Beginner's Guide to Vape Flavors and Types: What to Try First

Starting your vaping journey doesn't have to feel overwhelming. The key is understanding the basic vape types available and knowing which vape flavors work best for newcomers. Lost Mary makes this even simpler with their beginner-friendly designs and straightforward flavor options that take the guesswork out of your first purchase.

What Are the Main Vape Types You Should Know?

Before we proceed to talk about flavors, we must discuss at least the four kinds of vapes that you might come across. Each one of them is unique in its own manner.

Disposable Vapes

“Disposables” are essentially grab-and-go versions of vapes. You open it up and start vaping right away without pressing a single button or learning a thing. Once you're done, you dispose of it and get a new one. For disposables, you typically get anywhere from about 9,000 to 35,000 or more puffs, depending upon which one you have.

Pod Systems

Pod systems offer enhanced features compared to disposables. You have a small battery that you can recharge, as well as pods that you just need to swap in and out. You have pods that come pre-filled with e-liquid or ones that you have to refill yourself. You get all that functionality in a pocket-sized package that is also easy to use. This is the type of setup that Lost Mary Tappo & BM600 are.

Vape Pens

Vape pens have a pen-like appearance. They're thin, cylindrical pens that have a reservoir that needs to be filled with e-liquid, as well as a battery that needs to be charged. They're a bit more involved in terms of usage, as one needs to handle tanks and coils, but they're easy to use as well.

Box Mods

Here you’ll find powerful gadgets with big batteries, screens, and lots of settings. Box mods offer you an opportunity to control wattage, temp, and airflow in such a manner that you get your desired vaping experience. Beginners tend not to favor box mods due to their size and the learning curve involved in handling them.

What Vape Flavor Categories Should You Start With?

Vape flavors are numerous, but they all fit into one of four categories. This overview will also help you understand your natural preference.

Fruity Vape Flavors

Fruit-flavored e-liquid is incredibly popular in vaping because it's a known and refreshing type that everyone will enjoy. You can find single fruit-flavored ones, such as strawberry or watermelon, as well as those that come in a combination of two or three different fruits. Fruit flavors are sweet and aren't too overpowering because of their intended effect of refreshing your system.

Menthol & Mint Flavors

You'll feel right at home if you're a fan of menthol cigarettes. Alternatively, you might enjoy a cooling sensation of mint or menthol regardless of your current brand of e-cig. You'll find pure mint or a mix of fruit and mint for an icy sensation. Miami Mint, for instance, has a multi-mint formula that's cooling.

Dessert Flavors

These are your sweet tooth options—vanilla custard, banana cream, or strawberry sundae. Now, your dessert vape flavors will offer you all that indulgent fun without all those extra calories. Dessert vape flavors are thicker and more complex than fruit flavors—many people enjoy them, while others find them too intense when they're just getting started.

Tobacco Flavors

For people making a transition from traditional cigarettes, tobacco vape flavors act as a convenient bridge. They vary from light and smooth to robust and full-bodied in an attempt to emulate a particular cigarette or cigar type. In recent tobacco flavors, a twist of sweet or nutty elements is commonly introduced for greater interest.

Which Vape Flavors Are Best for Beginners?

Not all vaping flavors are created equal when you're just getting started. This guide is a basic overview of how to get started.

Simple Fruit Choices

Begin with single fruit flavors before experimenting with something more complex. You can't go wrong with watermelon, strawberry, or mango. Lost Mary's watermelon lemon provides that fresh melon sensation with a twist of lemon—easy as that, but never dull. Such kinds of flavors are quite forgiving in the sense that you might not enjoy them the most, but they're enjoyable nonetheless.

Classic Mint Choices

Mint flavors in vapes provide a clean and refreshing sensation that is suitable for use at all hours of the day. They are not as sweet as fruit flavors but offer a satisfactory experience nonetheless. Blue Razz Ice is a mix of blue raspberry with a cooling sensation of menthol that provides a fruit experience as well as cooling in one offering.

Smooth Tobacco Alternatives

When you're trying to quit your smoking habit, tobacco-flavored vapes make this transition smooth for you. While you're just beginning your vaping experience, it's recommended that you go for a light tobacco flavor rather than a robust one. This will give you a sensation similar to when you smoke without making it too harsh.

How to Choose the Right Vape Types Based on Your Needs?

Picking the right vape types depends on your lifestyle, budget, and what you want from your vape flavor experience. Let's break down different scenarios to help you make a smart decision.

Lost Mary MT15000 Turbo for Heavy Users

The dual-mode function lets you adjust the experience based on the situation - use 11-watt Smooth Mode for subtle vape flavor during work, then switch to 22-watt Turbo Mode for intense flavor and bigger clouds during breaks.

Choosing Vape Types by Budget and Usage Scenario

3 FAQs about Vaping: Nicotine, Longevity, and Flavor

Q1. What Nicotine Strength Should Beginners Choose?

Beginning vapers find that a concentration of about 20mg (~2%) or 50mg (~5%) of nicotine salts is generally suitable, depending on one's previous experience as a cigarette smoker. For those who have been a pack a day or more, 50mg is a great throat sensation that is much nearer to a smoke than a vape. Others who do not smoke or have been light smokers start with 20mg to prevent an overload of nicotine intake.

Q2. How Long Do Different Vape Types Typically Last?

Battery power or e-cig liquid capacity is responsible for battery longevity. Regarding battery longevity, Lost Mary's MT 15000 Turbo, MT 35000 Turbo, MO20000 Pro vapes typically last 3 to 5 days when moderate vaping is performed (approximately 100 to 150 puffs per day). The MT15000 Turbo will last longer than that, approximately 1 to 2 weeks in Smooth Mode or a whole week in Turbo Mode. Refillable pods will last for months, while individual pods will last up to 600 puffs in 2ml pods.

Q3. Can You Switch Between Vape Flavor Categories Easily?

Yes. Your taste buds become accustomed to it quickly, in just a few puffs. Some vapers choose a single type of vape flavor that they are obsessed with, while others opt for multiple flavors across different categories throughout the day - fruit in the morning, mint in the afternoon, and dessert in the evening. Other than that, it's just a m "vaper's "vaper'" tongue," when your taste buds become desensitized to a particular flavor, you're vaping it too much.

Your first vaping experience should be smooth and enjoyable, not confusing. You need to start with easy-to-understand types of vapes, such as the MT 15000 Turbo, MT 35000 Turbo, MO20000 Pro and pair them with easy-to-understand vape flavors, like watermelon. You're all set.
