I was wondering if anyone else got a bad after taste when they first started vapping? I am only four days with out analogs so I know that my taste buds are still wrecked but I am not sure if the metalic/sour after taste is normal. I am using juices from a few different vendors but they are all 50/50. I get the after taste with all of them after I vap a few times and I can not taste the actual flavor anymore.

I'm still adapting to my taste buds coming back to life, and it's getting mighty close to a month. However, the first few days were the pits. Metallic/sour aftertaste that had me switching flavors rapidly (I think that's a detox thing), constant brushing of teeth, the works. 
You may find, at least at first, that if you use cinnamon or peppermint-flavored something (Altoids work well if you don't have it as a juice) in between flavors, it wakes up your taste buds. Other people have found it actually dulls theirs. There's no universal truth on this one, it seems. (For me, it woke my taste buds up more because it was a more potent flavor.)
Then, about a week into it, I tasted a flavor I could only describe as 'cereal'. (It was actually almost identical to Honeycomb cereal taste.) It lingered for a few days, and then intermittently popped back for a few hours here or there, typically when I'd vaped the same juice for a while.

I am using the toaster er I mean the Cylon
Lol. Careful with that thing. You could wipe us all out.
I've never experienced metallic or sour tastes from cartos. Time to hand this off to someone who has.
Good luck.
Ladypixel that is it exactly. I find that if I brush my teeth it goes away and I can vap for a bit and actually taste it. I am glad to know that I am not alone. I will try the mint tip and wait for this to pass. If that is the hardest part about switching I will be one happy girl
Something else I'll recommend: drink TONS of water. The water will also help cleanse the palate to aid in helping you taste again, and since both PG and VG juices tend to dehydrate you, you need the water anyhow.
Hell I've been vaping for three weeks now and I still can't taste crap. Things smell real good and the way I taste them initially doesnt necessarily mean that they will remain that way. To boot I've got a cold right now so my nose is all stuffy.
I have a lavatube brand atty witha ss screen on it and it always tastes of metal. I refuse to use it. I bought several DCTs and they are what i use exclusively. Although the 100%vg i have been using has been playing hell with them. I always seem to suck em dry too fast Chain vapin ftw.

I totally sympathize with you. :] I've lost my taste once in a while... But I've learned that drinking lots of water helps with keeping it once it comes back.
