I have to say for me that it has very little effect - analogs had more suppression. I just finished a 2-day fast and was vaping all throughout and it didn't help a bit...

yknotagain Super Member Verified Member ECF Veteran

Hangtime Super Member ECF Veteran

My appetite is way better but for some strange reason I still lost weight. Maybe because I am more active now.

Chocolate Tobacco Vape by Element

The first e-liquid that I trialed was the Chocolate Tobacco by Element. I really had high hopes for this as it was described as a tobacco flavour with an after taste of chocolate. I found this vape flavour to be confusing to my taste buds.

Cali Colada Vape by Liquid State

The second flavour and one that I couldn’t wait to try out was Cali Colada by Liquid State. The Cali Colada flavour is a pina colada flavour with a mix of mango. This taste was the one that I really thought I would like, and one that didn’t completely disappoint.

St. Louis by El Diabo

If you’re a lover of all things fruity then this is another vape to try. The St. Louis by El Diablo blends an initial hit of peach with a late pineapple hit and then a raspberry hit that comes much later, and slight and delicate. I really liked this one, and prefer it to the Cali Colada.

Streek by The Lost Fog

Another favourite flavour of mine is strawberries and cream. How can you go wrong with such a British staple? You can’t. The Streek flavour by The Lost Fog is a blend of handpicked Gaviota strawberries and Greek yoghurt. There is a creamyness and tartiness to the flavour, but it is one that works quite well.
