A lesson in 'liking it one minute, hating it the next'

I'm pretty new at this, but I've seen on the forum here people say things like 'some days you like it, some days you don't'. Well, I was puffin' on one of my favorites earlier this afternoon, a raspberry milkshake juice. Loved it as usual, creamy, fruity, nice. Then, about an hour ago I noticed I was vaping something like sugar with a very faint twist of raspberry. Dramatic change; same juice, same carto.
It's my first experience like that in 6-7 weeks. Is it common? It's not the juice morphing I don't suppose.

No it's your taste buds morphing. Find another juice to vape for a while then go back and it should be good again.

What about flavors that are just too powerful?

Will steeping let them tone down?

 

[carynjahn]

I don't think so unless they've steeped for a long time. Usually steeping enhances the flavors. I could be wrong though!

Taste buds can be strange. There are times of the day (every day, about the same time) where my daily favorite just tastes off. I vape other flavors and come back to it after an hour or two.

It is a common occurrence. It's akin to "vaper's tongue" or "flavor block". Sometimes the tasters pull a switcheroo on you especially if you've been vaping a common flavor profile for a while. Put the flavor away. Vape something else. Drink a lot of water regularly. Your tasters will bounce back. It could also mean your taste preference is changing. That happens too. I have bottles of juice that were all-day-vapes a few months ago, and now I can't get into them at all even though I can taste them just fine. Vape juice is like food to your taste buds. Eat your favorite food every day and soon enough you'll get tired of it.

Steeping often softens a too-sharp juice.
