so today I have has so much issue with my tank system. All of the sudden out of no where I am getting no throat hit at all and very little flavor. I have tried diffrent attys and cleaned them all too and still no help. I got so frustrated I threw them all down and grabbed an cig from my husband. God that was a horrible taste and now Im feeling guilty and dissappointed in my self. But I was just so frustrated and I couldnt take it anymore.....:(

Don't beat yourself up, Mama - it can happen to the best of us. The stress and frustration just get too much and we reach for what is familiar and/or worked in the past.

Bet that taste will make you think twice in the future, eh?:)

You got that right. I just brushed my teeth and I can still taste that nastyness!

Please don't beat yourself up. I can't help you with your tank (I got rid of mine) but I can tell you this isn't a contest where whoever goes the longest without a cigarette "wins." It isn't a race and you're not a loser. What would you say to anyone else if they'd posted what you had? Look at how many cigarettes you haven't had! Amazing and congratulations on 700+ cigarettes avoided.

Don't be too hard on yourself. Your tastebuds are still changing which leads to days of being able to taste everything BUT your juices. 2 nights ago I was dealing with the same thing. My pure Cinnamon vape did nothing for it. It was suggested that I try a citrus type soda, brushing your teeth can sometimes help too. Just know we ALL go through it and that it will pass. :)

I completely agree with Reggie. This isn't a 12 step "program". No condescending looks or remarks. No bad vibes. No bad anything. Just a group of people who all want to change our lives. You didn't "slip", you didn't fall. You still move forward. You're here, right?
Keep up the good work!!

I have that happen from time to time; no taste, hard draw, little vapor. It's weird, no doubt about it, but I just muscle my way through and the next day everything seems to be working again. It sure is frustrating though when it happens and I can totally see why you reached for a cigarette. I might too if I had someone around to bum one from but my dog doesn't smoke so I'm out of luck and there is NO WAY I'm going to spend $7.50 on a pack of ashes. Don't be too hard on yourself; you've avoided plenty of analogs in the meantime and your lungs, I'm sure, thank you for it. Besides, if at first you don't succeed...well, you know the rest!

Not a fail at all, just another notch in your learning belt. I've been through the no taste blues too many times to count but I've learned to bulldoze on through them. The nice thing is, I really feel like vaping helps me avoid the sniffles. Haven't had any in the year I've been vaping. I'd rather push throuth a couple days of none of my juices tasting good than smoke through a cold.
Vape on! :vapor:

I discovered that MEL's Lemon Ice and Green Van (drip them on a regular 510 atty) completely refresh my tasters and when I pick up my tank with the TWDV mentholyptus in it, it is just like the first time I tried it...wow...

I know what you mean about the desire to have a cig and then having one and then wondering "how do I get this icky taste out of mouth and am I some kind of failure for even wanting one". It'll pass and you will be loving your vaping even more...stick with it, kido.

Yeah, like everyone says, don't beat yourself up ... I think it's good to try a cig after you've been vaping a while. You realize just how nasty it is and then you never want another one again. You won't have to try that again! Life is a process, a journey, sometimes we stumble, trip over our own feet, but we get up and keep traveling!

Do you have another backup PV? Sometimes when my main PV isn't giving me what I need, I pull out my old 510 and it satisfies. I've even pulled out my Blu on occassion and enjoyed the nice warm vape when nothing else has been giving me joy.

Everyone should have a simple backup to use here's a couple great deals this weekend:

Eliquidplanet.com | Age Verification - has 901 and 801 starter kits in their specials section for 19.99 each.

Quick nic Juice - Quality E-liquid made to order & made in the U.S.A - This new vendor has Genuine Joye 510 starter kits (2 batterys 2 attys!) for only $21.75 when you use code ecfsale {through tomorrow midnight.}

Sometimes its just a little switch that we need to get back on track!

Ps. I agree with Suzamme .. Premium E-Liquid and Handmade USA E-Juice by Mister-E-Liquid.com MEL's Green Van and Lemon Ice are two great taste bud perker uppers! (and he's having a 10% off sale with $1 shipping this holiday too .. code : memorialmonday
