E-cigarettes provide smokers with the chance to make dozens of choices. People who’ve been smoking tobacco and menthol cigarettes now smoke cherry, strawberry, apple and coffee e-cigarettes. They can change those flavors every week and this fact alone already alters the smoking habit. This is deemed as one of the reasons why people who’ve switched to e-cigarettes give up smoking easily. They alter some elements of the habit unnoticeably and it is no longer the same in two weeks. This seems to be the key action in the process of quitting smoking.

Other people explain the effect by the following: they take their tobacco cigarette smoking habit as their old life and now as they are switching to a new lifestyle anyway, they expect that everything will be different – to start with the way e-cigarettes taste.

However, what’s so special about those flavors. They usually come in different forms and in varying degrees of nicotine strengths.

Here are some of the flavors: mint, almond, chocolate, cherry, menthol, apple, strawberry, tobacco, coffee. A survey revealed that switchers prefer menthol and strawberry flavors.

As far as nicotine strength is concerned this is a matter of personal preferences. Some smokers would like full nicotine strength to keep them closer to the tobacco smoking sensations they’ve felt in the past. Others try out immediately the lighter strengths in the spirit of their emerging e-smoker’s lifestyle.

The flavors come with an electronic cigarette set with additional refills or if you already have your e-cigarette, with the cartridge refills. So e-cigarette starters can buy their first starter kit, and afterwards replace the nicotine cartridges in flavors they choose.

The flavors can be divided to traditional-like flavors, flavors resembling distinguished brands, flavors consisting of fruit or liquid scents, healthy flavors.

The traditional-like flavors include flue-cured tobacco, cigar, pipe, menthol. E-cigarette producers copy the scents of brands as Marlboro, Mild Seven, Hilton. The fruit and liquid flavors can be coconut, apple, caramel, coffee, peach, strawberry, red tea, chocolate, vanilla, pineapple, cola and even Red Bull. Healthy flavors contain a mixture of ginseng with vitamins. There is, of course, an option for tasteless nicotine cartridges.

When choosing the flavors you should combine them with suitable nicotine levels. This either increases the effect of the flavors or decreases it. But again it is a matter of a personal taste. The user can choose from low level nicotine in his cartridge of 6 mg, medium level – of 11 mg, high level – of 16 mg and extra high level of 24 mg. Sometimes the combination of a fruit flavor and the gradual reduction of the nicotine level influences beneficially on smokers trying to quit smoking.

E-cigarettes flavors open new windows for smokers so that they can feel freer in their choice to smoke or quit smoking.
