Discouraged - Have I gone taste deaf?

I started with provape flavors, didnt really like them. They had taste, but they all tasted too acidic. Next I ordered 5 flavors from Johnson Creek and they're just awful. I'm dripping and I've been all up and down the voltage spectrum with no luck.

I know what you are talking about, I have had disappointment with the flavors everybody raves about, I didn't like the Johnson Creek flavors at first, but now that they have steeped two weeks they are getting better. I use my Johnson Creek Flavors when all flavors taste flat, (not the VG "Red Oak" ones, the regular line), to help clear my palate.

I have had bad "Vaper Mouth" and have combated it by using a strong alcohol mouthwash, Brushing my tongue, sucking menthol cough drops, and strangely, by placing a paper bag over my mouth, (similar to when you hyperventilate), and breathing my own breath for several minutes, this seems to reset your taste buds if you have cleansed your mouth properly first.

I have found that "Vaper Mouth" is more related to VG based eliquids, they are thicker and tend to coat your mouth and nasal passages, it helps to turn up the heat to better combust these liquids.

Sadly, no one seems to have perfected flavoring yet, the fruit flavors tend to have the strongest and longest lasting flavor, vanilla and chocolate seem to fade or are very faint, tobacco flavors are unappealing for most after quitting smoking for a while.

Let the flavors you have and don't care for sit in the dark for a week or two, try revolving your flavors to prevent flat tastebuds and treat for Vapers mouth.

Other than that, keep searching and don't give up, also if you are unhappy with the flavors, contact the vendor you bought them from with a polite email explaining your experience, they should be grateful for the feedback and may be able to remedy the situation for you.

Good Luck and don't give up! Just think what you put up with smoking filthy cigarettes, constant burned mouth and throat, wheezing, coughing, bad flavor, no taste, (depending on the age and treatment of the tobacco), and you'll see that while vaping has not been perfected yet, if we all keep at it and let vendors know we want MORE FLAVORS that last, soon we will get what we need.

You may also want to check out vendors who use organic, natural flavors, they are more full flavored and smell as they should in the bottle. Chemical flavoring is just that and sometimes we don't have the ability to smell or taste what someone else thinks is a flavor when it has been made of God Knows What.

You may also want to switch your type of vaping, (at least for a while), to a delivery system that doesn't give occasional burnt hits, getting a burnt hit can kill your taste buds for days, which happened me quite a bit when I was doing Cartos, (improperly, I found out).
