Apparently I'm a fruit freak!

Gee, who'da thunk? Pineapple. "Smoking" pineapple. I DO actually like it!

And the Blue Water Punch is just the Shiz! I know imagine vaping those "other" flavors. A Fruity Cornucopia!

One tiny problem though.....when I placed my second order I got everything in Med-8MG, or "Light Flavor" cuz I thought I may be getting TOO much nicotine sucking so much on the full flavored stuff. But I'm finding the "lighter" flavor leaving me wanting for the more robust flavor "punch". It may not be so much a "problem" as the flavor is there, just not to the level that I got used to with the full flavored carts. I can only compare it in the Cherry Lava, as I started with FF carts and the bottle I got is LF. I'm guessing that the pineapple and blue water punch must have a stronger flavor in FF as well. I guess that makes sense, but I initially figured it only affected the MG level of the nicotine.

Any "sage" wisdom on this issue?

Thanks,
Steve

You'll find the amount of flavor varies greatly in all e-liquid brands/flavors. Many of us turn to DIY to increase/decrease/adjust the amount of flavoring or nicotine in our e-liquid. Nicotine content itself will increase the Throat Hit (TH) of the e-liquid making it more of a sharp inhale rather than smooth. If you find yourself craving more with the medium or light varieties you may want to consider sticking with the full flavor for a while. You'll find later that either you'll reduce the nicotine on your own or stay where you are with it, fortunately since you're not killing yourself any longer (don't forget my disclaimer at the bottom) it really isn't going to matter. Vape how you want to vape.

PS: If you have not tried DIY Flavorshack's watermelon yet, you are gonna flip when you do.

Yeah, you'll have to experiment. Some people find that the flavors are more intense the lower the level of nicotine you use...because nicotine does have a flavor itself and it can start to take from the flavor of the juice at higher levels. Different vendors and different flavors will all have different experiences to offer. Go out, see what you find...it's a wide world...it's amazing what you wind up liking (like vaping fruits).

Spliner, you dug that DIY watermelon, eh?

Thanks fror the reply Spliner.

I know there are going to be variances from one liquid to another, and so forth, but my initial presumption was that, for example, the 16MG carts in a given flavor and the 8MG carts of the same flavor would have the same level of that flavor, with the nicotine amount delivered being the only real difference. See what I mean? So I assumed that the Cherry would still have the same level of cherry flavor in High or Med. I'm going to order a bottle of the High (16MG) and "taste test" against the bottle of Med (8MG) that I have now. I didn't, and I don't equate the level of flavor with the level of nicotine.

I know the High gives me a stronger TH, but I'm fine with the TH that I get from the Med. I haven't found myself vaping more with the Med, so far. Only been a day.

There are a couple other places I found that I want to try liquid from, and will check out Favorshack. The watermelon overtone is one of the things I like about the Blue Water Punch, which I'm vaping as I type.

But overall, I'm really pleased with vaping over smoking. I don't get "cravings" to light up, which is very cool. But I'm going to get some bottles of these flavors I like so far in both High and Med and see what myself tells me about the difference it percieves of vaping each one. And I am watching to see if I end up vaping more with the Med than the High, cuz that's almost kinda self-defeating! But I notice I'm at about the same level, 3 to 4 carts a day, but it's only been one day with the Med.

Thanks for the advice, and I still gotta cop me some BF and "restructure" my carts. After all, what's the fun of having something great if you can't mess with it and make it greater???

Yes, only thing I have had that rivaled it was my own with LorAnn's flavoring. I haven't made it in a long time (been out of Watermelon flavoring). I am gonna have to whip up some batches soon and possibly order some of Dawn's too. Great stuff!

I haven' tried any of the fruit flavors yet, I'm still in my first week of vaping and getting accustomed to the differences and kicking myself for not ordering an extra battery...But I'll be fixin that soon enough. I'm glad you've found the vaping experience to be positive so far, I know I wouldn't go back unless someone paid me an awful lot of money (seven or eight zeroes after the ten would work at least for a day or two). But I plan on trying some of the sweeter juices down the road, once I get a bit more proficient.

Thanks geekdgirl. It's interesting that you say "Some people find that the flavors are more intense the lower the level of nicotine you use" as my recent experience seems the opposite. But I'm comparing full flavored Cherry Lava carts against carts that I filled with Light Flavored Cherry Lava liquid, so my data may be slightly skewed!

Yes, experimentation seems to be the go-word. And that's what I'll do. Having dug around the 'Net a bit there is a LOT to experiment with! And as I have just recently said, yeah, it surprised me that I liked the Pineapple Punch so much! And the Bluewater Punch!

There is an almost endless list of fruity type flavors, so I guess it's now a BRAVE NEW WORLD!!!

I know how you feel, I have kind of gone into my flavor frenzy myself. I personally and addicted to the Hawaiian punch from strictly ejuice. I am trying some others though. The options are almost endless with all the flavors from so many different people. YUMMY

I am glad to hear you are enjoying your vaping

[Whytlash]

Hey Spoontallica! I started with the Tobacco flavor, and it was okay, but I went nuts when I popped in a Cherry Lava cart! I understand there are places that sell much better "tobacco flavored" carts and liquids, but I find that I'm REALLY enjoying the fruit flavors.

I hear ya about the money thing, but I think that would be a tough decision for me. I like not poisoning myself with tobacco anymore. And I love that my stuff is beginning to not smell like an ashtray anymore. And that my mouth doesn't taste like an ashtray. And so on.....

You really should try some "fruity" flavors and see if you like it. I'm glad I tried the pineapple, after my intial though was that it sounded kinda weird to "smoke" a pineapple! And I HAVE to try straight Watermelon after the watermelon kick in the Blue Water Punch. That's why I think I'm becoming a Fruit Freak! I won't say anything sounds "weird" anymore, because I keep proving myself wrong!

And if you're vaping to get of cigarettes, BOOYAH! for you!!!

I have totally found that seeing the flavors out there and experimenting with juice has been a great way to explore and see what I like. For the most part, I've taken advantage of smaller sample bottles. Sometimes I find things to be great, sometimes not so much...when it's 3-6mL, I figure it's bearable to find some fails and either give them away or trade them off. It's still cheaper than what I would have spent to smoke during that time. Now, some companies, it seems the higher nic comes with more flavor...but as I've branched out, I've been able to find some no nic juices that are very satisfying...my experience tends to point to the presence of VG as a way to make no nic juices give more sensation despite the lack of nicotine (which tends to impact throat hit). I try to keep things as low as possible and did find that some juices at zero nic just didn't cut it for me...so, I continue my hunt...and have been able to stay low...though finding juice vendors that keep the levels as low as I like isn't always easy...
