I cant find a vape I like today. I have some of what I thought were all day vapes but today they are just blah. The first one I tried ended up so sweet it turned my stomach...I never has done that before. I have four different juices loaded up right now and I cant get one to taste good...What is wrong with me today?

Tired taste buds, or whatever is tasting our juice for us. There seems to be various degrees of this condition, sometimes comes back quickly, other times could be a week or? I think the ingredients in juices can also react with different foods, just a theory. Lots of water, brush your teeth again, scrape your tongue and the soft palate on the roof of the mouth. Some say vaping minty flavor helps. Good luck!

I have that happen to me a lot so don't feel alone. I think part is still that your taste buds are adjusting from quiting analogs and it will take some time for them to readjust. The longer you vape the less you will notice it. For now I would try to switch to some things you don't vape as often and see if that helps. go back to your favorites in a couple of days. Also drink plenty of water ans I mean lots of it. Pg and VG too will dry you out and will cause your juices to taste funny or you can't taste them at all. Another thing I have read on the forum that I find helpful is to brush you teeth and tongue more frenquentl. That seems to stimulate you taste buds and brings the flavor back to your juice

Yep, completely normal! I vape a lot of sweet flavors and every now and then I'll have that day where it just tastes so disgustingly sweet that I can't stand it and I need something mellow so I don't puke. It'll pass in due time, just go find something else you tossed off to the side a while ago, maybe you'll like it right now. :)

From time to time I have had days where I just couldnt get that perfect vape no matter what juice I vaped. My favorite juice KPB which had always been my all day everyday vape didnt do it, Flavors ( which I usually dont vape anyway ) wasnt doing it and gets fustrating has hell, then the next day all is well and its back to normal. So glad to see I'm not the only one that goes thru this kinda thing.

Good to know..this is the first time it has happened to me. I hope it is bette in the morning.

You're vaping nearly two years and this is the first time you've experienced DTBS? (dead taste bud syndrome) -- I just made that acronym up, btw. LOL

Consider yourself fortunate, Jewls. What it happens to me, every few months or so, I switch to an odd (for me) e-liquid -- like a menthol or lemon or coconut. There is no mistaking those flavors. LOL

It usually lasts a day or maybe two before it all comes back. Hang in there. =)

It does happen to most of us at one time or another. I've been vaping over 2 years and it still happens.
If you have some unflavored, might as well use that for today. Just PG/VG and nic.
It'll clear up.
Follow the advice above, increase your water, clean your mouth several times a day and try different foods.

Hugs ~ It's frustrating but it'll go away.

Hapens to me all the time. I usually use cinnamint but after a while I can't taste it or I don't feel like to cool vape a mint nicquid give you. So I will go through flavor after flavor trying to find something that hits the spot. I have over a hundred different flavors and at least that many DIY flavorings. Sometimes it can take days to find the right flavor. I usually end up with a honey tobacco or crystalclearvaping's black and mild on my Infinity at 5 or more volts eventhough I usually don't do tobacco flavors. I thinks that sometimes I miss the heat and heaviness of smoke. After a few days I come full circle and miss my cinnamint. :)

That happens to me about every two weeks - nothing tastes good. Unfortunately, it seems to last all day and during those days, I worry that it's going to last. Fortunately, it clears up within a day or so. I like the idea of vaping one of your 'not so good' juices during those times just to get through the day.

That was the first time it had happened and was really weird. So glad thats done so far so good! I will try vaping less favored or flavored liquids next time! Thanks again for all the replies. Oh...I also wanted to add I was catching a cold too and I think that may have caused some of it. I really dont get sick much since quiting analogs. Before that I had Bronchitis at least twice a year. My little cold only lasted a couple of days!
