All my juice lost its flavor?

[xanthan]

I keep all my juice and empty cartos, clearos, etc. in this Amazon.com: MTM Forest Green 50 Caliber Ammo Storage Can: Sports & Outdoors with a lock on it to keep the little ones out. All the bottles were sealed up, but there was a silica gel packet inside the box to keep the sweet smell at bay. Now all of my juice seems to have lost its flavor.

Was it the packet or am I not supposed to keep them sealed up like that?

I don't think so. Perhaps what is going on is that you have "vapers tongue" phenom. It happened to me a couple of times. I could taste food, but I couldn't taste my vape for the life of me. I went through several cartos thinking they were bad before I suspected what was going on. The flavor is there, you just can't taste it right now. Your taste will return. Causes can be too much chain vaping, dehydration and probably some other things. Drink a lot more water because PG & VG dehydrates you.

It's not your juice. It's you.

You've hit the doldrums. It happens.

Your sniffer is healing and creating a thin layer of mucus, not enough to congest you, but just enough to rob you of the taste of vape.

It has nothing to do with the silica packet. Your taste buds are shedding and healing. It's a very common problem and will go away in about a week and the flavor will return. Drink plenty of water as this will help. This will happen a few times to you in the first few months...don't be alarmed by it. It's annoying but it'll straighten itself out eventually.

It happened to most of us.

Alright I guess that makes perfect sense. I could taste it last night and when I woke up, nothing.

Thanks guys.

Some days we all have the vaping blues and it will come back. Try some unflavored if you have it


Sent from my truck using 3 toasters a broken microwave and 6 rubber bands McGyver style......Chuck Norris aint got crap on me

Try switching to different flavors during the day to help "kick start" those taste buds, drink lots (of water, Lol), and Relax, Enjoy!

This happened to me but I didn't realize it was common.

 

[Skoad]

Wish I had read this sooner.. Ive had this issue and I knew it was me.. but only because most of my problems are generally me. At least now I know what it was and caused it in case it happens again. I was also thinking all my juices just happen to go bad at the same time haha.

Changing flavors regularly helps. If possible, go for those stronger flavors too.

 

[TheGoofyOne]

I thought it was just me or my juice a couple of times until I learned here of vapors tongue. I vaped for months before I first experienced it. What I do is drastically change what i'm vaping. If i'm vaping a fruit, i change to a tobacco or a clove or something. I've heard lots of people vape unflavored, but I haven't tried it.

 

[Scott Dernbach]

I had this happen to me, but it was my own damn fault......Got cheap and "Cleaned" a bunch of cartos....but they were not completely dry prior to me trying to vape on them.....boiled my mouth (Took about a week before I could enjoy the flaves again! LOL).

Lesson learned..... don't be a cheap .......Buy more and let the rest dry!

The loss of taste is common for me as well. I have found drinking a lot of water and brushing your teeth/tongue helps. Switching flavors might help but did nothing for me. I just had to wait it out. It does get better and your taste will come back.

Use the Taryn Spin from You Tube, then set them in the sun open-end up. They'll be bone-dry the next day if you live anywhere west of the Mississippi.

I'm doing that (and I don't really like fruit all that much) but I noticed why CERTAIN flavor switching might work better than others....my tobacco flavors activate the back of my tongue, the sweet fruit flavors, the front. So I'm giving each end a rest while I use the other!

 

[mwa102464]

I keep some nice Minty Menthol for this, and vape it a few hits a day or for a while if I lose my taste buds, then switch back, but I also rotate though a bunch of flavors throughout the day when I vape and this helps too.

Or just change how you are cleaning them so that you can use the right away. It's not about being cheap. It's about doing things the best way you can. I have boges that are 6 months old and running strong to this day after dozens of cleanings. How to clean cartos so that you can use them right away is answered in the Vaper's Handbook here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/shoganinja/2998-vapers-handbook.html

Hi!! This is my first post! This happened to me too....I was able to get past it by using a candy cane vaper. Then drinking water....lots of water. Then I was able to start tasting my flavors again..hoped that helps you too

 

[kelleymcm]

Yup it's happened to me several times too ...
I just look at it as the time to vape the stuff I don't really care for


& WELCOME amienichole & all the other new folks!!
