Any eliquids with consistent flavour?

This has been an ongoing problem for me since I started vaping. At first I didn't mind much because I was more interested in curbing my nicotine cravings and would only vape alcohol-free liquids, but got bored. The only issue I now have with the eliquids is the flavour varies. I've tried changing coils, so that's not the problem.

For example, right now I'm vaping alienvapour gorilla juice at 100VG at 6MG. At first I was really impressed with the flavour and got a hint of banana. After a few vapes it started to taste like RY4. I'm using an istick 30W and I'm constantly varying the watts to maximise flavour. Sometimes the flavour is awesome and other times it's just barely noticeable.

The weird thing is I get more flavour on the aspire nautilus than from the subtank that's supposed to improve flavour, but I find the aspire's airflow too restrictive. Can anyone recommend a good juice that delivers flavour on every vape? or perhaps a better tank than the kangertech subtank or even a tank with better airflow than the aspire, but with the same flavour output?

Thanks!

I'd recommend lower VG ratio for better flavor in those tanks, and better wicking performance too. I use 50/50 myself (12mg/mL nicotine).
I run my Nautilus Minis with 1.8ohm coils at 16W.
I also use the Kanger ST Nano, with 1.2ohm coils fired between 20-24W usually.

P.S. When the flavor changes after a few hits, it may be a sign you're not maintaining hydration. Drinking and vaping is a must!

Flavorings mess with your taste buds. The flavor that tastes good today won't taste the same tomorrow. If you vape one flavor it will mess up the taste of others.

If I go into the local shop and try a couple of flavors, I can really test 2, maybe 3 before I can't tell what any of them taste like. It also messes up the flavor of the one I was vaping before I went into the store.

I'm going to do VG/PG/Nic with no flavorings when my current ejuice runs low.

As for the Nautilus, spray bottle will do the same thing. Quit using it for a while and you're taste buds will recover from all the liquid they spray.

I've used 50/50 before but the PG makes me cough and I got a skin rash. I don't know if PG caused it but it went away after I stopped PG. Will 70VG 30PG give me stronger taste or does it have to be 50 or above?

I might try no flavouring too, go back to basic as it were

Anyway, for me even the weakest nastiest tasting eliquid smells and tastes better than any analog - just wanted to see if I could improve what Im doing

You should give the 30-35% PG blends a try, they should improve flavor and wicking in your tanks compared to MaxVG. I like a bit of throat hit myself, and I'm fortunate not to have PG sensitivity, but you should experiment with the ratio to find out what works for you.
