Just curious… According to Worldatlas.com the following is a list of the most popular fruits. Yet in vaping, strawberry is clearly the most popular. Why do you think that is?
Who doesn’t start with strawberries… and shrubberies, mixed with other shrubberies, only slightly higher so you get the two-level effect with a little path running down the middle… and then, cut down the mightiest tree in the forest… with… a Tomato!
Strawberry is the easiest and safest flavor to work with.
If tomato would actually taste like a tomato, i’d give it a try, but I fear it will end up tasting nothing anything close to that, not that most strawberry flavors or finished liquids do, but there’s a difference between it tasting like vomit or somebody taking a shit in your rda/rta lol
People do start with bannana. But it goes very wrong very fast with yucky tastes.
Watermelon is another challenge where it comes out weak and watery.
Orange has too many cirtus notes making them hard to nail a clean full orange without odd notes.
This is why a lot of people start with apples and strawberry. Yes, nailing the perfect strawberry (sb) is hard but their are a fair number of decent concentrates that get you a decent vape experience. Good luck doing that with orange.
in my experience (but then I’m English) everybody loves strawberries; but they all buy apples, bananas etc considerably more often, and in much greater quantities, because they’re substantially cheaper!
I suspect that list was based on what people actually buy, not on what they really like! By the same logic, sliced bread and potatoes would be amongst the most popular foodstuffs , and organic chocolate ice-cream wouldn’t get a look-in
Fortunalely for us, stawberry, raspberry, cherry etc, are every bit as as cheap to vape as banana! So , naturally we go for those pricey little berries instead.
Sigh … what’s the purpose of this? These results are just based on what the writer is after.
Here’s a flavor list where strawberry is on top: https://www.statista.com/statistics/280744/us-households-most-eaten-flavors-of-jams-jellies-and-preserves-trend/
There is no way that flavors that are popular for food compare in any way to flavors that are popular in vaping. You couldn’t pay me to eat an apple or drink apple juice, yet I like apple vapes a lot. And I love coffee so much I can drink liters in a day, yet I’m not really that keen on coffee vapes.
If you watch the worst flavors to vape series from Zamplebox on youtube, you’ll see that tomato soup was once in their list. It’s probably just a flavor that doesn’t translate well to vaping.
I’d also mention that tomato is the primary basis for many dishes in many countries. Just off the top of the head: Italy, Spain, Brazil, Mexico.
Americans love them on burgers, in salads, sauce on pizzas, and I enjoy them plain (sliced, with a touch of salt) from time to time!
So by volume, yeah, I’m not at all surprised.
But I’d also hazard a guess that strawberries might also be picky about the climate and soil. But I don’t know squat about farming. lol
Funny you say that. My very first orange cream pop was very good, shake and vape too. It gets creamier with time. So I thought, “how awesome am I ?” So then I try again, with different vendors and concentrates and it was horrible!! So was every one I tried after that. CRAZY MAN CRAZY
Yep! here in Britain, we only have home-grown strawberries at the height of summer. And if it rains too much, or at the wrong time, then the strawberry crop is ruined. The rest of the year, we have to make do with flavourless, insanely expensive imported strawberries. Or (more commonly) just do without.
True true. But then again in the almost 5 years that I’ve been vaping I haven’t tasted any juice that I would consider a counterpart to the real thing. Approximations and reasonable facsimiles are the best my palate has experienced.
