Are you new to vaping and trying to figure out how to choose the right vape flavour for you? You’re in the right place! Vaping is a great way to quit smoking, but choosing the right flavour could be key to your success. Studies have shown that vape flavours can be instrumental in helping people quit smoking. There are a lot of flavours available so it can be easy to feel overwhelmed, and sometimes what you think you might like or is popular with everyone else, might not be your cup of tea. Let's take a look at how you can narrow down the right vape flavours for you.

Deciphering what you like from the start

To start off, think about what types of flavours and scents you already enjoy in everyday things. Do you like tropical punch juice, or prefer to snack on sweet strawberries? Are you into icy mints or do you prefer sugary, hard candies? Perhaps you're actually quite keen on the warm, earthy flavours of tobacco that remind you of smoking cigarettes. Having an idea of your favourite flavours can be key to finding the right vape for you.

The same can be said with your favourite smells - if you've got a favourite perfume, what sort of profile do you go for? Something dark and warm or light and refreshing? Maybe citrus is your go-to that you can't get enough of. Using these as your basis can help you narrow down what sort of flavours you are more likely to enjoy. Remember, everyone vapes differently and everyone has certain flavours they prefer - what someone else enjoys vaping all day long isn't always going to be the same for you.

The type of vape flavour profiles

Now that you have an idea of your favourite flavours, let's look at the different types of vape flavour profiles available. Here are some popular vape types:

a. Fruity/Tropical - If you love tropical punch juice or are a fan of sweet, juicy fruits, there's sure to be something for you with fruity and tropical vape flavours, such as apple, strawberry, grape, mango or watermelon.

b. Icy or Mint/Menthol - If you like that icy tingling sensation on your tongue or the refreshing experience of mints, then look no further than an icy/minty type of vape flavours. There are many different options in this area from menthol to spearmint. The great thing with ice flavours are that they are usually combined with other flavours like fruit to give you a different, sweet option that's just as refreshing.

c. Dessert or Candy - If you have a sweet tooth, then dessert and candy types of vape flavours will be right up your alley. From jam desserts and sorbet to caramel and bubblegum, there are plenty of options that provide the same type of sugary delight as if you were eating it in real life. Many of these flavours cater to the nostalgic personality.

d. Tobacco - This is for those who want to keep it classic and have grown fond of the robust taste of cigarettes and cigars. Many tobacco flavours are available, ranging from milder notes like Virginia or American blends to stronger Cuban-style cigars. Some even include new twists that are enjoyed even by those not overly fond of tobacco like Cuban Crème and Liquor Tobacco. From sweet to spicy, there's a taste for everyone.

e. Beverages - If you're looking for something a little different, then consider vape flavours that incorporate beverages. From coffee to pop and cocktails, there are plenty of options to enjoy. Beverage flavour vapes have become exceedingly popular of late and many of the best flavours include remixed cocktails or cola and lemonade combination flavours.

Picking the right sort of vape brand

When it comes to finding the right vape flavours, it's also important to pick the right sort of vape brand. There are many different brands out there, from the popular mainstream ones to those that cater more towards specialised needs. Some offer tons of flavours while others specialise in a certain type of flavour profile - so it's important you find a vape brand that has enough variety for your needs and taste buds. No one wants to vape the same flavour every day, and rightly so as it could lead to vapers tongue! So giving yourself a few options is a great way to start.

Consider the strength, nicotine type, VG and PG ratio

One of the most important aspects when choosing a vape flavour is making sure you have the right sort of nicotine, strength and ratio. If you're a heavy smoker, you can start off with a level of nicotine that's close to the cigarettes you smoke, such as 20mg. This will make it easier for your body to transition from smoking to vaping. It's important to also consider the VG/PG ratio (Vegetable Glycerin/Propylene Glycol) as this affects the flavour, throat hit and cloud production. Generally, a higher VG content will give you a smoother vape experience with less throat hit while a higher PG ratio will give you more flavourful clouds. For new starters, we recommend 50/50 as it's ideal especially for Nic Salts, for a smooth but satisfying vape.

Time to pick your vape flavour

Finding the right vape flavour for you doesn't have to be difficult! Start off by considering what type of flavours and scents you like in everyday things. Once you have this figured out, look at the type of vape flavour profiles available and pick your favourite. Finally, it's important to make sure you have the right sort of nicotine, strength and ratio. With these tips in mind, you will be able to find the right flavours for yourself in no time!
