crunchy Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Noobie here. Have been vape'n for about two weeks. I like it...I'm all in. However, so far out of all the nic juices I have tried, they all have a sweet taste. I keep taking an analog just to get a non-sweet smoke. I have dropped from 1.5 packs a day to 2 analogs a day. Is the sweet taste just the nature of the PG used in nic juice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 No it's just what most of the users prefer after their taste buds come back. The tobacco flavors don't really taste all that great after a while. What flavors are you using now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchy Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 So far I have tried HVY Shag tobacco, virginia, and VT cappuccino. (all from dietsmoke) I just got in 555 from awesome vapor and have been trying that. Still have Marlboro, ry-4 that I haven't vape'd yet. All seem to have a subtle(or not so subtle) sweet flavor.

Christopher Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I suppose many of the flavors do have a sweet taste to them but I've never really noticed before to be honest. 555 tends to be more nutty than sweet. I normally only use sweet flavors so I'll let other members chime in here on what they think is a good strong tobacco taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried the Awsome Vapor Menthol and its like double mint gum to me..I usally use that flavor.I have also tried 555 from AV also and its growing on me more and more..The apple is sorta weak to me but its there in hints i have reflavored the apple with several custom lorann flavors and it works good as a base..The RY4 is just to much for me.The Banana is cool as a short change of pace..The cool thing with Arno's juice is the free samples you get when order a bottle or kit..lets you try different stuff and get those handy 3ml sample bottles for carring around..I am curious about the marlboro tell me how you like it ...I was a menthol analog smoker because of the dry taste of tobacco flavors but since i started Vaping i am trying regulars in E-juice and am enjoying some of them....

TheSmokingMan Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 All of the e-Juices that I have tried have been sweet. I contribute that to the Propylene Glycol. PG has a sweet taste. I have never vaped Vegetable Glycerin, but I wouldn't think that it would have too much of a sweet taste like PG. Most of the e-Juice suppliers out there stock and market PG juices but there are some that have VG flavors. Making the switch from analogue cigarettes to vaping requires a different outlook on the flavor. You really can't compare the tobacco tastes to the PG tastes, they are a totally different set of tastes. Now that I have vaped awhile, I have come to appreciate several of the e-Juice flavors, but I had to throw out all of my opinions about tobacco flavors and come up with a new scale to judge them by.

jmhester Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I'm with you all the way on this one. All the juice tastes sweet to me, too. I've searched high and low but no luck finding one that doesn't taste that way. VG is very sweet when mixed with nic, even more so that PG. You might want to try 555 or Hilton. They not as sweet as most. Lots of people swear by Johnson Creek Original but it's too strong a flavor for me personally. I like to mix it with other stuff. I guess it's like smokingman said, you have to switch your expectations around a bit. Unlike most of these guys, my taste buds and sense of smell haven't come back. Maybe it's my age or that my wife still smoke analogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's my age or that my wife still smoke analogs. PG in and of itself is sweet, it is used as a sweetener and a suspension method for medicines in things like cough syrup. I agree that 555 is nutty at the start and kind of bitter at the end (Oh, the bitter end!), I am completely done with Johnson Creek, what a joke compared with Vapor Talk's Juice. Chris has it just right for me. I don't think your age has anything to do with it, if that really is your picture as your Avatar, you are in better shape than I and about the same age, I'm 41. By the way you look like Bill Clinton getting ready to beat Hillary's A$$ in that pic. Edited October 20, 2009 by TheSmokingMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchy Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Thanks all. I suppose the sweet is just one of the cons of the activity. Its still tastes good and I'm saving a bundle. Perhaps as the product popularity grows a non-sweet product will become available. Till then, I'll just enjoy the many flavors available and sit comfortably in the knowledge that my lungs are no longer being coated in cigarette tar.

Christopher Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 You know I just got a Kung Pow Chicken Flavor in the mail today. I haven't had the balls to try it yet, but if it isn't sweet I'll let you know. (Who would even think of such a flavor!?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had the balls to try it yet, but if it isn't sweet I'll let you know. (Who would even think of such a flavor!?) I think I would have to stare at the bottle for a couple days before I got up the nerve to try it too. There was a soda company a few years back that released a turkey dinner flavor. Just the thought of it made me gag. The company is one of those micro brew type companies. I am not sure if they were local or national. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmhester Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Man, that's adventerous! Kung Pow chicken! Totally Wicked has roast chicken flavor. GROSS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSmokingMan Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Man, that's adventerous! Kung Pow chicken! Totally Wicked has roast chicken flavor. GROSS! I have had "Smoked Meat" but I never thought of smoking meat! Kung Po Chicken is a sweet dish, so I would imagine that the e-Juice would be sweet also. In response to "crunchy's" question, all of the PG flavors are going to be sweet because the PG is sweet. I haven't tried VG (vegetable glycerin) but I think JMHESTER has, maybe he can tell us if VG is sweet also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasVapor Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Oh man, kung pao chicken is one of my favorite Chinese dishes. It's supposed to be spicy, but I guess some places make them sweet. Probably depends where you get it from. I can't really imagine how it would taste as a vape. Let us know how that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skwerl Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I started vaping last weekend and I really like the sweet aftertaste, so much so I got Cotton Candy niquid from electronicstix . The sugary sweet is so much better compared to the hobo's bunghole funk caused by analog smoking. I just spent the last 5 days cleaning all manner of tobacco riddled despair from every surface in my apartment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way you look like Bill Clinton getting ready to beat Hillary's A$$ in that pic. Actually, VG is very sweet. PG is supposed to be flavorless for the most part. If you don't like sweet vapes I can make a few suggestions: 555 - As some members have pointed out, its a tobacco based flavor, a little nutty, slightly bitter. Flue Cured - Heavy tobacco flavor, very rich. Slightly bitter. Vapor Talk Exotic Tobacco - Its like a blend of 555 and Camel. It has a good flavor with a slightly nutty flavor. Overall my favorite tobacco flavored vape. Hilton - Another good tobacco flavor. Slightly spicy. Marlboro - I think this tastes like an ashtray and have never cared for the varieties I have tried. Camel - Very rich, and quite spicy. Will stay in an atty forever. Good occasional vape. French Pipe - Just like it sounds. Smells and tastes like pipe tobacco. Hope that helps some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSmokingMan Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 French Pipe - Just like it sounds. Smells and tastes like pipe tobacco. Hold on a second, I smoked a pipe for years. People would tell me Man, that pipe sure smells good, I would always tell them "I wish it tasted like it smelled!" Pipe tobacco smells totally different than it tastes, it is definitely an acquired taste, it takes about six weeks just for your tongue to get used to the smoke.

There might be a few liquids that tone it down a pinch... but either you get use to it or you don't. And yes most glycols taste & smell naturally sweet even the lethal ones.(which most glycols are) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
