Hello All.
I am now at 6 weeks tobacco free (smoked for 19 years) due largely to vaping on pod systems (started with JUUL, currently using the Smok Nord and Vladdin RE to save some money with a refillable system and try new juices.)
I was hoping to get more flavor out of vaping, since only the Nord gives me a semblance of the juice’s advertised flavor (but even that is hit or miss.) I picked up a Voopoo Drag Mini and a Horizontech Falcon tank, and have tried about a dozen flavors now. Sadly, the only one I’ve been able to really taste consistently and fully enjoy is a pineapple turnover cake flavor. Every other dessert type flavor tastes like burnt hazelnut, and every fruit type juice tastes like a bitter berry scented perfume.
I know it’s not the devices or the juices, and that all those years of smoking have likely destroyed my taste buds (although I don’t really have that problem with foods), so at this point I am hoping my senses eventually recover and that i can find some juices in the meantime that somehow I can taste and love.
Happy to join this community and remain on the quitter’s path with you all. The fact vaping feels like a hobby with all the different devices and styles has really kept me engaged, and I thoroughly enjoy watching videos and reading about it. The posts in this forum have been really informative and guiding me along, so I appreciate you all. Maybe in a year I’ll know what I’m talking about and will look back at this post and cringe (but in that happy, nostalgic “watching old family videos” sort of way.)
