard batteries and for my Tobacco and Coffee flavors I use the Spinners. I usually have both loaded and switch between them. Seems like I am charging about every 3rd or 4th day this way, and still have one of each fully charged in my case when the other dies. Having 4 batteries really takes the charging pressure off. My wife has the same kit so basically it is like having 8 batteries but again, with as long as these things last I never have had more than one dead at the same time because I have chargers everywhere. One for the boat, one for the car, 2 at home, and my wife and I both keep one at work lol.

    Everywhere and anywhere. My productivity at work is far higher since my "smoke break" consists of me grabbing my PV and hitting the button. So far I have vaped in a hospital room with the permission of my cardiologist, in my office at work, in bathrooms at restaurants and on an airplane, in our "non smoking" condo at the beach, all places I would have to go outside before. I also stop at the store a LOT less.

    The thing I love the most beyond that are the "Man you smell a lot better" and my boss commented my office now smells like scented candles instead of an ash tray.

    Not something I have ever seen or used but that doesn't mean a lot. I have found the Kanger T2 to be my delivery system of choice, havent had any luck out of the CE4s and have used both V2 and V3. I am sure Vision is overall a good company, but there are way too many knock offs and cheap reproductions out there. In my opinion the best way to save money is to buy name brand products from reputable sources and for clearomizers and hardware I haven't found any better than Brian at The Veteran Vaper. There is a reason his CE4s are ~$5 and other sites can sell them for $1-$2 each.

    Have you tried the Kanger T2 yet? Also called the Ego CC Longwick Clearomizer.
