Looseing my motivation...again

I switch flavors two or three times a day. I have one-- cinnamon-- I hit only in the car. I usually do peppermint at the house in a tank, plus I keep a dripper rigged for clove, and I'm trying to work out an apple and a strawberry-banana and a grape. Trying a dripper sounds useful. Get plenty of fluids. And don't give up!

This is off topic and for that I apologize... Do you just use the clove flavor alone or mix it with something?
No, I mix it with sweetener. I was doing 18% clove, 8% sweet, 6mg nic, which works great in a 60/40 or 50/50 PG/VG mix for +ohm and is clove-y enough to numb your lips, but I find it too powerful for subohm. I'm still mixing it out to find what I want, and right now am vaping 14%clove, 3%sweet and 3mg nic. That gets me to 20/80. Next time I buy nic, I'll get 100% VG base. That will give me more room to maneuver.
EDIT: flavors from Flavor Apprentice.
You might want to check with your doctor to see if you might be having sinus problems.
Most of what we taste comes through our sense of smell. If there is a sinus issue, the taste in vaping seems to be the first to go. Ever have a bad cold and nothing tastes right? Same thing here but more subtle and greatly affects the taste in vaping.
A couple of things I do, besides keeping well hydrated, I mix a very strong menthol to help open my sinuses when they seem clogged. Also I have a couple of tobacco juices that when exhaled nasally seem to burn out my nasal passages to help.

Water, water, water. There's plenty of good tips about keeping a rotation and stuff like that, but everytime taste starts to go away i find it's a sign I'm not drinking enough water. The good thing is it's a quick easy fix.
Is it possible for the flavoring component of a juice would separate out over time? Could be getting all the flavor on the front end then there is not much flavoring left in solution? Dunno. I hope it gets fixed for you.
I stopped smoking 3 days ago. Only vapor now. Do you think I should try higher vg like 80 to 100?

Higher vg is more for increasing vapor production whereas PG carries the flavor. You might want to try higher PG?
Hmmm ill have to try an all or mostly pg and see. Most of my juices i order 50/50
Mostly pg will probably vape faster. 50/50 is what I get too, and I also have bouts of vapers tongue. I keep meaning to try unflavored for these times.
So crazy thing. I filled the same juice I have last couple of days, ate a banana then all the sudden I could taste the raspberry in my juice...water and brushing didn't do much but a banana did it? Coincidence? Lol
Things like that have happened to me too, after eating something I can suddenly taste again. Lol who knows how this works.
Vaper's tongue, try eating a cinnamon red hot or using a menthol juice to kick it...or swish Listerine mouthwash... Or even putting echinacea oil on your tongue can help.. Or if all those sound too intense, vaping a citrusy sour juice can help too. It will pass w time I promise.
Fwiw, once I was well past the vaper tongue phase, I also had this problem on my drippers for weeks, til I figured out I had hot legs on my coil and the overheated Kanthal was drowning out the taste of my juices. I moved em closer to the posts and voila. Instant heaven. Loll

Just ordered a watermelon menthol juice but ill try the mouth wash thing too thanks.
I have had this same thing happen. I just keep vaping although it tastes bad and like nothing but my body still gets the nicotine. Bananas are good and eating certain stuff helps the taste come back which is strange.
Yes, the dreaded vapors tongue. That's why I always tell new vapors to find 2 or 3 juices they like and switch often. Since you stated that both your juices are fruit flavors, I believe that may be a little part of your problem. Try putting some creamy desserts in your rotation and see if that helps, also like everyone said plenty of water should help too.
Since my Vape brothers and sisters gave you all the good answers here is my not so good answer (but it sometimes works). Kinda like eating that bit of ginger between bites of sushi, you can fill a cup up with fresh coffee grounds and smell it between flavor switches (clearing the smell pallet if you will). I have seen this done a lot when people are trying different juices. Granted, this is not as good a suggestion as the others have made, but I wanted to include it just for completeness sake.
Good luck my friend,

Are you using Kanthal? if so get some Ni200 wire and use temp control function on the IPV no more dry hits and excellent flavour.
