Losing sensitivity to flavor??

[blotter]

Anyone else notice that when they start a new flavor it tastes very strongly like it's description but after some time smoking it exclusively it tastes bland like some generic flavorless smokejuice?

This has happened with several flavor for me. Namely the coffee and toffee/riskee flavors.

Am I just losing sensitivity to these from doing it often or is the flavor 'leaking' out from being carried around my pocket or something?

Any theories appreciated.

Bolter--it may well be--But I have not noticed this. What I have noticed is inconsitancies in batches of Johnson Creek Smoke Juice with lack of flavor depending on what batch my order came from and that is something that JC needs to address--Sun

I used to think this a while back when I used to top off the prefilled "stock" cartridges. Not until I started making my own cartridges by filling the blank filler did I get a consistent flavor. I also shake my liquid before topping off or refiling.

Taste buds get used to the flavor. I LOVE the cash true menthol. Well for the first 2 or 3 days that is. Gradualy it lost almost all flavor to me. I had my friend try it and he said it was very strong. I think I am going to switch flavors every 2 to 3 days from now on and see how that goes.

Yup. You just get used to it, so the sensation is dulled. Kind of like riding a roller coaster for the first time. You get a nice adrenaline rush.. but if you ride it 20 times consecutively, it loses it's luster. I was obsessed with Orange eLiquid at one time, and after a short while, it started to taste very bland. I switched flavors and though WOW this juice's flavor is so strong compared to the Orange. About a month later, I tried my Orange again, and it tasted like it did the first day I tried it.

A quick tip: If you absolutely love a flavor, use it sparingly, and change flavors frequently. That way they will all taste great when you vape them, and you won't get bored of em. I wish i hadn't been so in love with RY-4, because now I can't stand the taste, let alone the smell.. but I still crave it. haha go figure.

What Lib said! I use around 4-5 flavors a day to keep them tasting fresh. Sticking with 1 will cause your taste buds to start ignoring it.

I have a question, is it the nicotine or the other ingredients that give you the throat hit? And to clarify what I mean by throat hit ,because it seems that there are different ideas on what the person means, is the semi jolt , in a good way, that you get when you inhale and it gets about midway of your throat.

I like to think of it as an incentive to clean my atomizer

A lot of takes on this--but as a zero nicotine user who gets a good throat hit--I would have to conclude imo--it can not be the nicotine and goes to the ingrediants--Sun

The throat hit is from the heat im pretty sure. just like it is in an analog
